If youโ€™d like to learn different ways to promote your pet business that wonโ€™t cost you a penny you might like to join in the Empowered Petpreneur Series.

Itโ€™s taking place online over five days next week – July 15-19th. Each day there are fourย  seminars that you can watch online for free.

The series is hosted by Mikaela Samuels, a pet business coach in America and as part of it she asked me to share ways to get media coverage.

There are 20 seminars in total and they cover branding, time management, price, work life balance, website building, Facebook ads, e mail marketing, blogging, Pinterest and much much more.

Day 1 is Setting The Foundations

Day 2 is Building a Sustainable Brand and Business

Day 3 is Growing Your Exposure and Online Prescence

Day 4 is Marketing Platforms and Strategy

Day 5 is Expanding your Business Potential

Iโ€™m speaking on Day 3 – Getting Your Name Out There – Publicity Tips for your Pet Business which Iโ€™m really excited about.

I’ll be talking about how to win media coverage for your pet business

You can get a preview of the talk in this guest blog I did for Mikaela here.

Ten steps to winning media coverage for your pet business.ย 

When Mikaela contacted me I was flattered to be asked to take part, and being nosey, I had a look at her story and background.

It was her logo that jumped out at me, a cheeky terrierโ€™s face and when I read her webpage, well, I was in bits.ย 

Mikaela and Maggie who inspired her business

She lost her dog Maggie, a terrier who she grew up with as her family dog in February 2018, just two months after setting up her business.

Mikaela said: โ€œMaggie helped me become the person I am today. She helped me find a life surrounded by doggies – professionally and personally.ย 

โ€œShe greeted meย every morning with the fervour for life – a readiness to live andย stretch her legs and pull on her leash and fetch her tennis ball and eat all the food possible.ย 

โ€œHer legacy will continue on throughout the rest of my life. That I know. I willย continue to strive and live in her honour – go outside more, eat awesome food, be as excited about life as she was, and be as loving and good and happy.

โ€œEvery time I look at my logo and see her face, I will look at it with appreciation, love,ย and happiness, and thank her for inspiring me to start a business I love.โ€

Having been there myself and knowing how tough it is carrying on with a blog when you have lost a dog, I knew weโ€™d get on and that I wanted to work with her.

I wrote words so similar when I lost my dog Daisy, who inspired me to set up my pet blog and sent my career on a different path, writing about the pet world.

Now Mikaela has welcomed another dog into her heart. This is her with adorable Wilson, another terrier.

So, if you like me, then I think youโ€™ll like what Mikaela has to offer.

She explained: โ€œWhile working with pretty much all of my clients, one of the biggest issues that pops up is finding the time to do the many things we need to do in our businesses.

โ€œThe overwhelm and burnout in the pet industry is all too real, and as entrepreneurs OR petpreneurs, it can become too much. I totally get it and Iโ€™ve been there.

โ€œAnd I wanted to find a way to help and focus in on ways pet entrepreneurs could grow their businessed WHILE supporting a sustainable and balanced life.

โ€œSo, I reached out to the experts and interviewed 20 pet industry professionals and online entrepreneurs.

โ€œTheyโ€™re sharing their best tips for growing a pet business in a way that promotes ease, work/life balance, confidence, and profitability.โ€

Experts on the line up include Kristin Morrison, J. Nichole Smith, Veronica Boutelle, Tori Mistick, Kate McQuillan, and many more.
