Mark Simpson explains why STR owners should stop relying on Airbnb and other platforms. Airbnb charges commissions and uses opaque algorithms that don't serve owners' interests, so learning direct-booking strategies cuts out the middleman and keeps more money in your pocket.
So if there's one thing that can completely transform your life as a short term rental owner, it's knowing how to effectively secure more direct bookings. The problem is no one really teaches you how. And that's because it's not in the interest of the major booking platforms like Airbnb to talk about this stuff. You see, when you secure a direct booking for your short term rental, these booking giants don't pocket a single penny. In fact, if you solely rely on these booking platforms to advertise your short term rentals, your bookings are constantly subjected to unpredictable algorith, rising commission fees and sudden policy changes. We've even seen Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky recently advising short term rental owners to lower their prices. So it's evident where the platform owners interests lie. And that's why I'm the guy they don't want you to know about.
