Domian and hosting options are covered in the course. If you would like to ask other owners that have taken the course any quest...

More information
Hello everyone, Thanks for talking about Vacation Soup. I just wanted to say that the Wordpress websites and the plugin are free. The plugin has a content creator built in and when you create blog posts it automatically syndicates your posts to all of your social media accounts. There is no obligati...

This isn't actually Google plus. The section of the screenshot on the left is powered by Google local / places (something that 'traditional' VR owners can't use as you need to live on site or have a manned reception). The section on the right, with the book now button, is powered by Google's knowled...

Homeaway Adsense Makes No Sense Other Than Nonsense
I was looking at Homeaway’s website the other day when I happened to notice something very strange. This 3 minute video shows what I saw far better than I can describe. All I have to say is that this is costing you bookings. Simple as that. https://vimeo.com/143363971 (sorry, I don't know how to emb...

That example is more complicated than I had in mind. I was just thinking of a little pan and or zoom to turn the images into video. You can add any transition you like between photos. I'm also guessing that you could host video with the likes of Vimeo and that may speed loading. (once again I've nev...

Kev, Thanks, I'll have a look. Regarding an opening video You could always experiment with an opening video using your existing photos and by using a Ken Burns effect. There are some plugins that do this or you can do this in Imovie if you are on a mac (not sure about Windows). Just an idea, it's no...

I've tested my own sites for speed and they are not super fast either No, in fact they are quite a bit slower than mine. But let's see if we can make them faster, I'm sure we can. Technically it's easy but the hard part is making quality video in the first place. I hope that the course will help wi...

Wow, Kev you really are bored aren't you. I don't have video at the moment but I decided that I would add some so started researching the subject and thought that I would share what I found in order to help inspire others. I'm no expert in video, that's why I have asked experts in holiday video crea...
