The playbooks we run portfolios with. Yours free.
Three field manuals from a team that manages short-term rentals for a living. Normally $19 each. Free right now, delivered to your inbox, and every future edition is free forever.
The Direct Booking Playbook
The honest manual for building a booking channel you own. The legal groundwork the platforms quietly handle for you, the website and payment stack, the wedge pricing rule, and the guest-capture loop that turns platform guests into your guests. Researched against the 2026 fee rules, not the folklore.
- The wedge: price so the guest saves and you still keep more
- The capture system, rewritten for the 2025 off-platform rules
- Chargeback, fraud, and double-booking playbooks
- A 90-day rollout that sequences the whole build
Pricing Like a Revenue Team
Hotels reprice every room every day; most hosts price once at launch and hope. This is the version of revenue management one host can actually run: the anchor, the year map, the moves, and a twenty-minute weekly loop that keeps your rates honest all year.
- The base-rate anchor, derived from your real comp set
- The year map: one afternoon that prices twelve months
- Gap nights, lead-time postures, and last-minute rules
- The 20-minute Monday and the three metrics that matter
The Guest Messaging Scripts Pack
Forty-one word-for-word scripts for the whole life of a stay: the discount ask, the vague group, the party at 11 p.m., the 1 a.m. lockout, the refund you owe and the one you don’t, and the reply that saves your review section. Improv is exhausting. Stop doing it.
- Every script built on the same three-move anatomy
- The incident scripts that win platform disputes
- Review asks, review replies, and the win-back note
- Bracketed and ready to paste into your booking tool
