Frequently Asked Questions
Is paying to ask a question better than cold email?
Yes. Cold emails have ~1% response rates because there's no signal you're serious. Paying to ask shows commitment and puts you at the top of someone's inbox.
How does this compare to Cameo?
Cameo is for shoutout videos; Nudge is for actual advice. You get a thoughtful written answer, not a 30-second clip.
What if my question doesn't get answered?
Your card is only authorized when you submit. If they don't answer within 7 days, the authorization expires and you're never charged.
How much does it cost to ask a question?
Prices are set by each creator and vary by answer length. Typical pricing: Yes/No ($1-2), Short ($3-5), Medium ($5-10), Long ($10+).
Can I ask follow-up questions?
Each question is a separate transaction; for follow-up you ask another question. This keeps answers focused and creators compensated.
Who can I ask questions to?
Browse our creator directory for experts, founders, and operators. Each creator sets their own availability and pricing.
