How Can I Get Started as an Airbnb Co-Host? Looking for Internship Opportunities.

[Ogechi6]

Hello everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. I recently completed a training program on Airbnb hosting and I’m really interested in becoming a co-host. Since I’m still building my experience, I’m looking for opportunities to intern (even on an unpaid basis) with an established host so I can gain hands-on, practical knowledge.

If anyone is open to taking on an enthusiastic learner or can share tips on how to find co-hosting opportunities or internships, I’d greatly appreciate your guidance. I’m eager to learn the everyday operations, communication, guest management, and everything that goes into being a seasoned host or co-host.

Thank you so much!

Hi @Ogechi6 

Although several people can help mentor you remotely, it would be best to find hosts locally who can mentor you especially when it requires going to properties.  I would encourage you to seek out local host groups.  I would start by searching what is in your area on Facebook.

I am quite interested in knowing what "training program on Airbnb hosting" you recently completed.

Unfortunately there are a nûmber of business out there that run 'airbnb cohosting training ' who suggest that new cohosts can get existing hosts to provide them with free mentoring . @Dave-and-Deb0 

the reality is that most  host won't want to do this as there's no benefit for them in doing this and they won't want someone with no experience having access to the back end of their listings .  @Ogechi6
