Welcome to Helium's Channel Manager Program
Congratulations! You are now a Helium Channel Manager. You provide community leadership, editorial oversight and make Helium the go-to place on the web for in-depth information on every subject. As a passionate expert you share experience and wisdom and take personal ownership of the quality of your channel. If members need a hand, you will be there.
You now have special tools to use and roles on the site — to write, monitor subject coverage by rating and grading articles in your channel, recruit new writers and promote your channel across the web. In the coming days, members of the Helium Channel Manager Team including your Root Channel Manager and Senior Channel Manager will reach out to you with more information about the program and training you will receive.
In the meantime, please update your About Me bio to inform fellow Helium writers which channel you are managing and promote your expertise in the subject area of that channel.
