I launched my startup yesterday and got 7 paying customers on day 1

Yesterday I launched my startup called mently.cc that connects teachers with students on a personalized level instead of just providing courses. Those services are relevant to tech for now like mentorship, code reviews, guide to open source contribution, workshop etc.

People liked this idea, I got many likes and 7 students agreed to take the services because I asked them in the form about their details and the amount that they want to pay.

I was not expecting this but they only wanted to pay $10 for each of the service .

Even if I take 20% cut of the total amount, who is gonna teach for $8.

Currently there are no teachers added to my website, and price is also not set for each of the teacher because I thought that teachers can be easily found if the students are willing to pay but the students want to pay nuts.

What should be my strategy to attract high paying students instead of just attracting the broke ones or should I flip the business idea and target the businesses for these kinds of trainings but now the question arises, will the businesses pay for these kinds of personalized solutions.

Thank you!
