Mount

HUGE NEWS INCOMING!! It's no secret I've spent my life building Mount. After all, I started this journey when I was 12 and I'm now 26. The Mount team and I have faced countless sleepless nights and doubters along the way. But every "no" fueled our drive to succeed. Up until today, Mount only connected hosts with local experiences, leaving out a significant part of our industry including our Traveler community AKA our CONTENT ARMY of 170K+. That changes now! Introducing our SUMMER Release video, unveiling MountDirect and MountConnect – two revolutionary ways to redefine travel experiences. MountDirect: Connects our 170K+ Traveler Content Army with Hosts and Local Businesses to create impactful UGC to drive direct bookings. Oh and our community of 170K gets access to book directly with you! MountConnect: For our partners: you can integrate our curated local experiences into your existing products like guidebooks, messaging systems, and direct booking websites. When I started this mission in the Short Term Rental Industry, I was an outsider, knowing no one. Yet, the community welcomed me with open arms, encouraged me to innovate, and supported my vision. We learned travelers want more than a place to stay; they crave authentic, hyper-local experiences. Despite setbacks, we grew stronger and more determined. Mount now partners with over 200,000 local businesses, enabling hosts to offer unique experiences for FREE using our software! Check out our summer release video linked below and see how we’re transforming travel. Join us in redefining how we wander wisely and experience destinations like true locals. Interested in getting access to MountDirect? Put a 🏔 in the comments. To get access to MountConnect, DM or email me. Shoutout to Futurestay for being the First Early Adopter of MountConnect. Thanks S. Philip Kennard for believing in me! A huge thanks to Kenneth Freyer from Mundaen Collective and Casey Evans who shot and produced this amazing video. #shorttermrental #airbnb #travel #growthmarketing

The STR Collab held an eye-opening session yesterday where we brought in Journey More and Ryan Thompson to share their stories of creating content for STR Hosts and PMs. We explored the differences between working with influencers and content creators, discussing strategies to use content for boosting your social channels and driving direct bookings. We also addressed a common concern: "What if my property is 'normal' and not Instagrammable? How can I work with content creators?" If you missed the webinar and want answers to these questions, a link to the recording is below. If you are now having FOMO and want to start working with Creators, grow your social channels and hit 100K followers, I might just have an answer for you that involves the Mount Content Army. Stay tuned for our HUGE NEWS coming June 24th!! #growthmarketing #webinar #shorttermrental #airbnb

My Content Army is growing. The Content Army was born out of my Viral TikTok post. Essentially, I was fed up with traditional influencer marketing, brands pushing products on influencers that didn't even use the product, and having them make inorganic content. I had the idea of starting a Content Army, posted about it and I got a few thousand applicants wanting in. These were content creators, aspiring content creators, and all travelers who had one common goal - live, travel, and work all at the same time. I launched Cohort 1. It is a total of 8 content creators, Mount Stewards, who are leading their own charge in the travel space each with a travel niche. Our combined reach with cohort 1 - close to 500k followers and growing daily. As a Mount Steward the request is simple, represent authentic, responsible and sustainable travel in your own content and journey. Share it with the world, sometimes in your Mount Merch. Don't inorganically talk about Mount or push our product but instead embody this Mount Traveler so that when others see you traveling or your kind of travel they think "humm that must be a Mount Traveler" I am changing up the game and my Content Army is step number 1. Cohort two is launching next - do you want in? Stay tuned for more updates.... #startupjourney #socialmedia #tiktokmarketing
