Should I be following people on Houfy?

No one is going to think you're a stalker! Just search for the member's profile in the Houfy search bar. Not only should you be following others, I also recommend inviting your guests to follow you on Houfy too. First, let's get familiar with some glossary terms you'll encounter in Houfy Social.

Houfeed = the page you see as soon as you log into Houfy. Your houfeed is a continuous stream of posts/stories published by you, and your followers/friends

All Posts = this feed shows you all posts/stories currently being posted by all members

Post = content that is more conversation-like (Ex: asking for recommendations/advice)

Story = content that is houledge (Ex: sharing local knowledge or insider tips, that will help travelers with planning a visit to your area)

Follower = a member who sees your posts/stories in their houfeed. Any member can follow any other member

Following = members you follow to see their posts/stories in your houfeed

Friend = a member who is following you, and you are following the member back

But who should I start following?

If you don't already know members who you'd specifically like to follow, go to the All Posts feed. You'll see all the posts/stories currently being published by all Houfy members. When you see a story that interests you, just start following the author. It's a good idea to follow members with properties near your area, as you may want to save some of their stories to your own guidebooks.

Invite your guests to begin following you.

The more followers you have, the more people who will read your posts/stories and share them with their friends and family. I invite all guests to follow me on Houfy and read my guidebooks. I do this immediately after they book, no matter which platform they used to make the reservation. And long after their stay has ended, they will continue to receive my stories in their houfeed. This is a great way to keep them thinking about a return visit to my area.

Start having conversations.

Begin to comment and ask questions on other members' Stories. Share their Stories. In turn, this will encourage other members and travelers to do the same. Whenever I notice I have a new follower, I always follow the person back (including my own guests) to see what kinds of topics they may be writing about. 

If you'd like to start inviting guests to follow you but don't know what to write, feel free to use the template I send right after someone books my property.
