Hey @Amy352,
Thanks for your kind words.
If you think you will enjoy further reading i have a more extensive guide with 60 tips here
Be sure to hit the thumbs up if lilked the posts, so that more users can find them and read them 🙂
Regarding your question, Airbnb likes to verify members through different ways, social profiles, email, phone # and official documents (like your government ID or passport). This makes other users feel safer that their host is actually a person who is committed to this thing and not just someone who made a fake email and created an account 🙂
Here is how to manage your verification methods:
In your Airbnb profile (not here on the community forums) click on the upper right corner on your face icon, then in the menu that opens, click on "Edit Profile":

In the next Screen, on the left side menu, click on "Trust and Verification":

Here you can add your social profiles and other types of verification that you like (should be in the bottom part of the screen that reads "Not yet verified" :

I hope this is helpful. The instructions are about the web site of Airbnb. There should be a way to do it from a mobile app but i went through this procedure as it is easier and available to most of the users.
Hope it helped 🙂
