Your Houfeed

The sharing of local information is what differentiates Houfy as a "market network" versus a standalone "marketplace" (ex: listing site).

Please log in. Select Menu > Houfeed.

When you choose to delete something you shared on Houfy, we remove it from the site. Some of this information is permanently deleted from our servers; however, some things can only be deleted when you permanently delete your account.

Writing a story looks a LOT nicer than a regular post. I use regular posts for quick references.

Houfy is a market network for property owners, agents and managers. All members can publish posts on Houfy and, as long as it’s not in violation of our rules, have the potential to find an audience and indirectly your listing(s).

We have made importing a story on Houfy extremely easy.

Why do we write blog posts? Hint: Listing independence. It used to be you could have a property listing and if the listing site had a lot of traffic your listing would be found.

Writing Houfy posts is easy once you get the hang of it–it's even easier to get started on the wrong track. There's no need to go down the same bumpy road some of us already walked! To speed up your learning curve, I've compiled this list so you're not figuring things out alone, and can avoid a "Post clean-up" later down the road. I highly suggest spending 3 minutes reading Introduction to Post, Story, and Collection before continuing.   

Engage more readers with aesthetically pleasing and easy-to-follow content. Not only should your Stories be well-written, they should be visually appealing as well. Utilizing all of Story's formatting options increases the chances of gaining followers on Houfy–and in turn, the likelihood your Stories will be shared on social media.

Updated March 8th, 2021 Q: How long should my post be? There is no exact length and will vary depending on the topic. Keep in mind even very engaged readers will reach the fidgety "abandon article point" around the 7 minute mark.

Hot tubs are wonderful amenities. We want our guests to enjoy the hot tub and be able to enjoy without interruption their entire stay. With weekly chemical balancing and cleaning, the hot tub should remain sanitary for you use. But abuse or misuse can result in an unusable or unsanitary mess! Make sure you know and follow the rules.

Stories: Are they Yours, Mine, or Ours?

Every once in a while you may post a Houfy post, Houfy listing, a blog post, etc. on facebook, and it doesn't pull in your most recent featured pic. This is unrelated to Houfy, it's a facebook issue.

Absolutely!

Hosts can create Collections or Guidebooks, which are curated lists of posts. Collections or Guidebooks can be added on your listing.

A collection is a group of similar posts, or you might only need one post in your collection. This local information is helpful to travelers when choosing where to stay. You can create a collection about hiking, museums, restaurants, etc.

I created a “things to do” collection and I’m trying to create one “post” a day 5 out of 7 days of the week but how do I put the post in the collection?

Go to the post you'd like to save. Click the post's drop down menu. (Circle with 3 dots) Save to one or more existing collections.

We suggest you to first read this document in its entirely before starting to write a story or crate a guidebook.

Houfy is a new concept. An advertising platform combined with a network, you could call this a "market-network".
