Some people believe craigslist and vacation rental classified sites like this one are the only way to advertise your vacation rental. This isn't true at all. Of course more advertising always helps and this site will generate you leads but it will not provide you with as many leads as you would like. The first thing you have to do is create your own personal site. This doesn't have to be very fancy but simply 
something that you can point customers easily to for more information. You can even use a post-let template and get it done in less then an hour or so. Below are some other ways to advertise that you may not have ever thought of.
