Airbnb Just Gave You a 15% Pay Cut
15% isn’t the problem. Thinking Airbnb is your business is.
Every booking, you’re handing Airbnb 1 of every 7 nights.
Not because you agreed.
Because they changed the rules.
Hosts are panicking.
Margins are thinner.
Complaints are loud.
But here’s the truth:
The problem isn’t the 15%.
The problem is thinking Airbnb is your business.
Airbnb Is a Marketing Channel — Not Your Business
Airbnb is just a marketing channel you now pay 15.5% for. That’s it.
The winning play is simple:
Use it to bring in new guests.
Deliver the best stay of their life.
Earn their loyalty.
Next time? 0% fees. 100% margin.
Airbnb will keep changing the rules. The hosts who win are the ones who’ve built systems that make those changes irrelevant.
Why I’m Releasing the Direct Booking Power Pack
I’ve seen too many indie hosts, property managers, and small hoteliers lose margin, control, and peace of mind because they built their business on someone else’s land.
So I built a starter system that puts tools back in your hands:
Start Here Checklist: your step-by-step map so you don’t get overwhelmed.
Direct Booking Starter Toolkit: reset your pricing, collect guest emails, and launch a booking site guests trust.
Bonus Resource Pack: contracts, policies, and trust-building templates Airbnb will never hand you.
AI Quick Wins: prompts to write guest messages, marketing emails, and review highlights in minutes.
Normally, consultants charge thousands for what’s inside. I’m giving you the Founder’s Edition free, because owners, hosts and managers deserve big wins.
Here’s the Play
Airbnb just gave you a pay cut.
Your counterpunch is to build a direct booking system that makes their fee irrelevant.

Not surprised by this. Good solution tho!
