Airbnb hosts. Your airbnb listing has 8 main areas to review/change to make it perform better.
roll away beds are so unconfortable. Only feasible for kids maybe. But imagine a 60 years old in it? as a host it is a big NO.
Then you should try THIS one. amzn.to/3cLFa1S
@@AirbnbAutomated Thanks but can't find that one in Europe (France to be specific)
@@ASerreCoggins JYSK actually has 3 types from low to high quality roll away beds, I've worked there, but not sure if IKEA has more than 1.
Not true we have two twin rollaways with foam mattresses 4 inches thick. My husband who’s a big fella slept on them twice while prepping our b&b’s and he said they’re real comfortable
@@AirbnbAutomated Hello, that fold away bed is unavailable on Amazon. Is there another you recommend?
Loving your commitment to your business. Keep working hard and staying consistent! I love your work ethic.
Thanks for the great info not only in this video but all you have posted. We greatly appreciate you sir.
Do most of this out of common sense but you showed me a few I was not aware of. Thank you for your time and tips!! Very appreciated and helps me feel I’m part of something and not out here all by myself working this.
So much information here that is gold, Thank you for sharing.
Been kind of worried about not meeting occupancy goals but I believe I’m ready now. Thanks g
I learned soo much valuable information from this video. Thanks Sean.
Your information is invaluable. I just re-listed my downstairs after listening to your videos for awhile. Remodeled the room, added to my rustic theme, changed the title, spruced up the bedding, coffee station, etc. Same room, completely different look, great pictures AND pricing strategy. It's winter so it's slow, and I"m not in a high-demand area like you are. But I just made $170 my first booking and it's from ONE couple, ONE stay. AND I'm only open on the weekends. I worked my ass off last time for the same amount of money :(
You are right but you are also not right.
You need to spend a few hours and become a pro yourself. How occupied are your competitors? You should post this on the Facebook Group (see video description, usually there)
Inspiring! Thank you!
When I changed my listing to include W/Fast WIFI my bookings went up. Most places in my area don't have very good wifi. Once I build my outdoor sauna this spring I will be including that in my listing title!
Thank you Sean for everything.
I launched one of my units in Dec. and for January was 75% booked while the median is 25% booked in my area. For this month, I have 52% booked but my gross is is $100 higher than January. I did screw myself for Valentines day. Someone took that weekend for cheap before I realized that my listing was getting 4-5 times more traffic for those dates.
Planning to add a pull-out sofa bed soon instead of the air mattress I currently have. Then in the listing it will show 2 beds rather than 1 with hosting for 4.
Thank you again!
Cheers from Alaska
Thanks Sean!!! I had a new catastrophe this last week in one of my homes in north Dallas. Vivint smart home security system was hacked while guests were in home. Garage door up and down, thermostat began changing radically to 88 and then 58 and siren on and off for instant burglary alarm! Panicked guests beyond comprehension. Vivint claims not possible for this to occur, as my app showed I was the one doing this to the house! Got guests out and moved to a new one getting ready to list with help of 8 awesome friends in four hours! Move guests, and now we are good. Vivint finally agreed to remove and waive lease and future payments. Never ever considered something like this before. Love this new video and ideas! I do most, but the roll away beds are a great idea too!
We are NEw, with Evolve, smart pricing. wonder about the difference? we cannot make price changes
Evolve is just terrible don’t do it
Make sure with google photos, you get permission from the photographer to use them or get licence free photos. I’ve known hosts get big bills from annoyed photographers
Excellent! thanks
Let’s do this !!!
You had me at wicked awesome
Thank you very much for all great tips and see in Dubai!
On the way! (At some point)
@@AirbnbAutomated Sounds good. Keep in mind that season is mid Oct to April.
Thank you!!!!
