536. Unconventional Ways Hosts Are Making Money Without Overnight Guests


Listen Later

What if your short-term rental could make money without guests sleeping there?

In this episode, Sarah and Annette break down unconventional — but proven — ways hosts are generating additional revenue by leveraging their properties during the day, shoulder seasons, or slower periods.

From commercial photo shoots to coworking days, private events, pool rentals, and wellness experiences, this conversation challenges the idea that overnight stays are the only path to profitability.

You’ll learn:

  1. How hosts are monetizing their properties without overnight guests
  2. Why commercial photography and content creation can be highly profitable
  3. How day-use bookings attract entrepreneurs, teams, and creators
  4. Where private events can make sense — and where they don’t
  5. Why pools, outdoor spaces, and amenities can become revenue drivers
  6. The guardrails you must have in place before exploring these ideas

These strategies aren’t shortcuts — they require planning, boundaries, and intention. But for the right properties and markets, they can unlock meaningful new income streams.
