50 to 75% of your business (bookings).
I've learned over the past year or so that it's important to take control back of how you're marketing your listings, and you should have a little bit more control with direct booking websites. Because I've had friends and I've had host campers that their Airbnb listing might have gotten shut down for a while. It's hard to get it reactivated. And it actually happened to me for, like, two or three days. And it was kind of a scramble for us because we couldn't even communicate with our guests. And then they lifted it and it was all fine. No, no actual detrimental effects. But it did teach me that I should be taking control back. Right? And so right around that time, Mark Simpson of Boostly reached out to me. They're one of the sponsors of hostcon. And he said, hey, man, let me make you a direct booking website, and let me show you how to market yourself. He's like, with your platform, being a YouTuber, being an Instagrammer, a content creator, all that kind of stuff, there's no reason why you can't be getting 50 to 75% of your business just from those channels.
