At my company, our videos and TV shows generate between 1-3 million views a month, this filters down to hundreds of leads every month. 

He would hang at the winery and engage for those coming in for tastings I had many a half sober conversation with him about his being the first late night TV guy.. pretty interesting dude. 

for example $500 off first months rent, lower security deposit, free flat screen tv?

All too often I hear new clients having bad experiences with companies backed by superstars on TV or social media gurus.

His TV and cats are gone but it appears the rest of the stuff is still there.

Like TV series, season 2.I was gonna contact @Karma Senge but I realized he has been inactive on BP for 10 months. 

Happened too many times for first 3-4 years.There is no risk of loosing the "deposit" either and it's just a bit of skin in the game even tho the skin is always yours to keep heheCovered all angles mate and made this as fool proof as possible but still enough to make folks "jump" through hoops to see who is legit and who isn't.As Chris mentioned, 90% of investors we don't end up working with and even when many commit to the deposit, I refund many times as I don't feel a good fit.Even with such stringent criteria, we still get mud thrown on us here on BP as some folks slip through the cracks.I could only imagine if we took on everyone and just focused on pushing sales.I can sell a TV to a blind man and ice to an eskimo.

After a guest stole out TV's and filed a claim on their credit card payment - and VRBO did NOTHING to assist us, we checked out what Airbnb would have done. 

I'm also married, trying to protect three teenagers from their own stupidity, run a business with seven employees, etc.I consider myself a success story, but I have C-class rentals in a small market nobody knows/cares about, and I don't have the infectious personality that makes for good TV.

I remember the old military recruitment commercials that ran on TV.
