Become a PetFluencer!
If you’ve ever dreamed of sharing your furry friend’s adorable antics with the world and maybe even turning it into a side hustle (or full-time gig!), becoming a petfluencer could be the perfect path for you. But where do you start? And how do you actually make it work? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Here’s a beginner-friendly guide to getting started, complete with tangible steps to help you hit the ground running.
Step 1: Define Your Vision
Before you dive into creating content, take a moment to picture your dream petfluencer page. Ask yourself:
- When I have 1M followers, what kind of content am I posting? (Funny videos, training tips, cute pet moments, product reviews?)
- If you don't know, ask yourslef what kind of content do you ENJOY watching?
- What do I want my audience to feel when they see my posts? (Joy, inspiration, education?)
- What goals do I want to accomplish this year? (20,000 followers, $10,000 in brand collaborations?)
This clarity will help shape your content and make your page stand out.
Step 2: Establish Your Content Pillars
Content pillars are the themes or topics you’ll consistently post about. Aim for 3-5 pillars to keep your content diverse yet cohesive. For example:
- Cute or funny moments with your pet
- Pet care tips and tricks
- Product reviews or hauls
- Training or enrichment ideas
- Behind-the-scenes of pet parent life
Having clear pillars makes planning content much easier and helps attract the right audience.
Step 3: Batch Create Content Before You Launch
Before you even create your page, batch create at least 2 weeks’ worth of content. Why? It helps you stay consistent and avoid the pressure of scrambling for ideas when life gets busy.
Here’s how:
- Create 5-10 reels (short-form videos) showcasing your pet.
- Take a mix of high-quality videos (close-ups, action shots, etc.).
Write captions for each post —whether it’s funny, heartfelt, or educational.
Step 4: Choose A Posting Schedule You Can Stick To
Consistency is key! You don’t need to post daily, but you do need to stick to a schedule. A good starting point is:
- 3 reels per week
- 3-5 stories throughout the week
Find a rhythm that works for you and your lifestyle. It’s better to post less frequently and stay consistent than to burn out and give up.
Step 5: Start Engaging with Your Community
Building a following isn’t just about posting content; it’s about building relationships.
- Engage with other petfluencers: Comment on their posts, share their content, and build genuine connections.
- Reply to every comment and DM: Make your followers feel valued and appreciated.
- Use relevant hashtags: Start with a mix of popular and niche hashtags to increase visibility.

The number one thing I see stopping people from achieving this dream isn't lack of time, skills, camera equipement, or bubbly personality (I wish I could go back and show you how shy and awkward I was when I first started LOL) But it isn't ANY of those things... the number one thing I see stopping people is their own limiting beliefs... fear of judgement... or simply not believing in themselves. If this sounds like you, send me a DM and let's talk about it!
If you've made it this far, thank you SO much for your support! I am cheering for each and every one of you!
Happy creating,
