How to Keep Your Blog Up AND Go on Vacation for 2 Weeks

By startupprincess | Published June 25, 2007

Hello Friends of the Kingdom!
I’m back…(did you know I was gone? Probably not…!) I took a 2 week vacation to Florida (Disneyworld and St. Augustine.) Since I wanted to take a REAL vacation, I didn’t blog at all and only checked my email a few times…it was great! I feel really refreshed and ready to get back into life back here at the castle.

Here’s how I kept the site up while I was gone:

I prepared 9 posts for while I was away ahead of time and post dated them for when I wanted them to be published on the site. If you don’t already do this with your blog, I highly recommend it. You use the “post timestamp” option and schedule the post to appear on the appropriate time and date you would like it to be published
Interviews were conducted with several people via email
Guest Bloggers contributed a few posts
Lisa Callsen, our Virtual Assistant helped me a great deal with emails and keeping up with comments on the site as well

BTW, my strategy worked great AND my stats improved a great deal while I was away too! I’ll be doing MORE interviews…they seem to be very popular!

Got something to say?

Startup Princess is an international network committed to empowering Women Entrepreneurs by offering resources for women in business to support, mentor, collaborate, learn from, and inspire one another. In 2006, after struggling to raise funding for an initial startup business venture, Kelly King Anderson recognized an important market niche existed for reliable resources educating women desiring to start and grow successful businesses, thus Startup Princess was developed.

Successful women entrepreneurs understand that for every business venture, they are in charge of creating, organizing, developing, managing, and assuming all the risks associated with their enterprise. That can seem quite intimidating but as other women business owners will tell you, it’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it! Success is within your grasp and Startup Princess is here to help.
