The idea of setting a fee for contacting you exists over at 21.co -- you can set up an inbox and charge $1, $5, $20, or $100 per message that people send (the assumption being that you agree to read & respond to all messages). It seems cool for people in high demand - there are a few CEO types who set it at $100 to filter out most of the crap, then donate the funds to charity so it isn't scummy.
That's a drag that you're getting so many calls. Are they coming in over a land-line? We've only had cell phones for years and if a call comes in from a number we don't recognize we just don't answer.
My old boss would cut off anyone making a pitch with the line, "I bill out at $300 an hour. If you want to continue this discussion you'll have to give me your mailing address and the clock starts now."
That actually is a great idea, hell some people might even want to charge $20 or more to listen to certain relatives! Now just setup a block-chain system to automate this and you are on your way.
