Norm Kirchner Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 http://www.skype.com/allfeatures/skypeprime/ I just stumbled across this today and it looks like an interesting concept Using Skype to get help from experts or be listed as an expert and ppl Skype to you. QUOTE Skype Prime Beta – if you're looking to learn a new language or get some expert advice about just about anything, you can search the Prime Directory for an advisor who suits your needs. When you find the right provider for you, call them on Skype and get their advice via call or a video call, so you can learn in the comfort of your own home. So what I figure is that all us on Skype should list ourselves as experts and make some $ off of all the Homework Hustlers....ok, maybe that is un-ethical...ok it's totally unethical. and goes against all that the community stands for.... but it's a funny thought But the serious thought is that you actually don't have to charge anyone anything if you are listed as a pro-provider and someone contacts you. Not like we need any more distractions, but I figured I would put my finding out here and see what you all think. OOOOooooh I'll have to sign up now as a provider and be the first out the gate!!

How are we supposed to compete with that? I'd have to apply for a government bailout if I set my wages that low. Or is that part of your plan ??? :ninja: Quote Link to comment
Norm Kirchner Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 It's just a teaser rate, once I get you locked into the premium membership then I get to drain you for $45/year as a retainer fee and then I'll ask for cash at random times throughout the year to help me "cover costs"......wait.....didn't LAVA already do that? Looks like its a good working model! Quote Link to comment
