• First you need to see if your property, house,
  condo etc are suitable for vacation rental
  businesses. Every country has its own rules and
  standards which have to be fulfilled prior to
  start up. Besides legal aspects you should always
  check if your geographical areas is popular, is
  it in the center of the city, do I have all
  necessary features such as high-speed internet,
  Jacuzzi, sauna etc.

• Prepare the Exterior and your Interior. Your
  property should be presentable and functional
  both externally and internally. This is one of
  the most delicate steps of your preparation so
  make sure that your house is really ready for
  travelers. If your property is hostel make sure
  that you have robust furniture, if you own a
  hotel adjust it completely to the needs of your
  market.

• Prepare internally for constant cleaning or find
  suitable external service - one of the most
  important factors for evaluation of any
  accommodation property rental is definitely
  cleanliness. As the number of your bookings
  increase probably you would find some specialized
  agency to perform this for you.

• Prove a Key or to your Guests the best would be
  to meet them personally, show them property and
  get their contact details. Also you can outsource
  this or simply create box where you will place
  keys for your guest. Make sure to create
  duplicates of your keys since loss of keys is one
  of the most frequent things in accommodation
  business. If necessary be prepared to change your
  lock completely.

  upon Arrival - this is very important aspect in
  order to protect yourself but also to ensure that
  your guests will have the best possible time at
  your vacation property rental (that will affect
  your position on apartment ratings website list).

• Take the best photos and videos of your property
  - our experience shows that free rental ads with
  visuals have 60 more conversions than those
  listings without photos - make sure you have
  fantastic photos of your property (combine them
  with amazing apartment website templates) so that
  your guests can be sure what they are getting. We
  advise you not to use fake or photoshopped images
  - deceiving your guests is never good strategy
  especially today with social media in place.
  Before you even know your property will be black
  listed.

• One of the most important parts of online real
  estate advertising and vacation property rental
  promotion is creation of free tourism website. We
  advise you to create your rental website by using

  vacation rental website reviews list) - it is the
  only place where you will be able to get free
  responsive design website for your accommodation
  property rental.

  and many others.

• Google adwords, Facebook paid ads, and SEO for
  your website - perform all of these. Although
  posting free rental ad for your apartment web
  design is always fantastic idea - we suggest you
  to use expert advise once you reach this stage or
  do-it-yourself - set up your first adwords
  campaign, or start working on search engine
  optimization for your website.
