How To Make Money On Airbnb

If you have a home and an Internet connection, you may very well be sitting on a goldmine. You could be making hundreds of dollars a night. Even just renting out a spare room could bring in well over $1000 a month!

Renting in the short-stay market, when done correctly, crushes the return from long-term tenants. Like hundreds of thousands of people, you can boost your rental profits by 2 to 3 times with the most well known short-stay marketplace in the world: Airbnb.

If you have a home or spare room that is ever empty (when you are on holiday for example) you are missing out on significant rental income!

Things you’ll learn in this book:

This step-by-step guide to renting your home on the Airbnb platform teaches you in detail how to take advantage of this opportunity. It covers: • How Jasper went from making $24,000 per year to $60,000 from his apartment in Amsterdam • How to prepare your home like a 5-star hotel in a cost-effective manner • How to set up a dazzling and polished Airbnb listing from start to finish • How to communicate with guests in a professional and responsive way • How to scientifically calculate an optimal price point for profit maximization • How to catapult your search rank within the Airbnb platform

**This book comes with a FREE audio book**

Get Paid For Your Pad is the definitive book for Airbnb hosts and includes:

•little known tips & tricks to optimize your listing

•examples from real, profitable Airbnb listings

•stories and strategies from successful Airbnb hosts

•"Do This Now" action items to get your listing ready for primetime

Awesome read!

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2014

This book is a brilliant and comprehensive guidebook on creating an A-list Airbnb profile. What I liked most is that it has an in-depth explanation from an economic perspective, taking the reader step-by-step from the beginning all the way to establish a profitable listing. It explained so well and practical in setting up an optimal pricing according to varies time. They also cleared many doubts or worries about properties safely issues which particularly useful for those who are planning to host on AIrbnb.

Together with the story of the author, this book is not simply an economic guidebook, it is a real life inspiring story about taking a leap in the pursuit of ultimate freedom which the author most desired. It is always been a tough choice in life between letting go comforts or facing the unknown in order to achieve a passionated life. The courage he did put it into action as well as his enthusiasm on achieving the most are really something worth to admire. It absolutely gives colours to this book.

No matter it is a well-established host or a completely newbie to AIrbnb, this is definitely the one to go! I enjoyed reading it very much and will recommend for people who strive on living a passionate life! Wishing this first book a huge success and look forward to more publications to come.

$300 Extra Every Week...Yes Please

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

I can't say enough good things about this book. It has absolutely everything you need to know about renting out your place on Airbnb. It walks you step by step on how to maximize your profits with your listing and not only explains what you need to do, but why you need to do it, which is essential for a newbie like me.

This book actually came along at the perfect time for me, because I was looking to rent out my place on Treasure Island in San Francisco. I wasn't exactly sure how to go about it or what to do, but Get Paid for Your Pad put my concerns at ease. I just followed the clear and pointed instructions from the book, and next thing you know my place is generating extra money for me on the side.

I was able to generate $300 in extra cash flow in the first week of listing on Airbnb, so everything this book contains really is quite amazing and powerful. And it works! I highly recommend Get Paid for Your Pad to anyone looking to get into the Airbnb market. I'm so glad I bought it, or my extra room would still be sitting there generating precisely zero. Thanks so much.

I've been in the airbnb game for a few years now and I've read all the books on this subject out there, most of them can be summed up in one word - useless!! This book is different though, this book truly is a game changer, no theory, no BS, no fluff, just straight up solid advice! Being an avid listener of Jasper and Huzefas podcasts (which are excellent by the way - well worth a listen) I had high expectations before reading this book and I'm glad to say that these expectations were smashed out of the water (which is kind of unusual for me).
I can see why this book is a number one best seller in its class. It is packed full of super useful actionable step by step guides and real life case studies. Since reading this book and following the advice outlined therein, I've been booked solid and getting consistently amazing reviews. I cannot praise this book enough so stop reading this review and go buy it already!!

