Ready to Start a Co-Hosting Business? The Co-Host Code is Your Ultimate Playbook

If you’re reading this, you probably love the world of hospitality and short-term rentals. You might already be helping a friend with their Airbnb, or maybe you’re wondering, “Could I turn this into a real business?” Let me be clear: the answer is a resounding YES. But if you truly want to start a co-hosting business that gives you freedom and real income – not just another job that runs you ragged – you need a playbook. You need The Co-Host Code.

Stop Thinking Like a Helper and Start Leading Like a CEO

Here’s the truth: the biggest thing holding talented women back isn’t a lack of skill. It’s mindset, lady. Too many of us fall into the trap of being the “helper,” the people-pleaser, or the one-woman show who does everything herself. We undercharge for our services and say yes to every request, and before we know it, we’re building a business model based on burnout. And that just isn’t sustainable.

This isn’t your hobby, is it? Nope. This is your BUSINESS. A hobby host asks, “How can I help?” A CEO asks, “What needs to be built?”

The Co-Host Code is your guide to making that critical identity shift. It’s about trading the to-do lists for a vision, setting strategic boundaries, and building a business on systems, not stress.

Why Co-Hosting is the Smarter Way to Scale

Before I wrote this book, I built my own STR portfolio from 10 hours away while working a demanding corporate job. I learned firsthand that you can’t do it all yourself. I also learned that traditional property management and co-hosting are very different business models.

And if I could go back and do it all over again? I’d start with co-hosting.

Why? Because it’s smarter, simpler, and more scalable. With co-hosting, the money flows from the guest to the owner, and you simply invoice for your services. This model often has fewer licensing requirements and requires almost no upfront capital, making it the perfect entry point for building your empire. You can learn more about the specifics of co-hosting directly from platforms like Airbnb.

How to Start a Co-Hosting Business the Right Way

Jumping into services without a plan won’t get you sustainable results.

The Co-Host Code is the strategic foundation you’ve been missing. It’s not just about messaging guests; it’s about building a real, professional operation from day one.

From Legal to Launch: What’s Inside?

This book is a comprehensive roadmap that walks you through every essential stage of building your business. You’ll get clarity on:

  • Your Offer: Defining exactly what services to offer, from core to premium, and pricing them with confidence
  • Legal & Financial Foundations: Setting up your business entity, getting insurance, and managing money without putting yourself at risk
  • Finding & Onboarding Clients: How to attract the right owner clients and lead them through a professional onboarding process that builds trust from the start
  • Systems & Your Team: Creating the SOPs and building the team that allow your business to run without you being the bottleneck
