The following article is about how one guy (and I'm sure there are many others) is using AirBnB to run a business...
If you don't know about it, AirBnB is a website where you can rent out rooms in your house or apartment, or rent out your whole house or apartment if you want to. These are usually short-term rentals, to visitors from out of town - which is what makes them different from usual rentals. Because they're short term, you can also charge a lot more per night to rent it out than you can with standard long-term rentals...
If you need extra cash - and you have a spare room - AirBnB is one way you can turn that spare room into cash!
What this guy does is different. He actually buys a place specifically to rent on AirBnB...
One way of looking at it is it is like running a very small, unregistered "hotel"...
Anyway, it's a fascinating article about another way to make money...
