Hey there,

Would you be interested in joining a video call to chat about best practices for optimizing listings and revenue?

I recently joined this community and thought it would be valuable to trade notes with others on the strategies you use to maximize revenue. I’m an owner (not a property manager, and not selling anything). My STRs are in the Outer Banks, NC, with one in Denver. I tend to outperform my competitors and use some creative approaches to boost revenue and ranking, but I always pick up new ideas from others.

If you also feel like you’ve found effective strategies—and are open to learning and sharing “secrets”—I’d love to connect.

Reply if you’re interested! I’m hoping to keep it to a small group (5–6 people max).

All the best,
Scott

Emily - we’ll see if anyone else is on board. If not, we can certainly set up a call. Cheers, Scott

Great initiative ​@OBXStays! There are so many questions on this topic in the Community recently, so I hope people will jump in. I’ll also highlight it in tomorrow’s weekly recap. 💜

I would be interested in well! I’ve been hosting for about a year so not sure I can provide too much knowledge but love learning.

I would be interested as well. It would depend on time due to my W2. I am in the same boat as HavenHaus. I have not been doing this long.

Always willing to help and learn!

@OBXStays whenever you’re ready, I can set up a private group for you here in the Community (private means access only by invite or request/approval). That way, you can exchange ideas, share contacts, set up calls, whatever you have in mind.

Alternatively, if it’s easier, I can send a group email (since I already have your addresses), and you can take it from there. 

Let me know which you’d prefer. 💜

@Petra Podobnik It would be wonderful if you could send out a group email we can find a time together that works. Thanks for offering!

@Springerteich Just saw your message (apologies for the delay). We had our first call. It went well, and the group felt it’d be good to have a second call. I can add you to that if you wish. Please just let me know your email.

All the best, Scott

I don’t think so. I’m not sure how to set up a private group, but would do that. ​@Petra Podobnik is there a way to do this so we can communicate within the Hospitable community and not bother everyone else?  :)

@Springerteich Absolutely, I have you on the group list. I’ve just been sidetracked with family and travel..and have been tardy in setting up a session.
