To be a successful vacation rental host, you need the one thing we know you don’t have… a lot of time.
Time to learn the ropes, time to understand the industry’s ins and outs, and time to compare notes with others doing the same thing.
But if you’re like many hosts, you probably run your rental on the side, combining it with the pressures of everyday life and a hectic job, so any learning has to happen in the early hours of the morning, in your car, on the subway and during stolen moments here and there.
So, how can you grow your business and build your reputation as a fantabulous host, while keeping all these balls in the air?
Or maybe you are a full-time, experienced host with more than one rental and want to become an expert in one specific business area. How do you find up-to-date, succinct info you can trust?
Yes, there is a way: the Lodgify Academy!

From buying a property to managing your taxes, we’ll teach you everything you need to start and grow a successful vacation rental business!
Our second course teaches you how to use SEO for your short term rental website to increase your direct bookings: find keywords, structure your website and develop your link-building strategy.
Our third course is all about social media for vacation rentals, because having a social media presence is essential for succeeding at this game. It covers how to define a social media strategy, which platforms to use, and top tips for moving from a mere social media user to a pro.
