Co-hosting without prior hosting experience on the platform?

[Tanya299]

Hi everyone! I would like to come on as a remote co-host, in the southern Ontario canada region.  I was a bit confused since it seems you can’t be added to the airbnb co-host directory unless you actually hosted on airbnb before? 

Is there other ways co-hosts can find/be matched to hosts who are looking for support with their listings? 

Thanks!

The Airbnb Cohost platform is for experienced hosts who meet high standards in terms of their ratings and reviews . @Tanya299 

the majority of owners look for experienced hosts who live close to the properties they manage .

if you want to offer a remote cohosting service it's like any other business . Do your market research to help you understand how to reach hosts you've identified as your target market and use this to develop a marketing plan to identify what advertising and marketing you can invest in to reach hosts you've identified.

owners would need to understand what experience and skills you bring to the table and why they should use your services.

Thanks @Helen3. 

I know of some people who have never had a listed property on Airbnb but help manage the listings remotely,  so I thought I’d ask!

thanks for the tips.

That's good do have a chat with the people you know who've done it then and ask them how they went about it @Tanya299
