In a previous post I discussed how I was using Skype to teach people in other countries English as a Second Language. Although I believe I'll create a 501c non-profit to grow this concept, I was curious to see if people would pay for this service. I have a bit of an entrepreneurial streak in me.
I initially set the price at $5.00 for a 30 min. lesson. However, since I'm targeting Central and South America plus the Dominican Republic, I realized that $5 U.S. dollars is a lot of money in these foreign currencies. I lowered the price to $1.00 for a 30 min. lesson. I'll see if this is the "magic number." Maybe it's like
iTunes - 99 cents a song and I'll have ESL classes at a $1.00 per lesson.
