How much is Airbnb costing you right now?


Hey—Ben here

Over the last 5 years, our team has scaled a portfolio of unique stays to $50M+ in property value.

How?

We got extremely clear on how much revenue we were losing by relying on OTAs like Airbnb. And once we calculated that number, we knew we needed to shift to a direct booking strategy.

When you do this for your own property, you’ll see:

  • What you’re really paying OTAs in commissions every year (many don’t actually want to know this).
    ​
  • Your NOI today vs. what it could be on mostly-direct bookings (the number that moves your valuation).
    ​
  • What every $1 you spend on marketing generates for the business (so you stop wondering whether it’s “working”).
    ​
  • Your property’s value today vs. after you go direct (helpful whether you plan to keep or sell down the road)
    ​
  • How you stack up against both of my properties, plus a target to work toward (a real benchmark from two of my properties that already got there!)

So, we turned the exact model we built for Onera Fredericksburg into a plug-in-your-numbers asset.

One Sunday in Year 1 of running Onera Fredericksburg, I almost threw my laptop out the window. I couldn’t bear to: Look at another unbooked weekend Play another game of “drop the price” chicken with my competitors Wonder if I should discount now or wait closer to the date Sound familiar? As Modern Hospitality operators, we’re constantly walking the tightrope between charging more and being 100% booked. We’re all looking for that single magic bullet, especially when it comes to making pricing...

One of the most overlooked, yet highest-impact content upgrades I’ve seen (after 500M+ views across profiles we manage): Content Hooks. So we did a hook-writing workshop inside our Modern Hospitality Accelerator to help our clients write Reel copy and captions that consistently go viral. Since then our Accelerator clients have been churning out hooks that: Consistently reach their ideal audience (and converting them into followers) Cut their creation time by 50% (without compromising on...

A few months ago, a two-unit glamping operator about 90 minutes from Dallas was struggling to fill his calendar. At the time, he was at: 60% occupancy Discounting to book more guests Generating ~$5,000 per unit per month (with an ambitious goal of $10,000) So, he knew he was drastically undercharging. But the problem was he had no idea how to raise his rates while still getting consistent bookings. 3 months later? His ADR and occupancy rate have increased by 10%. So what changed? He made 3...