Hiii Sean thanks for your videos !! I would like to know how do you deal with seasonality ? It’s hard to get tourists in winter for the city I am operating. Do you have any suggestions to solve this problem ? Than you so much I learned a lot from your videos
Amazing tips ah
Thanks a lot for doing what you do "brate", highly appreciated! I just set up my first rental this June that's linked to our new house and we are highly in debt to all sorts of people now. This has been my little dream ever since I learned about STR's and my fiance (the Boss) gave me until the end of July. My question is..
What would I need to do to get you to look at my listing and hopefully give some dirty tips? I get that it's not free, but it would be cool if you could help out. Thanks... Ben if Norway 🇳🇴😁🙏🏽
Thanks for putting this together Sean.
love how you use a green screen but add sound background as well:-)
I went from 20% booked to 71% booked in 4 days since watching this video. Thank you 😢🥹🙏🏿
eXCELLENT CALL BACK TO MOVING UP IN WEIGHT CLASS.
Good video
Take note that short term rental insurance for 1 night rentals is very much higher. We decided not to go that route so our min is 2 night. Hosts need to check their insurance before offering 1 night.
Interesting, I am still trying to find an insurance company that would take any nights stay.. I tried Proper and they've turned me down
Why insurance do you have
Video is Amazing, It will be great if you separate your video by topics like some videos make it where they show you for example from minute 1 30 to minute 3 it has a tittle that says minimum stay So that one that wants to know another topic can know it before listening to the whole video
Thanks Sean. Would you take on a property that is in a good location in regards to transport, shopping centre, links to city centre and work in the area.... If the road it’s on is very rough, doesn’t look nice from the outside and tends to have scummy neighbours.
In the UK. Curiosity question I’ve been thinking about.
We started in January 2020 and are already at a break even for February. But this is great info and will implement these right away. Thanks Sean you are the best.
My first place isn't ready to start booking yet. Should I be working on the listing on paper, now? 💜🌞🌵
Sean, what is your view on offering orphan dates at a discount to your guests who have booked on either side of the orphan date?
Sean I ❤️ U
Thanks Sean!
I thought your shirt was super wrinkled until I realized that is the pattern!😅
great video!
Is dislike this dude so much but he provides GOLD for information.
Lol wondered if I was alone...
Is it worth it to put a 4 bedroom house as a 1 night minimum stay? I haven’t got a booking for 3 months.
I duplicated a listing that will go live in about one month time.I'm I gonna loose AirBnB-boosting of the new listing?
Do you recommend turning instant book off even with the new cancellation policy? When you go to turn it off, one of the 'warnings' informs Hosts that with Instant Book on, Hosts can cancel with no penalty.
Sean can you give me details of your camera?
Sean - your graphic at about 11:00 minute mark has the word people spelled incorrectly.
Dang.. I thought I proofread before finalizing. Thanks for the heads up
I would NEVER do instant booking. I have to know who is staying in my home. But then i have a unique waterfront property in high demand. If they wanna stay here, they'll pay the higher price and they'll pay the cleaning fee. The "competition" isn't even in the same league. And if they can't afford the price i'm asking for, i'd rather they stay somewhere else ... 😆 I have a 5.0 rating and raving reviews 👍i'd rather have a month unoccupied but always great guests than fully booked all the time and problem guests ... maximum occupancy is TWO people 👋
How about a two night minimum? Party throwers take advantage of no minimum stay.
Hey Sean, i have my listing for $90 a night and $50 of cleaning fee.
House got free parking, wifi, laundry, kitchen, pool, backyard, bbq station. 5 rooms, 5.5 bathrooms ( each room is about 25 to 35 mt2.)
December was 70% occupancy but jan and feb has been tough with 15%. It's a big house but i'm not sure if it's still too expensive for people. Should i go down?
David Kim Where are you located?
December is always a big month and Jan-Feb are really slow.
DIdn't quite understand your cancellation policy explanation. Are you saying that you recommend selecting moderate and strict cancellation policy or not?
Yes. Now firm or strict
How to know if others are booked at 80%
If my price is $65.00 a night , and my cleaner charges $75.00, one night stay isn't worth it for me.
