It is a journey in five parts; The first part is already live. It starts with 
figuring out what GDPR is about, and deciding to do something about it.

The next part is an interview looking into what GDPR covers and what that has 
to do with coworking.
Next up is a Q so coworking spaces and coworkers can ask specifically about 
use cases, their data, how GDPR will or could affect them (that's you!)
After that is a free webinar which will be informed by the Q, focused on GDPR 
and coworking
Finally there will be a wrapup, with summaries (and handouts!) and an 
opportunity to ask more questions and get real answers from experts int he 
field.

Howdy folks,
I'm excited to finally be sharing a new platform for the Coworking Visa!
Key points about the new platform: 1. It has a searchable map! (HOORAY.)


 2. It allows the space manager to submit, maintain, and delete their listing 
directly.


 3. Listings automatically expire after one year. (No more outdated listings!)


 4. Space managers are automatically reminded to renew their listing in advance 
of the expiration date.


 5. It offers an optional way for listing owners to support ongoing 
improvements, but will always remain free.


 6. Once ready, it will allow us to retire the outdated Visa wiki page. (HOORAY)

We’re looking for beta testers, so please message me if you’re interested in 
helping us get it rolling.
The full site should be made live very soon. More to share shortly!
Cheers, Tony Bacigalupo

I agree and think that there's actually two ways it could go. Either a race to 
the bottom as you mention (which includes getting worse deals as vendors 
'divide and conquer' different communities to get distribution for even 
cheaper); or a kind of 'solution utility' emerges who's sole job is to make 
sure that deals are win-win-win for the operators, members and the vendors 
themselves.
We're building the latter and, thanks to comments like those from Bernie &

Thanks for the glowing recommendation of our service [http://included.co]

I hope you all don't mind if I dive right in and answer OP's original questions 
based on my experience over the last 3-4 years of helping coworking communities 
share buying-power.
1. No. Perks-based marketing is a zero-sum game. Fighting for exclusivities 
will not only be pointless unless you can scale to 100s of 1000s of members; 
but will waste hundreds of hours of your teams time. Rather understand that 
every single space will need to focus on creating long-term business value to 
differentiate themselves in the future.
2. I believe that if done correctly, 'solutions' will become one of the 
coworking sectors strongest revenue sources. We have designed a thorough 
revenue-share model and technology for our partner coworking communities, but 
they know just as well as we do, that these things take time to build and 
should be seen as a powerful new channel that needs to be cultivated without 
distracting core team members and members away from their actual tasks of 
running their businesses.
3. If the spaces are paying for the solution, are they not then the customers? 
Every single one of our 250+ communities are our partners and not our customers 
in this sense. We'd rather work together to drive up value for members, 
increase revenue for the space and make coworking even more of a no-brainer. 
Some spaces are willing to pay for such services though, and we've instead 
asked them to give breakfasts to their new members with that cash :)
I hope those answers are useful, and I'd be more than happy to elaborate on 
either of them if anyone finds that useful.
Have an amazing day!

People are using their computers (or even special dedicated computers) to
the mining of cryptocurrencies. This means, essentially, they're turning
electricity and computing power into money.
In many cases it's not worth it to do this, because the cost of the
electricity to run a computer at full blast 24x7 for weeks on end doesn't
generate enough revenue to justify the expense.
But if someone sets up some of these stations inside a coworking space,
then you're footing the bill on their behalf.
So if you've noticed a sudden inexplicable spike in power consumption in
your space, investigate to see if there are any crypto miners in your
midst!

I haven't heard stories of this happening yet, but I'd be surprised if it
doesn't happen eventually if it's not happening already.

It would be great if more coworking operators (and businesses in general) 
did a feasibility assessment.
One of the best things we could do as a community is help newcomers do 
robust research before setting of down a path of "I've built it and I hope

Welcome to the party!
It can be a bit tricky to understand the nuances of these two camps as you
define them. We're all still getting a handle on it ourselves!
Here's another way of looking at it:
1. You can organize a coworking community without ever having a business.
Go on Meetup, start a group, meet at a cafe. Hooray, you're coworking, without
any money involved!

2. You can build a workspace without doing coworking.
There's a whole industry of serviced offices that has been around for a while.
Raise some money, get a space, rent bits of that space out to companies for a
margin.
There's lots of established competition in this world, and it's entirely
transactional. No emotional relationship between the space and the customer. If
you want to step into that arena, godspeed!

