Hello my YouTube friends this is Richard founder short-term rental University an
Airbnb super host today I'm coming to you live from well it's a little bit
gray but I was gonna say sunny Jackson Hole how about snowy Jackson all this
dumping all morning
so you've obviously seen the title of this video and I just want to get it out
of the way the reason that we're creating this video is because I read an
article in Bloomberg about how much an average youtuber makes Charles saw video
Casey Neistat filmed about how much a youtuber makes and we just wanted to
share it with the audience so a really good day for short-term rental
University on YouTube is about $12 per day on average it's a little bit lower
maybe it's 10 or there abouts but if you do the math and I've actually done the
math it's about $4,000 per year not bad but certainly nothing to write home
about I mean for instance the camera equipment that we're filming this all on
cost more than that so why am I telling you this well think about what it is
that you're doing if you're an Airbnb host or you want to become an Airbnb
host and you're only doing it for the money there's a really strong likelihood
that you may burn out or get frustrated or quit and you may never actually make
it to your goal there's probably something that's a little bit more
passion filled that you could sustain for longer that might make the same
amount of money or more but if you're only doing things for the money I don't
think that really works out so try and figure out why you're doing this I hope
you're finding it really great to host people and meeting people and rewarding
that people love your home and that you reinvest in your home and your fix and
you decorate like if you're doing it for those reasons then the money is a bonus
and you can take that bonus and reinvest it and grow your business but if it's
purely for the money I don't think you'll ever find it rewarding enough
because it is hard work and there is a grind
this isn't about fast money or easy money it's work but if you enjoy the
work and you enjoy the hospitality and the camaraderie and the friendship and
you're on our Facebook group in you're meeting other like-minded hosts then
it's fantastic right why do Charles and I spend so much time why does he fly out
here why do we have all this equipment and the upside is 4000 dollars in
YouTube revenue plus you know a little bit in membership and sheets and so on
well it's a deeper why and that's why I ask all of you to think about your why
because it's what sustains us we've been doing this now for over fifty two weeks
we plan on doing it for fifty two more and then another 52 and then another 52
I shared with you the new YouTube studio that we just you know signed a lease for
that's a 12-month lease and that's expensive and so the reason that we
create these YouTube videos is to hopefully inspire
shine a light give a ray of hope show people that there's another way of doing
things you know I'm not your average guy I'm long hair and funny glasses and it's
cool works for me this is my why I want to be out here I
want to be climbing that mountain in the Sun in the summer in the winter I want
to be skinning up it and skiing down and I'm living it and the reason I'm able to
do all of this stuff is because I marched my own drum right I'm
self-employed and the reason I'm able to do that is because I started a long time
ago taking different calculated bets seeing opportunity taking chances
believing in myself and laying the fundamental groundwork and I think for
the average person starting to monetize via Airbnb and short-term rentals in
real estate is a great way to do it and that's my why one day YouTube may pay me
16 dollars a day or maybe even 20 dollars a day it's not really gonna
change my life so I'm not really doing it for that but I'll take it
right Thank You YouTube anyway I just want to let you guys know we're pumped
to be out here we're starting new businesses we're doing a lot of great
filming and I'm hopeful that this is giving you guys ideas and inspiration
and thoughts and then you take your own chances and you try your own things why
wouldn't you you live once remember one life anyway like the video please
subscribe to the YouTube channel tell your friends and until next time happy
hosting
you
