We have been working on building the new MinuteBox for a while and it is almost ready. We think it is now the time to reveal the coming changes to our users.
We have spent a lot of effort on the new website and we are very excited about it. If you have any comments or suggestions regarding our upcoming changes, please let us know. We will definitely appreciate them.
The first big change is to our website structure. Currently, you can see various categories on MinuteBox. Our mission is to link seekers of support and advice with people who have the knowledge to solve their problems online, in an instant, easy and cost-efficient manner. However, building expert communities in various fields is 'mission impossible'. So, we came up a strategy to focus our resources, grow our expert community faster, keep the quality of the communities high, and offer better services.
What is our strategy?
We are planning to define MinuteBox as a hub of various marketplaces. Every marketplace is like a sub-website of MinuteBox. It has its own homepage, its expert community and customised functions for users of that particular marketplace. We will launch our Business Network (business.minutebox.com) first. We call the rest of the networks we are planning to launch "Upcoming networks". Our main homepage, www.minutebox.com, will become the gateway page for you to reach our different networks. You can view the upcoming networks there and show your interest in a certain categories.
We are also proactively looking for insiders in different fields to run the networks with us. Using the new partners' input, we will better understand the real needs of each community in terms of our pay-per-chat model, and how best to tailor the service to each comunity.
We have some exciting marketing plans for the new site launch, and we will keep you posted. The new website is planned to launch in mid-November.
