Hello fellow animal business owners and professionals!  

I have been delighted to see how many of us have found our way to the Networking Clubs. 

Since we are all somewhat related, we might as well start connecting.

My name is Randi and I am best known for my work in the horse industry.  I became involved in social media in 2010.  You can see more details on my profile here.

Tell us about you?  What do you do in the world of animals?  How long have you been using social media?

Hi, Andrea @andrea-vahl,   Happy New Year!  

Thank you.  Yes,  How to Market Your Horse Business was a finalist last year.  Being involved in the  Social Media Examiners “Top 10 Facebook Small Business Pages was a turning point for me.  We listened to what was being said, and we updated everything. 

I am still getting a great deal of traffic from the Social Media Examiner.  At least 100 + per week!  Who would have thought that people outside of the horse world would want to see what we are doing!

I have talked in messages with people here at the SME Networking Club who are in the horse, animal, pet industrys.  They are not commenting yet, but hopefully they will join in with us soon.  

@dogpacksnacks Hi, Debbie.  Good to see you here.  Thank you for the compliment on the HTMYHB  FB page.  We were honored (and surprised!!!!)  to win this years Social Media Examiners Top 10 FB Small Business Pages. 

What an amazing world we live in!  I know there are more animal people here.  Not that you have brought this thread back to life, maybe we can get more to come out and play?

@catherineschooling  I just saw this post….  Hi, Catherine  It sounds like you are doing great.  I like the idea of using blogs to promote the animals.  How is that working now?
