Facebook Memories: The Hidden Holiday Hack to Reconnect, Repurpose, and Make Money From Home 🎄✨

Life gets hectic this time of year. Between baking Christmas cookies, untangling string lights, wrapping gifts, and trying to make sure the Thanksgiving turkey leftovers don’t go to waste, sometimes our businesses feel like the last thing we can give energy to.

And yet… the desire to make money from home doesn’t pause for the holidays. If anything, it grows louder. You might be sitting there, peppermint mocha in hand, thinking:

“I should be doing something in my business… but I don’t even know where to start.”

That mental tug-of-war is real. There are so many things "we could be doing in our money maker business", actually TOO many.. so then often "nothing" gets done in our day. And if you’ve ever felt guilty, that inner pressure for not showing up enough online, I promise you’re not alone.

That’s why today, I want to offer you one of my holiday favorite under-the-radar holiday time-savers; one that’s especially perfect for those “sugar cookie haze” days when you don’t have the brainpower for creating Reels, stuffing your Facebook stories, or a long winded Christmas holiday post.

It’s our "Facebook Memories".

And before you roll your eyes and think, “Really, Roxanne? That old thing?” stick with me. Because this isn’t just about scrolling for nostalgia.. it’s about using Facebook’s built-in memory lane to reconnect, refresh, and quietly build your business in the background while you’re living your life.

Let’s unwrap this together. 🎁

🎄 Step One: Reconnect Without Overthinking

Here’s the thing.. we women can be brutal with ourselves when we’re “not doing enough.” Our inner critic whispers:

“You should’ve posted today. You’re falling behind.”
“Everyone else is showing up. Why aren’t you?”

I’ve been there.. staring at my phone, frozen in decision fatigue, convinced I needed a brand-new strategy, when really, the gold was already sitting under my nose.

Facebook Memories shows you exactly who engaged with you in the past.. the people who laughed at your memes, commented on your stories, or loved that behind-the-scenes photo of your dog in his reindeer sweater.

These are your warm connections. These are the women who already know you.. the ones most likely to cheer you on, share your content, and yes, even shop your recommendations supporting your online business.

Action Step:
Go into your Memories tab and scroll through “On This Day.” Find posts with the most likes, comments, or emojis, and intentionally reconnect:

• Drop a heart-react or leave a warm comment on their latest post.
• Send a simple message like:
  “Hey Sarah! Facebook just showed me our photo from last year’s Christmas cookie swap 🎄 .. can you believe it’s been two years? I was thinking of you today and wanted to say hi!”

It’s genuine connection that deepens trust.. no forced sales pitch required.

🎁 Step Two: Repurpose, Don’t Reinvent

If the thought of creating fresh content right now makes you want to hide under the wrapping paper, I hear you.

Here’s the gift Facebook Memories gives us: you don’t always have to start from scratch.

Go back to high-engagement posts from previous years and look for patterns. What resonated? What was connecting? Was it that photo of you baking gingerbread cookies with your grandkids? That mini-rant about the chaos of Black Friday shopping madness? That quick tip about saving time while balancing family and business during the holidays?

Take those themes and breathe fresh life into them:

• Swap outdated holiday photos for something current.
• Update your perspective .. what have you learned since then?
• Use the old idea as a springboard inspiration instead of reinventing the wheel.

This strategy is a game-changer when your time and energy are stretched thin. It lets you stay consistent, keep showing up, and make money from home .. all without burning out.

(Ps.. looking for something quick and easy to keep the kids occupied a few minutes while you pull the Christmas butter tarts from the oven? ❄️🎄Take my Winter Holiday Activity Book! ~Hours and hours of fun 😉)

For example my post about "how we women like our potatoes". I had so many comments, so much fun catching up and chatting with women that I had not talked to for months.. Posts like this work well because, well.. we seem to have an opinion about everything including our mashed potatoes and gravy at Christmas time.😂

✨ Step Three: Clean House, Strengthen Your Circle

Here’s a secret most people never talk about: pruning your friend list improves your reach.

When you scroll through your Memories, you’ll see old friend's comments, connections, and birthdays you’ve forgotten. Pause, click on their profile and ask:

• Is this person still active?
• Do I still feel connected to them?
• Are we aligned with where I’m headed now?

If the answer is no, bless and release. Personally.. I go through carefully my Facebook friends list every so often as we all should.. If I have wished a woman; "Happy Thanksgiving", 🎄"Merry Christmas", "Happy New Year"🥂, and "Happy Birthday" and she has not responded, taken a moment over the year to reply .. Bless and release. Cheers to New Year's Eve early house cleaning and decluttering your Social Media.

Here’s why: Facebook rewards engagement. When your friends and followers list is filled with people who genuinely interact with your posts, your content is shown to more of the right people.. the ones who want what you’re offering. Offering that balance of empowering, encouraging, enlightening, entertaining and yes educational content and making money online ALL at the same time.

And for those you do want to keep close? Send them a warm message or holiday wish:

“Merry Christmas, Carol! I hope your season is full of fuzzy socks, peppermint mochas, and zero tangled Christmas lights. It's been ages, how the heck you doing over there .. Thinking of you today!” ❄️

Small touches like these create meaningful moments.. and that’s what builds lasting business relationships and re kindling friendships on Social daily!

🌟PS.. meet my Dad .. he and Mom were one of the many reasons why I looked to find a way to make money online when he lost his vision in multiple retinal detachments. Being able to be there for them was a beautiful thing in what were some very tough times for all of us. (Read more of our story here)

🎄 Step Four: Beat the “I Should Be Doing More” Guilt

The holidays have a sneaky way of making us feel like we’re constantly behind. Everywhere you look, people seem to be hustling harder, posting more, doing all the things.

But here’s your reminder to breath easy: we don’t have to do it all.

Facebook Memories gives you a tiny, doable step that moves your business forward .. even if all you do today is reconnect with six people. You can do this while sipping cocoa by the fireplace, watching Elf for the tenth time, or frosting sugar cookies with your grandkids.

Sometimes, one small thing is exactly what keeps the momentum alive.. and helps you quietly keep earning, even during the holiday chaos.

🎁 Why This Works

Because the truth is, people buy from people they feel connected to.

And during the holidays, when inboxes are exploding with “Black Friday blowouts” and “Christmas mega-sales,” what stands out isn’t the loudest offer or flashiest ad…

It’s genuine connection.

Using Facebook Memories is like sneaking in the back door of relationship-building. It’s simple. It’s quiet. It's powerful. Facebook has been documenting daily for years of what's working well with your content AND who's been loving it. And it works in the background while you’re living your life.. baking, laughing, wrapping gifts, and making holiday memories.

And when you pair this with a business model that lets you make money from home while you sleep? That’s when the real magic begins to happen.

No sacrificing the holiday magic just to “keep up.”
