Co-Hosting Guidance

[Kevin-Or-Kev0]

Hi Kevin here from Derby in UK. i am very interested in becoming a co-host any guidance on how to achieve this and where to find clients. I have some hospitality experience of my own but want to leverage it and take it further. Anyone ?

Hello @Kevin-Or-Kev0  👋

While other Hosts come across your post and share their opinions, did you know that Hosts can also find a Co-Host available for certain regions through the Airbnb platform?

I wanted to share a useful guide to learn more about the service: How to Find and Become an Experienced Co-Host on Airbnb? 

I hope this is helpful 😊

Hi @Paula, 

Thanking ever so much for reaching out and responding ! I will have a look and do some learning today and reach back if anything 

what do you do yourself ? Are you a co-host ?

Thanking you

As it says on her profile @Kevin-Or-Kev0  Paula is a Community Manager for this community.

Its always difficult to set up a cohosting business when you have no experience as a host. Understandably most hosts want to work with highly experienced cohosts with great reviews and ratings .

i would say start by renting a room build up some great reviews and ratings . Learn how the STR platforms work, understand supply and demands and legal requirements for STRs in the Uk.

Then you will be in a position to start marketing yourself as a cohost . 

i am a UK host with nine years experience and four years experience as a cohost .

Hello Helen, 

Thank you for your input and advice.

I would love for us to connect and you could potentially mentor me on y journey in becoming a co-host i am really intrigued by your experience and how long you have been doing this. 

Thanks

Sorry @Kevin-Or-Kev0 I don't have time to provide mentoring support for other cohosts .

Perhaps there is a cohost in your location that you could pay to mentor you ?

Hello @Helen3, 

understood. thank you anyway for your help. do yo have any suggestions as to where i can look for some hosts and sell myself ?

[Helen3]

you can set up your own marketing channels and invest in targeted advertising to reach hosts you've identified as your target market in your location @Kevin-Or-Kev0
