I tried selling a done-for-you pet product after years of posting just for fun… fully expecting crickets.
Like…
“Oh cute, Lauren finally lost it.”
“That’s adorable, nobody is buying that.”
“Back to posting for likes and vibes.”
Except that is not what happened.
What actually happened was this 👇🏼
People bought it.
Then more people bought it.
Then my inbox stopped being full of fire emojis and started being full of sales notifications.
And that is when I realized something important.
Pet parents are already spending money. Constantly.
On toys their dog destroys in 12 minutes.
On matching bandanas their pet hates.
But nobody ever showed us how to spend money on something that could actually make money back.
The problem was never that pet parents do not want to monetize.
The problem was that nobody gave us a beginner-friendly way to start without becoming an influencer, begging brands, or building something from scratch.
So I stopped posting with no plan and tried something different.
1 product.
A simple system.
Short pet videos I was already posting anyway.
No face required.
No huge following.
No posting all day like a sleep deprived raccoon.
Now my pet content does more than get likes.
It actually leads somewhere.
And yes, it still feels weird that a done-for-you product works better than years of posting for free. But here we are.
If you are already posting your pet just for fun, with no plan, no offer, and no idea how other people are making money from this app, this might be your sign.
Comment PAWS if you want to see the done-for-you system that turned my cute chaos into something that actually pays and made me rethink everything I thought I knew about Instagram.
Be honest… if your pet is already running your life, should they start running your side hustle too? 🐾👀
