Wood Carving Machine Tips Interview
Tue/04-Mar-2008 Filed in: News
Hello everyone, I recently did an interview about my website with Workshop-Buynow.com. I thought you might be interested in what was asked and my responses.
Q: What is the name of your website?
A: Wood-Carving-Machine-Tips.com
Q: What is your name?
A: Matt Mattelig
Q: Where are you located (city, etc)
A: Clinton Wisconsin
Q: Could you please give us a short summary of your website?
A: This is a website dedicated to helping the cnc wood carving enthusiast develop their skills and knowledge when working with the CarveWright™ and CompuCarve™ cnc woodworking machines.
Q: What inspired you to launch your own website?
A: I love to work with wood and also with computers. The carvewright™ is a perfect marriage of those two passions. It seemed like a good idea to launch a website that would help other hobbyists develop their skills and provide some solutions as well.
Q: When did you launch your website?
A: On Jan-11, 2008
Q: How did you decide on a name for your website?
A: I wanted something that conveyed the site emphasis.
Q: How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
A: Ha, that's a good question. Given the fact that I'm single, I think I can devote a great deal of effort to this project. In addition, I like what I am doing and have a genuine passion for this subject matter. I hope that my success will follow that passion.
Q: If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
A: I'd like to hire individuals to translate my work into other languages and create sites to address those different speaking visitors.
Q: If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
A: I believe so - in fact I hope so cause I would like to do this as a full time occupation.
Q: What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
A: No unexpected costs so far - however, it's been an incredible amount of work just LEARNING what I have to learn in order to do site development, search engine submission, figuring out how to work with email auto responders.... Things like that. The learning curve is quite big and as I get into this more, I'm finding that the piece I DO know is getting smaller and smaller. LOL
Q: What has been your biggest challenge?
A: TIME management
Q: How has running your website differed from your expectations?
A: None so far.
Q: 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?
A: The site has only been up for a short time, but I plan to keep the site up for as long as people find it useful.
Q: Who is the one person you credit most with your success so far?
A: That would be my good friend Rusty. He has been very instrumental in moving me forward in this project. He is almost as enthusiastic about this as I am. He has a very good way of making sure I keep on task and that I don't wander too far from the goal. He has helped me move forward and steered me in the right direction.
Q: Do you have any last thoughts you would like to leave with your site visitors?
A: That I genuinely appreciate all my visitors and I hope they will let me know if there's anything they would like me to concentrate on. I also ask that they join my free email newsletter and above all - enjoy the site and maybe be patient with me.
