I'm Sasha and I run Jesuit Properties.
My name is Plaxie Braginska. Liam from Ginger and Gold.
I'm Lizzie. I'm Louise. My name's Jodie. I joined about a year ago and I joined because I was pretty much at the beginning of my business and I really wanted as much help as I could get with the marketing side of things and getting direct bookings.
We didn't really have any idea of the hospitality world. We're not in hospitality. We were running a successful apartment on Airbnb and booking.com but we wanted to increase our direct bookings.
I was an Airbnb host. I'm a super host. I have a successful business. I'm pretty much fully booked most days of the month. Why would I need to join the Boostly Academy? Well, I was really intrigued about getting direct bookings and learning how to get direct bookings because I was relying on Airbnb. I joined the Boostly Academy because, well, actually I thought it was a no brainer at the time. It was a one off fee for a lifetimes membership. Our bookings were coming in steadily but we were heavily relying on the OTAs.
I would not be working on the growth of my business if it was not for Mark Simpson. The Boostly community has kept need company on my darkest day.
I love the fact that the content and everything in the back office would be there when I needed it. Further down the line, Mark had the offer to join the Boostly Academy. I undeniard, but I thought, well, it's an investment. You've got a business, you've got to invest in it. So I invested in it and I haven't looked back. And it really does do what it says on the tin. It's given us the tools, the tips and the tricks to massively improve our business.
When we joined Boostly, we were looking at about £30,000 for the year. Now we're heading into the region of £500,000 for the year. Since joining Mark, we have taken over £36,000 in direct bookings. Before joining that it was under £2,000.
All I want to let you know is join the Bruce Lee Academy. It's awesome.
You won't look back and let's do this.
You're frustrated. A source of consternation. You're struggling to rent accommodation. You be not rubbing hands with glee. You're being screwed over by Airbnb and booking dot com. They're not nice to the hosts. No, by far not the most taking high commission costs. They be presenting you and taking all that percent should be into your bank account. And maybe you don't know how to use social media to grow and get the bookings coming direct. Well, don't worry, I'll explain what comes next. You, yeah, you're gonna be glad you heard a rap from me. I'm explaining. That's an academy. Oh like an orange. So juicy. Gotta look at that thing by Bruce Lee. That's the three T's tools, tactics and training to give you the confidence. That's a no brainin' you get weekly group coaching, 500 people. That's the most in. Let me say this, going through it. You know that he's the Martin Lewis for the hospitality owners. Yeah. Not dumb like Homer Simpson, not the guy from the past. There's a vault of online training videos that will last you for a long time. Teaching you how to master Facebook, Instagram and what comes after marketing by email, the pricing, branding, Google so you don't fail. And here's another thing that you ought to see. If you don't get a return, there's a money back guarantee.
What?
Yeah. You can't top that on your investment or you get your cash back. Sounds like a deal, sounds like a steal. And that's the Bruce Lee academy that I reveal.
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and welcome for the finale of this week, the finale of the training, the finale of everything GPT. I really hope that you are good wherever you are. This is obviously the wrapper party. I did say, let me put this down a little bit. I did say to make sure you bring some bubbles with you. Non alcoholic or alcoholic or you know if you're tuning from America you might be on a strong coffee. I've got this this evening, see if this can show. So everybody cheers, well done and let me know your numbers, let me know your numbers. You're looking number between 1 and 10 because we will do a spin the wheel at a final final one of the week. Get it all in. But before we do that I want to do a very, very quick thank you to the ambassadors. We've got Melanie, we've got Tracy and we've got. If you could all just spend a little second to saying thank you in the comments and tap that love hat emoji button as many times as possible, that would be amazing. Thank you to them. We really couldn't do this without them and so it is much appreciative as my beer is overflowed. So it's been amazing. So thank you very much. They answer all the questions and they do loads of work behind the scenes making sure that you know exactly where to go and where to be, which is, which is great. So it's been fantastic for that and I wanted to share my screen quickly because I wanted to go through some of your wins. So if we go into the group and as you can see here, a post I put up 21 hours ago asking for your wins of of the week. So I'll go for a few. Now, number one, harrow the process of finding the guest avatar and how to expand on questions, the various platforms and just seeing what we can do with all this stuff. Some of it needs more development as outcome is poor, but it is pretty amazing. I mean, yes, it is, it is, is crazy. But I, as I keep saying this is not the be on end all this is just a tool to help. But seeing that it is free and it. And it can do a lot of stuff for free is, is great. It's going to help so many startups and small businesses massively. And this is just the beginning. I've got a video to show you which is about one minute long, but it's going to show you what's coming next and it's going to pretty much blow your mind really with what could potentially happen next. Jeremy, tons