@Caroline1309 I'm not someone who is all that adept with "techie" stuff either. In fact, a friend had been urging me for years to use Airbnb to rent out my mostly unoccupied guest room, but I was intimidated by having to navigate my way through an online booking platform
. But when I first decided to list on Airbnb, I spent a few days reading through every article in the Help section of the website for hosts, as well as reading through the Terms of Service I was agreeing to if I listed. Then I spent a few days familiarizing myself with where to find everything in my hosting account, clicking on everything, and every other link that came up and, since I'm of the pencil and paper generation, writing everything down for myself so I would remember where to access different settings. I made note of Airbnb's phone numbers, and how to contact them through messaging. I did all this before I submitted my listing.
I wasn't aware of the existence of this forum at that point, or I would have also spent several days reading through posts by hosts to understand what issues hosts deal with and further understand things that aren't necessarily mentioned anywhere that can be easily found.
It's like being in the market for a new car- you'd do your research before just walking in and plunking your money down- you'd read consumer reports, you'd read reviews, you'd read up about all the features the car has, you'd compare pricing to similar vehicles.
It isn't too late for you to do these things now and I suggest you make time for it- read all the Hosting Help articles. Click on everything there is to click on in your hosting account so you know where to find all the settings. If non-techie me could do it, I'm sure you can as well.
