What inspired you to launch your own website?
My father told me, if you want to be successful in life take an idea or create an idea, and set a mind and focus and you shall be successful. Well in this scenario I have taken an idea, and made it into website.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
This is my first website, I have 2 more along the way hopefully thing will start rolling. I launched this website last year summer of 2006.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
I did some research on the product, and tried to register some domain names, but they all seem to be taken. Then I came across the word "kinetic" kinetic means a movement, and I took the word picture. Made into one, and there you have it Kinetic picture! :)
What makes it different from other, similar offerings?
What makes our website and product offering different, is we offer lowest price in the industry for the product, research it yourself and you will see. We offer free shipping, no tax, and insurance is included with each shipment. Also, we are working on a live video where viewers can get to see how these pictures work in real time.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
My goal is to build a foundation, keep this for income this is just a beginning for new era in the home decor shopping industry, once my both websites are done, starting January 2008 I plan on opening a web-store every month. So by end of 2008, I plan on opening 12 more e-commerce stores.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
Right now I am one man show, I am doing everything myself along with finishing up my university my major is business/Information systems. I turned 24 this year. I do the emails,phone calls, picking up material, packaging, accounting, everything :). I work out of my home right now, I must keep my overhead cost low, but eventually my goal by next summer is to have an office location, maybe hire someone by then. This is how I am saving money right now, I have the concepts and right approach, it is just matter of time.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
That is a really good question, well I would not change my site I would develop websites one after another, I am talking 4-5 websites per month.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Yes I would, reason for that is I have the business channel set up I have the capability to supply, if the demand is high. But, I wish I got big this quickly :)
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
Web designer / programmer, has been headache for first year. Trying understand them, work with them, always fixing issues, but now everything is running smoothly.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Marketing, I am still working on I rank # 6 on google now for 1 my main keywords "waterfall picture" but I have a lot to learn.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Organic Search has been my best pay off, I studied nights spent countless hours, it's like studying for an exam at school. I must get an "A" I must pass, I must beat my competition no matter what it takes. That is my focus, and hopefully I can keep this will and drive going.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
It has been great, I love it people are very friendly and nice, sometimes we do have problems, and our customers are understandable it's great to deal with people who can be on same page.
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?
This is my second year, first year was a test, understanding and reading, not sure what I was doing this year starting June was date where sales started picking up. Officially the website was launched last year, and yes I continue to keep it up.
What is my goal in life?
I want to be successful, I want to make every customer happy as if I were shopping from my own websites, no matter at the end the main key thing in any industry any business is , "customer satisfaction" why? because they will be yours for life.