of wins. I'm getting better asking questions, work in progress. But I'm learning he's got his own prompt here so you can go and check that out, which is fantastic. Which obviously got a couple of replies and I was also talking about how you could potentially use it to do a digital guidebook. So use it for your touch day digital guidebooks, Wendy. So win, which is what I love to see. Two direct bookings yesterday after sending email templates to our guest. Three more followers on Instagram after using chat GPT. So this is again, we do this training to learn, but if on the back of it we can achieve direct bookings, all the better for it. And Wendy got two. I know Lizzie got a few. I know so many people who've got a lot. You know, I know Rose got, you know, $15,000 worth, which is amazing, which is fantastic. Zoe. So many light bulb moments. I've used chat to help me write a blog, a listing. So yeah, we didn't really touch upon this, but you can use it for your Airbnb listing, you can use it for Your Verbo, your booking.com list in your title on, on things like Airbnb. You know, if you're struggling with copy and filling those bo, you can, you can Definitely, definitely do. So just a little reminder, Boostly Academy members is a brand new video going in. I was very lucky to to interview one of the leading Airbnb experts and we went and dug into all of the latest changes and all of the things that you need to be looking out for and we went into that in detail. It's going up in the Boostly Academy very soon, so make sure you do go and check that. Tracy's loving the win. So Trace is obviously one of the moderators, which was amazing. Thank you, Tracy. Win from Nikki. The training has encouraged me to just keep playing with technology. Tonight I feel like I've been on a date with Chat GPT. It's, it's been really great at helping me write a Valentine's message that was all inclusive. But have, but what have you started? I apologize. And did the post as well. Good. Remember, it's all about prompts. Amy. I had problems with mailchimp so I extended the discount for book day for another day. Received an inquiry. No booking yet. But doing the dishes. So if anybody has joined on one of the previous challenges we did, that became sort of like the, the motto. The motto throughout it doing the dishes. Claire getting better, asking questions. Linda, she's learned loads and John has also learned loads as well. He's generated a better website tagline Experience Park City, Utah and Salt Lake City. Perfect short term rentals for your stay. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing, which is exactly what we what we love to see. Don't forget, if you can't get on Chat GPT, there is other solutions. I've given you all of them over the course of this week and there's much, much more. If you want to check out a really cool website that is giving you the latest and the sort of the new things that are coming, check out Futurepedia. It's called Futurepedia I.O. futurepedia I.O. and that's where there's loads of new tools submitted. They've got the popular ones on there, etc, as well. So if you can't get into Chat GPT then you can get into others. Right, before we do the final wheel of Fortune, we have got some winners to announce. Number one, we did the 24 hour implementation giveaway where I set a challenge from Thursday 12pm GMT to Friday 12pm GMT and it was all about taking action. And then once you've done that, you went and posted the links in and I just picked somebody at random from that. Now we do have a winner. Let's make sure that this is working. So the winner of. Let me see if I can get my. Drum roll right. So let me know. Give me a yes. Can you hear this? Did you hear that? Give me a yes. In the chat if you did. Did you hear that? Yes, you did. Brilliant. All right, so here we go, the drum. The winner, the winner of the 24 hour implementation was Harrow. Mr. Harrow. Dosh Harrow. If you could just please say hi in the chat. If you are with us live, if you are not with us live and you're going to get a lot of tags. If someone could tag him in, please, in the, in the chat. That would be lovely at Harrow if you can, if you can do that for us. Oh, he's here. There he is. Brilliant. Okay, Harrow, you have won the, the hospitable swag box and you have won a ticket to the big Bruce Lee bash. So for those of you are wondering what the big boostly bash is. Let me see if I can share my screen a sec. Do this. So the big Bruce Lee bash is coming up in November, November 14th and it's going to be at York. We've got Robbie Williams tribute act, we've got ABBA tribute act and there's gonna be tons of funds, tons of games and I'm organizing loads and loads as we go. We're gonna have the hospitality community awards which the moderators are organizing and, and so, so, so much more. So Harrow, you got my friend. Well done you. All right, next, next, next, next. We have got the action taker. So we've got two awards. We've got the best action taker and the most engaged. So the, the top action taker and the most engaged. So we'll go with the action taker first. Okay. Action taker first has been somebody that has, has definitely stood out. I asked in, in our sort of WhatsApp group chat with the, with the ambassadors and everybody was throwing out loads of names and I sort of went away and I just sort of took and I sort of looked at it and this one chap has definitely stood out for me. But there was a lot of people taking action, which is what I love. But there's always this one person that just shines through a little bit more than others. And the person who wins this action take reward, you've got a real special prize. So I mentioned on yesterday and today that Rose Kipka was able to generate $15,000 worth of diary bookings. And one thing that