Hi

[Breanna105]

How do I get started being a co host. Soy name is Breanna and I currently get Airbnb just to see how well properties are I give rating on every air bnb that I staying I haven't figured out how to quit make money of this but I do have many people  that follow me and my reviews do matter

It's like any other business you need a marketing plan and budget to help you promote your cohosting services to hosts you've identified as your target market .

start by looking at Airbnbs cohosting information on the Airbnb Help website to understand what's involved 

why is how many people 'follow you' relevant to marketing a cohost service?

Hi @Helen3 😊, 

Thank you for helping our host.

Are you a co-host as well?

[Helen3]

Yes for the last five years @Elisa

Hi @Breanna105 😊, 

this is an amazing idea!

What would you like to do as a Co-host?

I’m sharing this helpful link for you 👉 How to find and become an experienced Co-Host on Airbnb?

Following. Thank you for this Link. I'll take a look at it again. I am a Superhost interested in reaching out to struggling hosts but need advice as to how to best do this. Thanks!

Hi @Luz688 😊, 

Have you been able to find anyone yet?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Elisa,

Thank you for checking in. So I was denied Co-hosting status based on my current listing. I've had my property on AirBnB  for 2 1/2 years with a co-host managing the property. In June, I took over the hosting properties and re-listed the apartment under another heading and naming me as the host, without a cohost. The look back period is one year, apparently. 

A little disappointed as I was hoping to be able to co-host my friend's property.

Thanks again,

Best regards

Luz

You don't need to be an approved Airbnb cohost to cohost on Airbnb @Luz688

Hi Helen, 

Thank you for your response. How so? How do I go about?

Thank you,

Luz

Hi Helen,

So I dug a little deeper-- and yes, a host can directly request a co-host off the platform. The co-host needs to complete a form and be verified. My understanding is that the co-host will have full access to messaging, booking, etc. Same as a cohost on the platform. Is this correct?

Thanks,

Luz

Hi @Luz688 😊, 

Thank you for letting me know, and I'm really sorry this happened to you.

Do you know the reason for the denial?

Hi Elisa,

Thank you for checking in. So I was denied Co-hosting status based on my current listing. I've had my property on AirBnB  for 2 1/2 years with a co-host managing the property. In June, I took over the hosting properties and re-listed the apartment under another heading and naming me as the host, without a cohost. The look back period is one year, apparently. 

I also need 100 reservations and no cancellations. I meet all the criteria if they include the previous  2 1/2 years that I had a co-host manage my property. But I understand from @Helen3 I do not need to be approved by AirBnB to cohost. I'm waiting for clarification.

Best regards and Thank you,

Luz
