With vacation rentals, you have to have people who actually rent stuff and that's the part of the chicken/egg problem I haven't solved yet. While I was able to bootstrap the site, the traffic to it was non-existent thus I felt guilty if I charged people to list. The premise was that they would list for free first, their listings would attract traffic, then I would charge people to list. Meanwhile people are booking and more are listing - that was the idea.
- webmaven 8y agoThe simple way out of that conundrum is to make it free to list (perhaps with an option to upgrade to a "premium" listing for a recurring fee), and charge for the actual bookings made through your site (you'd need to experiment to figure out whether flat fees or a percentage worked better for you).
