If you don't have a website, do this!

My name is Mark Simpson and welcome to a very special little mini series that I am running in why your website is not generating more direct bookings. Now, there'll be a couple of people who are tuning into this little podcast series. There'll be ones that have a website and those that don't. There'll be those that have a free website from their PMS and there's those that have their own website. There'll be a Wix WordPress, Wix WordPress Squarespace website and there'll be loads more variables as well. But a lot of you may be thinking, well, why isn't my website generating more bookings? Why am I not getting more people to my website? Why am I getting people to my website but it's not doing anything? And that's what I'm going to explore in this little mini series. Now, for those of you that are watching this or seeing my face for the first time, welcome. My name is Mark Simpson. I give hosts just like you, the tools, the tactics, the training, but most importantly the confidence to go and get more direct bookings. And a website is a major part is your virtual home, is the equivalent of somebody stepping into your property for the first time. And for a lot of you that don't have a website, this is where we are going to start. This little series is that if you haven't got a website, get one. And I don't class a website as a free one that you get from your PMS provider, that is not a website. A website is where you have got full control of. A website is somewhere that you can make as many amendments as possible. A website is where you can put as much tools as you want to as possible that will give you everything in your little toolkit to go and drive more traffic to your website. But most importantly, when they land on your website, that they will convert into direct bookings. So for the first thing to kick off this little series, the first thing that I'm going to say is you need a website. Okay, the big elephant in the room. Yes, Boostly do websites is one of the things that we are most known for. We've got nearly 700 hosts live websites that are live all over the world. And we can categorically say we do lots of calls, about 20, 30 calls a week and about 30% of them don't have a current website at present. And we have got a couple of questions that we ask when we jump on a call. But it becomes clear from the, from the get go one of the reasons why they're not getting more direct bookings. One of the reasons why we're not getting bookings at all is because they haven't got their their own brand online. So the most important thing to do is get a website and I don't even care if it's not with Boostly. Obviously I'd love it if we can help you. We've got a money back guarantee. We are the market leaders in what we do. We are tried and tested and as much as we would love to speak to you, if you want to go it alone, if you want to use somebody else, that's absolutely fine. But the most important place to start in this series is to get a website. So go and do that now. There's loads of different possibilities if you want to check out what we're doing.
