The Premium Inbox App on UniLink lets you charge fans to send you direct messages, turning your attention into a valuable and exclusive resource.
What is the Premium Inbox App?
The Premium Inbox App allows creators to monetize direct access to themselves by requiring fans to pay a fee before sending a message. This filters out low-quality inquiries and ensures that the messages you receive are from people who genuinely value your time. It is especially popular among coaches, consultants, and influencers who receive high volumes of messages and want to prioritize quality interactions.
How to Enable the Premium Inbox App
- Log in to UniLink Dashboard
- Go to Apps
- Select Premium Inbox and click Enable
- Set your per-message price and optional response commitment
