Getting Paid for Chat: A Message to the Natives

Talkster.ru is now a week old. Russians will pay to talk to native English speakers and we're pretty sure that you'll talk for a fee - that much we know from learn2.

The challenge this week is to work out the parameters for that conversation. How much do you want to get paid for a 45-minute conversation and are you worth it?

If Russians are going pay to talk to you, they'll want something back. It's not easy to put a price on a conversation, but we've set it at $15 - that's what people pay to talk to you.

However, there's more to Talkster than transactions. For now it's aimed at students and recent graduates - the conversations are scheduled in the afternoons - and the conversations are designed as a challenge.

What would you say to Igor from Murmank when he asks whether Scotland should be independent? How about Elena who works as a family solicitor in Novosibirsk?
