Skype has a new service in Beta called Skype Prime. It allows you to accept calls from clients on a "pay per call" basis. Here's how it works:
First, upgrade to the latest version of Skype, or download it from Skype.com. It's free, just like Yahoo! Messenger or MSN Messenger. Once installed, look under Tools in the menu bar at the top, and click "Earn Money With Skype Prime".
This will take you to a set-up window which will explain all of your options and allow you to set up your own account. Here are the details you'll see there:
- Accept calls from Skype users and charge them a fee for your service – easily and directly through Skype.
- Register your payment details to receive your earnings directly through PayPal.
- Set up your service and add optional extras with additional fees.
- Choose various charging options such as per minute or one-off fees.
This is a pretty cool new feature, dont ya think 😉
Of course, Skype already comes with tons of cool features and add-on options. Including neat gadgets, like bluetooth and voicemail and wifi phone packages. Mine even came with a cute canadian copywriter... but I'm not sure if that's standard on all downloads.

Have a great day!

Huh?
LOL I take it you didnt get one of those 😛
Hi Lynn
Skype Prime is cool if you don't mind waiting 4 months to get your pay, and willing to shed 30% of what you make.
You are correct that Skype comes with a ton on cool things one of them is called BitWine Extra.
You find it under Tools, Do More, Get Extras, Featured Extras.
It does the same but YOU GET PAID INSTANTLY, and we do charge NO COMMISSION. Plus you get to create a nice web page with your profile and rankings and even a You-Tube video link.
You can put your Personal BitWine Call Me widget on your Blog to get people to call, but even more you can get a revenue share if you put our Widget for Websites (available to web site owners) on your web-page as well.
Enjoy

Thank you so much for the clarification, Alon! Obviously BitWine sounds like a MUCH better option 😉
Best,
