new host

[Deana7]

Hi Everyone, I am a new host to Airbnb and looking to get the word out there about our house that is available in Canyon Lake Tx (about an hour away from Austin)  I'll be honest, I am so worried because I have only booked (one) 3-day visit.  A irbnb  suggested professional pics but it is not available in my area 😞  can someone help me Please?  Is there another way to advertise?  Craigslist or something?  Here's the line below:  if it doesn't work, its canyon Lake, TX then Brookside Abode sleeping 8 people.  It is a wonderful clean 4 bedroom house that I have spent a lot of time making sure that my guest would be happy.  It is ONE MILE FROM THE GUADALUPE RIVER!
Do Airbnb host ever get together for process improvement meetings or to help support one another? 
 
Your advise is truly welcome!!!!!

There's lots of way to advertise - post it on Facebook, ask your friends/family to share, post it on Craigslist or other similar sites, create business cards and put them on local community boards, etc.

Hey Deana - I am an airbnb co-host in New Braunfels - 1 mile from the Guadalupe off river road. I would highly suggest professional photos and utilizing as many vacation rental websites as possible, though Airbnb has been the most successful by far. If you have any questions or need some help I am in the area and would be happy to give you some advice on renting out your home. Check out my rental - The Hilltop Hideaway

Hi Deana,

We are from New Braunfels but our Airbnb is in Jamaica Beach.  I built a Facebook page and website and work them about every 3 days.  Our home was listed in March and I'm so booked it's scary!!  We didn't take professional pictures, but I take alot of pictures and shoot many different angles before editing and deciding what to use.

I was unable to locate your rental, but you may contact me anytime.  We're Galveston Island Cottage in Jamaica Beach or on FB.

Good luck.  Debbie
