Blood started oozing from my ears listening to their sharp voices and that and that Uptalk as: speech in which each clause, sentence, etc… ends like a question with a rising inflection.🙈🙈😡😡 its so ffffing irritating
Hey how do you find hosts to co host for today ?
Networking! Advertising. Join groups (in-person or through social media) for STRs/Airbnbs, hosts, and owners in your area and put yourself out there. Advertise your service online. Make sure you're compliant with all rules and regulations in your state!
@@ThanksForVisiting My way of doing it is to approach hosts directly on airbnb. While on Facebook its not possible because private group doesn’t accept such posts while public are mostly spam so no one takes it seriously

What if they take 4 hand towels, 4 bath towels, 3 wash clothes and bleached 5 beige bath sheets at 28.00 each?? I looked it up and it was 228.00 to replace.
This would definitely be a time where you get Airbnb involved and charge the guests for these.
I’m just finding your channel. I tried to use your tip about check in but can’t figure out how to do it. I’d love to add some pictures to make it easier for the guest to find the entrance on the side of the house. Can you explain how to get to the screen to add pictures for check in. I am using my mobile phone and just don’t see where you can add pictures. Thanks!
Hey there! Are you trying to do this through the Airbnb app on your phone? I would recommend using a computer for it so you can access all features. Additionally, if you're sharing digital guidebook with your guests, I recommend putting those photos there for them.
@@ThanksForVisiting yes, I was trying it on my phone so I’ll try it on my desktop. I haven’t added anything to the digital guestbook so I’ll look at that too. Thanks for your help and for responding so quickly! I give this channel 5 stars!!
@@teepalz Thanks for being here! We have videos 2x a week and you can tune into our podcast anywhere you like to listen to podcasts! We're there 2x weekly too :)
Hi, I was wondering if you ever had any experience with Lodify, didn’t know if that would be helpful with making your own direct website and having all the messages just go to one app? Absolutely love all your videos. I would love to be as organized as you two!!❤
Yes, Lodgify is awesome! It is soooo helpful and efficient when you can use one platform to do so much. Lodgify is one of our "Trusted Tools" and you can actually check out our other favorites right here: thanksforvisiting.com/trusted-tools :)
I changed my short description on airbnb to bullet points and I got 6 bookings across my portfolio in 1 week. Great tip!! Also love the Breezeway tip (although I’m in Cape Town, SA so don’t have Breezeway option here due to exchange rate)!
Oh my gosh, that's awesome! Congrats, I'm so glad this tip worked for you!
do you guys have recommended language to ask guests for 5-star reviews in automated messages after their stay has ended? would you recommend this practice and if so, what would be the best friendly, appreciative, and professional way to phrase it? many guests don't know that even a 4 star review can be detrimental to a listing. when a review says "everything was perfect! 4 stars" it can be confusing and disheartening. is there a way to phrase a message to educate guests on how STR star reviews are weighed differently than hotels or other businesses. I've found some phrasing online in some forums but haven't yet been able to craft something that strikes the right balance and would super appreciate if you could share your thoughts or phrasing on this!
Absolutely - "We would love to hear your feedback in a 5 star review! Our small business appreciates your positive reviews." You can also prompt them to message you or reach out directly if they need anything or have any suggestions for the property during their stay!
@@ThanksForVisiting - Thank you so much! Simple, straightforward, and kind. I've incorporated it and appreciate your quick help! (This is my other RUclips account lol)
Really insightful and timely! Just started hosting about 2 weeks ago. Great to start off with these insightful tips BEFORE any issues like this arise.

My property is not quite ready yet, do you recommended me going live and blocking availability so I can work on the rest of my listing?
Good question. No I would recommend waiting until you're fully ready to launch so you're ready for bookings while you have the boost from Airbnb when you start. What are some of the elements you're still working on getting ready for the listing?
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge ladies! I’m loving your educational videos.
Thank you! Glad you're here and enjoying the videos! Are you currently an Airbnb host? We also have free resources available on our Podcast and Blog :)
Your channel is impressive, and your video content is in high demand. By optimizing your SEO, you can boost your views and subscribers organically. Best regards, Rezaul Bari
Great video! I have checked your link in amazon and I have a question: Does this product - "King Size 4 Piece Sheet Set - Comfy Breathable & Cooling Sheets - Hotel Luxury Bed Sheets for Women & Men" fit with the pillow product - "Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows Standard". Are you using this pillow with this sheet?
If you get the sheets and pillow case in King, make sure you grab the pillows in King as well. For twin + queen, standard pillows are the correct size!
Is there a way you can incorporate Turo with our listing or direct booking website? We also have a Turo business.
Good question. We're new to Turo in our own business but in doing some research, it looks like you can. I would recommend getting in touch with their customer service for some support on how to get that started. Who are you using to host your direct booking website?
@@ThanksForVisiting We are still in the process of creating a website. Do you have any recommendations?
@@jenjenp7890 Love Lodgify and Hostfully as PMS systems that can help support your direct booking site!
Love your channel! We’re getting our house ready for STR and MTR. Your videos are short and to the point! Very helpful.
Congrats on starting your hosting journey! We've got content and resources for every step of the way. :) I'm linking our Hosting Handbook here, this is a huge resource for new hosts and includes everything you could ever need to know as you enter this STR realm! thanksforvisiting.com/handbook
I’m not an air bnb host and don’t plan to be but I stayed to the end 🤣
haha! Thanks for being here, glad you stayed!
I love your guys' videos, thank you for posting & sharing your knowledge! Having said that, HARD disagree about the throw pillows. As someone with a disability, I really appreciate seeing a variety of pillow sizes and firmness levels. It depends on the number of people the home can accomodate and I'm always trying to consider people's comfort and accessibility needs as best I can. Offering a variety of sizes, textures, and firmness levels helps ensure that more people can be fully comfortable when relaxing on the couch or chairs. Having said that, if someone is going to provide pillows - try to provide a variety. Pillows that are all fluff that compress down to nothing instantly and offer zero support are indeed a no-go! :)
Thanks for sharing! This is great insight!
Thanks this was super helpful!
Glad you could use it!!

