Makr Journal · Bookings & Meetings

Book paid meetings — stop giving away your time for free.

Five steps from free calls to paid calendar

No back-and-forth DMs, no invoices after the fact. Just one link that qualifies, charges, and schedules — announce it with our product launch checklist and link it from your link in bio.

01Minute 0–5 · Offer

Define one bookable offer

Name a single outcome — “30-min portfolio review”, “paid discovery call”, “1:1 coaching session”. One duration, one price, one promise. Vague calendars don't sell; specific offers do.

02Minute 5–10 · Availability

Set hours, buffers & limits

Pick your weekly windows, add 10–15 min buffers so calls never bleed together, and cap bookings per day. Makr blocks off time automatically — no double-booking, no 6am surprises.

03Minute 10–12 · Connect

Sync calendar & Stripe once

Connect Google Calendar and Stripe Connect. Paid slots collect money at booking time; free intros skip checkout. Every payment lands directly in your account.

04Minute 12–15 · Questions

Add intake questions

Ask for the link, the goal, the context — 2–3 fields max. Answers arrive with the booking email so you walk into every paid meeting prepared instead of doing live discovery.

05Minute 15 · Publish

Share your booking link

Publish to yourname.com/meet. Drop the link in your bio, proposals, DMs, and email signature. The page is static HTML on a global CDN — it loads instantly when a hot lead clicks.

Why paid-at-booking wins

Your calendar. Your price. Zero chasing.

Scheduling tools rent you a calendar link. Makr gives you a revenue asset — the same Stripe checkout that powers online courses and digital downloads, tuned for selling your time.

Availability that protects you

Weekly windows, date overrides, daily caps, and automatic buffers. Your calendar stays full without ever feeling frantic.

Paid at booking, not after

Stripe checkout is built into the slot. No invoices, no “I'll pay after the call”, no chasing. Free intros and paid sessions live side by side.

Google Calendar two-way sync

Busy events block your booking grid; new bookings land on your calendar with meet links and intake answers attached.

Reminders that kill no-shows

Automatic confirmation + 24h and 1h reminders with reschedule links. Paid bookings plus reminders cut no-shows to near zero.

Your domain, your brand

yourname.com/meet — not a generic scheduling subdomain. Every booking link builds your SEO and your credibility, not someone else's.

Static-fast booking page

The public page is pre-rendered HTML on Cloudflare's edge. Prospects pick a slot in under a second — on any phone, anywhere.
