Link bait and widget bait strategies may still be useful, though Google's spam team is aware of them as well, so they have to be done with caution.

The possibility of sabotaging these relationships is a risk I am not willing to gamble.

Either appreciation and cashflow has its variables and as soon as one neglects the fact, its a gamble.

If I were to gamble I'd play black-jack, at least I can count cards!

The question is take a bit of a gamble and learn the business through joining the Brokerage Team?

Usually we'll provide water and sometimes some pastries but I let the participants know they're welcome to bring refreshments if they'd like (one lady brought some delicious Spam Musabi ^_^).  

Oh my goodness,  I went ahead and contacted a few people on the Airbnb platform and one of them reported me to spam.....Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

But to me, this just feels like speculation and gambling.

I don't mind an educated gamble on condition, adds a bit more excitement to it.

We could have hired someone else, but for one week we did not want to take that gamble on an unknown.
