Airbnb Open 2015 Recap Day 0 and Day 1

[Evelyn0]

I can't believe almost a week ago I was in Paris excited for the Airbnb Open. The recaps for Day 0 (rehearsal) and Day 1 are up on my website. I normally post them on the New Hosts site but it's long.

Evelyn,

Great to meet you and share stories. Your class was easily the best. I so appreciate actual examples.

I'm implementing some of your suggestions right now: Reviews in photos, Upgrading wifi to blazing speeds: 75mgbs (just to promote that amenity). Also, I have an assistant creating a data base of all my reviews, tagging user experience categories, so I can use that info in the desciptions. Lastly, I'm taking screen shots of everything. It's been on my list for a while, but the AO was a kick in the ass.

Best tip of AO 2015: Reviews are truncated. If you respond to a review it opens up and you end up attracting attention to it. So really consider whether you should respond or should just let it float away into history.

Good luck with everything.

B.

Thanks again @Evelyn0 for sharing the link to your Airbnb Open blog post, it's a really interesting read. 

Other hosts might also be interested in viewing the videos you took at the conference, would you like me to add a link on his thread to the 'Webcast/Liveblog' post within the Community Center?