Hey yall! Regarding secret #4, would the thing you said at 5:21 and 5:30 - telling them how: would you use that phrasing at 5:30 in the morning after message? I totally agree about asking and prompting in advance and am hoping to automate phrasing like this so that I'm not forgetting to ask OR feeling anxious and writing a new phrasing each time. Thanks! Also love the tip about the magnet - definitely going to incorporate that. And I also did create a "forgot something?" bin in our bathroom. It's a small bathroom so it's inside the vanity cabinet but I do prompt people about it in our morning after message in case they don't come across it (not enough table space to put it in the open in our small bathroom).
Absolutely. "Hey ___! We hope you enjoyed your stay! Reviews are so important to our small business, we would love to hear from you in a 5 star review!" On check out, you could always ask them for feedback "Let us know if there is anything you needed or would have improved your stay so we can make those changes!" Love the forgot something basket, sounds like your communication is point!!
@@ThanksForVisiting - thank you, that phrasing is super helpful!
what does she mean by "things"
Stains, damage, or missing socks!
thank you that helped a lot . I was loosing my mind
haha been there! Glad to help :)
Check out our Forgot Something Basket Checklist right here: thanksforvisiting.com/forgotsomethingbasket
We receive many 5-stars at our OCNJ condos! We encourage communication and those who reply are much happier with their stays. They also enjoy learning of area events.
You're right, communication is sooo key! Do you see a lot of your guests are traveling for big events like concerts?
My “forgot something basket” made it into one of my latest reviews along with labels on every drawer and light switch! You ladies have been so helpful to me! I’m only 2 months in!
That's so awesome!! I'm glad you're seeing this mentioned in your reviews. Keep crushing it!
i am looking for co-host faculty. i also have experience.
A great place to look is in your local hosting communities on Facebook! You can always post about your service offerings there :)
1) Don't set a pet fee! 2) Don't charge for cleaning. Just roll those costs into your pricing. Folks, make your guests life EASY.
@@dwightbrown You can try this, but there are some things to consider: 1. **Lack of Transparency**: Guests may feel misled without a clear fee breakdown. 2. **Booking Deterrence**: Non-pet owners might avoid higher fees, reducing bookings. 3. **Pricing Complexity**: Adjusting costs accurately becomes harder. 4. **Pet-Specific Costs**: Pets cause extra wear, needing distinct fees. 5. **Regulatory Compliance**: Insurance and local rules might require separate fees.

This has to be the best topic around Airbnb now. from my latest experience TWICE, it always happens.
Really! That's so frustrating. Did you end up with two bad reviews?
@@ThanksForVisiting No, luckily enough the reservations that were seen to be available were simply declined.
@@matthewlyonsakadeathtodogs5730 Glad it worked it!
And vice versa, how can I lock the date on Airbnb? My client wants to lock the date on Airbnb outside of it, from its website.
I also added to-go coffee cups to our suite. Sort of stumbled upon them at a wholesale store when I was looking for individual milks and creamers. Thought it would be a great thing to offer. First month in and only once have they been used but I like the idea they are available if needed. Also, after about 50 people through our suite I am surprised that the keurig has been used more than anything else and that medium coffee has easily been the most consumed. As a dark roast fan I just assumed a lot of people like strong coffee but so far it's by far medium. Very little tea had (from a lot of options) and no decaf used yet.
Awesome. Like you mentioned, if even just a couple people use the to-go cups, that's still people who needed it and it's easy to keep up the supply! Great job. Dark roast coffee fans unite!⭐🙌

Thanks for this idea! Where is the option in the Airbnb interface to create a parent listing for my 2 listings that I want to combine into a 3rd large listing? Is there a way to autocopy all the photos and details from both listings and merge that into this 3rd listing? Thanks in advance!
Did you just delete my comment?
This did work, BUT an odd glitch I encountered was that the auto-generated link from AirBNB took forever to show up - like, entire multiple minutes, once I refreshed the page because it was not showing up. If anyone else experiences that, refresh the page and let it sit open for awhile and hopefully it will generate a link eventually.
Thanks for the tip! I'm glad it worked for you.
