Attention Fee

A calmer way to handle cold outreach

Cold email is
no longer free.

Attention Fee helps people protect their inbox from unsolicited business emails. Trusted contacts get through normally. Cold senders may be asked to pay a small fee before their message is reviewed.

Payment earns consideration—not a reply, meeting, or business relationship.

Waiting for the sender to value your time

Held

Your inbox stays open.
The noise simply has a cost.

The imbalance

Sending is free.
Attention is not.

Sending hundreds of cold emails costs almost nothing. Reading them, evaluating the proposals, and deciding whether they deserve a response takes real time.

Attention Fee introduces a small, deliberate cost. It filters out low-effort outreach and highlights the messages senders genuinely believe are relevant.

How it works

A simple exchange,
with clearer intent.

01

A cold email arrives

An unsolicited commercial message reaches the recipient.

02

A fee is requested

The sender receives a private link with the recipient’s Attention Fee.

03

The sender decides

Paying shows that the proposal is considered relevant enough to stand behind.

04

The message is reviewed

The original email moves into the recipient’s personally reviewed inbox.

Received a request?

Your message has not been rejected.

The recipient receives more unsolicited proposals than they can reasonably review. The fee helps separate thoughtful, relevant outreach from messages sent indiscriminately at scale.

Your email contains a unique payment link connected to your proposal. Use that link to place your message in the recipient’s reviewed inbox.

Payment guarantees consideration of your message. It does not guarantee a reply or any commercial outcome.
