Please give us a short summary of your website?
Voted as most popular psychic in Vancouver, Maxine specializes in tarot card readings, various divination techniques, tea leaf readings and reiki healing treatments.
What inspired you to launch your own website?
I was getting quite a bit of demand for my services, and wanted to create a one stop shop for my clients and develop some new clients along the way.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
I only just launched May 28th of this year
How did you decide on a name for your website?
I did not want some cheesy psychic name on my website, so I just decided to promote myself and my services.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
The largest difference is that I cater to many high end clients. I guess they like my no nonesense approach to the spiritual perspective.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
I would like for my business to grow so that I can assist as many people as possible. I would like to get my Reiki Master teacher certification and also become a certified life coach. I also would like to earn enough money to donate a substantial amount to The Scleroderma Association of BC.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
I have invested a huge amount of personal time to the development & marketing of my website versus marketing dollars. My background is business development so I feel this has been advantagious to my business.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
I would be all over the internet! I would also create my own organization to raise money for my favorite charity: The Scleroderma Association of BC.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
I could keep up with the demand however, if the demand did not let up, I would scale back on my marketing efforts.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
I have quite a bit of experience in the E marketing sector therefore, I have done quite a bit of free marketing. You don't necessarily have to spend a forturne to generate business-providing that you know your target market and where you can can optimize your exposure. There has been no headaches thus far.
What has been your biggest challenge?
creating my own website!
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Facebook
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
It hasn't really....my website is so new and I know it takes time for the search engines to pick up your site content.
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?
Not long-I only launched last month. I will keep my website up and running for several years. I am not just looking for short term gains but a loyal following & clientele.
