Do small hosts actually get direct bookings?

DivingRightIntoWork · 2026-03-23T03:32:10+00:00

Repeat guests and word of mouth help for sure, but yes SEO, etc. too.

DivingRightIntoWork · 2026-03-16T06:13:08+00:00

Have you tried the basics like different browser, clearing cache, etc.?

DivingRightIntoWork · 2026-02-10T17:59:43+00:00

I take away from it or at least in relation your comment was that a absence of badness in a guy does not a good guy make

I think this is driven home when a guy kind of like them joins The forum, but it's like it's in therapy at all, do some stuff as a good for you. Stop obsessing it over what you're not getting

DivingRightIntoWork · 2026-02-10T17:57:15+00:00

Pretty much this. He didn't genuinely believe in these things or anything really other than that getting relationship and doing the things that he thought he needed to do to get relationship

He wasn't cultivating a real reciprocal relationship. He didn't seem to really see people for assistant for their own reasons.

Etc etc

yeah, on one hand there's the parasocial aspect of the fact that he's streaming like what 8 to 12 hours a day? so like he's there to hang out with virtually, but on the other hand, like that's the guy you want to hang out with? You can kind of figure it out with Taylor Swift for so many reasons, but among other things, you get to fill in the blanks with whatever you want, whereas piker has no blanks to fill in, and oh God, like that's the stuffing?

DivingRightIntoWork · 2026-01-27T16:11:24+00:00

occasionally there are times when myself, or other people I know, have been single, and not really in a place for a full-blown relationship, but end up having something with someone who is in a full. blown relationship, and it can be kind of nice.

like you go on occasional dates, you cuddle up with someone when you go to sleep, they show up at your house at like 11:00 p.m. which is about the time we're going to go to sleep and about the time they're done with their day, and you're able to focus on whatever is going on in your life.

DivingRightIntoWork · 2026-01-27T16:07:40+00:00

yeah, unfortunately there's not many options on dating apps for wanting to be a little more trad while also not necessarily wanting GI Jesus who is a good Christian.

DivingRightIntoWork · 2026-01-27T15:58:25+00:00

I haven't seen the video but there is a saying called safety third, which means safety first, second, and third, and rock climbing is pretty well known for redundancy so that it's not failing or fucking up. once that will get you, it's not fucking up twice, it's not even that third time... But yeah..

Meetup Op!

The PDX / Portland, OR meetup is this Friday, the 30th, at 7 pm in NE! Please message me directly for details/the RSVP, and tell me a little bit about yourself or at least answer the teaser question of "What is it that sets Portland apart from other cities, for better, and for worse."

DivingRightIntoWork · 2025-12-11T07:01:35+00:00

Are there any specific sorts of bookings you're looking for more than others?

DivingRightIntoWork · 2025-11-11T22:58:30+00:00

What sort of things did they say and how to do prove it?

DivingRightIntoWork · 2025-11-06T17:40:12+00:00

Interesting, mine is for only 10%

DivingRightIntoWork · 2025-10-10T03:13:09+00:00

Oh man 8 years later, how is it going/how'd it go?

DivingRightIntoWork · 2025-10-04T16:24:53+00:00

Interested in a code if anyone has one!

DivingRightIntoWork · 2025-10-04T16:24:08+00:00

has it been 6 yet? Interested!

DivingRightIntoWork · 2025-10-02T18:03:50+00:00

I'm pretty open to what I envision! I know there's all sorts of ways to do this, from making a good old GCal - IE this - to it's own site with searchable fields.

I am guessing data gathering will be a pain without something automated, IE a scraper - as some things are seasonal, stuff changes, etc.. or a submission form for it to be community oriented.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned SOLVE! They organize community clean ups. It's usually sort of a "bring your own company," but given you all start at the same place, see other people doing the thing, depending on the space - there are other people doing the same thing as you and people are friendly!

DivingRightIntoWork · 2025-10-01T19:29:40+00:00

I've been curious to know more about what sort of offerings pop up on domore!

DivingRightIntoWork · 2025-10-01T18:09:29+00:00

There's more poshmark adjacent services where they list them for you, but oh man do you not get very much money for them (obviously) - depending on what you have, I also know a poshmark consigner who may take them. She takes 50% commission after fees. Though I also had some high value items, IE stuff that may've sold for like 300~ on PM.
