What inspired you to launch your own website?

When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
It was a motivational type website... it thankfully died a quick death!
How did you decide on a name for your website?

What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?

What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
The goal is to grow it out to offer many more products
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
It balances well.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
I don't believe I'd change too much if I had an unlimited development budget. Not having one makes me search for low cost effective marketing techniques a little more diligently.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
If site got big, yes I would be able to keep up with demand since I'm installing business processes as I go... and these can be outsourced.

Too many to mention... it's part of business, yes?

Creating an effective marketing plan

Article Marketing, Listing in Directory and Viral Marketing
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
It's about what I expected...
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 months... am looking at operating it long term
Replace this with a question of your own
Thank You!
