1000 services in less than a month!


1000 services in less than a month!

A 30-minute consultation with a psychologist for only $5!


AirPersons has already completed its first month in beta phase. During this month there have been more than 1000 users from more than 10 different countries.

 The categories with the most services are:

- Health

- Psychology

- Law, lawyers

- Spirituality (tarot, horoscope, etc)

- Teaching

- Business


In this first phase the platform is positioning as a professional network in a 90%. Leisure and Languages categories are taking more time to start spreading the word. Since there is a lot of competition in the online learning sector that was expected. Our intention in this initial phase is to position AirPersons in the languages queries sector, and distance ourselves from online courses.


Precisely, it’s been published in the WSJ a very interesting article about the difficulties online courses-oriented business models are having. Here is the link


This first month has proved the concept of globalization of services really works, for users sharing a language can buy services and benefit from currency and income differences between countries. For example, it is already possible to buy a 30-minute consultation with a psychologist for only $ 5.  
It’s also possible to purchase a Tarot Reading for just only $ 3!
