The Definitive Step-by-Step Guide to Making Money on Airbnb

Learn the Secrets for Getting Found More Often, Selling Your Space & Making More Money

Most Airbnb hosts possess a general understanding of the concept behind Airbnb: Making money by opening up their home to travelers looking for short-term rental accommodation.

But Airbnb hosts, both new and old, frequently need to overcome a number of common challenges and frustrations.

New hosts are often...

  • Not clear on what they need to do;
  • Finding Airbnb harder than it was made out to be; or
  • Eager to get setup for success from the get-go

Existing hosts are often...

  • Not making as much money as they would like to;
  • Not getting found often enough; or
  • Having difficulty converting listing views into reservation requests

In this course, we address all of these concerns and cover the end-to-end hosting process to ensure you get found more often, sell your space and maximize your profitability!

The course is setup into relevant sections that makes it easy to parachute into the different elements of the hosting process and retrieve individual knowledge nuggets you’re looking for at any point in time. Alternatively, you can start from the beginning and navigate from beginning to end of the entire Airbnb hosting journey.

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Decide if listing on Airbnb is right for you

• Get your home ready to host

• Stay safe and protect yourself and your property
