Please give us a short summary of your website?
My website has tons of cool stuff that Club Penguin gamers would be interested in. It includes club penguin cheats, secrets, hacks, news, glitches, etc. It is very useful to people who really like Club Penguin. It is also a very good way to meet other people who like Club Penguin.
What inspired you to launch your own website?
I wanted to meet new people that liked Club Penguin too!
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
I first launched my website on January 4, 2007. It was a website about Club Penguin back then too. It was, and still is, a wordpress blog.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
I wanted to have a name that would speak for itself. It would make it easier for people to find my blog if I just made the name "Club Penguin Cheats".
What makes it different from other, similar offerings?
The people at my blog have all become good friends and we have other clubs and groups that other blogs don't have. It's a lot more fun than most blogs where you just go there to get news and leave.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
I am not sure yet. I just hope that maybe one day the friends I've made on this blog will get to meet each other and become real-life friends. That would be very cool. I'm not in it for money, it's a non-profit. Just visitors and new people is good enough for me.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
In all my time of making the blog and running it I never spent a dime. And time? I have all the time in the world. It's nice to have something to do when no one is around and you're bored.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
I would get my blog to be the first thing up there on the google search results so that tons more people would visit.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
I'm absolutely sure of it.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
None. It's all been fun.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Making the site look nice and having cool stuff on it.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
People just seem to find it somehow. Usually it's going around and getting to know other Club Penguin gamers from other blogs. The word spreads.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
I didn't have expectations. I wanted it to be good, but I didn't know how good it was going to be. I would like it to be more popular and famous, and that's why I'm advertising. But it's still good as it is now.
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?
I've been running it for about a year. If it got really popular, I would be overjoyed! I wouldn't stop running it for years to come.
Do you hope that your website becomes hugely popular?
YES!
