How to turn your home into an Airbnb and make bank
You might see Airbnb as a way for you and your friends to escape the mundanity of the 9-to-5 and steal away to a cool location for a few days. But to the owner of that location, Airbnb is a veritable gold mine.
Some hosts make thousands of dollars a month, which they then use to supplement their incomes, pay their rents, and go on vacations of their own. If you're ready to experience the other side of subletting, enroll in the Mastering Airbnb course and learn money-making hacks from one of the platform's most successful hosts.
Evan Kimbrell is San Francisco's top Airbnb host, and during this 16.5-hour course, he'll teach you how to turn your apartment into a money-making machine, too. His lectures will explain how you can earn $5,000 a month by renting your bedroom, or $10,000 a month by renting the entire space. You'll create a plan of action, size up the competition, and increase your profile's SEO in order to appear at the top of Airbnb's search results. You'll also learn how to create attractive listings with gorgeous photography and detailed descriptions. With your new skills, you'll be ready to become an Airbnb SuperHost — all while limiting your rental-related work to just 3-4 hours a week.
This course regularly sells for $165, but thanks to a sweet discount, you can reap its rewards for just $15.
