More Bookings and More Freedom for Rental Entrepreneurs
Issue 2
How can you improve your rental marketing this week? 
I am always amazed by all the great content that you can find online to improve your vacation rental marketing. 2 years ago, there was not much to read. Now, it’s a big avalanche of advice that you can get.
I enjoyed “stealing” for you PDFs from a recent HomeAway conference (see below).
On my side, I’ve started implementing Infusionsoft to spend less time running after guests trip details, to upsell services likes romantic boat cruises and private chef dinners and ask for a referral (I am a bit shy, so I am happy to get an automated tool to ask for it for me). I will let you know how this goes.
To Do: Read below the best contents of the week, select the 1 tip you like most and take action. Today.
Feel free to contact me,
Best regards,

Airbnb Disaster Stories: How to protect your home
After another well-publicized incident where guests trashed an apartment rented on Airbnb, I found 2 very interesting article by Get Paid for your Pad and by Kigo on the topic.
