Hi there. Have you ever wondered how do I become an Airbnb host? I get this
question. How do I become an Airbnb host? Who is an Airbnb host? I'm going to tell you
exactly how you can become an Airbnb host today. Let's go.
I'm going to be sharing with you the simple steps to get started as an Airbnb host.
The first thing that you're going to need, of course, is an account. I'm going to
tell you how to get it, what to do, where to go. The next thing that you're going
to need is pictures. So, you'll need a camera. I bet many of you have a phone
and things like that. I'm going to tell you how to get good pictures for your
property. And the last thing that you need is just a little bit of your brain
work. I'm going to tell you how to do it, where you should be looking and how to
set your listing up so that you can be a successful Airbnb host. And I'm going to
tell you a few secrets on how you can do better than other Airbnb hosts today.
Step 1, you need an account with Airbnb. Again, this is completely free and super
simple. You just click the link below. I've put
one below to refer you again, completely free to Airbnb so that you can set up
your account. There's 2 types of account on Airbnb. One is an account as
someone that lists properties and the other type of account is someone that is
traveling. So, they have 2 different types of way. Or 2 different ways that
you use Airbnb. Again, one of them is hosting the other way is traveling.
That's how they have a list. It says hosting and it says traveling. But in
this case, we're talking about how to be a host. So, when you go ahead and you set
up your account, you go ahead and you just make the free account. And then if
you have a property to list, then they'll let you do that under listings. You can
list the property completely free on Airbnb once you have your account set up.
So, do that today. Use the link below and make sure that you set up your account
today. The second thing that every successful Airbnb host needs is great
pictures. Now, do you need a professional camera to take those pictures? Did you
take those pictures yourself? Should you use a cellphone? What should you do? Well,
there's a very simple answer and it's right there on Airbnb's platform. So,
when you first get started to list any property, you need photos. Well, in the
beginning, I would not suggest going out and hiring a photographer
are going to buy an expensive camera to do this. I suggest taking some really
high-quality photos with your cell phone just to get the property listed. Now,
again, this is just to get the property listed. These are not the pictures that I
recommend that you keep forever and ever. But to get started we just got to get
started. And that's what I'm saying today. So, you go ahead you take some
great pictures with your cellphone. Do as many pictures as Airbnb will allow
you. So, in some cases, they tell you 36 pictures and some of the listenings, I
think they let you add even more. But the bottom line is add as many pictures as
you can. You want lots of pictures of different things. You want to open the
cabinets, you want to open the refrigerators, you want multiple pictures
of rooms. Take as many pictures as you can. Now, I'm going to give you a secret when
it comes to the pictures. So, once you get your property to listed with Airbnb,
they're literally going to send you a link for professional photography. They
have their own photographers. They actually have contracted with local
photographers that are professionals at taking pictures of real estate. And they
have great cameras, great lighting and they do not charge a lot to do it. And
here's the key: When you use those Airbnb photographers, Airbnb boosts you up in
their algorithm. So, if those of you don't know what an algorithm is, it's what
people use to search and how you can get your listings all the way at the top. And
one of the ways that I get my properties all the way at the top is I do use those
photographers that Airbnb gives me. One, because they take the best pictures. You
want great pictures. You want professional pictures. 2, it doesn't
cost a lot. And 3, Airbnb rewards me for doing it. And the third thing that is
so important when you are becoming a host on Airbnb is to do your research,
okay? There's a few things that you need to research. One is going to be price. You
want to make sure you're pricing your properties properly. If your pricing too
low, you're missing out on money. If your pricing too high, you're not going to get
enough booking. So, use the Airbnb platform to make sure
that your pricing is accurate and that your own point. So, you want to do a
little bit of pricing research. You also want to do availability research. How
many properties in the area start to think about and look at what seasons are
best for the area that you're in. And then the final thing that you want to
make sure that you research when you're becoming a host on Airbnb is your
competition, okay? This is so easy to do and I'm going to teach you how to beat your
competition every single time. And the way to beat them is to see what they're
doing. So, before you ever become a host on Airbnb, please, please, please, I implore
you; look through and see what other people's listings look like. What do they
have going on? What are their properties like? What type of pictures are they're
using? You know, what are the reviews that people are giving them? What are they
saying? Again, this does not take very long but it is super important that you
do your research. It doesn't take much time. Research those 3 things. Make
sure you research the pricing, the availability and what your competition
is doing. And that is how you will outperform other Airbnb hosts just with
those few things. And now, I'm going to give you one little secret about how to beat
that. Because I love giving you guys secrets.
Let's talk about the super hosting. I probably make a whole video on this but
we're going to talk about the super hosts. Airbnb has something called a super host
where they give you a little badge and they say, "You know what? You're one of the
best hosts on this platform. We're going to put your properties to the top. We're
going to put you great in the algorithm. We're going to blast your property out to
more people. We're going to show your property to more people." And guess what?
You're going to get more bookings. So, you want to be a super host. I'm going to make a
whole video on how to do it. But start looking. Start thinking about how you're
going to become a super host so that you can make a ton of money. In fact, I feel people
that make millions doing it. Well, that wraps up this episode. I feel like I told