Rose has done really well this year, the niche that she's created over the last 12 months is working with influencers now. I reached out to Rose and I asked if she would be comfortable doing a one on one zoom call, walking through exactly how she has mastered this skill because it has really helped boost her diary bookings and she's very kindly offered it. So I thought it would be perfect for the action take of the week to speak with Rose and have a one on one zoom call. So Jeremy Rossin at Jeremy Ross and if you could everybody tag him in at Jeremy Rossum, that would be amazing. Jeremy, you have won the action taker. Can we all give him a round of applause? Jeremy, you have won that. Brilliant. So if you. What I'll do. Jeremy, when you manage to catch this, if you. I will send you an email and I'll introduce you to Rose directly and then you can organize yourselves a time, which is. Which is fantastic. And we've got one more. One more word. So it's the most engaged. The most engaged. And this one has been amazing because I know that he's been working all week as well in his. In his other job and. But for him to be the most engaged has been very, very, very impressive indeed. And the winner of this is going to win six months of free subscription to Price Labs. So I am literally cleaning up this beer that spill as I am doing this for six months of Price Labs. Six months of Price Labs. It is the guys. The guys have had a clean sweep Harrow, Jeremy, and this one, a big round of applause. To Mr. Robert Collins. Let me tag in, Robert. Let's tag in. Right, so that means that if the. I know Shirley's there saying, girls, it's not us again, but congratulations, Robert, you've got six months of free subscription to Price Labs. I will set you up with the. The person that you need to speak to and you'll get Price Labs, which is the pricing dynamic software tool. Well done, Robert. Right then, ladies, if you're feeling a little bit left out, let's see if we can get a winner in the Wheel of Fortune, shall we? So let me share my screen. Let me do this, let me do that. And let me share this. Hey, Rob, you're there in the chat. Lovely. All right, final chance. Lucky numbers. Number one to number 10. This is the final time that we are going to do this and you've got in the next 30 seconds to get your numbers in. All right, get your numbers in. Number three, number one and number eight. I could have a lot of fun with those soundboards. All right. Robert, he's feeling brave. He's, he's having a guess on Wheel of Fortune. I think, Shirley, I'll have you if you win. All right, here we go. So put a number in. Remember, you know what's going to happen. I'm going to spin this wheel. If you guessed a lucky number, email me, please email me. It was a lot better than Instagram. Email was so much easier to do the admin on. So email marketbooster.co.uk if you win the the lucky number. All right, here we go. We'll spin this wheel the final time this week. Was it number nine last night? I feel like it was. No, it's free last night. Number nine. We've definitely had nine this week. So if you guess lucky number nine, lucky number nine, Robert, you can breathe a sigh of relief. So if you've got lucky number nine, email markooselee.co.uk Email Markusley.co.uk Please don't message me on Instagram. It's so much easier to go through in the subject headline, put lucky number nine. Subject heading lucky number nine. I will go and check. So I forgot to tell you what the prize is actually. So this is the prize. This is pretty cool. So you are gonna get a one on one Zoom call with suite up now. Sweetop got in charge, got in touch and they said that they would love to have one of their experts go over with a short term rental host or a hospitality host and to go over their systems and the structures that they've got in place and to help them with what they could potentially put in place. Totally free Zoom call. No upsell, no sales call at the end of it. It's a pure support call just to help and guide you, show you where the best place for you would be. You know, you may have some systems and structures in place but they may be able to guide you on something that will be much more better suited. So that's the first one and the second one is a digital guidebook, one year membership with Orana Stay digital guidebook. So Orana Stay new digital guidebook on the scenes and Arana got in contact with me on LinkedIn. So thank you for around for doing it. Thank you for sweet up again. They've donated, very kindly donated that prize. So you will win both of them if you had a lucky winner. It's been, it's been an amazing week. Who won yesterday's Wheel of Fortune? Oh, my days. Somebody. It was called Isis Love. Isis Love got in, they won. Their name popped out Christ, I, I hope I've just said the right name then. I've not said the wrong one, but. But yeah, I know was definitely ISIS Love. Let me just check my emails. Why do I look at comments when I'm not entirely sure? Yeah, it was ISIS love book with ISIS Love. So she won yesterday. So well done, isis. Right, so what have we got to do tonight? Well, first and foremost, what I wanted to do. I want to give a present to everybody. Everybody who is taking part and tuning in live with us tonight. Everybody go and check the comments in this thread. Okay? Okay. Don't check the comments in this red. One second. I am going to. My gift to you is a hundred prompts that you can use with Instagram. So this is a hundred prompts that you can have a little play around with over the course of the weekend or whenever. You can save these and you can give it a good go. I have to split this up into a couple. What I'm going to do is I'm going to put it in the post afterwards. This is something you can copy and you can paste and you can use at any