3. You can build a workspace with coworking in mind.
Coworking exists regardless of office space; physical workspaces just happen to
be a handy delivery vehicle.
Many in the business center industry are scrambling to change their spaces to
catch the trend. Many of them think they can get away with offering open plan
memberships and fancy decor, but that misses the point.
The point here is that lots of people don't need workspace, but they do need
each other.
If you can build something that facilitates real connections between people,
then you can do something really exciting and fun and impactful.
Even WeWork knows this—they try very hard to build community. But they are
always going to be hamstrung by the fact that their approach is one of being a
provider to consumers, and it's hard to get consumers to care about you or the
other consumers.
You, by contrast, are a human, with hopes and dreams.
If you find others who share those hopes and dreams in your city, and you
invite them to conspire with you to build something that can help lots of other
people find the belonging and support they need, you just might be on your way
to starting something that will bring both profit and fulfillment.

a hard slog, but the space is now running reasonably well, (although I have

I'm new to the group and currently looking at opening a coworking space in 
Leicester, UK.
One of the reasons why I'm interested in building a community is to make 
connections with developers and other contacts as potential collaborators 
in the various entrepreneurial ideas that I have.
Currently I run a traditional design agency which is predominantly print 
based and because we're based in a "standard" office at an out of town 
office park the opportunities to meet new people and make new contacts are 
limited, particularly in the web/app development arena.
As I'm looking at moving on and doing something different in the not too 
distant future, coworking looks like a really good fit for me personally 
and also professionally, and I was wondering if any other coworking 
managers/hosts have any experiences of working with people who operate in 
their spaces?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Mark

Much much easier to use for both call hosts and guests than the "legacy"

Hello,
I think for a lot of us hip young people you Skype, Slack, Google Hangouts,

some of the projects seem to be discountinued like Fedora Talk. But I came 
across a really interesting project called Riot.im: https://about.riot.im/ 
[https://about.riot.im/] that lets you have unlimited call participants, 
and you can set it up on your own server to ensure it's not affected by 
Skype being overloaded or down.
Riot.im is my top choice, but there's also Asterisk, which is more of a 
traditional solution - which lets you dial people in through conventional 
phone numbers, but it is also integrated with things like Google Hangouts. 
You can also buy hardware from them for your teleconferencing room, which 
makes it seem a bit more professional. Here's more info about Asterisk:

Are you using any teleconferencing solutions that you'd recommend? Let me

[Coworking] Are you using Gsuite/Google Groups/Sites in your space? #knowledgeshare

2017-07-31 Thread Bernie J Mitchell

After trying every super sex and cool app on the planet from Slack, Loomio 
and Group Buzz (ALL OF WHICH I LOVE) our (small) community decided to roll 
with Google Groups, which led us to uploading our 'handbook' to Google 
sites and now we are looking for ways to make more of this resource that is 
included in our monthly Gsuite subscription but we never look at! 

So if you have something that works well please share and I'd even be up 
for podcasting about it to share with others.

Hit reply to ber...@berniejmitchell.com or even better share to the group.

And if you are ever in London come and have a coffee guys! @WorkHubs ;-)

Re: [Coworking] Re: Member Communication

2017-05-31 Thread Bernie J Mitchell

Posters in the bathroom - right in front of where people are doing their
business!!!

We also have small Meet Up groups in our place everyday and we remind
people there.

I took an online course about slack to make better use of it.
I felt I was using 10% of it!

Just because everyone says "I use slack" does not mean they are using it
it's full potential.

Sorry guys - While I agree with "meet them where they are" - facebook and
LinkedIn are hell hole time sucks and should be avoided at all costs

When the OuiShare gang moved from Facebook to Slack and telegram a few
years ago we all got our lives back!

We tried Group Buzz but our community was too small and not up for it.

We'll give Group Buzz another go later in the year - my message here is
don't expect an app to give you comunuty!!

Last of all - go and say hello to members and get them on your weekly email
newsletter - make sure that newsletter does not suck!

We do a weekly email based around the topics of our meet ups - writing,
project planning, blogging, art and OuiShare.

BTW all the above suggestions have come from this Google group over the
last few years - thanks x

[Coworking] Google Calendar Room Booking App - Do You Know One?

2017-03-23 Thread Bernie J Mitchell

Boys and Girls, 

We are looking for something SUPER SUPER simple that will enable members to 
book their own time in the meeting room here @Work Hubs. 

Phil has a Google Apps account and even when the Meeting Room calendar is 
shared and set to 'public' it stays on 'view only'.

If you know of a very light touch meeting room booking software that works 
with Google Calendar that would work too. 

A full blown CRM / room booking/event suite/coworking software package 
would be overkill. 

Thanks ;-)

Love Bernie

[Coworking] Why I HATE this book: - Coworking Out Loud: How to Grow Your Collaborative Community and Strengthen Your Brand with Content Marketing

2017-03-03 Thread Bernie J Mitchell

Hey! I am not on commission, nor do I owe Cat money. 

Why do I hate this book?
Because it is the book I wish I had written (this AND 1984 By George 
Orwell) 

This *FREE ebook - is very well researched and presented. It boils through 
all the coworking, inbound, content, blah blah noise and gets to the core 
basics. 

