Can Blogging About Pets Become a $10,000 a Month Business?

Filed Under Pet Business Opportunity | Leave a Comment

With demand for pet products growing the potential of starting a blog about pets is huge.  If your blog solves a problem for which pet owners are looking for a solution then you will attract a loyal readership, and you can market related pet products as an affiliate and make commissions on each sale. 

A great example of this is the blog Raise a Green Dog that is written by Leslie May of Pawsible Marketing.  At her blog Leslie weaves in product promotions with evironmentally friendly dog tips.  The trick is to target you blog to a very specific target audience with a specific problem or need and promote related products. 

If you have ever wondered how someone makes a six-figure income online using a blog, I have a video you just HAVE to watch.  I have followed an Australian called Yaro since I started this blog at Working with Pets. His advice has helped me a great deal with set up, content ideas, and getting Google rankings.  The best thing is that his blog advice can be applied to any industry.

Yaro has just released a free video which will show you how you can set up and market a blog where you sell pet products and earn money without carrying inventory.

Here’s the link:  Click here to watch the video Using his blog, Yaro generates a steady $10,000 to $20,000 each and every month. 

His system is not your usual story of using a blog and sticking AdSense on it - he’s taken a much more BUSINESS focused approach.

He calls his system “Conversion Blogging” because it combines a blog with an email list to
create consistent income. 

Inside the video you will learn -

- Why blogs are the only Web 2.0 marketing tool you will ever need 

- Exactly how Yaro uses his blog to build a MASSIVE email list 

- How just a blog can turn you into the No. 1 authority in your market 

- What methods Yaro uses to translate his blog into a steady cash-flow stream 

- How you can replicate Yaro’s methods using just one blog and get started in minutes

I loved this video because it’s not full of marketing hype, just a very down to earth and
practical presentation.

I guarantee you will enjoy this and learn something too.

Start a Pet Gift Baskets Business

Filed Under Pet Business Opportunity, Pet Business Tips | 2 Comments

Pet Gift BasketsGift baskets for special occasion gifts are very popular. We always buy gift baskets with gourmet foods and other treats for family that lives out of town for Birthdays, Christmas, and Mothers Day. It’s something that easy to order and always appreciated!

As pet owners spend more money pampering their pets they are purchasing more special gifts for their furry family too. With so many great treats, shampoos, toys, clothing, and accessories now available for pets it is easy to start a business making pet gift baskets by mixing these products together to make an attractive basket that pet owners will love.

Birthdays and Christmas are obvious pet gift basket sales opportunities but you could also put together themed baskets for St Patrick’s Day, Valentines Day, and as welcome home gifts for families with a new puppy or kitten. You could also market baskets by product theme. For example you could make a super grooming basket, all natural treat basket, travel basket, toy basket, or pet loss gift basket. Or why not put together baskets specialized with products for a particular breed. You could even provide a catalog of products to choose from so that customers can custom make their own unique basket.

Pet baskets could be marketed to pet lovers by placing displays with your business cards in local pet stores, grooming salons, doggie day care facilities, or boarding facilities. You could also sell them on the web via a website or at a chamber of commerce location. Think of some of the places pet owners go to spoil their pets and you have found your perfect market.

Pet gift baskets also make great items for pet businesses to donate to silent auction events and raffles to promote their business. Why not promote them to local pet business owners too!

All you need to make a great basket is the basket itself, some filler to place inside the basket, a cellophane shrink bag, and a decorative finish. Most large craft stores such as Hobby Lobby or Michaels stock these items and you can also buy them wholesale online.

You need to make sure you price your baskets to cover labor, supplies and the items in the basket. A good rule of thumb is to price the basket at twice the cost of the items that you put into the basket.

Gift Basket Wholesale Supply is a great resource for articles about the gift basket business and crafty ideas to make baskets look great. They even offer a free course about making baskets at their site. If you do a Google search on gift baskets you will find many more websites offering advice about the gift basket business.

If you already own a grooming salon, pet sitting business, pet store, dog day care, or boarding facility, pet gift baskets could be a great seasonal profit boost. You can offer these to your clients just by displaying samples in your store to generate conversation.

For more pet business ideas make sure you subscribe to receive blog updates . Just fill out your name and email in the box at the top of the left column of the blog to make sure you never miss a post. We’ll send you a weekly email update.

How to Become a Dog Trainer without Quitting Your Day Job

Filed Under Pet Business Opportunity, Pet Business Tips | 4 Comments

Dog on LeashAre you interested starting your own pet business as a professional dog trainer? Wondering how you can get the training you need without giving up your day job income?

Today I found an interesting topic on the Off Lead Discussion board that gave reviews about the at home study / instructor mentored program offered by the Animal Behavior College (ABC). Their program combines an at home study course and exam work combined with hands on instruction and mentoring by an ABC trainer in your area. The course is designed to be completed in a 52 week (1 year) time period and costs significantly less than other available dog trainer certification courses. Their fees vary from $2700-$3500 depending on your choice of payment and financing options.

Their coursework includes the following modules:

Dog learning theory, training tools, basics of teaching obedience, problem solving, safety, public speaking and teaching, and business building.

ABC will help you find a local mentor that will allow to gain experience by observing training sessions and work with dogs on skills that have been learned during coursework under their supervision. This portion can last between 7-21 depending on the regularity of training sessions.

ABC also have a relationship with PETCO stores to provide trainers for their in-store classes and will give you assistance finding work after graduation from their class.

This course receives some great recommendations on the discussion board and also lists many success stories on their own website. As a full time worker myself I see the huge benefits that being able to gain dog trainer certification on a part time basis from home offers.

Dog training can be a full or part time profession and is a business that can be started with very minimal start up costs. All you need is the training tools and some money for marketing. Dog training experience is also a great skill for pet sitters, groomers, and day care owners as they can offer training as an add on to their existing service. I may even consider looking into this myself!

Please share your experience with the ABC course or other experiences as a dog trainer by leaving a comment…
