New Year. New Adminstration. New Ideas @ Channelfuse
That’s right. Channelfuse has had a change in the top administration. On New Year’s day, this network of forums received substantial funding and infrastructure support from one of the leading Venture Capitalist Groups in Asia. Without divulging much information, we would like to assure all the members and interested parties that this turn of events does not mean that we will change the mission statement of this network, which focused on how the forum members need to be given top priority, and the need to build the forums into a community, rather than a business. It is this reason why we have researched thoroughly for the past many weeks, and will be communicating with each and every member to share their ideas and opinions. Below are the some of the answers you might already be seeking -
1- Will Channelfuse turn into a money-making venture for a corporation ?
Ans – The primary purpose will be to develop the individual site (and the network in collective) into high-value online assets. The idea will be to attain self-sustainability in the shortest period of time, as well as setting up a system where the entire network works as a well-oiled machine. The burden of generating revenue will NEVER fall on the members, and ALL the forums will be free and run by volunteers and members themselves.
2- What will be the immediate tasks and role for the new administration ?
Ans- What we realized at Channelfuse is – it’s a wonderful idea only if implemented well. The major problems arise due to – lack of communication , lack of funding, lack of technical support and delays caused due to any of these listed reasons. We hope to plug all these issues as soon as possible. Channelfuse will have it’s own back-end development center with tech support available 24/7 . We will have 3 top designers, 3 coders, 3 marketing/SEO experts , 1 Senior Community Manager and 1 Project Manager.
The entire office is being set-up at this very moment, and we shall be fully operational from mid-March. Meanwhile, we will communicate with all the volunteer staff and members on the sites and discuss and plan on how to take the communities to the next level.
3- Will you be selling any site ?
Ans- We’re merely the custodian of these communities, not the ‘owner’. The site truly belong to the members, and not us. So, no. Selling any site is totally out of the question.
4- Will you be acquiring any site ?
Ans- Yes. Although we are yet to target any specific site for acquisition, we’ll set up a team that will help us acquire the best suited community to join our network.
5- Will Amit be involved in the network ?
Ans- Yes. Since the network was his idea, we would require his input and experience at the network’s disposal. He will act as a liaison in the initial few months, before he moves higher up into the management team.
6- What happens to the existing volunteers (admins and moderators) ?
Ans- Once we establish contact with them and initiate daily communication, we will be better placed to assist them manage the community. We have no plans to change the structure or designation of the volunteers on any site.