For all of you coworking space owners, tummlers and community managers who 
*only 
*send an email or post a blog when you need something - save us all by 
reading and taking action with Cat's book ;-)

The tool's that Cat mentions like Trello, Buffer and Mailchimp continue to 
work well for our projects in OuiShare and coworking.

This is the link to get the eBook from Amazon - https://goo.gl/jLlccD

Love Bernie ;-) 

*FREE
1. I hate it when people write free in capitals but it seems the only way 
to get some people's attention. 
2. By the time you have read this it might have become a paid product. 
#justsaying
3. There are NO affiliate links in this post

Re: [Coworking] coworking beyond sharing office space

2017-02-21 Thread Bernie J Mitchell

Hi Caner and everyone!

Here are some places to look:

1. https://coliga.co/ - these guys run Agora in Berlin and we are looking
to set it up in our space here in London.

2. Look up 'value accounting' that is how OuiShare Fest team organise 'who
gets what' https://goo.gl/lRTFzU

3. We were at the Open-Coop event in London https://goo.gl/3D0yeh and
recorded podcasts that touched on this topic https://goo.gl/uBgTeO - it is
something that interests both me and my co-host Trevor from Coworking
Niagara.

4. Also double shout out to Alex's Enspiral and https://www.loomio.org/ -
we use Loomio in OuiShare, and I'd like to make more of this in other
places.

5. Every time I have been part of a project that is 'people working
together' there have been tears, that is not to say it is not worth it - I
LOVE the idea and my deep interest in all the points above stem from
wanting to look for a way to make it work.

What to look out for is - everyone else thinks someone else will do the
"biz dev and the close" - event the person who says they'll do it does not
;-)
People underestimate the effort they need to put in and also how long other
people's parts take. Example 'a few quick changes' on a website is NEVER a
10-minute job.

I hope that helps ;-)

Have a remarkable day

Hi Alex, what I mean is that I work at an office with four spare desks; we're

great location with good amenities but I've been having trouble trying to find
people who would be interested (and I know that they're out there!)
Hi Jeannine, you're exactly right. We have some empty desks and we're looking

I may have already posted this but I couldn't find it-I'm new here. Apologies if
I have.
I understand that hiring a desk in a company versus hiring a desk in a huge
coworking building (like the ones wework establishes) are both in some ways
quite different; or are they?

From what I understand, people tend to look into coworking when they want:

-To set a routine for their lives and their work as self employed individuals-To
work alongside like minded people or those in the same position-To network with
others-To be a part of a bigger community
So my question is; how do you promote the idea of desk spaces in a company
versus in a community of freelancers? How can you make it sound more appealing,
and how do you reach a market that would rather do their work in an office with
zero distractions and good amenities in a great location?
I've posted advertisements for our office on so many websites, tried to promote
on facebook groups, and I've been looking on freelancer websites, yahoo, quora,
and now google-how can I reach the kind of audience we want?
All help is super, super appreciated.

from around the world looking to start their businesses here. They don't

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.

2016-06-17 Thread Bernie J Mitchell

I think it depends WHY you have a blog. The story telling aspect is the key for 
me and using the blog to conect with PEOPLE rather than "marketing" is the 
process I'd recommend.
So when you are creating content it is easy as it is an extension of what is 
going on anyway.

This:
My boss hasn't given me any advice necessarily on how she got the space filled

bothers me. You are supposed to sign up something on the order of one a day, 
every day, for a couple months without any kind of support?
I am also a little curious also about the hard number: is that 250 irrespective 
of level of use of the physical space?
Anyway, the only way I know of to achieve 250 in a couple of months is to set 
up a sales funnel and move them on through. What's your closing rate? I mean at 
10% which is a nice round number, you have to have 250 (sales)/ .1 (success 
rate) = 2500 prospects X .25 (3 months selling cycle) = 625 prospects in funnel 
at any given time.
Those kinds of numbers require discipline and data. Not just for the sales but 
as Alex says, for the onboarding and integration into the existing.
It is an interesting challenge, really, but what kind of budget and/or 
resources do you have to work with?

Don't most virtual-assistants contract themselves out to a number of clients, 
for a fixed number of hours per week/month?

It strikes me that each member could simply choose to hire the services of a 
VA, independently of each other. 
If they all choose the same VA, and that person happens to live in the 
neighbourhood, and has a membership in the same space - that's just gravy.

Re: [Coworking] Suicide of a Member

2016-03-19 Thread Bernie J Mitchell

Angel - thanks for sharing this.

I've come across gallons of depression in working for yourself and just
trying to make life work - this story will strike a chord with many in my
community.
No just to be clear, no one has committed suicide but the dark stuggles are
certainly there.

As Tony said - Hugs ;-)
