It's becoming a bit silly now.
First, it was the "ambassador" programme, recruiting existing, successful hosts to "assist new hosts" in getting started. As it turns out, it's a somewhat high pressure programme to recruit new hosts. And you *could* get 100 bucks for your efforts. We were "chosen", signed up, and were accepted. But then it turned out to be nothing more than a high pressure recruiting programme, so I "resigned " stating my objections.
Yet they still keep sending me recruiting tips and, special offers such as "set up 6 new hosts in the next 14 days, and receive a 25€ bonus".. 25€ buys me a basic dinner for 2. I'm not inclined to cold call for 8 hours a day and bullpooop whoever is on the other end of the line because I might get a 25€ bonus on top of a base commission less than half of a self employed shoe salesperson.
And now, the airwaves are full of adverts recruiting hosts, "if you host on Airbnb, you can make additional income" (which is true, but not unique to Airbnb). And it's not the content that irritates me as much as the frequency. There seems to be an Airbnb hosting advert at least 1 per hour nowadays on certain stations, even more often on others.
And it all strikes me as a bit desperate.
