[Coworking] Re: Any Feedback from People Who Use Nexudus Coworking Software?

[ebarno]

Hi all, 

Has anyone worked with a contract web developer who has experience 
customizing your Nexudus website that you would recommend? I'm looking for 
some sort-term help, doesn't need to be onsite but I'm located in Boston, 
MA. 

Thanks for any recommendations! 
Liz

[Coworking] Re: Reciprocity agreements among independent coworking spaces

[Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking]

Mary,

Yes we have an agreement with other coworking spaces in Denver with our 
local alliance called Denver Coworks, DenverCoworks.org. We also 
participate in the Global Coworking Visa which gets us a visitor once a 
month or so from people around the US and sometimes the world. 

I recommend you contact the local spaces, get to know each other, and work 
together. An exchange of members is an easy way to start bringing spaces 
together. We limit to members 2 days per month.

[Coworking] phonebooths

[Nathan Daum]

We have 15 phone booths, 7 meeting rooms. 150-200 on site users. There are 
times (maybe once a week) when every "in use" indicator light is on, but they 
go out after 10 minutes of inactivity and I have never looked through the glass 
doors to see if it was really the case. Gotta have ample meeting/focus spaces! 
We get high marks on this from our members and I know it is a frustration some 
of them had at other places. There are definitely times the conference rooms 
get oversubscribed. Always liking for ways to mitigate the demand for those. 
They're on an online booking system with allowance/credits depending on 
membership level and a member price (discounted) for any use thereafter. The 
phone booths are first come first served. We don't have a reservation system 
for those.

Re: [Coworking] Anybody have a business coworking blog with high traffic and a dedicated audience?

[Tony Bacigalupo]

I always advocate for being awesome in real life first.

Imagine if you took the resources it takes to make social media content,
where everyone is always shouting louder and louder to get attention, and
instead directed that to hosting an amazing fun creative dinner party in
the space.

People have an incredibly fun time, they make friends, they tell everyone
they know about the experience they had, and maybe some of them even post
about it on social media.

Then the attention comes to you.

If you're aching to create content online, I wonder how you can do so in a
way that's authentic and passionate and something that people can connect
emotionally with.

I'm a big fan of storytelling. I bet if you interviewed members, in text or
audio or even video form (or all three!), and had them tell real stories of
experiences they had and things they've learned, that would be a worthwhile
endeavor even if it doesn't directly convert to sales right away.

Tony

[Coworking] Anybody have a business coworking blog with high traffic and a dedicated audience?

[Simon Anez]

I'm curious if anybody here runs a successful blog that's on their 
coworking space's main website?
For years we hired some SEO company to do our blog, this was obviously a 
mistake
I've been rethinking over our blogging strategy and would like to hear your 
thoughts and experiences

Content should be locally targeted, with topics that would interest our 
local target audience
It should be helpful and if possible entertaining, i'm thinking guides on 
the different topics of building businesses/freelancers
I'm not big on blogging reports about past events but that's just me

Some if not most coworking spaces don't even have blogs or are not really 
updated, so i'm curious to discuss this topic further with anyone.

[Coworking] Reciprocity agreements among independent coworking spaces

[Mary Jo Shircliffe]

Hi, I am new to the group.  Own/operate a coworking space in a suburban 
office park in Louisville Kentucky - (c)space-ky.org - and struggling to 
get members.  Identified location as a barrier, as well as the perception 
of our brand as only for nonprofits. Your posts/resources have been very 
helpful.  Thank you.
 
Question - Most of our members travel and need places to work throughout 
the city and state.  Any one develop reciprocal agreements with coworking 
spaces independent of their own as a way to provide a network of spaces for 
their members?
 
Thank you!
 

Mary Jo

[Coworking] Re: Best advice to keep/get coworking space to full capcity

[Jeannine van der Linden]

Justin, that your open rate for mass mail merges was too low, would be a 
reccommendation in some places.  :-)  Look for those,  

It is never fun when things don't work out, but in the long run you know 
are better off somewhere else.  Thanks for coming back and keep us posted!

Best,

Jeannine