time. There we go. First 50 are in and I'll put the other 50 in as well. So I'll do that now so it's in the comments. So you can just copy it and paste it. Don't worry, I'll send you a copy on an email everybody and I'll put it in the comments in the post above as well. And it's all in there. So you basically have got a hundred prompts on how to use chat GPT with Instagram and if you enjoy Instagram, if you enjoy Instagram, then in April, Mr. Paul Anderson has very kindly agreed, the social media hotel has kindly agreed to come back to do five days of Instagram training because he has got something new to show you, which is exciting. I'm gonna be meeting up with Paul next, next month. We're gonna hash up a plan, hash out a plan even. And then, and then, yeah, we're going to put it all into play in, in April, which is pretty cool. Instagram have made some pretty big changes recently and it's definitely going to impact hospitality and short term rental businesses. So I'm excited for him to play around with it over the course of the next two, two months and then we can come back in, in sort of middle of April and, and do some cool what's next of this group? So this is very important. The group is going to stick around. All of the content is going to Stay in this group, the comments are going to get closed off. So what that means is that you can come in, re watch the videos, you can click on the links, you can get all of the things, but you won't be able to ask questions. Which is, which is fair enough. But the group will stay, the content will stay, it'll be visible for all. You can invite people in and they can check it out as well. Because I've really enjoyed this week and I think it's opened up a lot of people's eyes. It can be very scary, it can be very daunting when we do things like this. But I feel like this week it's, we've covered a lot of the most important factors when it comes to how we can import it and how we can use it in our business. Like the avatar thing for me the other night was really good. I'm really enjoyed doing that and I loved all your comments and the messages and the feedback on that and, and the, and what's coming next is, is going to be pretty crazy. So I'm going to share my screen. I'll spin the wheel. So there's this video here. This is what I want for you to see. Not so much the video itself, but listen to the, listen to the sound. So give me a quick, give me a quick. Yes, I'm going to quickly start playing this. Let me know if you can hear this.
Not two, but three.
Did you, did you just hear that? Yes or no? You should be able to.
So amazing language.
Yeah.
Google.
Okay, so this is what Google is about to do next. I watched this video and I, and I really wanted to play it to you.
Has not one, not two, but three amazing language models on the way and a bunch of other AI models that are state of the art in their respective fields like code and image generators. Google is about to kill ChatGPT and all the hype around it. Almost a week ago, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, issued a quote red over ChatGPT's impact on Google's search engine business. And as for an army of AI developers to roll out products as soon as possible, ChatGPT just provoked the beast. Google is not gonna sit around and watch people calling their search engine outdated. While their AI model is actually several years ahead of OpenAI's GPT. GPT3 itself is based on Google's transformer architecture that they introduce online almost six years ago. If you thought for a second that Google is the one in trouble in the age of AI, let me just tell You, Google's AI is about to come out of the chrysalis after more than a decade of research and development. And when they come out, the world will never be the same again.
Okay, obviously very YouTubey, obviously very grabbing your attention and all that cool stuff, but it is very, very true. The data that Google has compared to open AI is, is massive. And so you right now learning about this, you right now figuring out what it is at this, at this early level, you are ahead of 99.9 of other people I've been messaging friends, peers this week who, who, who I feel like are some of the best in this industry. And I've said, oh, did you, have you been messing around with GPT? And I've just said, what's, what's, what's, what's a GPT? So you are so ahead of the game. It is crazy. And some of the tools that you have access to right now, I, I know for a fact so many people don't even know about. So keep it, no, no, keep it to yourself. Take advantage of the fact and put it into practice. You know, there is now no excuse to not have a blog. There's no excuse to not be posting something on social media every day. There's not an excuse to have empty boxes in your Airbnb description in the back end because. And there's no excuse to not have a website with, with decent, decent copy, you know, because it is, the tools are available and it's right there and you've got access to everything. And this is why I'd love doing this. Because instead you trying to shift through hours upon hours of YouTube videos trying to figure it out. We've been able to take it all and I've been able to show you it, how we can do it in our world, which is how we can be impacted right now, which is, which is awesome. And for those of you don't want to find out more, want to work closely with Boost. Lee, obviously we've got the, the challenge offer that is, that is sticking around till 9 o' clock tonight. The challenge offer is very simple. Get a ticket to the big Boostly bash. No, not that one. That's gone now. So ignore that. That's gone. Ignore that. Light website and access to eight hours of accredited training, lifetime social media, 90 day boot camp. You get a website, all this, all the cool stuff and it