Welcome to Bella in Your Business. My name is Bella Vasta, and today we've got a really, really fun guest. You might remember a few weeks back a video going completely viral — it was Chloe, who is in Australia, looking for employees. We're going to get to know her today, find out how viral it went, how successful it was, what made her do it, and learn all about her business. Without further ado — Chloe, welcome to the show.

Chloe: Hi, thank you.

Bella: Thanks so much for being here. So you own Chloe’s K9 Crush, right? Did I say that right?

Chloe: It was kind of “Crutch,” but yeah.

Bella: And you are a dog walking service that does Monday through Friday dog walks, right?

Chloe: That’s right.

Bella: How did you get started doing it?

Chloe: I was actually working in a bar when I was doing nothing with my days, and I thought, “Oh, I really love dogs.” So I decided to offer doggy daycare services to people in my area, and from there it just grew through word of mouth into the little business that it is today.

Bella: I think a lot of our listeners can totally relate to that because I think many of us started out that way — in fact, I did too. I’m going to date myself, but when I was your age — I was 22 when I started mine. I was still in university, or college as we call it here, and it just kind of started. It’s an incredible business to have. So how long have you actually been doing it for?

Chloe: I started when I was 19. I’m 23 years old now. It’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

In this episode, Bella is going to share exactly how she was able to do this in her business, prior to Social Media along with all the tips and tricks that still work today.

Biggest Takeaway You Don’t Want To Miss

Welcome to Bella in Your Business, where Bella will discuss anything and everything about your pet sitting business to help you land on target. So get ready — Bella's got your chute. Let's jump. Welcome to Bella in Your Business. My name is Bella Vasta, your host and pet sitting and dog walking business consultant and Facebook group expert. Today, I am here to tell you all about how I was able to build my six-figure pet sitting company not using social media. You guys, this is going to be a fun episode. But first, I want to give a big shout-out to Nanny Donnelly, who left us a five-star review on iTunes. She said, if you're someone who can take a tell-it-like-it-is, straightforward, honest, and transparent delivery, this is the podcast you want to be subscribed to if you're in the pet industry. She's upfront with her tough love approach and will have you and your business thriving if you take her advice and implement it. I recommend listening one at a time, doing that one thing or implementing that strategy into your business plan and routine, and then going on to the next. You will start seeing results snowball, and all of this advice is free. She gives it up to you, and it's up to you to do it. Reach out to her for clarification on anything. She's very much down-to-earth, easy to reach, and responds with the best advice she can.

She will always meet you halfway, if not more, as long as you're willing to put in the work. This stuff really works. Thank you, Bella. You guys, I love that review. It makes me so excited. And every single time you leave a review on this podcast, it just really helps me realize that my doing all of this effort really works. So today, I am going to talk all about how I was able to build my business offline. Since so much of this podcast has been talking about social media — in fact,

There are a lot of problems with social media because there are so many different things you can do and you can't possibly do all the things. Bella is sharing some of the problems she has experienced with social media and then sharing all of the ways you can solve those problems and help you stay sane!

Biggest Takeaway You Don’t Want To Miss:

The way you stay sane in social media is by blocking out your time, scheduling your content, and staying organized. Figure out what you are saying on social media first and then create a strategy to batch your content. You are not a social media expert, there just isn't enough time in the day to do it all, stay in your zone of genius.

That’s where we come in. In Better Marketing With Bella, we take the load off of your plate. We create the content for you, EVERY MONTH, so you don’t have to.

Show Highlights

Three problems Bella has with social media. [3:00]

How do you keep up with Social Media? [6:00]

How can you increase engagement on your posts? [12:25]

How do you build relationships?[14:50]

What is batching? [15:35]

This is episode 141 of Bella in Your Business. Before we get started with today's episode, I want to know — are you burnt out trying to hire employees? Or maybe you want to hire employees but you're just terrified of that boogeyman that does not exist in the closet? Well, this episode is sponsored by my free three-part webinar series Jump and Scale Your Business, and I would love to see you there. It's a must-attend if you want staff, you want to grow, you feel like you're held hostage, or you have high turnover. Signing up is as easy as going to jumpconsulting.net/scale.

