CELEBRATING 400 episodes of the Boostly Podcast

Wow. 400 episodes. 400 episodes of the Boostly podcast. Thank you so much to everybody that has been with us since the start, since episode one. Doesn't matter whether you've been with me for years or whether you've just recently discovered the Boosted podcast, I just want to say thank you so much for subscribing, for liking, for engaging and most importantly, sharing the content so other hosts can discover and find out more about about what we're trying to do here. What are we trying to do here exactly? I want to help 1 million hosts increase their direct bookings and cut down on their over Reliance on Airbnb, booking.com VRBO and any third party. So it's all about direct bookings and we are doing this through daily free podcasts. We've got a hospitality community, there's a daily blog, we've got all of the social media channels posting. So there's free help for hosts all over the world. Doesn't matter what stage of the journey they are in. And if you've not yet joined the hospitality community, go on to Facebook, type in hospitality community. It's got over 6,500 hosts. It's one of the most engaged groups on Facebook with 92% average engagement. So that means it's a community of hosts that doesn't matter what question you have, there'll be somebody in there who'll be able to give you some fantastic advice. For those that want more, I wanted to take this episode 400 to just give you a very quick overview of what Boostly does. So Boostly is separated into three different areas. There is Boostly websites, which right now you can get a brand new direct booking website that is guaranteed to get your return of investment or your money back. Boostly website.com go check that out. Booking a call. We'll see if we're a good fit for each of them. There is Boostly academy. So boostly academy.com that is the training side of what I do. So if you think that this is good, wait till you see what's behind the curtain on the Boostly Academy. And uh, it gives you all of the advice in more depth, in more detail, over the shoulder record and showing you exactly how to do it over 80 hours worth of content which evolves around the five key aspects of marketing your business. Email, social media, Google, SEO, website and word of mouth. So we focus on those five key areas and we've got over 700 other hosts in a Facebook group for accountability, for communication, for community. And we also as well, I Bring in experts from all over the world for exclusive zoom calls. And then finally we haveboostly content creator.com. this is something that we more recently created and the reason being is that I talk about hosts having to post on social media every single day to be sending out emails at least once a month. And the big kickback that I had was mark all sounds amazing. I haven't got the time and I haven't got the, the knowledge on how to do so. So we went and created it for you. 30 to 40 pieces of fresh content every single month for your social media. We've got email templates that are ready to copy, paste, personalize and send right now. And we've got a headline generator tool for the OTAs and for your website and we also have video content as well. So it's all in there, it's all packed. It's five pound a month. There's no contract, you can cancel at any time, but for literally £5amonth it's a couple of Starbucks coffees and it's the same price. And it will mean that you never have to think again about content for your social medias and emails. So that is how Boost is broken down. The it all started in 2016 when I wanted to help hosts in the local area. I wanted to give them a resource so they could get help when it comes to marketing the property and, and my frustration of nothing being available. And it started from there and it has grown and grown and grown to be something which is now worldwide. So thank you very much to everybody who has joined in on the journey. Again, I'm not going to stop until I've helped 1 million hosts increase their diary bookings, but also as well re educated one their guests because again, if we can help educate hosts and educate guests at a power book direct, then what we're going to do is we're going to get the OTAs to stand up and pay attention to us, lower their commission rates, give us more powers, treat us more like the partners that they say they do. All right, I'll be back tomorrow with another episode of the boostly podcast. Episode 401 will be tomorrow. If this is the first time that you stopped by, it's not all like this.
