DOUBLE your Airbnb bookings (one simple trick)
Summary
This video analyzes why one Airbnb listing earned $137,000 in a year while nearly identical properties nearby earned only $60,000-$74,000.

The most successful hosts find the 'Goldilocks zone'—balancing a high nightly rate with high occupancy (90%+)—rather than underpricing to achieve 100% occupancy or overpricing and leaving the unit empty.