Welcome to Bella in Your Business, where Bella will discuss anything and everything about your pet sitting business to help you land on target. So get ready — Bella's got your chute. Let's jump.

Social media — oh my gosh, you guys. If you’ve listened to this podcast, then you know that I have given you over 130 episodes of all different kinds of things, and maybe 80% of them have to do with social media. I've given you all the tips and tricks. I've brought amazing experts like Mari Smith, who is a Facebook expert — in fact, Facebook sought her out to work for them — and she's come straight here to talk to us. I've had Jen Herman, my good friend who literally wrote Instagram for Dummies. We've had a lot of impeccable thought leaders in all different areas, and it's just so exciting to bring them to you. I hope that they've motivated and inspired you.

But today, I want to talk about how to actually stay sane with all of this stuff. The day that I record this, Facebook is actually down, which is pretty funny because everyone's freaking out. And what happens when Facebook goes down? Everybody goes to Twitter to say, “Oh my gosh, is Facebook down?” Because it’s not loading. So is Instagram — Facebook’s sister — and everyone’s losing their mind. But I think it’s actually pretty uncanny because today, as I come to you with this podcast, I want to talk to you about how to stay sane around social media.

It’s really hard. We want to stand out in a noisy social media world. A few weeks back,

Want to learn all the ways you can automate a pet sitting and dog walking business?

If you are a solo sitter, this is especially important because there is only one of you and you need to make every minute of your day efficient.

If you are in the process of building and scaling your business, it is even more important. You are going to want to make sure you have as much automated as possible so when you hand the baton off to an office manager they will have the most efficient workflow and you won't spend extra money on extra hours! Let's dig in.

Biggest Takeaway You Don’t Want To Miss:

There are lots of ways you can arrange your business to flow. In the end, it is all an individual choice but we have to understand that we need to use tools to help us because there just certainly isn’t enough time in the day to do “all the things.”

Now, when I started my pet sitting company way back in, actually, 2002, there wasn't a lot of this stuff out there. A lot of it was pen and paper, hand by hand. We had flip phones. We didn't have social media. We didn't have all this stuff, all these things, right? A lot of it was pounding the pavement. But as you know, times have changed. And I've noticed that sometimes people are still doing things that we were doing 10 years ago when there's apps and tools and things that we can use that are really going to help. So today I'm going to show you all the ways that you can automate a pet sitting and dog walking business.

Welcome to Bella in Your Business. My name is Bella Vasta, and today I want to tell you a short story. My coach told me about this thing called Brain FM, and I'm actually going to play it in the background as I do this intro for you so you can kind of hear it. It's this really cool music that I listen to while I work. What I love is that there are different types you can put on. It can be focus, sleep, relaxation, or meditation. And I can set it — here’s the clincher — for 30 minutes, an hour, two hours, or indefinitely.

So why does this work? I put this on in the background, and unlike music where I listen to lyrics and might feel something, this actually puts me in this trance and my productivity level goes through the roof. Also,

Welcome to Bella in Your Business, where Bella will discuss anything and everything about your pet sitting business to help you land on target. So get ready — Bella's got your chute. Let's jump.

Welcome to Bella in Your Business. My name is Bella Vasta, and today I've got a little bit of a different topic or road we're going to go on. We're going to stretch your imagination and get you out of that everyday monotony type thinking. My guest today is Jay Akunzo, and he is an author of an incredible book that I suggest you all check out. He has an uncanny knack for connecting quirky with warmth and humor plus years of practical relevance and experience. Jay delivers keynotes that move people to action, and whether it's 40 global brand executives, 400 fire chiefs, or 4,000 fired-up marketers, Jay challenges others to break from conventional thinking and supposed “best practices” in a way that drives greater results for companies and careers alike.

So what do you say we take the pet sitting and dog walking industry and flip it on its head because everybody and their mother seems to do things the same way. Welcome, Jay.

