Hi-
I’m new to this forum, however I’ve been co- hosting for 4 years now. Sorry in advanced if this looks like a novel - ugh!!
I’d like some feed back regarding how many listings is too much for 1 person?
I realize there r a great many factors, however I’d like to know what some of you think about this.
I currently co-host 3 places, which are all busy & booked months in advance-
Mind you, all hosts live in other cities & I basically set up everything for them to begin an Airbnb, which I’ve done 2 from scratch & the other was already established-
I think I’m rare in that, (maybe not) I help hosts set up their profile, make sure all amenities are in order go through the house & if they don’t have I shop for it & they reimburse me- I do a great many little things & what ever is needed to get them started.
I even do gardening if needed etc. hang curtains, u name it, I do it, if I can- I really enjoy doing this work & look at it as a collaborative business- I love my hosts & they r super fair & good people- This sort of work is a way to promote my community & have my own business at the same time-
I do the cleaning ( which I’m paid the entire cleaning fee) & take a percentage if the bookings-
So far, my hosts have come to me from word of mouth, which I really appreciate & am proud of-
I just helped in making 1 of my hosts a Super host, which is a gratifying thing-
I’m very good at what I do, I’m fastidious & organized, which is perfect for this work-
All this said, I don’t want to burn out & thought I would see what others think(?) I’d like to hire someone at some point, however I don’t think I’m there yet-
Any feedback would be appreciated
