Publisher's Summary

The ultimate book for short-term rental hosts who want to abolish their over-reliance on online travel agents!

The Book Direct Blueprint is brought to you by the creator of the Book Direct Playbook, the industry’s highest-rated and most reviewed business book.

Before you build a house, you must put in a solid foundation.

Mark Simpson famously wrote, “Never build your house on somebody else’s land” in his debut best seller, which still serves as a great lesson for short-term rental hosts worldwide.

As the official go-to expert in marketing and direct bookings in the short-term rental industry, Simpson has:

  • Helped over 100,000 hosts boost their direct bookings with his free advice and training
  • Generated over £3 million in direct bookings with his company (Boostly) for hosts in 2022, alone
  • Released over 500 episodes of the award-winning Boostly podcast
  • Thrived in the industry for over a decade!

The Book Direct Blueprint brings together the minds of the most influential leaders from the STR industry, and from Mark’s personal black book of contacts.

Mark has truly taken things up a notch by assembling his own team of avengers, each renowned for a certain area of expertise in the short-term rental industry. So, rest assured, all bases have been covered for you in this new book.

If you're not yet ready to purchase The Book Direct Blueprint, you can always consume free content on the "Boostly" YouTube or Instagram account.

Here, you will learn how to:

  • Effectively price your properties (base price, minimum price, discounts, and customizations)
  • How to create effective upsell opportunities for your business.
  • The power of trust when it comes to the guest booking process.
  • How to automate your business so you don’t have to worry about a double booking again.
  • How to best prepare for Web3 and Blockchain technology
  • Successfully navigate the slow season
  • Identify problem guests before they book and how to protect your business best
