Online Advice and Training

I got an invite from Kasamba to become an expert there and found it very interesting: people have different rates and then you get rated by your customers.

Having real dollars is good for the expert but not necessarily for customers since there are some risks involved in paying unmet persons.

However, reading "Online Advice: Remote--and Reassuring: More investors are finding savvy guidance on the Net" makes me think that there is something about online consulting. There are the email and forums but there is also the live chat [like Kasamba] hands on advice too.

With the startup I have in mind, an addition would be: an online training course could be made available with multiple customers signing up and then can interactively ask questions. Live session would be more expensive than non-live viewing. Email/forums can be used to get questions answered after the live sessions. Maybe the live customers may have to pay up front but if others find it useful the live customers might make some royalty too [for their questions and/or answers as part of participating in the live session]. I guess having a prepaid system [more you prepaid the more discount you get] will make it easier to spend one's system "tokens" [whatever the internal payment currency is].
