Tips for doggy parents looking to turn their doggies into influencers:

1. Connect with brands you LOVE. Don’t connect simply because you know a particular brand has worked with influencers in the past
2. Start out by taking images that make your doggy look adorable and the brand shine. You may need to do a lot of images gratis before the brand you’re trying to reach, reaches out
3. If you have your heart set on representing a particular dog food or dog toy brand, don’t share images of a different food or toy brand. Stay consistent in showing your love of a particular brand or location or toy.
4. Build your following before you approach a brand. Ask yourself this: Why would a brand follow me if I only have five followers and no meaningful interactions? Chances are, they won’t. Build your following and interact with them so they will be more inclined to comment on and share your posts.
5. Be engaging and authentic. Remember, don’t put your doggy in a position that a brand or another doggy lover would take offense at, question the safety of your pet or other questionable actions. Be mindful of what you post and whom you’re endorsing with your posts
