So much great advice. I can see if I take each suggestion and go out and do it. This could grow my business. I’ve been a dog walker for two years. I’m now looking to groom, my dog walking business. So I appreciate all this fantastic information.

Hey there Doug Even though this Video is 3 yrs old its still relevant to me! Love that advice on walking the dog with a branded tee and magnet on car. However my client base would be cats. Not to many like leashes ha ha what would your suggestion be for marketing them?

Thank you for this information! I am experimenting with different business ideas and this is a perfect video with so much information. Thank you! Also, I see you with turkey in the woods. I want to take my dog hiking and he loves it as much as me, but we have alot of ticks here. Ive used tick collars, but they dont work. I am sensitive to chemicals, but I want to know what you use for ticks. Thanks again!

hi I wanted to start a at home dog sitting service, dog walking, and photography. How would I start this idea? I have a facebook page and have an add. I am going to print some flyers and put them in dog parks, starbucks and thinking about going door to door in my community. How would I start a buisness without owning a buisness. I wouldnt want to get in trouble legally.

How do you make a website/landing site?! PLEASE HELP
@DougtheDogGuy
Жыл бұрын
Hi! There are a lot of easy to use website builders out there like Squarespace and Wix. You can also build a simple landing page with Canva. I would suggest looking into the different options to find the one that makes the most sense to you. Or you could pay someone on Fiverr or UpWork to build a simple site for you. Barketing Solutions currently handles both of my websites and I would highly recommend them. They will cost more than the other options, but still affordable and worth it, in my opinion.

Hi! Your business is taxed as one entity no matter how many homes you are going to. (I hope that answers your question, let me know if not!) And somewhat related, here's a link to my tax deductions video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/k2up2Zhsnmerq44
