Mmm.

Here are the words in the podcast. That's what comes next.

Hello, my name is Mark Simpson and I give hosts all over the world just like you, the tools, the tactics, the training and the confidence to get more direct bookings. And a question I got asked is, how can I as a short term rental owner, whether I've got one property or two properties, how can I go from being somebody that's just say on Airbnb or I've got a spare holiday home, how can I turn that into the business? What is one of the key factors here, and my advice in here is that 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, 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 hostfully and add it into your business. And with a good PMS hostfully and channel manager, then you can get spreaded to them all. And this is the power of having a business is that you're not just relying on one, you're going to be listed on all the channels and you're also going to have a social media presence and you're also going to build an email list and you're also going to have a website and you're also going to have a payment channel via Stripe or PayPal. This is the main thing. Do not build your house on someone else's land. Do not be solely reliant on Airbnb for all of your bookings, because if you do that, it only takes one event, whether that somebody hacks your account, whether it could be you get kicked off the platform, you could get a couple of really bad reviews and all of a sudden you could be super host and loving life and then like that you're gone. So please take this advice. If you haven't yet got a PMS a channel manager implemented into your business, make sure that's the first thing that you do. There are many people to choose from and my advice is go to boostle. B O-O S T-L Y.co.uk PMS. I created a blog and with that blog we interviewed over a hundred hosts from around the world and we asked for the pros and cons for the PMS provider that they're using and we compiled a blog to help you make a decision. There are loads out there, you know, hostfully. Zevu We've got so many people up listing, you can literally list them, list them, list them, list them. There are loads of them. My advice is go and find one, get set upon it, get them linked into all the channels, get a presence, then get a website, come to Boostly and then start to market your business. There's so many things you can do and I'm so excited that if you're watching this and if you want to go from maybe one or two properties or doing this as a part time or a hobby into an actual business to see where you end up.
