As the Internet age becomes more and more a fact of everyday life in the 21st century, there are more and more instances of families and individuals conducting business. From vacation rentals by owner to individuals selling their unwanted goods on the Internet, 'small business' is taking on a whole new meaning. The yard sale is not the only option for getting rid of your things. Instead of selling your used books for $0.25 on a Saturday morning on your lawn, it is possible to sell your used books on eBay or on Amazon for whatever the competitive price based on the demand for the book. Books and clothing are not the only things being listed online these days.

Virtually anything can be listed online. It just depends on finding the right site where you can place your listing. Finding the right market is a matter of finding websites that not only are user friendly but that also get a lot of traffic.

The picture is not so different when it comes to vacation rentals by owner. It used to be that a cabin or private home for rent during certain parts of the year was known only by word-of-mouth and by handwritten flyers posted around town. Of course, over a period of time, with repeat customers and with those customers telling other customers about your fabulous place for rent, this system works well. However, can it ever compare with the power of the Internet?

The Internet has the power to bring this type of listing into the homes of everyone not only across the U.S., but also across the world. When you list your property for rent online, it is possible that you will receive emails from Germany or Japan asking to reserve your property for a given couple of weeks in the summer. Making this a reality is a simple matter of finding the right website (one that gets a lot of traffic), where vacation rentals by owner are listed.

Although it is possible to simply make your own website with the information about your property, it is much easier (and much cheaper in most cases) to find an existing website to host your listing. Not only is this method cheaper, it exponentially increases the number of Web surfers who will see the information about your specific property. Even if you already have your own website, you might consider listing your property on a travel website so that you get the extra traffic to your site via the link on the travel website to your site.
