The travel industry is hot today, especially with growth in technology and the Internet and large travel companies like Coastal Vacations. Computers and online tools are helping people earn extra income not only with affordable sales and marketing tools, but also with plenty of other tools to help your prospects and clients.

But don’t think that all the wonderful advancements can replace plain old-fashioned elbow grease. They can help with some parts of your business operations, but your business needs ‘you’ in it, too. And too many want to skip that important point.

So take a look at some of the ways technology and the Internet can help you earn some extra income, yet why you need to be involved at certain levels, as well:

1) Too many people think that because programs come with call centers, their own websites, full color digital brochures, and much more, that they won't have to work at all - they can just let the technology, the Internet – and call center people – do all the work. But just like any other type of work, Coastal Vacations and other home businesses also require effort, perseverance and a plan of action from the get-go.

2) Small things might not trip up a computer or system on the Internet, but they can mess up your operations out of a home office. So set up your home office and business operations in an efficient manner.

3) Learn and keep up with the latest information in your industry, the travel business. Learn what the hot spots are, the special places people want to visit for upcoming holidays, etc.

4) If you’re trying to bring others into the business, learn about the pros and cons and how you can truly help others get established and grow their businesses. Don’t just look out for number one.

5) Be professional and get organized. Set goals and steps to achieve them. Have your phone’s voicemail recording professional, not your two-year old speaking gibberish on it for fun. Network, get out to local functions, meet others and follow up. Use your phone, don’t just rely on email.

In summary, technology and the Internet – like email, websites and blogs are great. With many people helping you set up shop and marketing 24/7 quickly and affordably today, take advantage of the new age and hire help. Then spend your time on the steps above and on training and coaching your team.

Don’t skip steps and leave yourself out of the mix. Your prospects and clients need YOU in there.
