It is always a real pleasure to speak to another podcaster and in this episode my guest is the host of the Holiday Let Success podcast – Elaine Watt. Does that sound familiar?

Well yes, Elaine also interviews vacation rental experts, owners and rental guests. She is also a vacation rental owner and passionate about her region, sharing this in her new podcast Live, Love, Worcestershire.

Go on – try and say that. If you are having a problem check out this video:

So, Elaine and I had a great discussion about her marketing strategies, the listing sites she uses and why her goal is to free herself of the gorillas. We also talked about Facebook as this is her platform of choice, and how she is using it to grow a loyal audience.
