Frequently asked questions
Plain answers about building a channel, joining the Agent Network, running your app, and how the money works.
Everything below reflects how the platform works today. Where an older marketing page disagrees with this page, this page and our About page are correct.
The basics
What is Channels.biz?
Channels.biz is an AI platform where you build a channel — a single link — for any person, place, or thing, and monetize it. A channel is a working app rather than a static page: it holds video, articles, a live status board showing your city, time and weather, a local news ticker, a music player, advertising, a storefront, customer ratings, and an AI assistant called Ask B.O.T.
What exactly is a “channel”?
A channel is one shareable link and one QR code that replaces a scattered online presence. Everything your audience needs lives in it, and you own it instead of renting your audience from someone else’s platform.
Who can create a channel?
Anyone. Small businesses, artists and musicians, service professionals, churches and community groups, educators, non-profits, freelancers, events, landmarks, teams, memorials, and causes. A channel can be built for any person, place, or thing.
How do I create a channel?
There are three ways to start, and none of them require coding or design experience. The AI Auto Builder suits public figures and newsworthy subjects — type a name and the AI assembles videos, images, news, social links and a description. The AI Builder suits local businesses and organizations — if your information exists online, the AI finds it and builds the channel. Manual + AI is for anything else — you supply the information and the AI shapes it into a finished channel.
What can I put on my channel?
YouTube, TikTok and Instagram video; live streaming with pay-per-view and on-demand; articles, blog posts and news feeds; image galleries; event calendars and ticketing; maps and directions; contact forms and email capture; product listings and a shopping cart; a music player with a monetized track catalogue; sponsored and house advertising; and Ask B.O.T., your channel’s own AI assistant.
How long does it take to get live?
Minutes, not weeks. You can have your first channel live the same day you start.
Joining the Agent Network
What it costs
How much does it cost to join the Agent Network?
$100. That is one payment, and it includes one ZIP code — the ZIP code of the business address you register with.
What if I need to cover more than one ZIP code?
Each additional ZIP code is $100. You add them yourself from your own app admin, on top of the ZIP that came with your join payment.
Are vendor and affiliate accounts included?
Yes. Both are activated for you automatically as part of joining, because both are required to run a line. You are never asked to apply for them separately.
How do agents earn money?
Agents earn by selling their own products and services through their channel, reselling the platform catalogue through their own affiliate links, referring other agents, running a featured listing, placing their own ad cards, and selling access to events they run. Commissions and payouts are handled by SliceWP, and each agent’s payments are kept separate from every other agent’s.
What is the split when I sell my own products?
When an agent sells their own products through their channel, the agent keeps 85% and the platform takes 15%. That split is configured by the platform and applies consistently to every agent.
What does it cost to advertise on a channel?
Ad cards run for 30 days and are priced by format: $25 for an image card, $75 for a video card, and $150 for an autoplay video card. A featured placement inside Ask B.O.T. is $200. Every one of those prices is set centrally by Channels.biz and can be changed in the admin.
What is a featured listing?
A featured listing places your line in the featured section and marks it as featured. It runs for 30 days and clears itself automatically when the window ends. It is priced centrally at $100.
Do featured vendors take all the work?
No. A featured vendor’s requests route ahead of a standard vendor’s, but every matched vendor is still routed — ranking changes the order, never the roster. Vendors rotate inside each group so the same vendor is not always first, and no vendor gets buried.
How many agent lines are there?
10,000 Level-1 lines in total. Each line represents a category, business, person, or project. Once they are gone, they are gone.
Running your channel
Do I have to come back to the main website to manage my channel?
No. Your channel has its own owner admin built into the app. From there you manage your live board, upload music and set your own listen and download prices, place ads, add products that check out normally, manage your service ZIP codes, review your ratings, and message the platform team directly.
What is My Live Channel?
My Live Channel is your story page and the home of your live board — a daily prayer you control, a local news ticker that follows your ZIP code, birthday greetings, and your music. You decide what runs where: My Live Channel, your app, or both.
What is the live status board?
Every channel carries an always-on status board showing your city, a live clock, local weather, and indicator lights for AI active, agent connected, signed-in status and content availability. Visitors always know what they are looking at.
Where does the news ticker get its news?
From a feed derived automatically from the ZIP code your channel serves, with your own feed or a platform feed as fallbacks. A channel for one city carries that city’s headlines without you configuring anything.
How does the music player work?
A persistent player sits at the top of your app, so your soundtrack keeps playing as visitors move around. Every new channel is seeded with the official Channels theme song, Scan-It, so the player works immediately. You replace it with your own music from your app admin, and visitors can also play a track straight from their own phone with nothing to upload.
Can artists sell their music?
Yes. Artists publish tracks through the platform, listeners get a 30-second preview, and paid listen and download paths run through WooCommerce.
What is Ask B.O.T.?
Ask B.O.T. is the AI assistant built into your channel. It answers visitors, surfaces what you offer, and takes service requests on your behalf.
Can I place my own ads?
Yes. You place ad cards from inside your app admin and target them by ZIP code, region, city, page, or agent. The formats are image, video, and autoplay video, each paid card runs for a 30-day window, and every card is reviewed before it goes live.
Pricing and payments
Where are prices set?
Every price in the Agent Network — the join price, additional ZIP codes, featured listings, ad formats and music — is set centrally in the Channels.biz admin. Owners cannot change a price. Your app shows exactly what the platform set and starts checkout.
Can a price change after I have paid?
No. Changing a price affects new purchases only. It never re-prices or re-charges an agent who has already paid.
Can an individual agent get a different price?
Per-agent price overrides exist, and they are set by the platform admin on an app’s edit screen. Agents never see or control them.
How do I pay?
Checkout runs through WooCommerce, the same way any other purchase on the site works. The price you are charged is the price shown at checkout.
Technical
What does “Web3” mean for my channel?
Content on Channels.biz is stored on Web3 with blockchain-backed verification and secure storage, and the platform is powered by $MCC, its native token, used for transactions, rewards and premium features. Practically, it means you own your channel, your products, your audience and your earnings.
Does my channel work on a phone?
Yes. Channels are built mobile-first, and the top of the app — status board, music player and live board — is designed to fit a phone screen without sideways scrolling.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Your channel is a web app that runs in any browser, and visitors can add it to their home screen directly from the channel.
Does my channel get its own QR code?
Yes. Every channel has a dynamic QR code you can print on a flyer, a menu, a truck, a business card or an event ticket. One scan lands the customer inside your channel, ready to watch, shop, book or follow.
