EP #22: Airbnb Experiences - Launch & Grow Your Activity
Topic: Start and grow your activity on Airbnb experiences.
- Why get listed? Airbnb Experiences will very likely be the #1 source of bookings when you are just starting out. They have customers and your product will be shown to their customers. This is something that usually takes quite some time to achieve on other platforms or on the internet.
- You do not have to be a super experienced company to get bookings. Social proof, like reviews, are important but you do not need hundreds of reviews to get bookings.
- To get your listing approved it’s important to show what you will bring to the table. What makes your experience unique and what makes you the perfect host for that experience.
- Grow on the platform by starting with a low price and ask friends to book your experience for a discount
