But before I share that game-changer, I need your help with something personal... (more on that below)

How I Used ChatGPT to Add $5,000 Monthly Revenue to My STR Business (And You Can Too - Starting Today)
The future of short-term rentals arrived last month, and I almost missed it.
Like you, I was skeptical about AI tools until they helped me turn a six-week process into a four-day sprint.
Here's what changed my mind:
🔑 The Revenue Breakthrough
Remember my formula? L x C x F x M = GP (Leads x Customers x Frequency x Margin = Growth Potential).
We just cracked the code on maximizing that 'M' using ChatGPT, and the results are staggering.
The $5,000 Monthly Discovery:
- One guest bought an additional cleaning service for $200
- Our cost: $130
- Pure profit: $70 on autopilot
- Scale: 30% of 75 monthly bookings = $5,000 extra revenue
And this required just 45 minutes of setup time.
The Game-Changing System:
1. Use AI to create personalized guidebooks
2. Include affiliate links to local services
3. Add custom itineraries based on guest profiles
4. Automate the entire process
Why This Matters Now:
The short-term rental industry is splitting into two camps: those who adapt and those who disappear.
You don't have to understand AI fully - but you do need to start using it.
The Real Question:
Would you rather spend 45 minutes learning something new or watch your competitors capture that extra $5,000 monthly revenue?
Your Next Steps:
1. Start with one property's guidebook
2. Use my AI prompt framework (detailed below)
3. Implement affiliate partnerships
4. Track your revenue growth
