Tanks for your post. I'd actually need someone in the USA that can take care of the marketing. Interested people can contact me through the website's Contact page


what's your marketing strategy for offline and online? u may also hire a small mktg/pr firm but they need to be paid in cash ... which i dont think u will opt for???


The offline strategy (which I haven't started yet) would be marketing the site at dog/cat/pet shows, competitions and meeting.

Online would be maybe sponsoring a few good sites, but mostly relying on the word of mouth of pet enthusiasts that discover the site, and embed thier pets' slideshow into their blog (the slideshow links to their full profile page of course). I'd also like to grow the number of people blogging on pet-files, which would bring new readers, and possibly new writers


do u have budget for these strategies? are u generating any revenue at present?


The site is pretty new, and I currently have zero ads on it. I plan to put Google Ads on it in the future, but only when I'll have a bigger traffic.

Budget for the marketing is one of the things I'd like to get from a partner, besides some help on strategic guidance :)
