Katie, you have to run a spreadsheet or you have no idea if you are making money or losing it.
Like @Ann72 I run a profit and loss to establish what I actually need to charge in order to make hosting worthwhile.....
And then as well as that I keep monthly spreadsheets that chart the course of my hosting through the year.......
I can, on a moments notice, go to any night over the past 5 years and tell what guest I had..... and how much I made from hosting them.
This is why I have frequently said here on the CC to take no notice of Airbnb's suggested pricing tips. Accepting Airbnb's advice is guaranteed to lose you money.
@Katie , As to hosting goals, at the moment it is impossible to set hosting goals, and it will probably be years before we can be back into a situation where we can host with any confidence. As well as the current virus problem is being handled here, we are all the time getting hotspots flare up in one state or another with borders being opened and closed all the time. I had 5 reservation cancellations in December from guests who were not allowed to fulfill their travel, but, I got 4 other bookings to fill those canceled dates. You can't set goals you just have to do what Covid will let you do!
At the moment all I can wish for is a 'steady as she goes' approach, my January and February are full so I am just happy with that!
Cheers.........Rob
