Question, I recently experienced an accident while working on my tiny desert cottage and wanted ask if you could put out a video on the subjects of dangers when building on sites and guest insurance.

[@Rancorous_Redwood]

I love the realness of this: a small scale business owner talking through a start up, with a realistic outlook on income and ROI. Thanks for sharing!

[@KeepItTiny]

Thanks for the comment! I’m really trying to show people the reality and not just the glitz and glam. It’s hard to find people who are willing to chat about their business but I’m going to try and find more people like Nick to chat with.

[@Rancorous_Redwood]

@@KeepItTiny Right on man! I'm in the skilled trades, so I know how hard it is to work side jobs and have a small business. Learning the property management and development side of things is so key. I love the details! It's so much better than the self-help genu type advice.

[@koalabear5787]

I like this channel but I missed some things in the interview: 1. Did he use his own money or borrow it to start the business? 2. What website did he use to find the landowner? 3. How much does it cost to rent the land per season? 4. What was his method of advertising to get customers? 5. Does he live close to the site to manage it himself? He said the landowner just greeted people. Thank you.

[@KeepItTiny]

1. he used his own money 2. Facebook groups 3. I believe for privacy and negotiation reasons he did not say. 4. Airbnb & Facebook groups 5. For his personal reasons i won't answer this question but i do believe in the video he said the landowners assists him heavily in running the business. I think i earned a subscribe? lol, hope this info helps. Thanks for watching, leaving a comment, and supporting the channel.

[@walliswwarren1383]

Several years ago I set up a tipi in a lovely site on my property, primarily for my personal use. However, when I invited guests I found some that were not used to the outdoors had issues with 'the outdoors...insects, night sounds, porta potty...also, I live in a humid climate and my tipi had mildew after the second year. Even though I cleaned it there was residual staining that freaked out some people...how do you deal with these concerns with tipi/tent camping? It would be expensive, and in my opinion wasteful, to replace the tipi after a couple years.

[@romi929]

Great video!! The first part was very informative. Finding the right sight is crucial! I would call that stage 1. Stage 2 ( which this video did not address) is management…. The owner of the land is only greeting the guests there is a ton of stuff that can arise with guests that you need to have resources available in order to make it work . Cleaning that tent , making sure everything is in good working condition, storing the supplies etch are those “ small “ details that are usually not addressed in most videos . Overall I believe Glamping Is still a very profitable business IF you know what you doing and you have the right team to help you get there.

[@cesarandamandacabrera3918]

Great video! could you do a video that talks about the legalities and liabilities of owing a glamping site? ....what happens if someone gets hurt while on your property? how do you deal with dangerous animals near camping sites?....if you have spoken about this somewhere else please let me know as well....thank you! Great work you are doing here

[@matthewvanboven4349]

Right off the bat, I'm wondering how this will play out over time. Yes, a tiny home has a higher cost of entry but it could, in theory, last over 100 years. I own a 15k yurt that I have lived in for 15 years. About the total lifespan of a yurt canvas. But the yurt has a professional floor and is suspended way off the ground. I just wonder how problematic cleaning and storage of a canvas tent will be over time. Which brings up the point that in a temperate climate, tent camping is going to be only 6 months a year. Maybe this is addressed later on in the video....I just started it😁

[@KeepItTiny]

Thanks for giving us your thoughts, especially since you know what you're talking about from experience. I think your points are very valid. This method of starting up a business is the fastest simplest route. I think its great to start and allows you to drum up more capital for future investments. He will have to shut down in the coldest months of the year though.

This is a good way to get started and generate money to fund a better glamping business. Yurts may be way cheaper, but geodesic domes will last longer, far stronger, and better overall investment for your money.

Hey, your videos are really helpful. How to find a land that can be rented?

[@sydneyjackson-clockston8682]

Love your videos and the willingness of folks to share information. I have a question if you don't live on-site or near the site what do you recommend for laundry service. Would you recommend not having furniture at all and just offering a raised cot, floor sleeping, etc the yurt or tent? Looking to invest in land regardless of starting a glamping business or not but it's a few hours from where I live.

[@KeepItTiny]

For laundry use a local wash and fold. So you or someone you pay grabs the laundry and takes it to the cleaners, drops it off, then picks it up when its done. You should have 10 sets of sheets so you only have to do this once every 10 guests. For furniture, the more you add and the nicer you can get the place the more you can charge but also the more headache it is for you to upkeep everything. There is no right or wrong answer here. Its all about how much you can take. Thanks for leaving a comment and supporting the channel !!!

I love nature and want my own land for weekend getaways, and want to have my own Glamping business 👩‍💼, I’m looking for land upstate ny and super thankful for you giving out amazing content!! I’m new to the channel!! And looking to learn! Question 🙋🏻‍♀️ I have a full time job, found some land I really like. I’m nervous to move forward bc I don’t have the upfront capital, would it be better to wait on the opportunity or take a personal loan to purchase it? I have a job to pay the monthly until I get it up and running. I’m nervous to miss out on a great opportunity!?! What would u do?

[@KeepItTiny]

If you take out a loan for the land it mean you (probably) won’t have the funds to build on it after purchase. Depending on what you’re looking to build I would wait. There’s a ton more things to pay for when you own land that people don’t think about like keeping the grass cut, paying property tax and other local taxes, etc. I’m not telling you it’s impossible, I think the opposite it’s very do-able! BUTTTT I just get nervous and worried about people taking out loans to buy land. You know your finances better than me though - so it may work out for you. Hope this helps!!!!

20 guests in 6 weeks is a 50% occupancy rate.

[@KeepItTiny]

I promise his business is doing more than just "fine" hitting the numbers he's hitting with the deal he has in place. You aren't taking into account what his deal structure is for the land in comparison to his nightly rate. For a ramp-up period, with his business just starting off, he's doing phenomenal and will only go up as he accrues good ratings and a reputation.

He doesn't accept guests in the winter. He is not out of business.

On another note - if he was out of business why the F would you "lol" at that? This channel isn't the place for that. We uplift and promote people chasing their dreams.
