Hire a professional photographer! That's what my brain has been telling me the whole time I browse all these cringy listing photos on Airbnb.

Last week, we discussed how to set up your Airbnb listing correctly. Today, I want to talk about the five common mistakes people make with their Airbnb photos.

For Airbnb beginners, I know you want to save every penny you have when putting up your first Airbnb listing since money isn't coming in yet. 

But if you want that money to start knocking at your door asap, you got to shell out a few bucks to get your Airbnb photos looking clean, well-lighted, and inviting by hiring a professional photographer (or at least learn how to take pictures the right way).

Your photos are the deciding factor in whether or not people would stay at your Airbnb rental unit.

So, tune in to today's episode as we check out a couple of Airbnb photos, determine what's wrong with them, and what you can do to make them clickable when posted online.

If you want to succeed in house hacking on your first try and start building a passive income through Airbnb short-term rentals, then make sure to tune in to this week's episode of Women Creating Wealth.

Let's dive in!
