Home Business Basics: Should I Venture Into Online Marketing?


Online marketing or internet marketing really is the way of the future. It is what everyone in network marketing is talking about and for good reason. Internet marketing is making working from home truly working from home! No more going all around town meeting people to make presentations, no more parties, no more meetings it is truly a work from home type of business. Online marketing is also a great way to reach a whole lot more people than you ever could working your business locally. You can reach people all over the U.S. and if your business is international you can even reach people overseas that’s why local marketing is quickly becoming a thing of the past… it’s just so darn effective and easy.

It’s also a great way to save money. Instead of spending money driving from place to place you can just sit in front of your computer and reach even more people than ever possible. So much of internet marketing is not free also, since so much great marketing can be done on free websites like facebook, youtube, ezine articles, ect.

Another great upside of internet marketing is that it’s great for people who are a little bit on the shy side. It can be really intimidating to talk to someone in person about your business but on the internet the pressure is off a bit more. So a lot of stay at home moms and “regular people” are now choosing to work online because they don’t have to be ultra impressive type A personalities to have success.

You can also have much more control over your own schedule when working from home online. You can stop when you need to stop if you’re taking care of your kids or you have to run to the store. You don’t have to worry about getting all dressed up and driving to a meeting you can now communicate with and network with people right from your home office and you can be wearing your pajamas if you want to!

So if you haven’t tried online marketing yet go ahead and give it a try. It can really change your business in a huge way.

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!
