Today we got the honor of interviewing Angela (Chaos's Human). You can find a direct link to their Instagram here.
Here is their story:
Can you tell us about your journey to becoming a dog influencer? What inspired you to start sharing your dog's adventures on social media?
Morreal: My last dog left here after 19.4 years in September. I wasn’t really ready for another dog but my husband said we need it to complete our family. I always wanted to post my last dog but the platform wasn’t there when he was a puppy, and I never started him an account and regretted it. I knew immediately that I wanted to have an account for Chaos from day one. Amaya goal for the account is just to have fun and share our adventures.
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Morreal: Honestly, I think our consistency in posting multiple times a day and not pushing products we don’t believe in. We have not advertised for anything yet, as we have not found the right fit for us. It seems that everyone is trying to sell multiple products, but I’m only willing to post about things that I truly believe in or have purchased and like.
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Morreal: Most of my ideas just come from real life, what’s relatable as a dog mom. It’s very easy to have multiple posts for Chaos, because he really is adorable. He loves the camera.
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Morreal: The biggest challenge I faced is just being new to the platform. I’ve never had a public account and there’s so much to learn. I also have no real experience online, so it’s been a learning curve.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Morreal: I think the best advice I can give is to not give up. I think so many people give up because they’re not getting immediate results. I will say that Instagram is a lot of work and most people don’t realize that the best thing you can do is make it fun.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Morreal: Well, Chaos, being a puppy has needed a lot of socialization, and it gets me out of the house interacting with others.
Can you tell us about a particularly memorable or funny moment you've had with your dog during one of your photo shoots or adventures?
Morreal: Chaos is reactive and barks at other dogs. We just found this out in puppy school and it does get to be a bit much. However, the other day all his classmates were rooting for him because he is so smart that he learns the new behaviors very quickly. It was nice to see strangers rooting for him doing well.
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Morreal: Showing off Chaos because I love him so much. I want to share his happy face with everyone.
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Morreal: We plan on transitioning and showing more of our adventures. Currently, it’s hard, because we are still training a puppy, but we plan on traveling to many of the states this year. We will be taking probably three big road trips to Florida, Wisconsin, and Utah from North Carolina. We do plan on continuing with relatable, humor, and cute puppy videos also.
