EP129: The Importance of Diversifying Your Airbnb Business

Jasper talks with Peter, the host of Clyde River Cottage in southern Australia. With a background in the hospitality business, Peter is well-versed in providing guests with a quality experience and marketing to travelers both directly and through third-party platforms.

Peter shares the advantages of diversifying your Airbnb business and discusses how he uses the Triple Wow Factor to procure five-star reviews. Listen and learn when it’s beneficial to post your listing on multiple platforms – or perhaps even create your own website!

Topics Covered
How Airbnb clients differ from other travelers
•Airbnb guests are buying an experience
•Most are looking to be a part of a community
The benefits of sticking with a single platform
•Allows you to build a strong reputation
•Keeps things simple (no chance of double-booking)
The disadvantages of using just one platform
•Miss out on demand provided by other marketplaces
•Can be risky to put all your eggs in one basket
Why Peter utilizes multiple platforms
•Airbnb alone doesn’t provide enough demand to reach full occupancy in smaller markets
•Clients who don’t trust Airbnb still have access to his listing
•A Google search for accommodations in his area will pop three different results that lead to his listing
The advantages of having your own website
•Opportunities for promotion (i.e.: YouTube video links, blog, newsletter for past guests)
•Clients who prefer to deal directly with a host have access to your listing
How to prevent/manage double-bookings
•Immediately remove your listing from other platforms when you receive a booking
•Make connections with other Airbnb hosts in your area and offer referrals to guests who were double-booked, waiving the price difference
•Avoid cancellations on Airbnb; you will lose your Superhost status
Peter’s secret to five-star reviews, the Triple Wow Factor
1.Clean, comfortable accommodations
2.Recommendations for local experiences (coffee shops, restaurants, etc.)
3.Welcoming, available hosts
