Co Host

[Tanisha34]

Hello, I was once an Airbnb host with top ratings & great reviews for over year. I no longer have that listing and currently not managing any properties right now. I would love to co-host in the meantime however I don’t meet Airbnb’s qualifications anymore. Is there another way for me to co-host? Or a website that I can find hosts that are looking for assistance?

Hello @Tanisha34, Thank you for posting in the Community Center.

I’m reaching out to three experienced co-hosts to see if they can share some ideas with you: @Laëtitia-Stephy0 @New-Bern-Vacation-Rentals0 and @Elise43 

Regards,

Thank you so much! @Paula

Bonjour @Tanisha34 et @Paula ,

Dans la vie j'anime bénévolement une communauté d'hôtes Airbnb locale dans le Sud Ouest de la France.

Seuls les hôtes Airbnb peuvent faire partie du groupe.

J'observe qu'on a souvent des hôtes du groupe qui souhaiteraient l'aide ponctuelle d'un hôte expérimenté.

Ainsi mon réflexe est de les orienter vers un co-hôte du réseau car je sais que leur profil et expérience sont vérifiés par AIRBNB.

Pour l'instant en attendant de pouvoir répondre à nouveaux aux critères du programme tu peux te rapprocher de l'office de tourisme de ta localité, d'une agence immobilière ou d'une conciergerie pour proposer tes services.

Une publication sur tes réseaux sociaux à partager serait un coup de pouce également.

A très vite.

Hello  @Tanisha34  and  @Paula  ,

In my life I volunteer to manage a local Airbnb host community in the South West of France.

Only Airbnb hosts can be part of the group.

I have noticed that we often have guests in the group who would like occasional help from an experienced host.

So my reflex is to direct them to a co-host in the network because I know that their profile and experience are verified by AIRBNB.

For now, while waiting to be able to meet the program criteria again, you can contact your local tourist office, a real estate agency or a concierge service to offer your services.

Sharing a post on your social media would also be a boost.

See you very soon.

Hi @Tanisha34 ! I would recommend reaching out through your social networks to try to find someone who needs help. After you build a track record again, you could try applying to Airbnb’s Experienced Co-hosting network. But those of us on there definitely do not rely on it for our leads! We go out in our community and make connections, and try to find clients that way. I know some co-hosts have had a lot of success partnering with realtors.

I have friends who have turned into clients, and as your reputation grows, you’ll get more. I would also try to see if you can get into your old listing to screenshot reviews— reviews are gold! 

A website is very helpful too! 

I hope this helps a bit!

Warmly,

Elise
