Please give us a short summary of your website?
HealerLink gives people an easy access to some of the highest certified healers. They practice a fairly little-known but extremely powerful energy healing modality (VortexHealing) that allows deeper-than-usual healing possible, mainly because of three reasons: 1) it being a divine healing modality, it is not limited by the lack of human know-how, 2) it uses a certain "map" that identifies little-known yet major sources for our issues, and 3) the healers are really good.
What inspired you to launch your own website?
Reflecting back on my personal healing process, I found that it was the fact that I was getting help from this level healing professionals that made the biggest difference to my own health and self-knowledge. Knowing that there are people who would die for something like this, I wanted to make it available for a larger, international audience.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
Several years back, about holistic health and healing. infiniteinsights.com
How did you decide on a name for your website?
I wanted to somehow reflect the fact that it links people with healers.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
Healers with the highest available training only. The modality works intimately with divine energy and consciousness which goes directly within the roots of our issues to heal them, whereas other modalities work mainly with spiritual energy that is channeled at something (instead of working from within), which is nice, but doesn't get the divine intimately involved.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
Become a household name for high-level healing and employ 100-200 healers internationally.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
Time-wise, a bit like amazon.com in the beginning. Money-wise, I'm much better off.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
I would hire someone to do website optimization/design for better conversion and customer flow.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Yes, because I have excellent connections to a large number of healers and the setting-of-appointment process is highly automated over the internet.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
Unlearning the advice of some of the most respected marketing gurus as their message is so full of psychological hooks and manipulation - then surrendering to what would come through my heart.
Money-wise, no major unexpected costs.
What has been your biggest challenge?
The continuous need for deeper surrender and writing the webcopy through my heart instead of my mind.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Search engines.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
Somewhat slower than I hoped for. I also spent a good amount of time learning a new format (Joomla). Helping software developers create a better software for my company.
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?
We've been up for business for 1.5 months. I will continue until it is a major success.
If I could start from the beginning, how would I do it different?
I would buy an optimized, commerce ready site in the very beginning and not spend time trying to develop one.
