Thank you for the info. Very helpful

Very important to ask for a pet fee when you rent our home in Malibu

[@james.svetec]

Why's that?

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

What platform should I use for shopify for a direct booking website?

[@james.svetec]

The problem with this business model is that is not respecting zoning rules. Put in place for a reason.Who wants to live next to an Airbnb house with strangers coming in and out all the time? Who is responsible for applying zoning rules? Could a citizen sue Airbnb for promoting a business that causes the lost to the right to peace in your residential area?

great info and video

[@james.svetec]

Glad you liked it!

Great video but FYI all photographer are trained and re-touching and editing. You do absolutely not need to hire a separate editor to edit the photos. Real estate photographer and Airbnb photographer shoot HDR. This means they shoot 3 to 5 frames and those frames are combined to one frame for shot light room or adobe camera raw or photomatix or some other software. Professional like myself also adjust the images and brighten them and the colors and also paint in the area of the windows, etc. it is not necessary to hire an editor. In fact those editors are also photographers! They also use lens to straighten vertical lines in the shots and the tripod, so yes, please hi photographer the images look so much better that way and they make a place look magical! Step photographer to shoot twilight images they can insert a sunset and show your backyard string lights, etc. it can really look amazing to have some nice shots!

[@james.svetec]

Yeah for sure, most photographers can do editing, although I always like to hire a separate editor for 2 reasons: 1) Photographers aren't always good at photoshopping things like the removal of an object that shouldn't have been in the frame, adding fire to a fire pit, adding Netflix to the TV screen, etc. For basic color correction, they're great, but for other stuff often not so great. 2) Editors on Fiverr are waaayyy cheaper than most photographers for editing work. It's an easy way to save a few hundred dollars so that I have more budget for extra photos, etc.

Great video

Thanks!

[@TrevorMurray-kr3et]

Hi James, we are struggling big time with Airbnb and the whole hosting process. Your video is great! Would you possibly be able to give us a few pointers to get started? Our property is called Kapiti Sands, located on the Kapiti Coast, Paraparaumu Beach, New Zealand. Sorry to be a bother.

[@james.svetec]

No bother! Have you checked out BNB Tribe? Honestly joining there would be the best way for me to help you! We can dive into it on one of the weekly community calls!

[@yasminolaad7827]

Thank you. Do you recommend organising the photos ourselves or letting Airbnb do it.. it now organises it by space living room, etc

[@james.svetec]

Absolutely do it yourself! Photo Tours is awful. Got a video coming out soon that actually dives more into that!

[@matto3794]

I'm an airbnb host with property in Jamaica. Hurricane Beryl left massive property damage to the yard. Our area is still without electricity and water. Our guests are asking for a refund. Are we covered, what should we do?

[@james.svetec]

Dang, I'm sorry to hear about that! Your best bet will be reaching out to Airbnb and/or your home insurance provider for assistance with that!

[@Adicrz]

Have you ever gotten any guest complaints on having to put their info to use the wifi?

[@james.svetec]

Never! I was worried about that as well, but the nice thing about StayFi is that your original network isn't removed. So that means guests can still access the wifi with a passcode if necessary (and it also means you don't need to reprogram any of your smart devices!)

[@Adicrz]

@@james.svetec awesome, thanks for the response!

[@D_Syno]

​@@james.svetecHow do you prevent neighbors from connecting to the StayFi and using your wifi? And have you had any complaints from past guests that you're spamming their email?

[@prbeachrental]

Good question

[@drspiritja]

What I hate on the platform now, trying to arrange the photos properly. Their rooms crap makes it so frikkin hard lol

[@james.svetec]

Yeah I feel ya! The trick is you gotta delete all the rooms and just put all the photos into the "Additional Photos" category. Then you can go to "All Photos" and arrange them yourself just like before :)

[@drspiritja]

Won't that affect how the listing is displayed? Meaning how many bedrooms and bathrooms?

[@james.svetec]

No, that's managed in your listing settings. All it'll do is get rid of the "Photo Tour" on Airbnb. So when someone browses through your photos, it'll look the way it used to before the recent update (ie. it won't break it down into a bunch of different rooms). I've found this to perform WAY better than the Photo Tour, as the Photo Tour often jumps from room to room in an illogical way. Not to mention that it doesn't allow you to highlight your best amenities early on in the photos.

[@drspiritja]

Frikkin appreciate you man. Thank you much

[@aqarstays]

@@james.svetec also, having 1+ space with no photo has (or had) similar outcome

[@BrownRentals]

Is there a way to actually A/B test Airbnb headlines?

[@james.svetec]

Yes! You can use a tool like Intellihost to track changes and see which headline performs best! intellihost.co/#a_aid=bnbtribe
