$57k/month in our 8th month since launch
by Alex RedfernWe're growing steadily by focusing on high teaching standards, and building out new channels. YouTube ads gave us a significant boost since July, and we're signing up some content creators with big followings to our affiliate scheme. We also launched 3 podcasts in the summer and they're growing steadily. SEO hasn't kicked it in yet but we believe we'll start to see results next year with some further work this autumn. Launching more languages this month (Japanese, Portuguese and Romanian). Our biggest challenge is time - I run everything and Don builds whilst also having a job and some crazy kids 👶

Did you block access from the US or your website is down?
I am getting an "access denied" message from Cloudflare
Also, is the $57k/month your own cut after paying tutors or the total GMV?
lastly, how's Languatalk different from Lingoci?

Hey there, we had to block parts of Africa and the Middle East due to people booking free trial sessions then not turning up or not checking prices before. We hate it when tutors' times is not respected. Where are you based? 57k is all transactions, not our cut, sadly! And LanguaTalk has a much nicer design as we designed and built it from scratch, whilst Lingoci uses third party software. It's easier to assess tutors, you can see reviews and they set their own pricing. Those are some of the main differences. It's also more scalable.
