Ok...like many folks, I need to work to make a living. Then, there is the project that comes from my heart.
Emeraldgreen did the website, kittycats_delight refined the logo. I had a meeting with the Exec Director of the Calgary Humane, and with the chief Animal Bylaw fellow - who said once we got some press coverage, the thing would take off.
But there is no press for a service without a track record. We have a special where the first 10 resumes are free if we get to use the clients' story on the site.
There is advertising through the Vet ass'n and the Vet Tech group too...and I don't have the extra funds yet. I am using a federal gov't guideline and the help of a friend to put together a business plan...but it keeps falling by the wayside as I need TIME to do it, and it's mostly kind of done...but there are business gaps.
I need someone to take this over and tell me what to do. And on the same note, there is a service that started in Vancouver, where pet owners seeking pet friendly rentals can register for free, as can pet friendly landlords. But now this guy has no "advisors" - no staff.
Throwing money at these won't help. But they badly need someone to grab it and run with it....almost impossible for me when I need income from my regular job. There has to be two of me, and I don't have the energy I did years ago.
I guess I am venting...but any ideas? What help should I be asking for? :(
The sites in question:
http://www.prefurredpetresume.com/
http://www.petsandapartments.ca/
So many good ideas die because there was no follow through on a good idea...but I don't know what the follow-through is!
Thanks....
