Finding help as a new STR host can sometimes feel really impossible. You’ll certainly face plenty of unproven information sources claiming to be a foolproof guide to success. A large amount of research is the best way to learn, and we think we found just the right thing!
As creators of the platform, the team at Airbnb knows their stuff. We recently discovered that they have a really fantastic Airbnb YouTube channel! It’s filled with cool videos, helpful guides, and awesome content for hosts who are looking to improve their listings.
We talk about dynamic pricing a lot, but today we wanted to raise awareness about this great content and show you our favorite Airbnb help videos on their Youtube channel. We also included a little information on the services we offer, just in case you’re interested!
