What It's About

A listener seeks feedback on an idea to sell art in Airbnbs.

Notes from Chris

Episode 1245
Today’s listener has a really interesting idea that she has thought through quite a bit and she’s looking for feedback. Short version is: “Does my idea to sell art in Airbnbs make sense?”

I’ll let her describe the idea in more detail, and then I’ll go point-by-point in terms of what I think.

So many of our listeners have their thinking hats on lately, and I love it. Keep the ideas coming!

"Hi, Chris. This is Melissa from Portland, Oregon. I love the show and have been in search of the Side hustle since listening for the first time about a year ago. I own an Airbnb in Portland, which has thriving artists in the community, as well as a growing number of Airbnbs. I feel that artists, makers and property owners would benefit from placing local art and handmade items in Airbnbs, which would then be available for guest purchase and take home them. The benefits would be threefold. The property owner could have a rotating gallery of amazing arts.

The artists would show their work to a wider audience and the property owner and I would split the commission for each item sold. I've never done anything like this before, so I'm not really sure how payments and commissions would work. But the response from artists have contacted has been very positive so far. Any help or feedback to help get this off the ground is appreciated. Thank you so much."
