In this episode, Alex explains how to create a really effective Airbnb listing. A task which starts with investing money in refurbishing your property to a high standard. If you do not do that, it is impossible to create a listing that tempts guests to book with you. He explains what you should be spending money on and what you shouldn´t and how to make sure you get the refurb done fast so you are not left paying rent for a property that is standing empty.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Everyone has to start spending before they start earning.
Spend your refurb budget on the right things, Alex explains exactly what they are.
Understand your avatar when deciding how to enhance your property. Focus on what they like and need.
Get the refurb done quickly. You can´t have the property empty while you are paying rent to your landlord.
Invest in good photos. Hire a professional who is used to photographing SA properties. You need at least 20. 50 is much better.
Start with Airbnb, you get paid faster than with Booking.com and the listing process is far easier.
Most people create appalling listings, so if you do yours to a high standard, it will stand out.
Use ChatGPT to create titles that really pop. Focus on the first few words, those are the ones that catch people´s eye.
The first 5 pictures on your listing are the most important. Use them to highlight the features that your guests want most.

It's not that difficult.”“We'll get you to your goals in a 10th of the time with almost zero risk.”“Think, how can I make this place suitable for my target client avatar.”“The title is key. The next most important thing, or just as important, is the pictures.”“It's not just the quality of the pictures, it's what pictures you should be taking, the flow of the pictures and the staging of the pictures.”“Your photographer needs to be Airbnb, SA specific.”
