Short YouTube commentary by Mark Simpson arguing that direct bookings are unsuitable for hobbyist hosts; he recommends that only hosts who treat hosting as their primary business should pursue direct bookings, while casual or spare-room hosts should stick to OTAs (online travel agencies).
Direct bookings will not be for you. If this is like a hobby for yourself, in my personal opinion. And what is a hobbyist host is somebody that where this isn't your main priority. Let's say that you've got three or four splits, pinning, you've got three or four revenue streams and there's three more that take up more time, attention, money, resources than your one property. That's totally cool. If you literally are looking at this as just my spare place, it's my spare room, whatever, then stick to the OTAs. The people that I say that I help the most are those where this is your business, this is your main focus.
