# Hotly -- Get paid to talk to your fans, one day a week.

A tip jar that writes back. Run a paid Penpal Chat and a free Dome Community from one Hotly link. Creators keep 80%.

## What you run on Hotly

**01 - Penpal Chat -- your paid channel.** Your biggest fans subscribe to become your penpal. You reply on one fixed day a week. You keep 80%.

**02 - Dome Community -- your free audience engine.** Post a question. Replies land in your inbox. Every reply comes with the person's email -- yours to keep.

**03 - Link in Bio -- your command center.** One page holds your Penpal Chat, your Dome, and your socials.

**04 - Sadie -- your chief of staff.** By Tuesday morning she's pulled your numbers, read your Dome, and flagged who's waiting. One memo on your desk. No dashboards. She does everything except reply to your penpals -- that's yours.

## The funnel

Free audience on one side. Paid relationships on the other.

1. **Discovery** -- A follower sees you on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube.
2. **The link** -- Lands on your bio. Sees your Dome Community and your Penpal Chat side by side.
3. **Free note** -- Replies to a prompt. You get their email. They get to know you over a few weeks.
4. **Paid** -- Becomes a penpal. A standing weekly conversation.
