Short YouTube interview clip (uploaded by Mark Simpson, Apr 12, 2020) describing "Hubster" (branded as Hubstr in title) — a platform for short-term/vacation rental professionals intended to form a free, worldwide community to share information, content, webinars/courses, events, best practices, and job opportunities. The speaker notes Hubster was started in December (prior year), originated with Deborah Laby, and that progress was temporarily slowed due to the virus while the speaker focused on helping people in Italy. The invite is for industry stakeholders (property managers, hosts) to join and grow the community.
Chapters
Could you please just in simplistic terms, just explain what Hubster is, how it could benefit the vacation rental work. Hubster means up for short term rentals. And the idea comes out together with Deborah Laby, maybe you know her in Sydney. There are a lot of property managers, there are a lot of people doing vacation rental, but there's no associations. There's nothing that put together the people in the vacation rental industry. So we thought what about designing a product, a platform, something that can bring together people from all over the world, people that matter in vacation rental industry and put them together in a sort of community where they can, you know, share information, share content, even share, you know, co courses, webinars, events on a unique platform. And we call it Hubster. Basically that's it. It's like, you know, a way to put together a lot of knowledge, info from the industry, best practices and anything related to vacation rental, even opportunities, job opportunities and things like this in one community. And we started it back in December. I have to say that we, because of the virus, will sort of abandon it because now I'm focusing on helping people in Italy because they need my help. This is something that we need to. Grew, need to grow with you guys, even you, Mark, and all the people that matter in the vacation rental, everyone that want to join this community absolutely for free. We want to create a worldwide community of people that really want to share anything related with vocational rental in the community.
