Hi all. Yes, our site is down for a few days while we upgrade and update a few things. I'll let you know when it's back up.
I agree with Jen and Alex, but I'll add this... We don't host many Meetups, but we've been doing classes and workshops for four years - including 2.5 years before we had a coworking space - and it has absolutely gotten harder to a) sell tickets and b) get people to show up. There could be any number of reasons for this trend (I have a lot of theories), but one that may be universal has to do with how busy we've all become, and how much distraction and noise there is in the world. We joke that, for our class/workshop business, our biggest competitor is Netflix. Keep your head high, and, yes, be patient. But also be mindful of the ROI when hosting events. We're about to seriously downshift our event business, and we're working on a blog post that details why. We're also working on a separate post that makes some suggestions for coworking space owners/operators who may be thinking of incorporate classes and workshops. We've got some data and insight to share that I imagine might be helpful to some. Keep us posted. Curious to hear what works (and doesn't) for everyone! -Matt -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
