While the pandemic may have caused several businesses to step back for a certain period of time, it also helped pave the way for innovations and inventions the world had not realised it needed. One such innovation, called Fancall, was born earlier this year in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
The app proposes to bring the world – the YouTube community, in particular – closer, one video call at a time. It essentially serves to bridge the gap between YouTubers and their viewers by enabling safe, secure, and direct personal video calls between the two. This radical digital platform is the first of its kind in the world and already shows great promise, right from the get-go.
While it may seem like it is a platform meant exclusively for fans, it is, in fact, designed for anyone seeking a direct contact with a YouTuber. We are talking self-learners, fans, students, brands looking for collaborations – everyone. The promise of establishing a smooth, seamless, straightforward channel of communication is a unique one, and has never been explored before. It intends to do away with the hassles of the more traditional channels of communication, which include dropping emails or DMs, and having to deal with a layer of intermediaries, for good.
The simplicity of this proposition is also reflected in the process involved in bringing it into fruition. One need only register on the app, search for their desired YouTube influencer, book a slot from the available ones by compensating them for their time, and wait for their phone to ring on the scheduled time. It is as simple as it sounds. No more endless waits, no more communication lost in translation due to third-party involvement.
Naturally, this brings great promise for YouTube celebrities, too. Not only do they get an opportunity to communicate with their audience, build on the loyalty, and grow their channel organically, but it also helps them translate these conversations into revenue, and fairly quickly, at that. Having been weighed down by disappointing CPC rates, ad revenues, arduous collaboration hunts, and more, YouTubers can now count on Fancall for quick, satisfying results. No gaps between expectations and results.
When asked about the inception of this feat of digital innovation, Mr. Akash Chaudhary, founder and CEO of Fancall, says, “As an avid self learner myself, I remember, during the lockdown, feeling awed by the sheer knowledge available on YouTube for anyone who seeks it, but at the same time found it extremely difficult to get my personal queries answered by these YouTube gurus. There was no quick and direct way to connect with them. This, I thought at the time, was a problem I would give anything to solve. Thus, Fancall was born.”
With the application having been launched on Play Store and App Store on 29th July, 2021, and 3rd August, 2021, respectively, the wheels have officially been set in motion. The world is ready to embrace Fancall.
