Getting a change of scenery can really help inspire creativity in my work and has once or twice or maybe more cured my writer's block. Being away for work, for fun, or for both is a perfect opportunity to host your space on Airbnb. That way, not only do you get to experience a new part of the world, but you're also making money while you're doing it.
And if you think hosting is overwhelming, I have a solve for you. With Airbnb's co-host network, it is easier than ever before to host. Now you can hire a high-quality local co-host to take care of your home and your guests. They can do everything from creating your listing to managing reservations to messaging guests and providing on-site support. They can even help with design and styling.
Also, by hosting on Airbnb, you can become part of another family's story, maybe even their hero. As you know, I stayed in an Airbnb for months when my house burned down, and I truly do not know what I would have done otherwise. So if you've got a secondary property or an extended trip coming up and you need a little help hosting while you're away, you could hire a co-host to do the work for you.
Find a co-host at airbnb.com slash host. I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab.
