————————————————————
In July last year, I made [b]$7,579[/b] while vacationing in Bali. [i]How did I make that much[/i]? I made it by doing [i]nothing[/i]. Absolutely [i]nothing[/i]. All I had to do was rent my apartment out on AirBNB and leave for the month.
Yes, you read that right. I got paid [b]$260 / day[/b] just to simply not be in my apartment.
Have you heard of AirBNB?
[i]
I bet you have[/i]. If you don't use it, chances are someone you know does. Its that hot new startup that lets you rent out your spare room or your whole space for money, and the company is growing like wildfire. AirBNB now has over [b]350,000 hosts[/b], who are just ordinary people, renting their spaces in [b]192 countries[/b]. Last year alone, they booked [i]10 million rental nights[/i] in homes, apartments, rooms, and spaces [b]JUST LIKE YOURS[/b].
[i]You know what the best part is[/i]? A private room on AirBNB rents for an [b]average $120 / night[/b]. YOU could make that just by renting out a spare room (or 3x that for your whole space!)
Last year I personally made over [b]$60,000[/b] renting out my space on AirBNB [i]with only 4~ hours of work per week.[/i]
[i](Don't believe me? Theres a preview course in section 1 where I show you my income)[/i]
Is this abnormal? [b]Not at all[/b]. I helped several of my friends list their places on AirBNB and they all make [i]at a minimum[/i] $2,000 / month. Thousands of hosts on AirBNB make well over [b]$100,000[/b] a year just from their rental income and with [i]only one[/i] property!
When I first started hosting on AirBNB, I thought "[i]what the heck, its worth a shot[/i]" and WOW am I glad I did. You see, I just moved to San Francisco and had signed a big one year lease for an apartment that was $3,000 a month. Big liability, right? Not to mention, I'm self employed, and my business ebbs and flows. [i]What if I hit a bad month and can't make rent[/i]? I know everyone reading this has had to worry about that one time or another. Its a terrible feeling but I knew it could be all too real.
The first month I started AirBNB, I made [b]$4,963[/b]![i] It blew my expectations away[/i]. That [i]covered my rent, utilities, cleanings[/i], and I [i]pocketed an extra $1,500[/i] that month. In one month, I went from worrying about rent and thinking I would have to move out, to getting rent covered and getting paid an [i]extra $1,500 [/i]a month just for occasionally renting my extra space.
AirBNB [b]saved me[/b], like it saved so many others.
Just so you know, the spaces on AirBNB are [b][i]not[/i][/b] hotel quality spaces. They are [i]spare rooms, apartments, homes[/i] that everyday [i]ordinary people[/i] live and use. They are spare bedrooms, livings rooms, empty condos, spare family homes, and any other dwelling you can think of.
[b]Look around you[/b]. [i]Do you have extra space where you are living? Do you ever leave for the weekend or go home for the holidays?[/i]
If you’re like me, or really anyone else, [i]I bet you do[/i].
You could be missing out on a [i]serious amount of money[/i]. Money that could make a [b]big difference[/b] in your life.

· How to up your rental price 150% and get the best paying guests
· How to limit your rental related work to 3-4 hours a week MAX.
· How to virtually guarantee 5 star reviews from each guest
· How to scope out your competition and land on the first page of search

[i]-----------------------------------------------------[/i]
[i]Some common questions:[/i]
Can anyone do this?
Yes, absolutely anyone can do this. AirBNB is in 192 countries and even in cities with fewer than 10,000 people. With my
course I'll show you exactly how you can be successful in any environment.
[i]What if my space isn’t nice?[/i]
[i]Every[/i] space has a price and if you follow my steps you can maximize that price. If you’re not happy with the price you get, follow my advice and you can easily get more and more per night.
[i]What if I don’t own my space, I just rent it?[/i]
Even if you don't own your space, even if you don't think you have room, even if you think your city is too small, you CAN
rent out your space!
-------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: Last month (December), I decided to go home for the holidays and see my family, just like the rest of you. I rented out my space while I was gone and made $3,323. That covered my rent for the entire month, + my airfare back home!
--------------------------------------------------------------
I want [b]YOU[/b] to share in the freedom that I now have. I [i]know[/i] this can work for everyone reading this and I've already helped countless potential hosts, just like you, to list their space. Here is what a couple of them had to say:
"[i]I was temporarily unemployed while I was trying to switch jobs. I really needed something so I could cover rent while I looked for my next gig. I tried out AirBNB but just didn't know how to work it. At first, I wasn't really getting bookings so I asked for Evan's help. He has a system and put my listing through it. Talk about a HUGE difference. Now I'm renting my side room for $150 / night, covering rent, AND getting an extra $1,000 a month. And I'm not even really doing that much at all[/i]"

And of course, the following is my favorite :) . When I started creating this course I hired an audio freelancer to help
correct my problems with saying "uhh" and "you know" (I'm not made for radio, what can I say). Just by listening to my course, he decided to list his space, and now [i]within a month[/i] has his rent completely paid for!
Here's what he had to say:
"[i]Evan's lectures provide a profound and thoughtful insight of what AirBnB can do for you. This course greatly enhanced my possibilities as a host on AirBnB. As I applied Evan's tips on my listing, amazing things started to happen immediately. This course is a great investment, whether you want to use AirBnB occasionally or if your are looking at it as a long-term and constant source of income. I totally recommend it.[/i]"

AirBNB was a life changer for me and I want it to be the same for you. I’ve studied the AirBNB market, have hosted personally over 200 guests, and have collaborated with 5 other rockstar hosts to bring this course together. In this course you’ll get everything you need to skip the painful learning process of starting your listing and start maximizing your profit quickly.
[b][i]If you follow my advice, I guarantee you will be successful with your AirBNB listing. If you’re struggling I’m always here 7 days a week to answer your questions personally.[/i][/b]
[b]P.S.[/b]
If you aren’t completely thrilled with the skills and the experience I present you in this course, you can ALWAYS get your money back within 30 days. No questions asked, for any reason, I promise.
