Ivonne Malaver was the original editor-in-chief but was soon relieved of her position and Sanchez assumed the role himself while hiring experienced editors for each vertical. This translated into a surge in organic traffic and in turn, into more funding for the site, which now had millions of visitors. In 2013, Voxxi stopped publishing health content and instead launched a stand-alone site called Saludify.[9] Saludify.com had a variety of health-related sections including Prevention, Psychology, Fitness, Nutrition, Sexuality, Health news and Children’s Health, among others.[10] Although VOXXI started operation with a healthy number of staff members, including developers, marketing specialists, editors, social media managers and a large pool of writers and contributors, which for many months led to millions of visitors per month and a strong following in social media, Sanchez and Melgen decided to switch gears in 2013 and continue operation with only three people on staff, a handful of interns and a few writers. Site traffic for Voxxi and Saludify quickly and significantly declined.[12] In 2014, Sanchez associated with InteractiveONE[11] in an effort to revert to higher traffic days but the alliance was unsuccessful. As of March 2015, VOXXI and Saludify quietly shut down. Sanchez later admitted in written statement that this was partly due to the failure in building enough traffic to secure revenue.[12] "A lack of funding, erroneous strategy, fierce competition, insufficient web traffic and other market factors have forced the shutdown of VOXXI, three years after its launch," explain Media Moves.[13] External links
