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!

How to find a service or a class in AirPersons.

If this is your first time accessing AirPersons you'll appreciate this entry.

In our YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/airpersons) you can find video 3 (see below) explaining the basic functions when searching for services, consultations and classes in AirPersons.

When using the top search bar, you will be choosing the default search settings, which display the search results as follow:

- Online users first

- Lowest price per minute first

- User with better rating first

That’s all for the main default search system.

Advanced search

-Search users according to their accepting payment method (Cash and/or AirPersons Credits)

-Select users who provide a service in any given country and/or who speak one or more selected languages.

-Set the maximum price you are willing to pay for half an hour of that service, consultation or class,

-Use the search criteria to filter by gender, age, studies, degree and more.

In another entry, we'll explain the ‘Search users’ option.

No press notes until DISRUPT NYC 2013!

We’re eager to tell everyone: AirPersons has just launched its beta version onJanuary 1st. We would like to launch a press release in 30 languages... but WE CAN’T! These are the rules of TechCrunch, not a single press release before the NYC Disrupt!

Why? It’s very simple; the event organizers want to serve as the international launching place of the projects presented there. That will make NYC the capital of the entrepreneurship and start-up world for a week.

So the only thing we can do until then is to write in this blog and hope we’ll be in NYC presenting our project. Until then, those first registering to AirPersons will come from the viralization of those first invited: friends, family and team members.

If you have received an invitation and are reading this blog, that means the viraltool works!

AirPersons.org

 Airpersons.com donates 5% of its profit each year to Airpersons.org. The purpose of the Airpersons Foundation is to install computerized classrooms in remote villages without economic resources in third world countries. Classrooms will be multipurpose and will be used for teaching, traininga and remote consultation with doctors, specialists, teachers, legal counsellors, etc..

Airpersons projects will have a duration of three years each. The goal is that in that time the classroom will get local donations to finance itself, once the community realises of the benefits it brings being in a such support program and receiveing free help from doctors, teachers and other professionals.

The foundation's goal is to create specific projects and sustain them over time. To do this, Airpersons.org combines solidarity jobs with classroom training through the web page Airpersons.com to achieve:

- Telemedicine remote queries

- Foreign language training support

- Computer training and programming languages

- Person-to-person mentoring and tutoring school children

The founding ideals of Airpersons.org encourage time donations over money donations. Airpersons.org asks every user of Airpersons.com to donate a portion of their time to help other less fortunate people anywhere in the world.

If forty doctors give away two hours a week of their time, a village doctor can have eight hours every day of video-chat to consult. I wish we could have a doctor in person in every village, but that’s not possible, costs are high. We believe Airpersons.org is the best solution when there are insufficient financial resources. In addition, we expect in not too long the development of new hardware and peripherals for computers such as cameras with built-in high resolution light, portable scanners, etc., which together with Airpersons will allow an almost infinite number of new applications for videochat services.

Incoming call. You’re going to make money!

 How to make money in AIRPERSONS working from your phone.

Airpersons users may soon make money from their mobile phones. We are developing the ANDROID and iOS versions of our application.

Initially, the functions of the ANDROID and iOS Apps will be the following:

- Receiving calls from Airpersons users and provide your services via video, voice and video chat. Earning from your clients will be credited to your Airpersons account.

- Service searching by keyword, listing and viewing.

- Contracting a service

- Paying by credit card, Pay Pal or Google Wallet

- Rating the service at completion.

The mobile version of Airpersons is going to be simple and convenient. Users who already have an Airpersons account and provide a service will simply need to download the application from their mobile Apps store.

From that moment the application works like Skype or any other videoconferencing service, when you receive a call, you are notified of who is calling and the service they wish to buy. After accepting the call, it works similarly to the web, the first two minutes are always free, and after that the user is charged according to your established price.

Beta release of Airpersons. January 2013

After a year and a half of work AIRPERSONS is about to see the light in beta.

Our goal is to introduce us to the public in 2013 TechCrunch's Disrupt in NYC and use it as a platform to launch the project. We jump into the arena and compete as gladiators! To meet the requirements for the TechCrunch's Disrupt the web at this moment is open for loading users profiles only. Three months prior to TechCrunch's Disrupt, it will open with all its features.

AirPersons is an on-line service market place through live video chat, whose objectives are:
- Globalising the world of on-line services to get lower prices in traditionally expensive services such as doctor's advice, legal consultations, tutoring, etc. It only takes two persons speaking the same language to benefit from the advantage of currency exchange when purchasing a service.

- Connecting supply and demand of services (consultations and classes) immediately, saving time and eliminating delays. For example: I wish to talk to a doctor right now and I cannot wait for an appointment, I have witnessed an accident and want to talk to a lawyer to find out whether or not I should move the wounded and the responsibilities that I might eventually face.

When doing our research, we found there are doctors in India offering on-line consultations for $ 10, and how lawyers in different U.S. States compete to gain customers by lowering the prices of their consultations.

AirPersons is also a way for professionals (doctors, lawyers, accountants) and students to earn an additional income by offering their knowledge, Math classes, language tuitions, etc. Even housewives can offer traditional local cooking classes, certainly more than one would like to learn Thai cuisine and many in Asia will be happy to taste the Thanksgiving's turkey!

We all have something to share with someone somewhere in the world.

To achieve all this, AirPersons has the advantage of being available in 25 languages from the start reaching to more than 2 billion potential customers. AirPersons has also more than 1000 service categories.

It has been many months of hard work, and now the show begins.

NYC here we go!
