I've just posted a job ad on Trademe Jobs for a Business Development Manager. Basically the reason why is to ensure the continued running of The Pet Hub website, as we can't function on sunshine and fresh air as I mentioned previously, much as we would love to pay our invoices with these good things.
If you know of anyone who can spare a little time each week to helping us build our amazing website, which is getting more wonderful to be a part of every day, and who can perhaps survive on fresh air and sunshine themselves for a little while to begin with, let them (and us) know! By the way, it won't be that long - and the right person will certainly be earning an income before either of the directors do!
There are so many places we want to go with the site but we just need an income to be able to do it, so all your help and support is appreciated more than we can ever show or express to you.
The more people who know about the website, the better, so please, please, please tell your friends and family to visit, and join our Pet Club!
Sincerest thanks,
Rochelle

News from the back end
We've got a newsletter heading out tomorrow and I apologise that it's a little bigger and fatter than previous newsletters - I guess this comes with not having sent one for a month! It's a very exciting time for us though, and a little daunting too. We're still learning new tricks when it comes to Google's tools - for example our Pet Events calendar is now updated via our Google calendar account. Our aim with this is to include as many pet and animal related events throughout New Zealand as possible, to give everyone a chance to see what's happening.
And recently I found that our website developers were only too happy to help us provide online shopping to our visitors, which is a huge achievement! We are very excited to have had orders come through already.
As much as we'd like to live on fresh air and sunshine, we also need to be able to sustain the website financially, so we are making plans to begin monetising the website. You will eventually notice some more advertisements throughout the site as we bring advertisers on board, and changes as we develop how we sell advertising spaces on the site.
Much of the changes coming up for us in the future are, as mentioned, exciting and daunting at the same time - and we're still learning a lot of skills to improve the site. We hope you continue to visit and give us feedback on what you do and don't like.

It's been a while ...
Hi folks,
Profuse apologies about the lack of posts in recent months. Our 'to-do' lists have become longer than a piece of string and unfortunately the blogs - both this and Four Legs Good - have taken a bit of a back seat.
Please bear with us as we get some priorities sorted - of course our first priority is to continue to create an awesome website for people to visit, and we will continue this as best we can. But another top priority is to make it profitable as well, and this is part of what we're working on behind the scenes.
We'll keep updating readers through short blog postings, Facebook and Twitter updates as well as through our newsletter - which we've decided to produce on a monthly basis due to time constraints.
We really appreciate your support to date and hope that we can continue to create an awesome website that visitors really enjoy visiting. Don't be shy to contact us with any feedback you have as well, it's invaluable to us. And remember to keep sending in your pet photos and stories!
