Chapters
Come to the Boostly podcast. My name is Mark Simpson and before we get started, I just wanted to say thank you to our show sponsor, which is Hostfully. Hostfully. They are the market leaders in digital guidebooks and PMS provider property management software. Please do go check them out. You can go to Hostfully H O s t f u-l l y.com you get one free digital guidebook, which is fantastic. Go get started, check it all out. And if you ever want to upgrade, if you put in Boostly B O o s T L Y 2M as the promo code or just Boostly, then you will get a discount for sign up and being a member of Team Boostly. So thank you very much for Hostfully. I do recommend it, I've used it, our Team Boostly members have used it and the digital guidebooks and the PMS provider platform are fantastic. So thank you very much. Now, let's get on with today's show. Okay. Welcome to a slightly different Boostly Podcast. I hope you're doing well. So, my name is Mark Simpson and I give hosts just like you the tools, the tactics, the training and the confidence to get more heads on beds and where you don't have to rely on on Airbnb and booking.com or the verbose or the Expedia to bring them to you. Now, I've been getting a couple of messages to say, mark, these daily podcasts are great, but they're just everywhere. And I, and I want to keep up to date when you're doing something special. So what I've done is I'm not going to rely on the algorithms, YouTube and Facebook algorithms or anything like that. What I've decided to do is I've created a text messaging service. So if you go to Boostly B o o s t l y.co.uk SMS it will take to a Facebook page where you can sign up to get text messages from me straight to your phone. These will land straight into here. There'll be no noise, no, just no disruption. It will literally be straight in and it will just tell you when something special is coming up. Whether we've got a live video or we've got a masterclass or a webinar or anything like that coming up. You will know and I promise you will not be spammed. I promise you will not be getting 15 messages a day. It will be very few and far between. But if you want to get one, then please join the text messaging service. And also as well discovered this really cool little service, this online tool where I can share my calendar with you and you can link it to your calendar, whether that's a Google Calendar, an Outlook calendar, your phone calendar, whatever it may be. So again, you can get notified via your calendar service when I'm going to be doing something special again, like a live masterclass, a live video, a webinar, etc. So those are two ways on how you can keep in touch, because I do get it. I do a lot of content. Um, I pride myself on the fact that I give away so much free advice to everybody. About 99% of what I do is as I give away for free. Because then when anybody does upgrade and want to hire Boost Lee for content creation, for website design, for coaching or anything else, then you know that you're getting the best of the best. Um, so with that, I created those two services, totally free services, so you can keep organized up to date and never miss a thing. So again, if you want to join the text messaging service, go to boostly.co.uk SMS and if you would like to get your calendar synced with my calendar, it's boostly.co.uk forward/ical. So I C A L I'm not stopping doing anything else. I'm still going to be sending out the WhatsApp messages and the emails because I want to make sure that you are getting notified when there is some Boostly content or news or, you know, breaking news that I need to share with you. For example, the time that we went after TripAdvisor Airbnb and we were showcasing how guests were trying to hoodwink hosts by saying that they were key workers when really they weren't. So anything like that I want to bring to your attention. I will let you know. So that's today. Super short, super quick, but as important that I wanted to share with you, if this is the first time that you've tuned into a boosted podcast and you're thinking, what am I signing up for here? Please do go check out yesterday's podcast or the other 200 plus podcasts that we've got before. That will give you a better idea of what we're doing here at Boostly. So thank you for tuning in. I'll be back tomorrow with another episode. Until then, keep proactive, don't be reactive, and I look forward to speaking to you all tomorrow. Take care, everybody.
