Isaac G. Leon-acunaNeeds direct links related to the guest.In Apple podcast. Please, add links (I.e., website, social media, resources, etc.) specifically related to the guest who was on for a given episode. There are only the same repetitive links regarding Boostly which can come across as selfish marketing to some degree since the guest is not advertised in the same way through links. Just my personal opinion. Otherwise, good show, good content. Better if it stays short in duration, with direct actionable points, and good informative advice. Keep it up. Thanks.

Shugi212Direct booking bibleI listen to Marks podcast for a while, it changed the way we market our vacation rentals and opened a new stream of income to our portfolio 🙏🏻.

drmcc15All short term rental owners need this incredible info!I’ve learned more from Boostly in a few weeks than I have in over 8 years of successfully running my own STRs! Trying to wean ourselves off the big OTRs, and Boostly has crazy easy to implement ideas to make that happen!
-

MStone219Subscribe for Instant GratificationMark’s podcast is perfect for hosts. They’re always a quick listen and the bite-size advice is easily digestible for busy hosts focused on scaling. I often find myself listening to one or two podcasts real quick before I start any other podcast I came to listen to. It’s SO easy. In particular this podcast is perfect for hosts looking to join the Direct Booking movement to start making money WITHOUT OTAs. That means you will have 4 sources of income PER listing (Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and YOURSELF). Mark is the KING in this space. Do yourself a favor, join the direct booking movement, and there is literally nobody more helpful in creating that strategy for you than Mark Simpson. I started following Boostly last month and I’ve already made more money because of Mark Simpson

GPs05TweetyAmazing - Book DirectI just finished up his Book Direct training and I was not disappointed. I’m just starting out in this STR space and it was important for me to attend and absorb as much information as possible. Mark has a wealth of knowledge that he shares and you’re going to want to listen up!

bionicfawnA must-subscribe podcast!Do not pass this one up. Mark with Boostly is the genuine article. His materials are chock full of instantly-implementable tips and tricks for moving your vacation rental’s dependency off of the OTAs and their restrictions, and out into a world of freedom where you can take control of your listing’s visibility, bookability and integrity. He will teach you how to focus and succeed at making direct bookings the primary way you do business with easy, actionable steps. I’m personally grateful for being introduced to Mark’s teachings as I’m ready to no longer be pushed about by disreputable guests who know how to work the system at the OTAs. Thank you, Mark for helping me find the success path that alleviates so much stress!
-
Sarah PeabodyPerfect for Action Takers!If you manage a vacation rental and want to be less dependent on OTAs then this is the podcast for you! Mark from Boostly is so generous with all of the free marketing tips he shares on his podcast, YouTube channel, Facebook Page, and Instagram. As soon as I hear his amazing and easy to follow advice I implement right away and get fantastic results. Thank you Mark!!!
