- 1The DM
"Hey, quick one: I've plateaued for three months, here's my split, what would you change?"
- 2Your twenty minutes
You read the plan, spot the problem, write a proper answer, because that's who you are.
- 3The reply
"Thanks so much!!" Then silence. No booking, no follow-up, and tomorrow there are three more.
The advice was worth money. Only the delivery channel said it was free.
Mark it up.
Send it back. Get paid.
They upload the plan and answer two questions: what's the goal, where are you stuck. You mark it up like you would for a client and send it inside your window. Training plans, business plans, weekly schedules, meal plans: whatever people keep asking you to "just take a look at".

They send the plan, the goal and the sticking point. You send back the fix.
Use this formatApply for coaching
A real application before anyone gets on a call: where they are, where they want to go, what they can commit. You read it and decide. Every applicant paid for a thoughtful answer either way.
Use this formatPrices are template defaults you can change. Whether applicants become clients is up to you and them.
"Isn't this just a
paid consultation?"
It's the step before one. A paid question lets you help people who will never book a call, and the application qualifies the ones who should. You set the scope in the form, so nobody expects a full session for the price of a question. Can't answer something properly in text? Say what the next step is, record a short video, or refund it in one click.
Make the application your only intake link. Every enquiry arrives structured, serious and already paid.
Paste an unlisted Loom or YouTube link instead of typing. Many coaches find it faster.
Three days, a week, whatever fits your schedule. Miss it and the requester is refunded automatically.
Charge for the
quick question.
