By Gertrude Okore

Do you have a home? Is it lying around gathering dust and costing you lots of repair money? Are you worried you may have to sell your house next month, year? 

You have heard successful Airbnb hosts boasting of how they make a passive income. You don't know how to tap into the Airbnb market because you're scared. 

Airbnb is saturated and you're a latecomer. Or you're simply not making an income as Airbnb was hyped about. 

Let's correct this with the expert's guide to Airbnb / Guesthouse business. 

Let me help you create an income to repair your house and more. 

I have created a quick Airbnb mini-course for hosts of all levels. I have created an in-depth course too for hosts of all levels. 

You're going to learn what Airbnb requires for you to not only reach that super host level you covet. But also to ''sell-out'' of Airbnb. 

I'm going to teach you the mistakes you're making. And I'm going to hold your hand as you walk to six-figures. 

I'm going to open your eyes to what the hospitality industry is all about and why Airbnb is more than guest hosting. 

This e-Book offsets for you what's to come in the courses. You're buying a guide which will get updated with hospitality industry info.

You're buying a guide by not only an experienced Airbnb host but a customer service consultant. 

Did you know most Airbnb businesses fail due to lack of careful customer service satisfaction? 

Most hosts don't think of including experiences as part of their customer service provision. 

I want you to ride above side-hustle to a full-time income. 

You're also buying into a host who has worked in five-star hotels to budget hotels and therefore knows the ins and outs of the hospitality industry. 

You're buying into an e-Book with a personal guide. 

You're not buying an ebook but an experience. 

I will hold your hands and help you move from the ground to a hospitality guru.

CHAPTER 1: FOUR MAJOR BASICS OF STARTING GUESTHOUSE / B & B / AIRBNB

An Airbnb Kite-Surfing Experience at Nyali Beach, Mombasa.

There are 4 major basics for starting a guesthouse or Airbnb or a Bed and Breakfast. And let it create a six-figure income or more.

With these basics, you're going to learn how to:

1 Write proper house descriptions,

2. Take professional photos,

3. How to market and how to use social media for your marketing,

4. Pricing your house to beat the market.

5. Your houses' financial goals or what to expect and how to write very stern but friendly house rules.

Know How to Write Proper House Descriptions that Bring in Guests

What's a proper house description?

And how do you write a proper house description?

On Airbnb, I see hosts describing their houses as:

‘A one-bedroom penthouse with a view of the sea’.

And their photos? Glossy magazine cover photos a magazine production company would be envious. But when you scroll for further information, there's nothing else. Those houses have no reviews because the description of the house isn't personal.

Or you see a 3.5-star rating. And you begin to wonder why such stunning views/house has poor ratings.

A proper house description mentions the name of the house, the location. Include what you offer inside the house (show a lot of creativity here) and outside. Now include the experiences that your house offers.

Writing a proper house description lets guests excited to join you. You also sound personal, charming and welcoming. Did you know people can feel the power in your writing and excitement? Make your house appealing by writing descriptions which explain what you offer.

NOTE: Not a poet or a prolific writer, hire my services or use an example:

‘Gertie'S Home of Tranquility in the lush greens of Mzambarauni. Past the weighbridge on the Mtwapa-Malindi Highway. Inside my home, you'll wow at the colourful presence of my unique decorative eye.

You'll feel at sea due to the large collection of clam shells, starfishes. My warm house is very far from the hustle and bustle of Mtwapa which offers a set of experiences for kids and adults.

During the day, you can visit the kids' park, and enjoy a meal at the floating restaurant (Moorings).   While at night, you can barhop as you sample the night adventure of Mtwapa. Mtwapa nightlife wows locals and
