Managing volunteers in startup projects

Involving volunteers is a winning strategy for a startup. But a big question arises – what are specific management and motivation activities for volunteers’.

First, the basic recommendation is that you manage volunteers as employees. If a volunteer takes responsibility for a project (its part) she or he is responsible

Second, motivate with giving transparent perspective of the project and potential volunteer’s involvement. It helps a volunteer to align his/her plans with your project. And for startup founders it provides more predictability – if a volunteer goes to leave a project he/she can notify in advance.

Third, agree on schedule in advance, at least a month ahead. For example, a volunteer is ready to be involved 10 hours per week.

Description: Being a hoster has been a phenomenal business model for many years. The concept was easy: You built a datacenter in your own building or rented colocation space elsewhere, and then you bought hardware and expanded as needed. It was a simple way to earn good money when you did it right with a structured, industrial approach. But times are changing and by becoming a Virtual Hoster you can once again create success and grow your revenue and bottom line profits.
