Level Up: How to increase your Airbnb Rental Income
Maybe you started your Airbnb business because you travel a lot and didn’t want your home to sit empty. Maybe you wanted to make some extra cash and saw the potential in the platform. Or, maybe you’re using the sharing economy to foster your very own small business. Whatever the reason you chose to start hosting on Airbnb, we’re sure that you did it with at least a small desire to make some money. Now that your account is all set up and you’ve had a few guests, it’s time to make some changes that will set you up for success and increase your income. With a few tweaks, you’ll be surprised how well you can do!
Tips to increase your Airbnb rental income:
Up your occupancy
One of the most cost effective ways to increase your Airbnb rental income is to increase the number of people your space sleeps. By adding a sleeper sofa or turning an unused junk room into an extra bedroom, you can advertise a higher occupancy rate which will allow you to increase your prices significantly.
Make changes with profits in mind
Remember that increasing your Airbnb rental income doesn’t matter if you’re not also increasing your profit. Making improvements to your property that cost more money than they make won’t do any good. Make your home better, but do so with your return on investment (ROI) in mind.
