Name of your website?Success University
Your name?
John Broussard
Your Location (city, etc)
Baton Rouge
When did you start your website and why?
I started this website about a month ago in part to earn extra income to support my wife and 6 kids(yes - I'm Catholic)
But as I already have enough material things in life to be perfectly satisfied, I also saw this, and my other online businesses, as a way to help others and use extra income to help them build their businesses. I also like being a cheerleader for people - with six kids I practice a lot - and network marketing allows me to do that. The internet just makes it so much more powerful.
Maybe in a strange way, the internet will ultimately build bridges that have needed to be build for thousands of years.
We shall see.
Please give us a short summary of your website, business model, etc
Success University is a wonderful business opportunity which allows a person to learn success principles in all areas of life, while earning a residual income which may allow them to one day spend their time as they would like, without the stresses of a job which they may just do for the income.
What has been the most difficult part of creating and running your website?
If I were a ditchdigger, miner, farmer, carpenter, or any of a large number of jobs which are incredibly strenuous, I would try to answer that. But this has just been fun, and I feel that if I were to say any part has been difficult, it would show dishonor to those hardworking individuals and look as though I don't realize how blessed I've been in life.
Even in my job as a physical therapist at a facility for the severely mentally retarded, I have been so profoundly blessed with the opportunity to serve these people, that I really don't feel right about saying anything is really difficult.
What has been the easist part of operating your website?
The fun of meeting people via email from various parts of the world.
What was your biggest mistake?
I don't make mistakes - I only have learning experiences.
Who maintains your website and why?
When I joined the Plug in Profit site with Stone Evans - my site is www.absoluteprosperity4u.com/pips.html - they set it all up for me - for FREE! I do have a blog: http://freemillionaireu.com which I maintain on my own. I'm much more of a people person than a technical one. I still wonder how I made it into physical therapy school - When I used to do home health, and would see these lonely people who had difficulty getting out of their houses, my "game show host" type skills served me as well or better than my medical ones :-)
Tell us how your business has benefitted from your website?
I've got numerous websites - my business is just about all internet related. I love this because in addition to increasing my market, it allows me to interact with people from all over the world
What are your views on ecommerce and the future of the internet?
It's just going to get bigger and better. Hopefully, the technology involved will continue to bring more benefits to people of lesser means.
I'm especially fascinated with the "One Laptop per Child" and the "$100 Laptop" projects at the MIT Media Lab. One Laptop per Child, $100 Laptop.
I wasn't blessed with the intelligence to do the incredible work those folks are involved in, but when this business of mine allows, I hope to financially help them, as well as a number of other organizations, as much as I can.
What are your views on Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
I don't really have an informed opinion.
What are your views on Search Engines? Have they helped or hindered your website?
I haven't been in the business long enough to know.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
So far, I've been utilizing Ad Co-ops and Paid to Join services. I wanted to get started quickly while I learn to do it on my own. I'm not at all afraid to outsource wisely when it's needed, if it helps in rapid growth.
What method has been least successful for promoting your website?
I don't think I've gotten any benefit from paid hits - targeted or untargeted.
What would you like to see change with respect to the internet?
Nothing I can think of at the moment. It seems to be an open environment where intelligence and creativity can be rewarded. I do, however, hope the open source movement gains more ground.
