The service, which is available as apart of the company's latest version of Skype, Skype 3.1 for Windows, is a new marketplace which brings together those people who have expertise or knowledge to sell with others who are seeking advice and happy to pay for it.
Giving millions of people and small businesses the opportunity to charge for their expertise, Skype Prime is a new direction for the company.
Skype Prime offers Skype users the chance to make money and reach potential customers all over the world provided they are using Skype 3.1 for Windows.
