Please give us a short summary of your website?
Auto Deals 4 Less is a Los Angeles auto broker website that provides new car buying and leasing services free of charge. Save time and money!
What inspired you to launch your own website?
With 20 years experience in the Automotive Industry I decided it was time to help people to save money buying their dream car. Everyone wants to get an auto deal for less than what their friends paid. That is why I decided to start my own auto brokerage in Los Angeles areas.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
I launched my first website in the begining of June 2009 and it was a very basic begining for the Auto Deals 4 Less Auo Brokerage.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
I wanted something that was easy to remember, represented my main goal of the company and of course it had to have availability.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
To be honest all I can say is I have been doing this (ie: helping people buy cars) for over 20 years but I always worked for someone else. So I decided that with all the people who have followed me wherever I went for my friendly, honest service that it was time to be able to help them with any make or model not just what one dealer offered.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
My goal is to have a successful business for many years to come.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
I have always been a hard working person and it always helped me succeed at any dealership so now I am going to do it for me!
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
Well of course better design, bigger office, more services offered (to be a fully licensed retail dealer), but this is my goal as business grows.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Of course as I could always hire help.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
The biggest headache is what it takes to get everything approved by DMV, from license to reseller permits to having a location zoned and approved by the city planning department.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Trying to get this all up and running in less than a month.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
I don't know yet I am just starting out.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
I have worked for a website design company before (automotive websites) so I had some knowledge but not as much as I have learned in a shorttime doing this new business website.
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?
Well I have the domain for 5 years and I hope I can continue in my business even if it is only for extra income till I retire and that is still 20 or more years away.
Why use my car buying service?
I don't want to sell you just one car or truck. My goal is to make your car-buying experience as easy and as pleasant as possible. I want you to be so impressed that not only will you come back to buy all of your cars in the future, but you will also want to refer your coworkers, friends and family to us as well.
