In 1 year the Airbnb Advantages and Income Covered 60% of Our Annual Rent…

While we could have been traveling wherever we wanted to go.

Airbnb is simple, easy and well worth the time.

Earning on Airbnb while traveling (in some cases half of the trip!) makes the holiday even easier to relax and enjoy.

We have found hosting on Airbnb to be an ideal money earning idea for funding the passions you wish to pursue.

Whether it is traveling the world or other exciting and adventurous projects.

Meeting people from all over the world while hosting only inspires you to explore, learn more and gives you a chance to get a new perspective on areas of your life.

Here are #5 Airbnb advantages and why hosting on Airbnb is worth considering

#1 – Easy Source of Income

People spend many hours of their lives in their home which leads to most people wanting to decorate, organize and design these beautiful buildings we called home.

Why not profit from these creative hours using Airbnb and receive compliments for your ways of living?

Who doesn’t like compliments, right?

Once your listing is set up, Airbnb requires messaging a bit and cleaning and tidying which you would do anyway regularly.

It truly is an easy source of income while you are lying on a beach somewhere in the world.

And will kick start you way to financial freedom!

#2 – Meeting People and Connections

One of the extra airbnb advantages of hosting is getting to know people from other cultures.

Learning, inspiring and helping them can really be rewarding and sometimes you even learn a thing or two about your own city.

When was the last time you were a tourist in your own city?

Guests have different interests and levels of interaction and you as a host decide how involved you would like to be. Some guests are happy on their own; others have a few questions. All up to you.

Making contacts around the world is a great way of setting yourself up for unique experiences once your traveling and if you’re lucky you could end up with a night’s stay with your guests.

#3 – Earn Money From Your Empty Space

Owning a house or renting an apartment is the highest expense most people have. So why pay for this when we aren’t at home or have a whole room we don’t really use?

That space may not be valuable to you but to others it’s perfect.

Have you ever thought of visiting London, Paris or New York and thinking ‘Oh I just need a bed somewhere. There is so much to see here; we won’t be spending any time in the apartment!’

You would be surprised what people are looking for…

We tried offering an air mattress in our lounge in Copenhagen for fun.

Someone requested a booking!

Don’t write off whether people will be interested in staying with you before you have tried. Give it a go!

You’ll be able to start your debt free journey. Well worth a try.

#4 – Well Paid Cleaning

Who can relate to postponing the weekly cleaning, as it isn’t the most exciting activity? When you could be planning your next trip instead?

When getting ready for our next guests we divide the Airbnb income by two as we are a couple and have this number in the back of our heads as our pay for cleaning our apartment.

These are hours we would have put into cleaning the apartment anyway and now someone is paying us for it.

Suddenly cleaning becomes a lot more bearable.

Turn the music on and go for it while thinking of your path to freedom.

#5 – Can I protect myself against damages to my property?

We haven’t ourselves had any incidents throughout our Airbnb hobby but accidents can happen.

As a host preparing for damages to your belongings is simple with a predetermined deposit that Airbnb ‘freezes’ when the guests make the booking.

After the guests have stayed at your place, you have 24 hours to check your apartment for damages and claim an amount for replacing any damages.

Will my valuables be stolen?

We have a box we place our most valuable belongings in and hide it up in our loft. This keeps our peace of mind and if it isn’t possible to hide them all: Increase the deposit amount to cover them in such a case.

In rare cases of serious damage to property like a broken water pipe causing a flood, Airbnb has a ‘Host Guarantee’ covering damages up to 1.000.000 dollars on every booking.

To Sum Up

• Easy income with little extra work effort
• Meet and create connections around the world
• Get paid for empty your space
• Well paid for cleaning
• Damages are covered by deposit and Airbnb guarantee

We would like to admit: Yes, the first guests are always the hardest. It is a weird feeling to have other people staying in your home amongst your stuff, we know!

But this is only until you get used to the concept and having the good experience of hosting for curious and friendly people.

Our advice is to give it a try and experience the Airbnb advantages!

Well worth it.
