Please give us a short summary of your website?

This website is being built with content, giving expats information about what they can expect when they come to settle outside of their won country. It is currently being built with content for the USA, but will have content for many other countries slowly.

What inspired you to launch your own website?

We faced many issues when we moved to the USA and thought that people could use some help from our experiences. Similarly, we will have others write from theor eperiences in other countries.

When did you launch your first website, and what was it?

April 12th, 2008

How did you decide on a name for your website?

It was for people who dreamed of going out of their country and settle, therefore, dreamzfulfilled.com seemed a good name.

What makes it different from other, similar offerings?

I do not see any other similar offering on the web. There are multitudes of expat blogs and all, but there is no ready-reckoner that gives a step by step blow of what should be done to settle in.

Keep it for income.

Yes.

What has been your biggest challenge?

Content and getting people tp visit the site.

Writing meaningful comments in blogs and forums and providing site links in the signatures.

How has running your website differed from your expectations?

Getting people to the site has been very very challenging.

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?

5 days and will keep it forever.
