10 Ways to Make Your Airbnb More Profitable

Airbnb is a service that causes a lot of controversy nowadays. However, it remains a very practical business for those who use it and can be very profitable for those who manage it. If you're thinking of opening or increasing your revenue with your Airbnb, here are 10 tips to make even more profit.

1. Adopt new technologies

Use software that brings together schedules, reservations, and rates from different agencies in a single panel.

2. Make good publicity

- SEO: Optimizing your business with the right keywords can increase your Google ranking and give visibility to your space.

- 1 image is worth 1000 reservations: Create a good profile with photographs of people using the space.

- Social media: Reach people who don't search on Airbnb through websites, forums, blogs, etc.

- Ask guests to rate their experience: The more positive reviews you have, the more guests you will attract. However, be careful: keep your guests satisfied, because negative reviews have the opposite effect.

3. Adapt the amenities to your audience

You must understand who your guests are to better meet their needs. Pay close attention to the type of customers who knock on your door.

- Serve those who travel for work: Since the pandemic, business trips have changed a lot. Face-to-face meetings have given way to online conferences, but we are in the era of digital nomads looking for places to work and relax. Install high-speed Internet to attract this market.

- Welcome children and pets: Think about families and pets, and provide them with the best conditions to choose your property.

4. Offer additional goods and services

To differentiate yourself from others, why not offer additional services such as meals, drinks or bicycle rentals?

5. Adopt a good pricing strategy

Always opt for transparency and avoid charging for everything. Use dynamic pricing. Ensure competitive prices adapted to the market using specialized software to make last-minute promotions and adjust the minimum number of nights per stay to the time and other conditions.

6. Receive more guests

Maximize your facilities. See what possibilities there are to host more guests. The more, the better.

7. Offer Airbnb experiences

Renting spaces is not the only way to make money on Airbnb. Now, you can also offer experiences, promote the local experience. Nowadays, more than accommodation, clients are looking for the destination experience. And why not offer them the complete experience? You can offer everything from transportation to guided tours, shows, etc.

8. Think long-term

Don't get stuck in time. Be always attentive to the needs of the market and your clients.

- Make improvements: Paint, redecorate, replace or complement appliances, opt for sustainable solutions, etc.

- Study: Before investing in a space, study the area, the market and what you want from your business. Think if you want to attract a more dynamic urban clientele or, on the contrary, invest in rural accommodations with more 'zen' characteristics.

9. Make partnerships

Join other Airbnb hosts and help them in their businesses. Let them help you in yours. It's always good to have help.

10. Keep the doors always open

Don't be fooled if you think there's no business in the low seasons. Remember the digital nomads who are always looking for a safe place to work and decompress.

It's true that having a business is not always easy and there are plenty of hair-raising stories. But it's also true that nothing is impossible and success stories abound.

Increasing the yield of your space is possible and desirable, it just requires you to commit with everything you have on your Airbnb.
