I'm not a big fan of creating a business that doesn't allow you to take time off from it, but I was talking with one of the members of my Aikido club and he just created a job for himself that I would be perfectly happy with. In fact, I would be ecstatic to have it.

He's a web designer and php guru. He just built a site called Happy Camping, it gives camping reviews on campsites in New Zealand. There's nothing filled in right now, but he has plans to go to New Zealand and fill in the reviews of the campsites himself. How cool is that?

He doesn't have any bosses, minimal expenses, moves on when he wants to and writes reviews when he wants - all while doing something that he loves to do! Did I mention that I love this idea?

It looks like he's going to be monetizing the site with AdSense, OK, not crazy about that. I would look at making a video at each campsite and then offering those videos for sale or download. The users could compile a selection of videos for DVD delivery using Customized DVD Production service from AccuTrack.

 The best bit is that you could branch out into other related areas - Happy Skiing, Happy RVing, Happy Hiking, Happy Surfing, Happy Rafting and on and on. The upside is endless - merely limited by your ability to get to do all these things. Can you make money doing it? I would say so - if you're passionate and knowledgable people will respond to that positively.
