How much would you charge per hour to speak to a random stranger in English?

How much would you charge per hour to speak to a random stranger in English?<p>There are a lot of people(most of them kids) in Asia are trying to practice English. And I just learned that a typical 1v1 chatting service may cost more than $30 per hour. I built a quick MVP to offer these people a more affordable option, the idea is basically this: creating a marketplace that native speakers(instructors) and learners can meet and match. You can kind of consider it as &quot;Uber of speaking English&quot;. I am trying to figure out what would be a good price suggestion that I should have in the website. Currently I am thinking around $25 per hour.<p>The website is: app.lingwu.ai BTW, if you want to earn some part time money, or just chat with people from the other countries, try signing up!!

Perhaps you should change the title. This looks more like a promotion of your site than a question. It is fine to post your stuff here, but if it looks like you are trying to disguise it, someone will complain.<p>How much do you get from the call?<p>There is no landing page. If I go to your site, it is only a signup form. No way I&#x27;m creating an account without at least a few nice graphics.<p>Can I select between British English and American English?<p>Can I filter by topics? Can I select someone to talk about movies, or about books, or about cooking? (Is this a common feature in other sites?)<p>How do you prevent abuse from the users? How do you prevent that this is trnasformed into a webcam porn site?

Turn on a English radio broadcast it is free and you learn every day English like a native speaker

Could you offer a spectrum or market (where I can set my price) and see what happens?

Personally I&#x27;d be so annoyed by random strangers calling me that it would take at least $1000&#x2F;hr to make me sign up. Good luck though.
