Can You Really Make Money While On Vacation?

What could be better than being on vacation with your friends or family and STILL MAKING MONEY!? It’s the dream right? But is it really possible? With a home based business it is totally possible.

Here are a few things that you can do while on vacation that will help you make money while you’re relaxing on the beach.

1. Update Your Blog

Your home based business blog should be a good mix of business related material with a little bit of your personal life thrown in. If you already have quite a few faithful subscribers all it will take is a new post or two about how much fun you’re having on vacation (pictures are a big bonus) to peak some serious interest. Bonus points if the vacation you’re taking isn’t during the summer or other prime vacation months.

Imagine someone sitting in their office looking at pictures of you and your family on an awesome sunny vacation. It’s great for business!

2. Use Social Networking Sites

Much like your blog social networking sites like Myspace, Twitter, and face book allow you to reach out to tons of people at one time. Instead of spamming and constantly posting annoying ads on your social networking sites why not update them with pictures or stories of how much fun you’re having? Trust me it will make your friends jealous and some of them are going to ask more about your business.

3. Send Out An Email To Your List

If you have a pretty large email list then sending out a big bulk email alerting them that you’ll be on vacation for the next , week, two weeks or month will be sure to peak a ton of interest. Don’t send out the email to brag. Just let them know that you may not be available for a while since you’re in (insert awesome vacation spot). It’ll get their attention for sure.

4. Shoot Some Video For The Web

Video for the web doesn’t have to be a highly produced scripted thing. Grab your camcorder or digital camera and short a few short videos about your vacation to post on Youtube and other online sources. Try to keep them short and sweet and make sure your background looks good (like not in your hotel room) at the beach, by the pool, on the ski slopes or in front of a landmark are all good ideas!

Those are the top 4 tips for building your home based business while on vacation. So what are you still doing here? Get out there and have some fun!
