Learn Hostbnb, then learn to earn with it
Start with the four steps that take you from signing up to a guest page that answers for you. Then see how the recommendations you're already writing can pay.
How to use Hostbnb
Four steps, in order. Each one is a short how-to you can finish in a sitting — the whole path is roughly an evening's work and then it runs on its own.
Prefer to poke at it? The free plan publishes a real page with no card, so you can build the first one while you read.

The recommendations you just wrote can pay
Once your picks are on the page, the businesses behind them can pay a referral commission when your guest actually turns up. You keep 70% of it, your guest never pays more, and every paid relationship is labelled on the page.
- You keep 70% of each commission — included on every plan, free one included
- You approve every partner before it appears on your page
- Commissions confirm after the service, then pay out monthly
