What's cooking.....

It's been a week now since our last post, but we here at Animalcareerist.com wanted to let you know that you are not forgotten. I wanted to take a few moments to explain a little about what we have been doing. (And trust us, we've been busy!)

We are getting to ready to spread our wings a little-- launch few new projects at Chew Toy Holdings, start production at Chew Toy Media and even get a little help here at Animalcareerist.com.

In speaking with business advisors over the past weeks, it's become clear that a few of the projects we've been considering have real merit and we are moving ahead with some of them.

Last week, I placed an ad on Craigslist with the headline "Help me Start a Business". The results were amazing. In less than 24 hours, I was contacted by over 20 people. Many had compelling stories, and I was fortunate to meet a handful of these talented people.

The results? A few new projects, and a refocusing of a few others.

Sophie Paladichuck is taking the lead with Chew Toy Media, which is our innovative animal-focused company which is geared toward assisting animal businesses in their sales, marketing and development efforts. Services include logo/image development, search engine ad campaigns, video production, web design. Why choose CTM for these types of work? Because we have decades of experience in the animal world. We know how to reach the customers.

We are also moving forward with an innovative insurance business, which will offer unique insurance products for both the animal owner AND animal business people. The time has come for a new business to step into this market and look at the animal world in a new light. I am in the process of bringing a CFO and Marketing Director to help launch this business.

Perhaps our most exciting new project is our development work in the area of social networks for animal lovers. Our first projects will focus on the horse show markets and the dog show markets, although we have other markets identified. The network platform is complete, and we are hoping to have the prototype available within 6 weeks. We are currently seeking investors for this project.

Lastly, we will be seeking to bring at least two contributors into the Animalcareerist family. More on that later.
