How does Houfy help hosts get direct bookings?

! The condition has always been: Hosts need to 

 their listings themselves and report errors to us to fix. (This is an ongoing process)

Houfy is a host centered and focussed website. Without you Houfy would not be where it is today. Houfy will remain this way!

Which hosts are having succes? I believe most hosts who actively promote their listings and who are actively involved with our community are the ones who win. Listing on Houfy without any further involvement will likely result in not much activity. Why? Because Houfy is currently 

 and we do not promote Houfy much as it would cost us a fortune!

Direct bookings can come from return guests, from host promotions on social sites, word of mouth or from posts in specific Facebook Groups.

"Swapnil and I will need to make a dashboard - showing listing views per day/week/month etc."  We can then also reward hosts who help Houfy by promoting their listings, getting bookings etc. in the form of discounts for featured listings/last minute deals etc. Houfy needs to be a win/win platform for hosts.

I will need to start charging hosts for our services, otherwise I will go bankrupt in keeping Houfy up and running for much longer. 

Now: We are at a stage where Houfy needs to go to level 2.. Our traffic has been stagnant, bookings have gone up and listings are being added daily. 

Help us! I'm going to overload you with some information here..

We are on a mission to help hosts with their direct bookings in any way we can.
