Please give us a short summary of your website?

What inspired you to launch your own website?

When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
I first launched my website earlier this year to allow people to search for my services.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
I used the name of my training/teaching business as that is the focus of the website.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
It is more than an electronic business card, it allows for interaction and people not riding under me to help/ask questions in a friendly forum environment.

Getting people to my site as it is very new.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?

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 have had it for less than a year and will keep it for the next couple of years at least.
What would you like to happen for your site?
I would like a way to get more traffic to my website and get it available through all search engines.
