Membership gives you access to a continuously growing collection of authoritative, absolutely unbiased information that will help you with every aspect of vacation-rental ownership: furnishing your property, establishing rental policies and procedures, creating your online listings, choosing the best advertising sites, communicating with your guests, and managing the booking process from start to finish. 

Among other things, a FullyBookedRentals membership includes:

  • Member Profiles. Everyone who visits the site can view Member Profiles, but you have to be a FullyBookedRentals member in order to create and edit a profile. Your profile can be brief, like a business card: name, contact information, and a clickable link to your VR website or property listing. Or it can go into a bit more detail, describing what makes your property or business special and conveying a sense of who you are. We have always maintained that vacation rentals are personal. It is our hope that the FullyBookedRentals community will be personal as well. And what better place to start than with Member Profiles. 
  • VR Resources Guide. This is a regularly updated and highly selective guide to the best products and services for vacation-rental owners. And the best places to advertise your property—including our recommendations for regional and special-interest sites that can help you reduce your dependence on HomeAway and VRBO. 
  • News Archive. Who has time to monitor all the forums, blogs, podcasts, and print publications? Who has time to keep an eye on HomeAway, the National Association of Realtors, the Vacation Rental Managers Association, and all the latest developments in the vacation-rental field? We do! We "filter the firehose," bring you what's important, and weigh in on what it all means. 
  • How-To Articles. Our how-to articles are the most thorough you'll find anywhere, with step-by-step instructions, well-chosen examples, and recommended resources that you'd spend hours tracking down on your own. 
  • Handy Forms & Checklists. Whether you're brand new to vacation rentals or have several years of experience, you're sure to find something here that will make your life easier—and help you avoid embarrassing mistakes. Instead of starting from scratch, you can take our sample rental agreement, confirmation form, booking checklist, and other documents and use them as a starting point for the ones you'll use to run your vacation-rental business. 
  • Special Offers. This is a very selective list of money-saving offers on top-quality products and services that can benefit you as a vacation-rental owner. 
  • Ask the Experts. If there's some product you're looking for, or some problem you're facing that we haven't addressed elsewhere on the site, you can post a question here and we'll get back to you. 
  • Member Discount. As a FullyBookedRentals member, you'll automatically receive a 15% discount on all of the products in our online store—downloadable articles, CDs, and consulting services. 

What Makes FullyBookedRentals Special?

One of the things that make us unique is that we are beholden to no one. We don't accept advertising. We don't receive commissions or fees from any company whose product or service we recommend. We don't do link exchanges. So, as with Consumer Reports, you can trust us to not only tell you the truth—but to tell you things that others who are not independent can't or won't. 

There is also the "Alfred and Emily touch." That phrase was coined by an editor some years ago. She was referring to our in-depth research, our clarity, and our conversational, even entertaining, writing style. Reviewers have said that our books on technical subjects like computers and the Internet "read like novels." That is very much what we intended when we wrote them. There are no boring subjects, just boring writers. 

To put it another way, you may find articles on the same topics elsewhere, but they won't be nearly as good, because they won't have the "Alfred and Emily touch." 

For your convenience, links to new articles and other new items appear front-and-center on the Member Home Page each time you log in. You can also set up an RSS feed to be automatically notified when new articles are added to the site.

And our site is searchable, making it easy to find what you need. If you don't find what you're looking for, simply "Ask the Experts" and we'll address the issue and get back to you. 

All things considered—the expert information, the discounts, the low subscription fee with the upside potential of additional bookings, and, of course, the 30-day money-back guarantee—you really can't lose.
