I've already read your post Alex, twice. It's been a great resource for me. The problem is, i don't really know how to start that "community"... and i'm affraid that if i start making a hype over this that my "idea" would get stollen by someone with much more money than i do and can swing a cowork space in a flash!!
I do understand your point of view but, how do i get to the people, how do i do that market research? I've been puzzling my mind over that for quite a few weeks by now (first time i read your post was about 2 months ago). Surfers and nomads would be a part of the "community", i'd like to be able to serve the locals also, people with flexible workplaces, freelancers, or even people from here (Portugal) that would like to be a couple of months in the beach but still be able to do some work. A big place is scary for me. I'd probabily be better off with a 100m² (+/-1000sqf) for start (i think smaller than this is very tight, no?) with a small rent to minimize the risks. So, how do you build a community? I don't really freelance (unfortunatelly), it's not easy to find other people to work with, and i have a 9-5 job (more like 9 to 19 ) that consumes my time. Is social network a possibility? Facebook, a fb group? what would i be marketing? an hipotetical space or just a community without mention or ties to any commercial space that i might be considering? Thanks for your reply Alex, love your blog and thank you for your help!
