A short YouTube monologue by Mark Simpson in which he recounts a coaching conversation with a client about personal growth and monetizing her accommodation referral network. He advises the client to start charging a small finders fee (e.g., 5–10%) and to build a local WhatsApp group of hosts to centralize referrals.

This is something I was talking to with one of my coaching clients and she is the most amazing human. She's lived a life upon a life upon a life and I was asking her because she's in a growth stage right now, does she grow or does she want to grow or is she happy where she is? And I said to her do you have people contact you asking for accommodation? And she said yes. She's so good at doing the network and so good at getting to know people. She's parts of so many committees and all of these things. And I was like well what do you do when these come in? I said I just pass them on to people. I said well are you taking a cut, like a 5 or 10% fee, finders fee? She's like no. Said start doing it and you can start to build up your own mini WhatsApp local group of hosts, other hosts.
