I created my website on weebly.com because I knew it was a simple website creator. I got to choose the theme and the layout of the website and add different pages to it so it would fit my style. I first added text to the website in more a blog style form, the text was about my own experiences in dance because I wanted to give people some background on me. I added links to other pages, such as dance studios, that people could find helpful if they were looking for a place to dance. I added photographs and videos to the page to make it more interesting and to support what I had written. My intended audience for the website was people coming to Michigan State and looking for a place to dance or just interested in dance in general.
The Internet is very new and the whole online commerce industry is just establishing marketing practices that work. Quite frankly, most of the people running businesses online have very poor websites. A lot of people running popular sites are not taking advantage of their traffic by monetizing it (this could be by choice or ignorance). Making a profit may be as simple as implementing a smart AdSense campaign on a popular site after buying it from an owner wishing to move on to other things. Perhaps an e-commerce site could use some search engine marketing or some tweaking to an AdWords campaign might do the trick, or better still, monetize, optimize, affiliate and upsell for maximum gain - make use of all the marketing tricks at your disposal.

Many people have rushed to Internet much like the gold diggers rushed to California in search for the illusive gold that laid hidden in the hills somewhere. People have come to view the Internet almost as a money tree where all they need to do is put up their business site and within weeks they will be making hundreds of thousands of dollars. Nothing could be further from the truth. Much like the siren’s songs in sailors’ legends, consultants, venture capitalists, and others have painted a picture of how the Internet was going to change the world and make everyone who was a part of it rich. A few success stories were all that it took for everyone to jump in and take their stab at it. Now that many dot-coms have crashed and the dust is starting to settle a bit we can take a better look at what has gone wrong with this overly simple and optimistic paradigm.
I am not one to be content with only one interest or hobby. For instance; in the span of one day, I may attend a FCA meeting, teach my choreography to fellow students, attend wrestling practice as a manager, spend time with my sister after completing hours of homework, set out to off-season volleyball practice, and then head back home to plan for the next day. I am passionate about singing and dancing, as well as using it as a source of artistic expression of faith; which I plan to use in pursuing my future. My wide range of interest and hobbies helps assure that I am a well-rounded fortunate individual.
Although my job here at Actel is what pays the bills, my real passion is my hobby.
