1. How did you start your online business?
It started as a hobby. Brad and I were unhappy with some of the existing services on the net, and we knew we could do a better job. We started with a guestbook and a counter and Bravenet grew from there.

2. How does your business help webmasters?
The Web Tools we provide help webmasters to turn their sites into interesting and interactive places for their visitors. The interactive components we provide not only improve web sites, but also help to increase traffic. Message boards, greeting cards, announcers, chat rooms, and other services all help to keep visitors coming back as well as help bring new visitors to each site.

3. How did you go about promoting your web site?
Generally, Bravenet promotes itself. The members use the services, the visitors see the services, and in turn they come to register. In addition, we offer a great affiliate program for webmasters who want to make a little money by referring people to Bravenet.

4. When did you start your business?
We started in September of 1997.

5. How has your business grown?
It has grown unbelievably huge. We now have over 500,000 registered members using over a million services.

6. Do you have any tips for webmasters?
Don't let your site get boring... add interactive tools :)

7. Do you have any other comments?
We've seen a lot happen on the Internet, and we've been improving our products every day. We always welcome feedback and promote discussion about what new services are needed, or what existing services need upgrading. Our business has grown considerably because of the "personal" touch. We always respond to every email, and we listen to the members. That's key to any online venture.
