Hey Prisc! Are you saying that what you offer is more of a "heads down and focus" type workspace?
Because there are LOTS of people who (think they) want that. But it sounds like you're trying to figure out how to reach those people, using the usual online channels, and that's not working so great. So how about we shake it up... ... who can you have a casual conversation with who MIGHT have a friend of a friend who is looking for a desk? (Hint: this could be a lot of people) ... where can you to go meet new people who might fit the above description? ... are there Meetup groups in your area you can attend? Not just business Meetups, but anything you have a real interest in? ... are you a "regular" at a local cafe / bagel shop / restaurant where you can chat up the barista / manager / etc and happen to mention to them that you have some workspace available? ... what other local community groups are you a part of or could you become a part of where there are humans you wouldn't mind getting to know a little better? If you're able to: 1. Focus on real humans in real life 2. Build honest authentic relationships 3. Listen and be interested in other people ... then good things tend to happen. Dig? PS - Where in the world are you?
