Hi @Helen3,
Thank you so much for sharing that thoughtful tip! 🙏 Your approach—drafting formal co-hosting terms and having them reviewed by a solicitor—sets a professional foundation that many new and aspiring co-hosts could learn from. It’s such an important step that often gets overlooked in the excitement of starting out.
If you’re open to it, I’d truly appreciate it if you could share more details about your experience. Specifically:
What key terms did you include in your co-hosting agreement (e.g., scope of services, communication protocols, payout structure)?
Were there any important clauses your solicitor advised you to add or revise?
Have you ever faced a situation where your written agreement protected you or helped clarify a misunderstanding?
If you had the chance to do anything differently, what would that be?
Also, it would be incredibly valuable if you could share your top “do’s and don’ts” for co-hosting based on your personal journey. For example:
What are the most important practices for building trust with a property owner?
What should every co-host avoid when starting a new partnership?
What are some strategies for managing guest communications and expectations professionally?
Lastly, for those of us who want to grow into more professional, full-time co-hosting roles, I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
Where to learn best practices (books, forums, mentors?)
How to present yourself to potential clients with professionalism and clarity
Tools or platforms you recommend using to stay organized and consistent
You’ve clearly put a lot of thought and care into your hosting practices, and I’m certain your experience would be incredibly inspiring to many in this community—especially those of us aiming to take co-hosting to a higher standard.
Thanks again for your contribution, and I hope you’ll consider sharing more of your journey. The community learns and grows so much from members like you.
