Fuel for your Book Direct engine
As a STR business owner every decision you make is riddled with self doubt
And we can't blame you..
- You feel like you don’t own your business.
- You’re paralyzed by choices.
- Your options are limited.
- You're frustrated that you can't fix your business
We can fix this! My mission is to help 1 million hosts cut down on their over reliance on Airbnb and the OTAs. Let’s start our journey together with the right tools.
More Direct Bookings More Control
In an ever-competitive marketplace, Best Selling Author Mark Simpson helps hospitality hosts thrive.
He gives them the tools, tactics, training; and most importantly – the confidence to skyrocket their direct bookings and draw back from the over-reliance on online travel agents.
What makes Mark a stand-out professional in the industry is that he’s worked in hospitality (across various roles) for decades, and understands the everyday challenges of hosts. In fact, he founded Boostly off the back of sheer frustration – when he couldn’t find support on a ‘local level’ for hospitality business owners.
Six years on, The Boostly Website Design Agency has become one of the market leaders. Under the same brand, the Boostly Academy is one of the most extensive training programmes for hosts and property managers, worldwide – and the only accredited course in the industry.
After successfully coaching over 1000 hospitality businesses to date, Mark’s current mission is to help 1 million hosts increase their direct bookings so they are no longer shackled by controlling OTAs.

The Book Direct Workbook
Mark Simpson
Back in February 2022, the Book Direct Playbook hit the shelves. Within days/weeks, it was a number-one bestseller, and it has remained in the top 20% of book sales worldwide ever since.

The Playbook is full of tips, tasks and activities. It is a practical guide. This workbook is the companion to the Playbook so that as you work through all the lessons, you can document them in one space.
No loose scraps of paper or errant files will be spread around your desktop. It all happens right here. Where the Playbook is your coach, this Workbook is your training ground. This is where you do the work. It’s time to get stuck in.
