The Book Direct Blueprint: Perfecting The Foundations of your STR

Welcome back to another edition of the Boostly podcast and this is a very special one because I have some breaking news. So really big news today on today, a very special day. We have just launched the book Direct Blueprint. This is the follow up to the Playbook, the follow up to the workbook. This is the blueprint. And uh, please, please, please head over right now to Amazon, go to your store and go and find the book Direct Blueprint. Now the reason why this is special because as you know, earlier on in this year I released a playbook. It went really well, worldwide bestseller, all those cool things. And it really impacted a lot of people but it focused solely on marketing. And from what I've learned from throughout this year and from chatting to people that are getting started or maybe even like a year in two years or maybe even a couple of properties, there's still so many people that are struggling with the foundations, the basic things that they need to have in place to be able to not only start a short term rental business, to scale it, grow it and potentially sell it. So the idea was, is I wanted to reach out to some of my friends, some of my peers, vendors in the industry that could help contribute to a book. So this is just not me. We've got some amazing co authors that have put together this book. So uh, we've got Chris Mahn and Neely from iprac, we've got Maddie from Mount, we've got the team at Price Labs. Uh, we've got Touch Day which is obviously Andy McNulty, which is Ty Ann which is Kate and many many more people behind the scenes there. Uh, we've got Vinnie from Uplisting and his amazing team. Uh, we've got Dak again which is Damon Thomas and Ellen. Uh, really, really, uh, great team effort on that one. Uh, we've got Tech Tape which is John Anne really is one to watch out for in 2023. The team at Super Hog, Humphrey, Leo and the team there. Great work. Manoham, which is Mark, which is Ali, which is Sage. Great work from behind the team there, D Travel, which is something that I am personally selfishly really wanted to get into this book which is all about how cryptocurrency and Dao and this web free world is going to influence the world of hospitality as we know it. So that's great work from the team there. And we've got the co host expert which is Roberta Nunes, which takes the idea of working with corporates to a whole other level. And probably one of my favorite ones is I get to showcase the talents of Tom o' Brien, who is someone who's been with me now since 2017. We started working on one website together. Now we do thousands together. He is the CTO of Boostly and I wanted to give him his moment to shine in this book. And we've got a chapter. So each one of these offers, each one of these vendors have contributed a chapter to the book and the goal with it is that for everybody that you've got with here, you've got all of the foundations that you can place at the bottom before you start to build your house. And the playbook was all about don't build in your house on someone else's land. The blueprint is all about laying those foundations. There's loads of people to thank behind the scenes to get to get this to hear Jodi Sterling, who is, who has founded Sterling Publishing House and the team she has put together is fantastic. Obviously the team at Bernaka Rosie and the team of Bernaka for printing and helping get all of the things done as well as Greg Colette just for words of advice along the way and many, many of us nearly for helping obviously with the words. Right now what I'm going to do after this is I'm going to go and record the audio version. So the audio version is going to be another week away. Final little touches of that. We've got a special guest that I'm looking forward to showcasing with you when the audio is up and running. Thanks to Joe Sam and the team really based local to me in Elvington here in York I've got a fantastic studio. So it's all come together nicely. Now the big reason why I want you to go and grab this book today, go onto Amazon. It's called the Book Direct Blueprint is that every profit that we make from the book sale, every single profit. So after Amazon have taken their cut and all those other things, any profit that is left and hopefully there's tons of it is going to go to charities. So something that I really wanted to to sort of do with this book and all of the authors are on board of it, we're going to influence and we're going to help food banks. So we're going to do it locally, we're going to do it statewide, countywide, countrywide and we're going to help all over. So if you know, if there's a food bank that really does need some needs some money, please reach out to me. Info.co.uk in the subject put food banks and yeah so let's go and do it. Let's go and get this right up there. Go and check it out, Go and buy it, Go and leave a review. Let's get it to number one. Let's spread the word of Book Direct. There's a couple of categories that I really want to get to the top of and really knock off a couple of those Airbnb books and talk about Book Direct, which is huge. But at the same time, let's raise some money for some amazing charities. Quick one today, as you can see, I'm gonna be very busy. Got a lot of promotions to do, got a lot of messages to send out and reply to, a lot of messages. So thank you very much for tuning into the Boosted podcast. Doesn't matter if you're listening today on launch day or if you listen to this in the future. Thank you so much for being part of it. Thank you so much for being part of Boostly this year.
