Real Talk for Hosts: My Chat with Host Planet 🎙️
Learn how STR hosts can use AI to streamline marketing, write better prompts, and create content faster—without losing the human touch. As I chat with Host Planet!
Creating consistent, engaging content for your short-term rental can feel like a full-time job — especially when you’re already juggling bookings, guest communication, and everything in between.
That’s why I joined James Varley on the Host Planet podcast to share how AI can make marketing easier, faster, and more manageable — even if you’re not tech-savvy.
🎙️ This bitesize episode is packed with practical tips, including:
- How to write clear, detailed prompts that actually get good results
- Why editing AI-generated content is non-negotiable
- Tools I recommend (and how to choose the best fit for your business)
- How to make AI feel less intimidating — and more like a helpful assistant
Whether you’re writing property descriptions, social captions, or guest emails, AI can save you time without sacrificing that personal touch. But only if you know how to use it well — and that’s exactly what we cover.

Independent hotels and vacation rentals should run a 10-minute AI audit to see how tools like ChatGPT, Google summaries, and OTAs are publicly describing their property without their input. When AI-generated descriptions don’t match reality, expectation gaps erode reviews, ratings, and direct bookings, making proactive source updates a critical part of modern hospitality marketing.

Most independent operators market their property at its best and never see the gap that forms on normal days. The Tuesday Test is a framework for closing the distance between what your listing promises and what midweek guests actually find.

Guests don't return to "fine." They return to specific. This post shows how to find or create one memorable moment that earns direct bookings and referrals instead of handing repeat guest revenue back to OTAs.
