10 Best Money Through Homestay
Men and Women who would like to apply their talents and skills in entertaining and accommodating guests seek a business at home. There are many options and home-based business opportunities available and one of them is homestay. This is opening your house to paying guests.
What is a homestay?
According to Cheryl Verstraete, an experienced hostess, and author of Homestay 101 for Hosts, it’s a home away from home. It is different from a hotel, a motel, or a bed and breakfast at home. The main purpose of the house is a residence and the secondary purpose is to open your house and offer a room for paying guests.
Anyone could be a host at home, but most of the time, women get involved in this type of home business because of the following reasons:
Loves cooking and cooking and wants to show their talents and skills to guests; spend more time at home; wants to focus more energy at home and on the family; seeks opportunity to meet people from different lifestyles and other countries; earn additional income for the family, and open to learning other cultures. The best way to know if you are in this home company is to evaluate yourself and your lifestyle.
Here are 10 questions you may ask yourself to know if you are into the home hosting business:
- Do you like meeting new people from different cultures and countries?
- Do you have spare rooms/s to accommodate your guests?
- Do you like cooking and/or cooking for non-family members?
- Can you stay calm when unexpected events and situations arise?
- Are you, comfortable keeping strangers, in your home for a short or long time?
- Do your home and community have a safe and healthy environment?
- Are your family members open to the idea of living with guests under one roof?
- Are you open to the beliefs, customs, and cultures of your guests?
- Are you organized and systematic?
- Are you and your family open to communicating and meeting the needs of your guests?
The hosting business is not for everyone. This kind of home-based business is challenging but rewarding and rewarding. If you answered yes to all of the above questions, the homestay hosting business is for you.
If hosting isn’t for you, you may need to look more at what you’d like to do. The home-based business for women has increased 10 times in recent years and one of the biggest increases that have been seen is for women who are starting their own internet business.
