How To Get Started With Your Own AirBnb

Join us today as Janie shares her experience with becoming an AirBnb host.

First up, here are some reasons why someone becomes a host:

1. The opportunist
    People who have some extra space in their existing home or apartment, like a spare bedroom or a guest casita, and want to make some extra money. 
2. Side hustle seekers
   People looking to earn some extra income. Side hustle seekers use Airbnb as a way to provide stable extra income, but it is not a full-time gig for them. 
3. The full-time entrepreneur
   People who have at least one, dedicated full-time short-term rental property on Airbnb. Their desire is to have their primary income be from short-term rentals, and they have ambitions to build an entire portfolio.

There are options within AirBnb to rent a room, garage, entire home,  or even arbitrage, which is how Janie started.

Location location location ... clearly location is everything!

5 Tips when getting started:

1. The first three months are the most important
2. Great photos
3. Amazing description
4. Competitive pricing
5. Great reviews

Last tip, you can SCALE your AirBnb biz by automating it: hire a cleaning service, install digital locks, use a property management service, or by using a pricing service.
