What inspired you to launch your own website?
I have worked for a long time with herbal crafts, gardening, growing herbs and cooking with herbs and wanted to share my knowledge and expertise.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
It was a small site on ecrater, selling used stuff and vintage collectibles.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
It just came to me and I liked it.
What makes it different from other, similar offerings?
I give detailed recipes and instructions, allowing my readers to work along with me.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
To use the site to launch a line of ebooks I'm currently introducing.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
I have spent way more of everything than I have gotten back. However, joy counts for something.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
