What inspired you to launch your own website?
Economics and current marketing strategies. Yellowpages are on the way out as more people search the internet and for any business, especially small business, it is imerative to have an internet exposure.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
Being an avid computer user, I learned everything I could about html programing and codes. My first website, my business website, was uploaded about 10-yrs ago and continually updated and upgraded.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
Very easy, the name of my business.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
I think its more personal, simple and "user friendly". I stay out of flashy and unfriendly websites, pop-ups and forced marketing, so my site reflects my attitude of the internet use.
What is your eventual goal?
Keep generating clients to provide my services.
Do you think that your website is a success?
At the current level I think that it is very successful.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
I would secure my own domain name and pay for advertising to increase my search rankings.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Probably not.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
Not much, my marketing money is zero as I try to use all available links that are FREE.
What has been your biggest challenge?
To sell my product, the business services I offer.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Submit to all free submission sites as possible.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
Anyone that is starting their own website must first develop a Plan. Then follow through. Don't listen to the strategies that don't follow your plan. There are a lot of dead websites that owners started but never updated or nurtured it.
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
Big does not neccessarily means best. The "gloom" of current US economy requires me to spend more time in promoting my website in order to survive, so I am spending a lot more time adverising my site.
What do you see for the future of internet marketing?
Cell phone advertising. As more people use cell phones, land lines will become absolete, wireless communications will take over and instant advertising on your cell phone will be the next big adventure!
