Don't want to rely solely on websites like Airbnb and VRBO to bring income to your short term rental? Here's how to drive traffic to your direct booking website in 2024. Like many of you, we built a direct booking website for our short term rental/airbnb and were bummed when we didn't have any traffic flowing to it. So in this video we break down how over the last year we have started gaining hundreds and thousands of views on our website which has lead to real bookings on our direct booking website. We'll be back next week with a vlog to catch you up on what we've been up to but for now we hope you enjoy this video and can get some value out of what we have learned.

New to our channel? Well, hi there! We're Kristen and Michael, a couple embarking on a wild adventure of transforming our dream desert home into a shortterm rental biz! As crazy as it sounds, we decided to ditch our beloved Los Angeles (which we called home for 7 years) and chase our wildest dreams of owning a piece of land in California. And guess what? We did it! We finally bought our desert house in the summer of 2021, and we've been DIYing our hearts out ever since! We're talking about an (almost) complete renovation, from top to bottom! But that's not all! We're also building our business from scratch, with the goal of sharing our little oasis with our family, friends, and even strangers from all over the world. So come on and join us on this crazy ride! We promise it'll be full of laughs, tears, and lots of DIY fails (and wins!). Welcome to our channel!
