Transcript

0:00Here are three things I wish I knew before I started hosting.

0:03First, hosting isn't about having the most luxurious place, it's about creating a feeling.

0:09Your story, your culture, your background, that's what makes guests feel welcomed and connected.

0:15Second, although my husband and I have experience with long-term rentals, short-term rentals were a whole other ball game that we weren't 100% sure we were ready for.

0:25But Airbnb has tools like smart pricing, guest identity verification, and the Resource Center that grew our confidence as beginner hosts.

0:34And third, hosting creates community in the most unexpected ways.

0:39We've supported families from all over as they've celebrated in our space, everything from birthday parties to just random family get-togethers.

0:47If you've been thinking about hosting on Airbnb, this is your sign to give it a try.

Scenes (7)

0:00Woman in green room

A medium shot of a young Black woman standing, facing the camera directly, and gesturing with her hands. She is positioned slightly to the right of the frame's center. The background features a vibrant olive green wall, with two gold abstract wall decor pieces on the left and a floor lamp with a white cylindrical shade and gold base on the right. A light brown curtain is visible behind the lamp, and a beige armchair with a striped cushion (brown, beige, white) is partially visible behind her right shoulder. The lighting is bright and even, likely from softbox lighting, casting minimal shadows. The dominant colors are olive green, gold, brown, and the black and white of her dress. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Text overlays are visible: 'Three things I wish I knew' in a white cursive font at the top, and 'BEFOR|' in bold white at the top center, which is truncated.

0:03Woman in bathroom

A medium shot of the same young Black woman standing in a modern bathroom, facing the camera. She is positioned slightly off-center to the left. The background is dominated by a clear glass shower enclosure with brass hardware, revealing a beige vertically-striped textured tile wall inside and a square rain showerhead. A white door frame is partially visible to the left. To the right, inside the shower, a recessed niche holds three dark bottles, possibly toiletries. The overall color palette is warm neutrals (beige, white, brass) with the contrasting black and white of her dress. The lighting is bright and well-distributed, giving a clean and polished feel to the space. She speaks directly to the camera, using expressive hand gestures to articulate her message. Text overlays: 'first hosting isn't about having the most luxurious place' (white, bottom left), 'it's about creating a feeling' (white, bottom left), and 'YOUR STORY & BACKGROUND HELPS GUESTS FEEL CONNECTED' (white, top center) which evolves from 'YOUR STORY |'.

0:15Woman in pink bedroom, sitting

A medium shot of the young Black woman sitting on a bed in a vibrant pink bedroom, facing the camera. She is seated on the right side of the frame. The background features a solid pink wall with a plush gold tufted headboard behind her. The bed is adorned with a teal bedspread and several brightly colored throw pillows, including yellow, teal, and a multi-striped pillow with pink, orange, yellow, and blue. To her left, a white lamp with a square shade sits on a teal nightstand. Above the headboard, two framed art prints depicting vintage-style posters (one with 'MONTE-CARLO,' the other 'MOULIN ROUGE') are visible. The lighting is bright and warm, illuminating the colorful room. She speaks directly, gesturing with her hands. The dominant colors are pink, teal, yellow, and the black and white of her dress. Text overlays appear at the bottom left: 'second', which changes to 'although my husband and I have experience with long term rentals', then 'short term rentals were a whole other ball game', and finally 'that we weren't 100% sure we were ready for'.

0:25Woman in pink bedroom, standing

A medium shot of the young Black woman standing in the same vibrant pink bedroom, now positioned behind a teal dresser on the left side of the frame. She faces the camera directly. The background remains the solid pink wall, with a large, ornate white distressed mirror hanging above the dresser. Two framed art prints are visible on the right side of the wall. On the dresser, there is a small pink fan and a white vase with two pink roses. The bed and headboard from the previous shot are no longer visible. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the cheerful pink and teal color scheme. She speaks directly, using hand gestures to emphasize her points. Text overlays appear at the bottom left, evolving from 'AIRBNB HAS': 'but Airbnb has tools like smart pricing', then 'guest identity verification', and finally 'and the Resource Center that grew our confidence as beginner hosts'.

0:34Woman in kitchen

A medium shot of the young Black woman standing in a modern kitchen, facing the camera. She is positioned centrally, leaning slightly on a white quartz countertop. The background features light green lower cabinets and white subway tile backsplash, with light wooden open shelves above. Various white dishes and bowls are neatly arranged on the shelves. Above her, two brass pendant lights with bell-shaped shades hang from the ceiling. A framed art print with a green peacock feather against a red background is visible on the left wall. On the countertop to her right, a striking orange vase adds a pop of color. The overall color palette is light green, white, wood tones, brass, and the black and white of her dress. The lighting is bright and functional, typical of a well-lit kitchen. She speaks directly to the camera, using open-handed gestures. Text overlays at the bottom: 'and third hosting creates community in the most unexpected ways', which then changes to 'HOSTING BUILDS COMMUN'.

0:38Woman in dining room

A medium shot of the young Black woman sitting at a dining table in a contemporary dining room, facing the camera. She is positioned centrally behind a dark wooden table. The background features a plain white wall with two framed art prints: one a 'TEQUILA SUNRISE' cocktail illustration in vibrant colors, and the other a geometric abstract piece in muted tones. Above the table, a modern black chandelier with multiple exposed light bulbs hangs, providing warm ambient lighting. On the table in front of her, there are two small, frosted faux pine trees and two circular woven placemats in a natural tone. The room has a minimalist yet inviting feel. The dominant colors are white, dark wood, and the black and white of her dress, with pops of color from the artwork and the chandelier lights. She speaks directly to the camera, using expressive hand gestures. Text overlays at the bottom left: 'we've supported families from all over', then 'as they've celebrated in our space', and finally 'everything from birthday parties to just random family get togethers'.

0:46Woman in living room

A medium shot of the young Black woman sitting comfortably on a light-colored couch in a modern living room, facing the camera. She is positioned slightly to the left of the frame. The background features a large, abstract framed art print with yellow, gray, and white shapes. To her right, a tall floor lamp with a white drum shade and a gold base provides soft, warm lighting. Beyond the lamp, a large window with white blinds is visible, allowing natural light into the room. A vibrant orange patterned throw pillow is partially visible to her left on the couch. The overall color palette is light and airy, with neutrals (white, beige, gray) accented by yellow and orange. She speaks directly to the camera, using gentle hand gestures. Text overlays at the bottom center: 'if you've been thinking about hosting on Airbnb', which then changes to 'this is your sign to give it a try'.
