In low or mid season, when accomodation offers exceed demand, you need your listing to stand out.
You already know that the title of your listing will make a difference as well as the number of comments.. but that's not what my number one tip is about. It's about the cover picture and what you can do with it to get more attention from guests and more bookings.
1) Get Gimp (cool software like Photoshop which is free and safe to download from http://www.gimp.org/ )
2) Open the picture that you use as a cover pic.
3) Add a bit of color and a very simple message such as " WIFI " or " SEAVIEW "
4) Export as .JPG file.
5) Load in airbnb.
Try it, you will have fun making your cover picture better as I have done here :

You can also put two pictures in one as I have done here :

You may not be impressed so far but the ads with a special message and a bit of color on the cover picture really stand out in the search results.
See how the above listings look in this search results page :

Your turn !
Show me your style, post a link to your listing in this conversation to show how you have handled your cover pic. I am looking forward to see how you do it.
