WHO ARE WE?

TechChallenger is an online forum designed to act as an online platform where students and faculty can interact with each other

As it is yet to become public, let’s take a look at namepros.com, an already established forum on the web

TechChallenger is similar to namepros.com in several aspects, so the following lookup will help a great deal in learning about TechChallenger

The NamePros website: The dashboard on the upper panel displays the subsections like forums, news, blogs and more

NamePros

• It’s a community for domainers where they can discuss domain name selling and a bunch of other domain related news and ideas with each other

• People join the forum, discuss domain related queries, and gain several perks as they keep on contributing with insightful comments and solutions, with the passage of time

• The lowest level is the NEW MEMBER level, whereas the highest level is the BUSINESS ACCOUNT

Let’s take a quick look at both levels

It is clear that the highest level has its fair share of perks

Such type of benefits can be integrated to the students’ accounts in TC Forums, like a sample shown below:

These perks encourage students to participate in the forum more and provide useful suggestions and discussion topics

Thus we took a glimpse at the working of TC with the aid of Namepros Now we’ll see the difference between TC and NamePros.. These 2 are the major differences between TC and NamePros Other than these, both sites serve the same purpose of spreading knowledge via constructive and healthy discussion

NamePros TechChallenger

Aims to serve Domainers Aims to serve students to enhance their technical

knowhow

Interaction between domainers Interaction between students and faculties

Potential in Indian market This kind of forum help the students in more ways than one The ultimate aim of the forum is student welfare Consider a very basic situation:

o A student is preparing a report on say the theory of relativity

o He’ll put the query on the forum and ask suggestions from fellow students and faculties to prepare

a nice report full of daily references and solid facts

o He’ll get responses in a wide range, including historical references, modern views and someone

may even direct him to the youtube link of Interstellar!

o He’ll end up making a detailed report which would be a blend of ideas, views and facts from different people who share the same field of expertise

WHAT ABOUT THE TRAFFIC?

• How will we generate traffic to the forum?

• We have planned to visit several institutes specializing in technical education, in the city as well as outside the city

• Couple that with the campaigns we’ll organize, both online and offline, spreading awareness among the students

5/29/2015

• We’ll encourage the faculties of those institutes to join the forums and actively participate in the discussions, explaining the benefit the students will derive from their involvement

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES

The outcomes of having ample traffic on the forums:

• Regular discussions among students and faculties

• Development of students on various grounds

• Well groomed/ knowledgeable students for recruiters

• Blogs posted by faculties as well as fellow students would help the students a great deal in learning topics they would have never come across otherwise

WHAT DO WE GAIN?

As the portal grows further, it’ll have a good amount of faculties, students and even IT industry professionals

As the maximun traffic will be the student community, here is where we can generate revenues for the forum….

ONLINE TEST SERIES

The fee from these tests will garner revenue for the forum, at the same time act as funds for future tests and their marketing

CONCLUSION

Continuous interaction may help them overcome their shyness
