What inspired you to launch your own website?
My husband, William, and I are very interested in Dreams and their meanings and we also own a web site design company so it made sense to launch a web site about something we loved and were knowledgeable about.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
Our first web site that we created together was launched in January of 2003. It was a reference site for role playing card games called cardtroll.com. We no longer run that site.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
We did a lot of searching when we bought our domain name to see what was available. Dream-psychic.com was available and close to our target.
What makes it different from other, similar offerings?
Probably the shear amount of reference material we have. We have over 10,000 dream meanings listed alphabetically. We also write original content about our own experiences and tips on improving your dreaming.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
Our eventual goal is to continue running Dream Psychic and establish a large user base of regular contributers so the community thrives and learns.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
This particular web site isn't really about making money it's just to educated others on something that we are passionate about so I think that the small amount of money, and the large amount of time pay off very well.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
I'm not sure there is anything that I would change. Perhaps we would advertise the site more.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Yes.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
One of the reference materials we used for our website was written long ago and much of it would be considered extremely politically incorrect today so that had to be fixed.
What has been your biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge was finding a quick way to catalog 10,000 different entries. William wrote a script to do this and it went pretty smooth after that.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Networking with other bloggers.
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?
It's been live only for about a month and we plan on keeping it indefinitely.
