這對夫婦有7只instagram上有名的寵物
Nala the cat, a Siamese and tabby mix, is slightly cross-eyed with gray and white fur. She likes being petted but isn't a fan of being held. She was rescued from an animal shelter and really loves men with beards.
娜拉是暹羅和貓的混血兒,它的眼睛略微有點對眼,皮毛是灰色和白色的。她喜歡被撫摸,但不喜歡被抱著。她是從動物收容所被救出來的,她真的很喜歡有胡子的男人。

Animals have long been popular online, cats in particular, and having especially photogenic pets has some led people like Methachittiphan and Ellis to a lucrative full-time career.
動物在網(wǎng)上一直很受歡迎,尤其是貓,擁有特別上鏡的寵物讓一些人(比如瑪沙其蒂潘和埃利斯)走上了賺錢的全職職業(yè)道路。
"The hardest part is that you never really have a day off. It's 24/7," Methachittiphan told CNN Business at VidCon, the annual conference for online video creators in Anaheim, California, last week. "You need to take some time for yourself, too."
“最難的是你從來沒有真正休息過一天。這是全天候的,”上周在加利福尼亞州阿納海姆為在線視頻創(chuàng)作者舉辦的年度會議VidCon上,瑪塔奇蒂潘在接受CNN業(yè)務采訪時表示。“你也需要給自己留點時間。”
In addition to running Instagram accounts for all seven pets, they sell Nala-themed merchandise such as shirts, beanies and pet toys, produce a Facebook Watch show about Nala and work on sponsored content deals with brands on Instagram that start at $8,000 for each post.
除了為所有七只寵物開設Instagram賬戶外,他們還銷售娜拉主題的商品,如襯衫、豆子和寵物玩具,制作一個關(guān)于納拉的Facebook Watch節(jié)目,并與Instagram上的品牌合作贊助內(nèi)容交易,每個帖子的起價為8000美元。
For Nala's Instagram account, they keep it pretty simple. She's pictured in minimally-edited photos making funny faces, sticking her tongue out, playing with boxes or cuddling with her famous siblings. For some photos, they dress her up in costumes such as a space suit or with accessories on her head like crowns, headbands and hats.
對于娜拉的Instagram賬戶,他們保持相當簡單。她的照片是經(jīng)過極少編輯的照片,她做著搞笑的臉,伸出舌頭,玩盒子,或者和她著名的兄弟姐妹擁抱。在一些照片中,他們會讓她穿上太空服等服裝,或者在她的頭上戴上皇冠、發(fā)帶和帽子等配件。
"It really happened by accident," she said. "By the second week, Nala had 500 followers, and by the fourth month, she had reached almost 50,000. At the time, I was like, 'Maybe we have something special here.'"
“這真的是偶然發(fā)生的,”她說。“到第二周,娜拉有500名追隨者,到第四個月,她已經(jīng)達到了近5萬人。當時,我想,‘也許我們這里有一些特別的東西。’”
Ellis, who had an Etsy store at the time, reached out to Methachittiphan to send Nala a cat bow tie when she had about 75,000 fans. When Nala hit a million followers,They struck a deal for bow ties for Nala's online store.
埃利斯當時有一家Etsy商店,當娜拉有大約75000名粉絲時,她主動聯(lián)系瑪塔基蒂凡,給娜拉送了一條貓領(lǐng)結(jié)。當娜拉的關(guān)注者達到100萬時,他們達成了一項協(xié)議,為娜拉的網(wǎng)店打蝴蝶結(jié)。
