We all know, love, and follow ridiculously fab dogs on social media - but how does your own fame-worthy pup reach influencer status? This week Michelle Fern welcomes Loni Edwards, the human behind some of the world's most influential pets, and founder of The Dog Agency and PetCon. She breaks down the essential steps to furry fame in her first book, How to Make Your Dog #Famous: A Guide to Social Media and Beyond. EPISODE NOTES: How To Make Your Dog #Famous
How many of us dream about having a dog-friendly workplace where every day is bring-your-dog-to-work day? Social media and the rise of niche pet businesses is making that dream a reality for many. Pet Influencers Your dog might have what it takes to be a social media star. The real question is, do you? Creating and running a pet influencer account is a time-consuming endeavor but the payout and chance to work with your dog may be worth it. And like many human celebrities, having a talent agent might help. For this segment we travel to Australia to meet some Insta-famous Brussels Griffon pooches. Petpreneurs If you're ready to embark on a new business venture, why not match your love of dogs with that great skill or that great idea? Do you bake? Maybe you could try making gourmet dog treats. Perhaps you can sew. Canine couture might be for you. Pet photographers, dog walkers, dog sitters, or being a social media pet influencer. There's no end to ideas for pet businesses, especially since the boom in pandemic puppy adoptions. Our guests today share the joys of owning and operating a pet business. But this is also a cautionary tale – being a petpreneur is harder than it seems. The Hydrant Jim, Pam, and Caroline stop by the hydrant to sniff out the latest dog gossip, innuendo, @jokes, and notes. Susanne Nicholls Being Insta-famous was not on Susanne Nicholls radar when she posted that first snap of a frowning Squid, her Brussels Griffon, when he was just a few months old. The Adelaide ‘dog mum' started the Instagram page to share photos with family in the UK, but fast-forward four years and ‘Squid the Griff' is one of the hottest things on four legs. Together with younger brother Pretzel (also a Brussels Griffon) the pair have almost 400,000 followers, their own calendar, a range of merchandise, brand deals and are sought after for cameo photos. Susanne says while being a pet influencer does earn her some extra money, which goes towards good food and treats for the boys, it isn't enough for her to give her up full time job. But she says, the page is definitely less about influence and more about making people and her pooches happy. https://www.instagram.com/squidthegriff/?hl=en Loni Edwards After graduating from Harvard Law School and a brief passage in the legal world, Loni Edwards moved to NYC and got an adorable French Bulldog named Chloe, who's smile and photogenic personality quickly drew a large following from around the world and she became one of the first pet influencers.
