I received hundreds of messages through Reachme.io, which I find incredibly helpful. However, many don't know how to communicate effectively with busy, impatient people like me. Here are some tips.
1. State your ask in the first sentence.
Start by clearly stating your request, like seeking investment, so I know what to focus on immediately. Don’t start with an intro, background, description, and only make an ask in the end. I won’t know what to read for.
2. Make your ask explicit. 
Many add vague asks like “would like your support” or “collaboration.” I wouldn’t know what you want. But if you say, “we are raising $500k at a $5m valuation,” it’s clear.
3. Make it concise.
Long messages are easy but show an unorganized mind. Short, concise writing is harder but easier for the reader.
4. Ask precise questions. 
Avoid broad questions like "What do you think about the crypto industry?" I address those in media interviews, so searching online for answers is better. Open-ended questions are tough to answer repeatedly.
5. Don’t waste money.
I won’t tell you which coin to buy.I won’t evaluate a project for you.I won’t interact with your meme coin just because you asked.I won’t jump on a call.I won’t give you crypto. I donate in bulk, but I can’t verify that you aren't a scammer individually.I won’t follow you just because you asked. It may come naturally.
6. If you want to recommend a project to me, you can write concisely why it is good, I will read it.
7. I would greatly appreciate any valuable feedback you may give me, and I will even pay you back.
8. I am looking for builders who can build. I am looking for talent.

Time-based tokens, i.e., KOLs tokenizing their time, have recently resurfaced. Although various attempts have been made in the past, none have taken hold yet.
Instead of time, I have always wanted to optimize reach. LinkedIn, X, provides this ability, but the barrier is too low, resulting in a lot of spam, making them unusable.
Here is an idea for a platform that allows serious people to reach others.
A famous person (KOL) connects his X (or LinkedIn) to the platform, verifying who they are. He then sets a price for people to message him, say 1 or 0.1 BNB.
Anyone can message him/her by paying that amount first. If the KOL does not respond within 5 days, 50% of the paid amount is returned to the requester. There is still a cost to the requestor, which deters spamming and encourages them to write the message effectively.
The KOLs are incentivized to respond. They get paid 50% more.
Defaults based on my personal preference:
Max message length should be limited to 2000 characters, roughly a two-pager.No images. No attachments. (No virus downloads)
The requester can include his contact info in the message. If the KOL contacts them directly, he (and the platform) gets paid 50% less.
If the KOL wishes, he can reply with his contact info, and then the conversation can continue on a free messaging app.
The platform charges a 10% fee for all transactions. Payment-wise, the requestor pays crypto to the platform, which then splits 90% to the KOL’s provided address. 
No new token is needed.
No time-based tokens.
Hopefully, there is enough demand for such a platform to make it a sustainable business.
This might be a good way for KOLs or professional consultants to get paid for their responses.
I would use a platform like this. I will donate the crypto I receive to a charity. This helps filter out only serious people to reach me. I may move the conversation off the platform when the other party has something serious to offer, return the payment, or even give a bounty (for security tips, etc). I will then be able to open up my DM to everyone and adjust the price over time based on how unpopular I am.
This model doesn't solve all problems. Not to be arrogant, I'd imagine many scammers will be willing to pay 1 BNB to reach me.
YZiLabs may invest in a project that develops a good MVP using BNB/BSC as the primary payment option. It should take a few days/week of coding and a security review. I will be a first user, provided the platform is secure enough.
X, Linkedin, or Square could build this as a feature, but big companies move slow. Might be faster with a new site.
Just an idea for the weekend.
