The Return of YourSensei.com

Posted by Beau on Sep 27 2008 | YourSensei.com

An exciting new marketing partnership between Axiom and WinCubic, the operators of the most highly trafficked and popular Japanese site in Hawaii, aloha-street.com, is in the works.

Background of YourSensei.com

Basically, YourSensei.com allows Japanese students, tourists, expatriates, etc. to search for local English tutors in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.  Once a student finds a suitable tutor, they can order their contact details from the website.  There are two sides or ‘faces’ of the site – the Japanese side and the English side.

Read more about the YourSensei.com story in an article from the University of Hawaii student paper.  A correction, though … we didn’t only help design the site … we conceived, designed, marketed, and otherwise brought the site from a drunken idea to where it’s at now.

But the site has been badly neglected for over two years…. basically, ZERO updates have been made to the site, marketing efforts have been at a minimum, and since our host has recently updated their servers, bugs and glitches have run rampant on the site.

Goals of our partnership with WinCubic include:

  • Fixing what’s currently broken
  • Marketing the Japanese-side of the site extensively using online and offline mediums
  • Redeveloping and adding attractive content
  • Developing new streams of revenue from both sides of the site
  • etc.

I am extremely stoked about what’s happening with YourSensei.  It is highly in keeping with our new strategic direction at Axiom of focusing heavily on building and monetizing our own sites.

Plus, it’s my baby and I’m eager to see it finally grow up.
