Eric Siu breaks down a 4-step marketing plan for Airbnb: spend 90 days auditing reviews and Reddit to find what guests want, analyze competitors with SimilarWeb, pick one distribution channel to own, then run three tests per week to find what works.
If I had to create a marketing plan for Airbnb, here's exactly what I would do. Step 1, research audit 90 days of comments, reviews, and Reddit threads. You wanna tag the top 5 desires and the top 5 complaints. Step 2, you wanna analyze your competitors. Enter competitors' websites, reveal their strengths, weaknesses, and strategy. Identify gaps you can fill to stand out. I recommend using SimilarWeb for this. Number 3, pick a channel. Whether it's YouTube videos, blog posts, or banners, you can only be good at one thing. Instead of diversifying your efforts, focus your energy on one channel. And you wanna nail it before you scale it. Pick a channel where your audience hangs out and where you can post consistently. Step 4, testing phase. You wanna run 3 tests per week. Keep winners, cut the rest. I've helped brands like this grow their revenue and ROI in record time.
