An independent playbook for direct bookings

Direct Booking Academy is an independent publication. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official resource for Lodgify or Hospitable.

The publication is operated by the BNB Boost Chief of Staff as managing editor. The domain is owned by Steve Young. This page does not add a biography, a property count, or a credential for either role.

Pen names

Guides are bylined to pen names that match a beat: direct booking strategy, Lodgify, Hospitable, website and photography, revenue and marketing, and software reviews. A pen-name page describes that beat only. It does not claim years of hosting, a certification, or ownership of a rental.

The byline states that the work is produced with AI assistance and human editorial review. The ten Lodgify and Hospitable guides are published. A page that is still a placeholder says so on the page.