Sean when are you releasing your course? very interested in your product over anyone else’s . I have enough money to start and found the perfect apartment complex . Just need direction.
You should get started even without a full paid course. I’ll be here. Take it a step at a time
FTDARtz make a list and start checking things off.
1. Find out if short term renting is allowed in your area. No sense in getting kitted up and then find out it’s illegal.
2. Rent your space! This will put pressure on you to move to step two because you are not making money.
It also gives you a place to work out of while you’re unboxing stuff and setting up the decor.
3. Make a furniture list for each room. If you need ideas, go to Pinterest and just count items in the pictures of decorated rooms you find appealing.
4. Purchase or rent you furniture. There’s are a few options in regard to furnishing your rental, Buy, lease or thrift store.
Remember, leased furniture is a tax write off at the end of the year.
5. Take your photos and create your listing.
6. Figure out who your customer is and market your listing accordingly to them directly.
7. Clean, clean, clean and then clean again. It has to be immaculate. The most critical error you can make is NOT being clean.
8. Set up a separate bank account and send all your bookings to that account. It will give you a Visa debit card and you can keep easy accounting by running all purchases and charges through that card. The banking app from Bank of American is really handy. It shows cash flows and categorizes purchases.
9. Fill the roles in your organization. Who’s doing the housekeeping? Who’s handling the reservations and guest interactions?
10. Set your place up and go through a mock run, inviting your friends to stay at your place to criticize your operation and help you get the kinks out.
Good luck but seriously the best advice is just “do something “. Any type of positive action, just “do something”.
Another typo - check ‘allowing’ in the graphic at about the 20:40 mark.
What is SCO?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization
Where can I get of hold you and have you look over my listing and see if you can help me?
I was looking to stay in Philly a few years ago and kept running across places that had cleaning fees of $100-$150. I skipped those, so cleaning fees were definitely a factor.
That's what a good cleaner costs.

What if you have a two bedroom here in Texas you could have three adults per bedroom. However you only have one restroom and you have six people staying there... That is a nightmare I've stayed at a place like that. Six of us adults was staying in a two bedroom with one bathroom I woke up needing to go to the restroom really badly... My family member stayed in the restroom for a whole hour even though we all talked about it the night before to stay less amount of time. I ended up going to a McDonald's nearby just to go to the restroom.
So even if you can have more guests stay at the place it might not be idea you have to think about those others who may need to use the restroom if there's only one restroom. Please don't do this to your guest.
I have had 3/1 apartments do great in Texas
That is something the guests are considering when they book. Allow the guests to decide
@@AirbnbAutomated okay.
I appreciate your opinions.
Were you a wrestler?....Move up in your weight class?
For extra exposure, use emojis in your title
Does that work against or for your listing? I heard it wasn't a good thing to do.
That doesn't look very professional.
The market is saturated!!!
Sorry but most of his videos are important but extremely hard to understand. poorly explained and underprepared. improvisation is not a good idea to get your point across.
Yep. all of my videos are unscripted. I just talk. So you have to follow the ramblings of a madman
@@AirbnbAutomated Thank you for all you do, but then, I rather skip your videos. But I think this is your strategy to poke at people's interest so they can buy your conferences. Nothing wrong with it, except for those who cannot afford your interesting conferences. Regardless, Thank you so much for your efforts.
Maybe Airbnb should make better efforts to help us with more efficient and host friendly videos.
I don’t sell conferences. You really haven’t watched my videos
@@AirbnbAutomated Please do not be offended, I feel only respect for you. I have seen about 6 videos with important information, yet I feel the strategies presented are many times poorly explained and I struggle to understand them promptly so I can move on to other videos. I remember you said you charged for some presentations, but again it was hard to understand you as you were skipping from point to point without apparent transitions. Your timing is unnecessarily rather fast and I think you are keenly aware of it. Regardless, I have learn some important things. I want to express myself because I really want to learn from you as you have so much to offer. Thank you for listening and for bringing up many issues which otherwise would have not been aware of.
@@AirbnbAutomated lmao
