Rental Scale-UP (formerly RentalPreneurs)

If you are looking to improve your vacation rental business, you may want to check out my website Rental Scale-Up (formerly called RentalPreneurs.com). This is where I share my findings on what’s working for my own vacation rentals and in the industry in general.

I’ve learnt a lot from talking with fellow rental owners and with many short-term rental management companies, from listening to industry podcasts, from participating in industry forums, to name a few information resources. Rental Scale-Up is my way of paying back the community and of learning more by interviewing people with a great perspective on where vacation rentals are heading.

What’s the catch? What am I getting from this? Well, I am not getting any cash, and it does cost me time and money to work during my free time on the blog. Yet, I am getting something of great value: A great network of vacation rental professionals to whom I can then ask questions about my own rental business, because I have helped them first. Some have become real friends over the years, and we’ve met in Bali, Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam and other places.

Rental Scale-Up is made up of 3 things:

A blog where industry leaders share their insights on the short-term rental industry, where fellow vacation rental owners and mangers give actionable tips on how to increase bookings, and where I share my own findings.

For instance, you may be interested in reading:

• Why Use Niche Vacation Rental Listing Sites to Get More Bookings and More Independence
• My Presentation at the VRMA conference: How to use Facebook to reactivate leads and past guests that have gone cold
• 23 Experts Weigh In On The Biggest Vacation Rental Website Design Mistakes
• 15 things to do today to get more low season vacation rental bookings

I also wanted to share the actual tools and techniques that I am using to run my vacation rental business.

I have thus created a free member site called Rental Scale-Up Club. For instance, users get my email automation sequences, a course on how to create landing pages, a video lesson on how to write leadmagnet, and an step-by-step guide on how to gain more freedom from the big listing sites by creating a wordpress website for their vacation rental.

I deliver to your email inbox the best of the blog, once a month. 100% free, 0% spam.

I published in 2014 the #1 French guide for Airbnb hosts, titled “Airbnb : Doublez vos Réservations“.
