A short YouTube video (Mar 24, 2021) by Mark Simpson advising vacation-rental owners/operators to run their listings like a business by avoiding dependence on a single booking platform. He recommends adopting a property management system (PMS) and channel manager (example: Hostfully) to distribute listings across multiple channels (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia) and diversify booking sources.
If you're going to build a business, don't build it on someone else's land. And what I mean by that is that if you are going to build a business, if this is something that is going to become your career, if this is something that you're looking to make good income and revenue from, then you cannot be just relying on one platform to bring in your bookings, whether that be Airbnb or vrbo or booking.com or Expedia. Don't just rest on one. What you need to do is you need to get a PMS and add it into your business. And with a good PMS hostfully and channel manager, then you can get spread it to them all.
