Airbnb ambassador, to apply or not?

Question

Hi, STR fellow investors

I got an email from Airbnb saying that I am qualified to apply for Airbnb ambassador. Should I apply? What are pros and cons applying for this role?

Any thoughts are welcomed!

I think you have to wear a crown or some kind of royal robe when you meet tenants.

I have been invited just recently and been getting a fair amount of activity - I am now officially "Superhost Ambassador" and I get several inquiries per week, some don't require any work, some new hosts ask good questions and usually I share a resource from the Airbnb site. Is it worth it? A little early to tell, but I like helping people so it doesn't feel like work and I don't have to handle turnovers 😌

Anyone reading this who is not yet a host, ask me anything :) https://www.airbnb.com/r/newto...

I got invited a year ago when they started. Never bothered. I don't spend my time trying to convince other people to become airbnb hosts. Seems like a lot of hoops to jump through just to get a higher referral bonus.

As a follow up I wanted to post a quick update that is available in its long form here:

Short version: the Ambassador program has become a nice income stream I didn’t suspect could be this significant! And the amount of work is minimal so I am trying to ramp it up and continue to provide free mentorship to new Airbnb hosts.

I am an AirBnB Ambassador...I guesss... :)

I have referred 1 person and they were doing it anyway, but used my link.  I don't think I'll qualify for Ambassador of the Quarter. AirBnB sent me $720 for my efforts.

They've now dropped that number to $475 it looks like. You get $47 as well.

If you are about to build an AirBnB listing...I'm your man!
