Make top dollar and earn 5-star reviews from your ideal Airbnb guests.
If you’re an Airbnb host, you’re likely also a curious, creative and resourceful entrepreneur in other areas of your life and work. And so, it would only be natural for you to want to help your guests with some extra services… while you get to relish in a little bit of side-on-side hustle.
However, there is a delicate art to this, and several DO NOTs that I want to start off with before I give you a few tips on how you can earn more money through the connections you make with your guests.
Like a lot of Airbnb hosts (including myself at one point), you might remember having read about a “one million dollar guarantee.”
Yes, you think, Airbnb will insure me against one million dollars worth of damages, no matter what!
Or, maybe this “guarantee” is something your fellow host friends told you about to assuage your fears of renting out your place to strangers. You looked it up briefly and then carried forth, buoyed by the confidence of your host friends (and let’s be honest, by the cold hard cash they were making while on vacation in the Mediterranean).
And now… you’ve probably forgotten about it. Nothing’s gone wrong, or only minor things have, and you think you’re immune from suffering damages from guests.
Now, while I am a proponent of positive thinking and manifesting your reality… I’m here to give you a positive reality check today.
The “one-million dollar guarantee” is actually not an insurance policy. It does not mean you will receive up to a million dollars from Airbnb. And, you are actually protected way less than you think.
Okay, breathe. Now, I’ve found a solution for you.
The solution is called Slice. Read on for more!
I’m about to say something pretty controversial, so listen up. :) Even if you live in the middle of nowhere, you can get 5 stars in Location on Airbnb. Because, like all things, it’s not just about what you think it
I was going through some old journals today, and I thought it would be fun to post this little note I wrote to myself on the day I first had my professional Airbnb photos taken…
As the year comes to a close, I’m reviewing my income from Airbnb hosting with a curious eye—wondering how I can do better next year, and what my intentions are when it comes to generating value and revenue through hosting.
Here’s what I made, plus a special invitation to a group that will help you make more hosting in 2016!
You may have read a few blogs on hosting by now, and you may have noticed that a lot of hosting advice is geared toward the “general” host.
However, there are really three major categories that hosts fall into—and depending on which kind of host you are, you may need different resources, tools and advice to make the most of your hosting experience.
This article will help you:
– figure out what kind of host you are
– uncover your biggest challenges as that category of host
– highlight your potential problem areas on Airbnb (read: where you’re likely to lose stars!)
– arm yourself with strategies and solutions for rising above these challenges and problems

Your success, freedom and profitability through Airbnb is directly affected by the quality of work your houseturnover person does.
If you’re ready to uplevel your hosting by hiring an awesome houseturnover assistant, you’re in luck! Because…
I’m writing an eBook that will show you the full-spectrum ins and outs of finding, training, hiring, managing and keeping your houseturnover assistant—with bonus tips on how to transition home, how to do a space clearing, and how to find additional assistance beyond your first assistant!
Here’s how I almost missed out on nearly $400 in profit thanks to Airbnb’s pricing recommendations. Bottom line? Your intuition + research + knowledge of your city is much more useful to you than Airbnb’s pricing recommendations.
