While everyone is watching the Presidential debate, or the opening game of the World Series or some other national media event, have some new material ready to reveal as soon as the event is over. Many people watch TV and take part in some form of social network now. There are twitter debate hashtags, Olympic twitter games, plurk cliques for football games, and Skype chats while the opening show of a new series begins. Then people stay online a while after to catch up on their email, see who else is on Twitter, etc.

Bring on your blog posts, your newest inventory, your special sales events and unleash them to the online world just at the right moment. Be sure to post something on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, your forums and any other places you chose to promote your work at home business.

One more thing you can do is bid on auctions that are ending during that time. If you need inventory for your business, there’s a good chance you can get it at a bargain price because not many people are buying at that time.

There is a great deal of online traffic when there is something exciting or new occurring on the television, especially concerning politics and sports. Take advantage of that traffic to market your business. Write something concerning the media event and you’re more likely to get traffic to your blog or website.
