josuegio··on Show HN: GuruHotel – The Ecommerce Platform for Hotels
Hello Hacker Community!

I hope you and your families are healthy and safe in these hard times. ️

Today I want you to remember that last time you found an excellent hotel for a fantastic weekend with your family or friends, and you discovered that its website was a nightmare. The booking process, an endless list of steps. The checkout, a bit risky. So you better move to an online travel agency to complete your reservation more safely.

As thousands of independent hotels struggle to survive, titans like Booking.com and Expedia are bleeding out their profits with 20-40% in commissions . To stay alive, hotels have few options. They can offer their rooms on Online Travel Agencies, giving away their independence and losing contact with their customers.

Or they can create their websites and start a painful way, looking for agencies, designers, developers, marketers, and launching their marketing campaigns using Google or Facebook Ads.

We are launching rockets to space thanks to Elon , but we cannot help SMBs compete with ecommerce titans. Is this fair for independent hotels?

We believe it’s not. And fortunately, things have changed. Today we launch GuruHotel, the ultimate ecommerce platform for hotels.

https://guruhotel.com/

We developed a user-based platform that hoteliers can launch in a couple of minutes, following a seamless onboarding process. Once the ecommerce is complete, users can activate their favorite payment methods, connect their real-time inventory, and receive bookings from +130 countries. ️

With this all-in-one platform, we want to empower independent hotels and increase their direct bookings.

We’re so excited about our mission, and we believe you could feel the same and help us reach more independent hotels around the world, spreading the voice about our product.

The next time you book a room, remember that booking directly saves jobs and Mom-and-pop business. ️

Thank you so much for reading this!

josuegio··on Show HN: Hackers.tv – Tutorial Videos for Beginners
Hey everyone, i was working on this days in www.Hackers.tv the idea is to collect the best Tutorial for Beginners, i am looking for really good tutorials, could you recommend anyone?

I built this because i am trying to learn for myself and many of the tutorials are paid tutorials on Udemy, Lynda and others... and the only way to find the free ones is searching on Youtube. Thanks for your feedback!

josuegio··on Show HN: DailyVC – Daily links shared by VCs and Angel investors
What Is This?

DailyVC born from the idea that information on Twitter flows too fast and is really hard to follow all the links shared by the smartest people in the world. @pmarca , for example, is tweeting between 50 and 200 times a day and is f hard to follow him, so I thought it would be useful for his followers to see all his links in one place.

With DailyVC we can gather the links shared by this curated list of VCs. By the way, if you have more ideas/suggestions about some verticals or specific lists we could create with this purpose, tweet me to @josuegio.

josuegio··on How to sell flight tickets online?
Maybe you could use the:

Skyscanner API: http://business.skyscanner.net/portal/en-GB/AffiliateNetwork

The companies where you could connect direct it is Amadeus or Sabre the GDS but it is really hard to close and agreement with them, the best in a API where you can send the user to the website of the airline like Skyscanner.

Best,

josuegio··on Ask HN: How to validate an idea? What to include in the email?
Is really hard to sell something to the hotels, in our own experience: https://medium.com/startup-lesson-learned/our-real-love-are-...

But if is something not so hard to manage, i think that you could find some Wordpress Themes for Hotels and to talk with the developers of each one and works with them in the integration using WP.

Another strategy is connecting directly in Linkedin with: Ecommercer or Revenue Managers.

Best!
