Get Paid to Answer Emails
Cold pitches, intro requests, "can you look at this" emails. They all want a careful answer and none of them pay for it. FastPass adds a paid lane to the inbox you already have.
Same email address · Reply from your mail app
Where your email hours actually go
Long emails, short deadlines
A stranger sends three paragraphs about their startup and asks for feedback "by Friday if possible". A good answer takes half an hour. You either rush it or let it sit.
Important mail buried
The email that matters sits between newsletters, sales sequences and follow-ups to follow-ups. Inbox rules help, but they cannot tell a serious request from a mass mailing.
No way to say "this costs something"
Replying with your consulting rate feels pushy. Not replying feels rude. So you answer for free and quietly resent it.
How a paid email inbox works
Publish your link
Put your FastPass link in your email signature, your contact page or your out of office message. Set the price per email.
Sender pays into escrow
They write their email on your page, pay by card and choose a reply window of 24, 48 or 72 hours. The money is held until you answer.
Hit reply, get paid
The message arrives in your normal inbox. Reply in time and 75% is paid out to you. Miss the window and the sender gets a full refund.
Why charge for email at all?
Sending an email costs nothing, so people send a lot of them. Reading and answering one properly costs the recipient real time. When that imbalance gets big enough, the inbox stops working: the people who most deserve an answer wait behind the people who simply send the most.
A price restores the balance. Someone who pays to reach you has thought about what they want to ask and how to ask it. Their email is usually shorter, clearer and easier to answer. You also know exactly how much it is worth to them, which makes prioritising your inbox much simpler.
FastPass was built around email from the start. There is no new app to check and no separate dashboard to reply from. Paid messages arrive at your existing address with the amount and the deadline in the subject line. You write your answer in Gmail, Outlook or whatever you use today, and the reply is detected automatically so the payment can be released.
You stay in control of volume. By default FastPass accepts up to 5 paid emails per day for each person, and you can change your price whenever you like. Raise it if you are swamped, lower it if you want more conversations. Free email to your regular address keeps working exactly as before.
Senders get a fair deal too. They know their email will be read and answered within the window they picked. If that does not happen, the refund is automatic, so paying never means gambling on silence.
Frequently asked questions
Is this one of those "get paid to read emails" sites?
No. Those sites pay a few cents to read advertising. FastPass is the opposite: people who want your personal reply pay the price you set, and the money is yours once you answer.
Do I need a new email address?
No. Paid messages are delivered to the email address you already use. You answer by hitting reply in your usual mail app, and FastPass detects the reply automatically.
What stops someone from emailing me for free anyway?
Nothing, and that is fine. Your normal address keeps working. FastPass gives you a priority lane: paid messages come with a deadline and a payment attached, so you know which emails to open first and which ones can wait.
How and when am I paid?
When you reply before the deadline, the payment held in escrow is released to your Stripe account and paid out to your bank. You keep 75% by default, or 85% once three creators you referred have joined.
What if I cannot answer an email in time?
The sender chose a 24, 48 or 72 hour window when they paid. If you miss it, they are refunded in full automatically. There is nothing for you to do and no penalty on your side.
