Optimize YOUR Bnb: The Definitive Guide to Ranking #1 in Airbnb Search by a Prior Employee

The author doesn't just teach-he lives it. In 2021, he bought The Belmonte Penthouse, a struggling vacation rental, and 4x'd its revenue in the first year. In 2024, he did it again-doubling income on his next short-term rental. This is not fluff. This is the real playbook, written by the expert that other experts turn to.

Every Airbnb problem falls into one of three buckets: search rank, pricing, or reviews. Optimize YOUR Bnb shows you how to master all three.

Written by former Airbnb employee Daniel Rusteen-also a Superhost, 3,000-night Airbnb guest, real estate investor, and property manager-this all-in-one guide gives you everything you need to stand out in a crowded market and maximize your rental income.

Still deciding which Airbnb book to buy?

The author is the only expert who promotes his Airbnb profile, showing off and proud of his revenue-maximizing listings and 4.91 rating average.
