Truly one of the greatest perks of working at home is the ability to go on vacation anytime you want. You can stay as long as you want and have the money to do whatever you want. The only draw back however, is that while you’re on your fun, relaxing vacation you can’t effectively work on your business. Here are my top 4 tips for building your home based business while on an awesome vacation. By the way… none of these will feel like work!
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!
