Are you interested in making an extra buck referring guests to local businesses?

Personally, if it were local businesses I supported or things I believe my guests would find useful I would be be more than okay with it.

The businesses I refer our guests to, are businesses and people I believe in and therefor Iā€™m glad to do the referring for free. I donā€™t need to make an extra buck to do the right thing.

@GutHend yes, that makes sense. It seems like you are implying you only make money when you do not do the right thing :grin:

Iā€™ll leave the twisting of words to you, but I will say that I hate prices being raised because commissions need to be paid, all this while absolutely no extra service is added. I donā€™t consider referring guests to the restaurant that pays me the highest commission a service, that is a disservice.

I also think that my own business should make me enough money so that I donā€™t need an ā€˜extra buckā€™ from other peopleā€™s labour.

I was just joking. I donā€™t mean to twist your words.

Actually, many local businesses have a budget for marketing because they also need to get the word out to potential customers.

I agree with you that its a disservice to refer guests to local businesses you donā€™t believe in OR just because they offer a big commission.

I leave a guide on the bed, amongst local tips, I recommend my mates coffee bar, ā€œ20% off if you mention Nicks Airbnb!ā€.
Then a couple o times a week I pop in and pay back any discounts heā€™s given. Chance for a chat, and he does me the favour of collecting rent from one of my properties.
Also, no-one has ever used the 20% !!!
nyah ha hahaaa!!
