How do I get paid for Zoom calls with my followers?
Updated November 2026
You do not need Zoom. Make a Talkspresso booking page, add a call with a length and a price, and set up Talkspresso Payments, powered by PayPal. Put the link in your bio. Followers pick a time, pay when they book, and meet you on video in their browser. Talkspresso takes 10% on the Free plan, 0% on Pro.
Steps
- Go to talkspresso.com and press Start free. Add your name, your email and one sentence on what people pay you for, or press Continue with Google.
- Make your first call: a name, how long it is, and a price.
- Pick the days and hours people can book, then press Create page. Your page is live right away, and free calls can be booked from the start.
- Open talkspresso.com/payments and press Set up Talkspresso Payments. This links your PayPal Business account, so the money lands there when someone pays. A priced call can't be booked until you do this. If you have a personal PayPal account or none, PayPal asks you to open a Business account, with your business type, address and tax ID.
- Paid bookings open 24 hours after signup, on their own; you do not need to do anything.
- Put your link, talkspresso.com/yourname, in your bio, your Stories and your emails.
When a follower books
They pick a time, pay by card or with PayPal, and get an email with the video link. Talkspresso emails you both the day before, an hour before and 15 minutes before. At the time, press Join on talkspresso.com/bookings (it opens 10 minutes before the start). Your follower opens the link in their browser.
Questions people also ask
Can I run the call on Zoom instead?
No. A Talkspresso service is either a video call in Talkspresso's own video room or, for one-on-one calls, in person. The video room runs in the browser, so neither of you needs a Zoom account.
How many followers do I need?
There is no follower minimum. What counts is whether people already ask you for advice in comments or messages.
Can I sell more than one-on-one calls?
Yes. You can also sell a package of calls, a workshop, a group course or a webinar.