can start for just a pound today. That's literally it. That will go at 9 o'. Clock. It's going to expire. This is a challenge Off. If everybody's been taking part and clock, you can join but you'll have to go and do it via the official website and you won't get all the challenge bonuses on there as well. And it's a different payment plan. So if you've been sat on the fence and I know a few people have been owing an hour in it, then now is the chance to do it. I'll send out one more email to everybody because I know there's been a few people being very interested. I've seen you all clicking on the links and everywhere where you're going. So if this is you, then you know, if you've got any questions, you know where to find me. I'll be online between half eight and nine o' clock answering emails. I got to get the kids to bed first and obviously we're gonna have to after that. If you miss out, then that's cool. We will be doing another one of these another time. But you know, if you want to get ahead, I've got free new. Let me see if I can show it. I've got some new pieces of content coming into the vault behind the scenes. I think you can see this. Yeah, you can. So I've just been adding new videos, some around GPT and some around medium term rentals, some around other bits and bobs. This is a really cool one that I want everybody to go check out. Everybody who's in the Boostly academy. How to create your own logo using AI. That's a really good one. How to never lose a customer again and how to get listed on on Open Rent so out and also this one as well. So there's four new videos that's been dropped in, which is cool and it's great to see so many new people joining, which has been fantastic. So yeah, you've got a couple miles to do about booster.co.uk forward/join. Send me an email if you've got any questions about that. Now, obviously there's been a few people who said, listen, I just can't, can't do it, not right now, but it's absolutely cool. If anybody just wants to not join, but wants to say thank you in some way for this week, there is a link here which is basically where you can just buy me a coffee, I love my coffee. You can just go to buymeacoffee.com forward/boostly and I'll pop that in there if anybody just wants to say thank you for this week. So there's no pressure at all. Yeah, with that being said, we are good to go. I hope you've all enjoyed it, I hope you've, I hope you've had fun and I hope that we will see you all back in April. Obviously we're not going quiet. Boostly puts out free podcasts a week, so we've got new podcasts. We've got one out today with Bill Faith. We've got a great one coming out on Monday with Kieran Craig Jones and talking about Astra, which is about hospitality, tourism boards, and we've got one with Air DNA coming out very soon as well. And as well as some other great ones behind the host podcasts. You can catch us on all of the socials. You can go ahead and go and grab a five step free guide right now to getting more direct bookings on the Boosty website. So this is the first time you're tuning in? Is this the first time you've been in Boostly's world? Then, you know, we don't go away. I like to send an email, as you know, I like to keep in touch and I like to keep making sure that you are all aware of the tools, the tactics, the training and the confidence to go and get your diet. Bookings this week has been the biggest that we have ever done in terms of, of numbers and people taking part, which is phenomenal. We've had over 2,000 people that put their name down. We've had consistently between 100 and 200 people live with us every night and, you know, we topped out at 300 on Monday, which is insane. It shows that there's an appetite for this. It shows that there is people wanting to increase their direct bookings. There's people who don't want to rely on Airbnb, which is great and I'm really excited to what 2023 has to offer in terms of how this industry is going to shape up. It all begins with you and it all begins in not only you learning, but you going on the back of this and re educating your guests and your followers. Because Book Direct Day was Wednesday and Book Direct Day was fantastic. I loved it. But in all honesty, Book Direct Day should be every day, not just Wednesday, but Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. We should always be re educating our guest about the powers of booking direct and it begins and ends with you. So please don't use this week and then do nothing next week. Please make sure that you stick with it. Please make sure you actively implement and keep doing the training you have now got at your hands and your disposal. With GPT, a 24.7assistant, which is pretty cool and it's free and it doesn't complain, so take full advantage of it. With that being said, if you're around next week in the uk, I'm going to be speaking at Darlington on Thursday, my only speaking gig in the UK this year. Next month I'm going to be flying out to Nashville for what is the biggest event in this industry, the biggest stage in this industry at least with the SDI wealth event in Nashville, which I'm looking forward to seeing. So many faces back in London in April for the shorties and the Short Stay Summit which is a UK based event and then all the other things that happen in this year plus April's training. So thank you all, we'll be back very soon. Until then, take care. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and as always, let's stay proactive, don't be reactive and let's go and get some diet bookings. This is a freestyle going off the dump.
Ready for my close up. Good looking let me tell you. Get more bookings. Aw that'd be nice. Giving me tips, tools and advice. Yeah, you're gonna get em hun. You're gonna sit back, listen to Mark Simpson.
Whoa.