I purchased this book whilst in the planning stages of setting up the ground floor of my two storey home as an airbnb apartment. Jasper gave me numerous insights on the optimal paths to take, and no doubt saved me from some costly trial and error. I highly recommend this read if you are starting out. If you are a seasoned host you may still pick up a few tricks. It's a shame that there isn't more quantifiable substance around airbnb's infuriating search algorithm though.

An excellent book that manages to be both insightful and helpful on virtually every page.

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

You can safely skip the first ~20 pages if the story behind the book is less appealing, or you’d simply rather get down to business.

Get Paid For Your Pad is a step-by-step introduction to the world of renting our your space on AirBnB. It certainly isn’t rocket science, and a few hours of messing around on the site would make your listing serviceable. Hearing the best practices from someone that’s made 6 figures on the site, however, is worth the time to read and set things up correctly.

The authors correctly note the processes into making a listing work – not just the online listing, but the offline components of making a guest’s stay as perfect as possible. A number of clever hacks and tricks lit up the ‘I hadn’t thought of that’ light bulb, and it’s clear the step-by-step design has been well thought out. It’s well-formatted with bullet points and a number of colorful action / ‘do-this-now’ type boxes. It was published in August 2014, and the advice will stay relevant for years to come.

Perfect AirBnB Business Plan

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

"Get Paid For Your Pad" is an easy read. It's very insightful as to who, what, when, where, and how to manage your own AirBnB rental. The book is written in such a way that your concerns and ideas are answered plus additional information is mentioned that you may not have thought of.

I plan on purchasing my first property very soon. What I thought might be my first private live in home, has now become more of an AirBnB rental idea, where it can still be my live in home but with guests in mind. "Get Paid For Your Pad" is the best manual for your AirBnB venture and is structured similar to a business plan. You can't go wrong using this inspiring book as a reference guide to renting out your property!

The best Airbnb hosting tool you'll ever find!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

Being clueless about Airbnb hosting I needed a book with all the information required to get started. I bought several, just to be sure. I needn't have bothered buying the others. This was by FAR the best. I read it twice, then referred to various parts from time to time and it proved invaluable. The information is all there, it's written extremely well, holds the reader's interest and covers all aspects of hosting your pad without any wasted time. I followed this book virtually to the letter, listed my pad for the very first time one Saturday afternoon at 4pm and by 7pm I had $2000 worth of reservations. Within two weeks my pad was virtually fully booked for 6 months! So, you can imagine how highly I regard this invaluable Airbnb "bible". Don't think twice about ordering it, you won't be disappointed. It's definitely a God-send to any prospective Airbnb host!

Das Standardwerk zu Airbnb

Reviewed in Germany on June 14, 2017

Wer bei Airbnb vermietet oder vermieten möchte und sicher Englisch kann, sollte zu diesem Buch greifen. Warum?

Das Buch ist sehr gut strukturiert. Von der Einrichtung der Mieteinheit über den Aufbau des Angebots und vor allem der Umgang mit den Mietern und die so wichtige Erzielung von guten Bewertungen wird alles systematisch erklärt.Das Kapitel zur Preisfindung ist sehr gut.

Aus meiner Sicht empfiehlt sich das Buch sowohl für Anfänger als auch erfahrene Vermieter. Für mich hat sich der Kaufpreis wegen der enthaltenen Musterschreiben schon nach zwei Tagen bezahlt gemacht.
Ich nutze es weiter als Nachschlagewerk.

Eingestreut sind Geschichten von Airbnb Vermietern, die allesamt durch die Vermietung in ein glückliches, sorgenfreies Leben gefunden haben. Diese sind Geschmackssache, aber man kann es ja überblättern.

Ich bereue den Kauf keine Sekunde.

Great book - Made me money this month.

Reviewed in Canada on December 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

Downloaded this book at the recommendation of a friend, and it's been a huge help. It helps you understand the way AirBnB works in detail, so you can get the most for your listing. It led me through the process of getting AirBnB set up and getting those first customers and reviews.

The book is also very well written, Jasper has an easy to understand style, and he does a good job of explaining the economics of earning more on AirBnB without sounding too academic or complicated.

Update: After applying what I learned from this book in late November, I got my first rental Dec 1st, and made $800 over the holiday season. Not bad!
