Offering Airbnb Experiences: a Step-by-Step Guide

From all the ways the Internet has changed our lives for the better, providing us with independence in one of the most important. Using unlimited sources of information and having the freedom to share our ideas, we can start and pursue projects without tons of complicated paperwork or pricy marketing.

In this course, I’m going to explain one of the simplest and most attractive ways to become an entrepreneur by using a well-known Internet platform. Offering Airbnb Experiences means merely doing what you know and like best – and sharing it with anyone who wishes to take part.

The secret of Airbnb success

Initially founded in 2008, Airbnb transformed the way the world travels. The idea is simple: instead of booking a hotel room, you can rent a place of a local person. It’s the ultimate win-win situation: you can have a more authentic experience while also spending less money, and the host has a chance to earn a bit of cash.

According to ShareBetter, you can get a full apartment cheaper than a single room in a hotel in some cities (e.g., New York). No wonder the total number of check-ins is close to half a billion by now! Statistics also show that Airbnb guests tend to stay longer and spend more money in the city in total when compared to hotel guests.

Airbnb Experiences: why you should do it

When it turned out there’s a massive demand for more local-like ways for traveling, Airbnb went one step further and introduced Airbnb Experiences in 2016. Just like renting out your place, it allows any local to become an entrepreneur by using an online platform. Only in this case, instead of offering a house or an apartment, you share your unique expertise.

An Airbnb experience with a local guide can mean anything from a tour or a workshop to a cooking class. As of now, there are other 30 000 Airbnb Experiences to choose from. If you have a unique idea, you can start one too – in this course, I will show you how!
