Description
Think charging extra per guest is helping you make more money? Think again.

They’ll break down:
- Why Airbnb’s new “all-in” pricing model makes per-guest fees confusing and expensive for guests
- How hidden fees tank your conversion rate without you realizing it
- A smarter alternative that keeps your pricing clear and competitive
- How to create “parent” and “child” listings that attract different guest groups—without friction
