What inspired you to launch your own website?
I have wanted a web site since my daughter passed on. She I and was going to do this together, so this is for her.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
Jan 2008 Clothing site

Cotton is just a cool thing to wear in the summer, so Kool Cotton Kicks
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
I believe I am down to earth about my prices
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
I want to secure a income, something I think I can give to my two grandsons
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
I haven't sold anything yet, just would like to get on the way and do it.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
Oh my, I would build my site into more pages and pay to have my site in Yahool and Goggle. So I would know more people would see it.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
I sure would, that is what I want to happen
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
just learning how to build a site with no help. Learning all of it from books and doing it myself. The time it takes and doing that and holding down a full time job
What has been your biggest challenge?
Finding the time to build the site, and the money to pay for it every month
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
I went onto My Space for the blog, but didn't get many, I think just word of mouth, lots of marketing and still doing all of this
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
It is much harder than I thought it would be
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?
For 5 months, but just up and running for 6 weeks now. I want to keep working at it until I do make it. I think my daughter would want that
Replace this with a question of your own
How can I get Yahoo to pick me up and list me at the top ?
