Relationship problems don't schedule themselves for business hours. The people who follow your content reach out at the worst moments — mid-argument, post-discovery, the night before the conversation they're dreading — and they don't want a worksheet or a webinar. They want a calm, experienced voice right now. Your DMs prove it: long, urgent messages from followers pouring out a situation and hoping you'll answer. You can't carry that for free, and a "book a call next week" link doesn't meet the moment.
This is the gap most coaching tools can't close. A scheduler like Calendly assumes the client can wait; an inbox full of unpaid crises assumes you can work for nothing. Neither is true. What works is a price on your presence — low enough to reach in a hard moment, real enough to protect your energy.
What relationship coaches sell on Cheddify
Per-minute talk-it-through calls
Toggle yourself available and your followers can tap your bio link, pay as guests in the browser, and be face to face with you in under a minute — no account, no scheduling. Someone spiraling after a fight pays your per-minute rate to be talked down and talked through it. The meter runs while you talk; they pay for exactly the support they use. This immediacy is something almost no coach offers, and it's precisely what this niche's clients crave. More on the model in how to charge for video calls.
Booked sessions
For the deeper work — recurring patterns, rebuilding trust, communication skills — offer scheduled 30- or 60-minute sessions, paid up front. Prepayment ends no-shows, which matters when you've prepared for an emotionally heavy hour. If you currently juggle a scheduler, a video app, and invoices, see the Calendly alternative for paid calls comparison.
Paid DMs
The long confessional DM becomes sustainable when it's paid. Set a price; followers send their situation and get your thoughtful written response on your schedule. It's also a natural bridge — many paid DMs become booked sessions.
Boundaries deserve a direct word here, because this niche runs on empathy and empathy is exhaustible. The availability toggle is your friend: being paid for presence only works if presence is something you deliberately switch on. Coaches who thrive with this model treat live availability like a shift — announced ahead, bounded in length, and closed at the end — rather than a permanent state of reachability.
What should relationship coaches charge?
Sellers in this niche commonly charge $2 to $7 per minute, with $4 a frequent middle. Urgent-moment calls tend to run 15 to 30 minutes, so a $4 rate keeps a crisis call in the $60 to $120 range — accessible in the moment, meaningful to you. Price booked sessions at the same per-minute equivalent so your offers don't undercut each other.
A worked example
You charge $4 per minute and take a 30-minute call from a follower working through a hard conversation: they pay $120, plus about 3% card processing billed to them on top. Cheddify's fee is 20% + $2 per call, so you keep 80% of $120 ($96) minus $2 — a payout of $94 via Stripe. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
The honest part: Cheddify brings you zero clients
Cheddify won't find you a single client — there is no marketplace, no browsing, no discovery. It converts the audience you already have on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube: the people who watch your videos and already trust your voice. If that audience exists, Cheddify turns their trust into sessions while you keep about 80%. If it doesn't yet, a discovery-driven platform is the more honest recommendation today — see Minnect alternatives — while you build your content. Your link is free to claim: how it works.
