How to create an Airbnb listing and list your home or apartment on the platform – Business Insider – Business Insider

Creating an Airbnb listing can take a while to accomplish since you need to provide a lot of information.

However, in general the process can be broken down into three main steps: provide your basic listing information, add photos and any other additional information about your listing, and establish your rates and rules.

Here's an in-depth overview of how to set up an Airbnb listing.

1. Go to the Airbnb listing creation page on your Mac or PC.

2. Fill out your basic listing information, like what kind of listing you want to create (house or apartment, for example), whether the guests would have the place to themselves or if they'd be sharing the space with you, and if the property is primarily for guests or if you keep your stuff there. Click "Next" when done.
