Today we got the honor of interviewing QC (Skylar'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?
Young: Even before she came to us, I knew my photo album will be all about her because I love taking pictures and videos, so it’s natural for me to want to share her cuteness with the whole world.
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Young: I’ve received feedback from many people who appreciate how my page showcases a different side of Belgian Malinois. While they’re often depicted as intense workers or intellectual powerhouses, my content highlights the calm and sweet nature of Malinois who simply crave attention and pets.
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Young: I follow numerous inspiring creators within the pet world and across various niches. Over time, creating trending content becomes easier. However, for more original content like voiceovers and creative meal prep, I often find myself experimenting with filming and editing multiple times to determine what works best.
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Young: Yes, there are always unsolicited opinions or judgments on your approach to raising a dog. Rather than letting them affect me like they once did, I’ve learned to accept that it happens and I don’t engage with trolls. Focusing on the positive side is key, as there are far more friendly comments overall than negative ones.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Young: Just start posting! Consistency is crucial, and it’s fine to begin with any content at first. However, if your aim is to become an influencer rather than just sharing photos, you’ll need to develop a content strategy to accelerate growth. What topics do you want to cover on your page? Prioritize Reels to expand your reach and utilize Stories to foster community engagement. Don’t give up too soon.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Young: My dog completely transformed my lifestyle, leading me into the realms of dog training and canine nutrition, areas I never knew I’d be passionate about.
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?
Young: The most adorable moment was when we brought her to the beach for the first time. She couldn’t resist chasing the waves and attempting to eat the bubbles.
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Young: I truly value the community I’ve cultivated, connecting with fellow dog owners of the same breed. Their advice and support have been invaluable, especially as a first-time owner of a working breed.
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Young: I’d love to begin sharing tips for aspiring pet content creators, given my rapid growth in a short period. I believe my experiences could offer valuable insights to fellow dog influencers seeking to grow their pages.
