Publisher's summary
Ever thought of putting an end to your nine-to-five office grind and setting a course to a personally and financially rewarding effort? It's time for you to be a vacation/Airbnb host/rental entrepreneur!
The audiobook will guide you through every step you need to take to become a five-star Airbnb host and make super profits. Airbnb's online rental site has been growing steadily since it launched in 2008 and now has more than 800,000 listings worldwide. If you're on this page, you're likely to think about how you can take advantage of this growing trend in home rentals so you can cash in on the earning potential just sitting in your home.
The audiobook will take you through every move you need to be a great host, from setting up your listing to engaging with your guests, to ensuring five-star ratings. It will even help you predict how much you can do on Airbnb in a year and how you can simplify some of the work involved so you can just sit back and watch the money roll in!
Who is this audiobook made for?
- Airbnb hosts who want to take it to the next level
- People who want financial freedom and want to leave their full-time job
- Airbnb hosts who want to systemize their check-in, check-out, cleaning, and messaging
- Work-at-home moms who want to make some money on the side
- People who want to meet new people and make some extra money at the same time
- Airbnb hosts who wonder how hosts manage 10 or more properties, this is the audiobook that will tell you how!
You can do this, too, if you own a house. What would you do this month with an additional $2,500? Book your family vacation? Bring it in the direction of your kids' college fund? Pay off some loans, huh? You will start making money on Airbnb as early as next week if you listen to this audiobook.

Story
In my youth, I never thought I could own any property, let alone more than one. When I started my real estate business, I had no idea what to do or where to begin. I didn’t even know there were so many paths to consider. I wish I had someone guided me through the beginning stages of learning how to get into real estate. Years later, I’m happy to provide the shortcuts I wish I had known to get started. Now I’m making the income I never thought I could, and I’m now financially free to work when and how I want. The only regret I’ve ever had is wishing I had started sooner.

Just like tenants have their share of responsibilities, so do you as their landlord and property manager. For first-time landlords, all of this can be very overwhelming.

If you’re a forward-focused thinker, you may be dreaming about leaving the workforce to enjoy an easier life in retirement or you might even be considering retiring early. But a dream without a plan is just a wish. Passive income is money you earn in a way that requires little to no daily effort to maintain. Some passive income ideas - like renting out property or building a blog - may take some work to get up and running, but they could eventually earn you money while you sleep.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Story
When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Story
For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.