Jay: I love that you brought up that last point because I, as a longtime pet owner who has purchased services in this industry for years, feel that sting as a consumer. So I'm happy to speak to this audience.

Bella: It's not just about another picture of a cute puppy or kitty, right? It's about the user experience — or you tell me, what is it about? How can an entrepreneur who's growing a business really start to think about how they can differentiate themselves in the market and do what you say to do?

Jay: So for two and a half years, I started interviewing people that did something that looked crazy in their industry on my podcast. I would run these episodes and it would always look crazy. I'd reach out to the guests and say, “Hey,

Today, we're answering a question I get all the time - how does blogging help me get pet sitting clients? Although we've talked about how important blogging is, we've never really dived into the strategy behind how it actually works!

Biggest Takeaway You Don’t Want To Miss

In this day and age it isn’t about creating more and more content but using the content you do have and spreading it as far as you can. Blogs are super for repurposing, or what my friend Brian Fanzo calls “upcycling”. And at the end of the day, your customers will always have the same questions. They will get their answers, one way or another. If your blog keeps coming up to answer their questions it will subconsciously show them that you are a trusted local expert. That you care enough to make your marketing shine, that must be a great indication of your work ethic. The very thing they are hiring you for!

Show Highlights

What’s the premise behind blogging to get clients? [5:00]

What is upcycling? [8:00]

How do I schedule my upcycled content? [9:30]

How do I share my content on different channels? [13:00]

This is episode 136 of Bella in Your Business. Before we get started with today's episode, I want to know are you burnt out trying to hire employees or maybe you want to hire employees, but you're just terrified of that boogeyman that does not exist in the closet. Well, this episode is sponsored by my free three-part webinar series, Jump and Scale Your Business, and I would love to see you there.

Welcome to Bella in Your Business, where Bella will discuss anything and everything about your pet sitting business to help you land on target. So get ready, Bella's got your chute. Let's jump.

Hi everyone, good morning. Bella Vasta with Jump Consulting. If this is your first time on this podcast or seeing me, I am a pet business consultant, an author, a podcast host, and a Facebook strategist. I want to get into a question today, and that's something that I've actually gotten a lot, and I really want to break it down. So it's basically, how does blogging help me get clients? We've talked numerous times about the types of blogs you could write, why you should blog, what you should blog about, and how you should promote it. We talked about all this stuff, but never once have we really talked into the strategy of how it actually gets you clients.

Because a lot of people are out there right now blogging and they're blogging just to blog. They've got someone they pay five or ten bucks to write a blog or write whatever they want. But there's no real strategy behind it, and what that's like is it's like you're a lightweight and you're going into the heavyweight boxing ring trying to win the champion — and it's just not going to work. So what you need to do is that lightweight arena is your local area.

A lot of times I see people making the biggest mistakes where they start blogging, but they don't actually include their local area anywhere in their blog and they don't promote their blog. So what they actually did was just write an international blog that is competing against all of the world. So let's get into it. I've helped so many people do this. I've done it for my own pet sitting company. I've done it for my coaching company, Jump Consulting.

Bobby Klinck is a lawyer, but he’s not your typical lawyer.

Sure, he went to Harvard Law School and worked prestigious law firms, but if you look at the big whiteboard in his office, you won’t see much about the law. It’s filled with tasks related to platform building, inbound marketing, and sales funnels. Bobby is a full-fledged online entrepreneur, whose area of expertise is the law. He helps other online entrepreneurs safeguard their online businesses.

Biggest Takeaway You Don't Want To Miss

No two businesses are alike. That's why it's important to have a lawyer and a CPA that you can trust and understand. Don't just follow advice blindly. You want someone that can explain to you WHY they're making certain recommendations for you.

Bella: Welcome to Bella in Your Business. My name is Bella Vasta and today I've got Bobby Klinck, who's a lawyer — but not your typical lawyer. I first heard Bobby on Amy Porterfield’s podcast Online Marketing Made Easy, and Bobby, you don’t know this, but I fell in love with you in the car listening to you because you did not sound like that typical lawyer.
