@Robin129......I said to @Fred a while ago I miss the CC forum Robin, I miss the chance to 'chat'. Where I am now everyone has a problem, most are angry and want you to validate what is not validatable....and when you can't they give you a 'red face'!
I truly want to help Robin but, if it wasn't for the money, I wouldn't be there.
But I have learned a massive amount about the way the platform runs. That 'hotline to God' has taught me heaps and there is very little I don't feel confident about the Airbnb platform answering now.
My hosting is gowing from strength to strength, we only had 5 vacant nights in November and almost all my bookings are review generated...good reviews are money in the bank!
I am now also hosting the host 'get togethers' in this state of ours and I have been asked by the Airbnb public relations officer for Australia to take part in a media campaign. I have upcoming in a couple of weeks a two part feature spread in this states major newspaper, for Airbnb, focusing on Airbnb as a neighbourly influence and how Airbnb hosts can best work with their local government authorities.
This Airbnb train has been wonderful to me, there is not a guest I have had who I would not gladly like to see walk up my driveway and into my life again. You know I used to subscribe to that old saying, 'No man is an Island'....but I was wrong, everyone is an Island! Everyone has a story to tell, and you just don't realise how many beautiful people there are out there in the world until you host
I am interested now in just how far I can push this Airbnb bubble!
One more vino and l think l will turn it in for the night. I have deliberately given myself a night away from 'Directly' tonight to just luxuriate in seeing these faces like yours and just sticking my oar in once again. I hope you don't mind.
Cheers....Rob
