Agencies & talent managers
Representing creators? Start with one test.
PayDM works creator by creator: each talent opens their own account, sets their own price and replies personally. You can suggest PayDM to the creators you represent, or run a free Demand Test with them first to check real interest.
There's no separate agency dashboard or multi-account access — each creator keeps their own PayDM account.

FAQ
Questions before
you start.
What is PayDM?
PayDM is a paid messaging platform. Creators set their own price, users pay to send them a message, and the creator replies personally — or the buyer is refunded automatically within 8 days.
How do creators make money on PayDM?
Every time someone pays to send you a message and you reply personally within 8 days, you earn your share of that payment. No subscription, no content required — just personal replies.
How much do creators keep?
80% of every message price is credited to the Creator’s balance. PayDM keeps 20%.
What does my audience pay?
Your audience pays the price you set, plus a 5% service fee added at checkout. They see the total before they pay — no hidden costs.
What happens if I don't reply?
If you don't reply within 8 days, the buyer is refunded automatically and you earn nothing from that message. More on how this protects buyers: Safety & Verification.
What is the PayDM Ambassador Program?
A program for selected Creators, available on request and subject to PayDM's approval, where 90% of the message price is credited to the Creator's balance instead of the standard 80%.
Can Creators earn by referring other Creators?
Yes. A Creator who directly refers another Creator to PayDM earns 15% of the PayDM revenue generated by that Creator, for as long as they keep generating revenue, with no limit on the number of Creators referred. See for Creators for details.
Is PayDM a subscription or a call platform?
No. There's no subscription and no calls to schedule. PayDM is pay-per-message: one payment, one written reply.
