New vacation rentals face a trust problem, guests won’t book without reviews, but you can’t get reviews without bookings.

This episode breaks down the exact pricing formula successful hosts use to overcome the zero-review barrier, including how much to discount, how long to maintain promotional rates, and when to raise prices as your credibility builds.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Why 20% below market rate is the optimal discount for new listings (and why going deeper can backfire)

✅ The 8-10 review milestone that signals when to start raising your rates gradually

✅ How to screen for scammers who target discounted properties during your launch phase

✅ Multi-channel distribution tactics that get your unreviewed property in front of more potential guests
