Please give us a short summary of your website?
The mission of Living Well By Michelle is to provide the education, guidance, and support necessary to empower our clients to achieve their health and wellness goals. Living Well By Michelle focuses on the whole person- body, mind, and spirit. Living Well By Michelle is based on the belief that once an individual understands the effects that their dietary and lifestyle choices have on their bodies, they can make better choices to improve their overall health and wellness. As you start to feel better, these habits have a natural tendency to take hold and ease out the less healthy ones.
What makes it different from other, similar offerings?
I am a small business owner who maintains the website on my own. I offer individual attention to all my clients. Not only do I provide information about the serivces I offer I also offer free information about the benefits of yoga, how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, why eating organic foods are important, etc.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
My goal is to keep this website and update the content to provide updated information to all to enjoy. I hope to share my love for yoga and wellness with people in the hopes of helping them improve their overall health and wellbeing.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
At Living Well By Michelle we promote living a healthy life style and we believe in what we are doing. Our positive energy comes from working together with our clients, a single log will soon peter out if ignited, but many logs burning together will make a wonderful fire. No one would deny that our passion level is very high. But it stays high because of the company we keep and the results that we see. Unlike other yoga studios, Living Well by Michelle is not in the business of exercise and breathing only. We are in the Client Service business. Most of our business comes from referrals. Satisfied clients create more clients. The very best way to grow a business. Also a pretty good measure that what we are doing is right on. Our success is built on the premise that there are two elements of success: aspiration and perspiration. We work hard and long to make sure you our clients get a great return on your time and effort.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
Yes I would upgrade to a more professional site perhaps hire a web designer.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Yes. I am able to work on the site daily.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
Broken links and servers going down unexpectedly.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Constantly revising the content to ensure mass appeal.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Word of mouth from satisfied customers.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
I had no expectations when I started this venture I just wanted to pursue my passion for yoga and nutrition. Again broken links and fickle servers cannot be avoided.
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?
I started the site in early 2007. I plan to continue the site as long as my business remains open, which hopefully will be for a long time.
