Airbnb Online Experiences ...

...if anyone has done an A.O.E, or knows more info I'd appreciate it; + it might be helpful to others who are thinking of doing this. Some new members might not even know, that, is possible to utilise skills/ offer few things on AIRBNB outside of main remit [houses/ accommodation/ hols / travel etc]

 

Was reading about a guy who gives virtual tours of London and thought maybe I can offer something similar [not tours] and organise a Virtual Experience for Airbnb folks.

 

Have you hosted one?

Did you participate in a Virtual Experience?

how'd you charge, number of ppl and so on...

Hi @Bes175

 

I've been hosting an Online Experience for the last 2+ years and it's been so amazing.

 

I started out with a dog training class in 2020 when we were in hard lockdown and couldn't leave home, and then started doing a Live Virtual Safari shortly after which has been really successful (I host an IRL experience - a horse riding safari which I adapted to do virtually).

 

I'd be happy to answer any questions you have and help with anything you need to get going.

Hi Sharad,

 

A happy new year to you and congratulations on your Online Experience going live. Please send me the name of the experience so I can check if it's visible in search.

 

You don't need to duplicate it for multiple regions - its online so it's accessible worldwide.

 

With regards to visibility - we all have yet to work out the algorithm 🙂 But using keywords helps with search engine optimisation, so be sure to use keywords like "great for groups", "family friendly" , "teambuilding" for example - whichever are appropriate to yours that people may search to make sure you show up in relevant searches.

 

We have a very active and supportive Whatsapp group with awesome hosts always there to support each other and answer questions, so if you DM me I'll see if I can put you in touch with the community leaders, Keshav & David to get you joined. They regularly host skillshare sessions for hosts to improve their OE.  There is also a Facebook Group for online experience hosts - Airbnb Online Experience Hosts.

@Keshav7 - Sharad has just gone live with an OE - can you help him join us in our Whatsapp group? He is also in New Delhi, and having trouble finding his new OE in the experience pages.

Thanks @Deirdre122 ! Hi @Sharad19 ! 

here is link to your online experience - https://abnb.me/tlfbRgmjuwb

 

It is already visible in multiple cities like Deirdre said and you won’t need to upload it again since it’s an online experience 

 

sending you a direct message soon with Fb and whatsapp group link 🙌

Passionate about life!
