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

[Lauren McDaniel]

Wiehann,

We just implemented Nexudus for our space and it seems pretty convenient 
once you get the hang of it (though there is a learning curve, I've 
realized). 

Do you have any tips on boosting the SEO of the website and moving your 
site up in Google rankings? I see yours comes up right away. Or does it 
just come with time and mean adding more blog posts and content to your 
website? Right now our website, projectY cowork Los Alamos comes up as the 
sixth listing when you search for us via Google. 

Would appreciate any tips regarding this that you have to share! 

Thanks,
Lauren

[Coworking] Membership Terms - Legal Clause about 24/7 Access

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi everyone, I'm starting a new coworking space that will allow members 
24/7 access. Does anyone have tips for language we put in the membership 
agreement that protects use in this case, and holds members accountable for 
what happens in the space after-hours? We're using Kisi doorlock system, so 
we'll be able to see who enters the space. Thanks in advance for any 
guidance on specific language we should include in the membership 
agreement!

[Coworking] Tax Deduction Offered to Coworking Members

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi everyone,

Do any of you have some sample text you use with members of your space to 
promote (and make them aware) of the tax advantages of working in a 
coworking space?

I want to alert our members that their membership (and punchcards) can be 
tax deductible if it's a business expense for them -- I believe this 
applies to those who freelance, run their own company or even use the space 
as their office when they're working remotely for another company. Is this 
all indeed correct? I checked with a local accountant and he seemed to 
think this was all legitimate. 

We just opened last summer, so I'm looking for any recommendations -- as 
tax season will be upon us shortly! 

Thanks in advance.

[Coworking] Basic Nexudus User Guide/Manual for Colleagues

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi, 

I'm currently the sole operator of our coworking space, and I'm putting 
together a SOW for colleagues who will need to take over for me from 
time-to-time.

I'm interested in pulling something together about Nexudus, in particular, 
with some very basic guidelines to help them navigate the platform. I know 
there is the online portal for questions, and the primary Nexudus contact 
is helpful, but I'm just seeking a quick tutorial/reference guide. Have any 
of you, who use Nexudus, pulled something like this together by chance? If 
so, would you mind sharing? 

Thanks in advance for any tips!

[Coworking] Re: Basic Nexudus User Guide/Manual for Colleagues

[Lauren McDaniel]

Yes, that's my concern - that it can be a little overwhelming/daunting 
given that it manages so much. I was hoping to create a user manual so 
someone new to using it can at least get a basic understanding and refer 
back to this document in order to jog their memory of where to look for the 
basics. Perhaps I should start with Nexudus directly to see if they have 
anything like this. If they do, I will report back!

[Coworking] Member Thank-You Ideas for the Holidays

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi,

We just opened our space in June 2016, and in honor of the upcoming 
holidays I would like to thank/acknowledge our members and other users who 
have chosen to give us a try. 

Is anyone willing to share ideas that worked for their space, and was 
well-received by your community members? Right now I'm considering 
personalized thank-you notes as well as a holiday mixer/party with free 
drinks and food. 

Thanks!

[Coworking] Hosting a Hackathon

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi - I'm looking for ideas on how to host a hackathon at our new coworking 
space. I'd like to solve a community issue, perhaps at the County level or 
in partnership with a local university. 

Does anyone have tips for running a hackathon and who to partner with so 
the end-result actually offers a community benefit? What are some of the 
topics/challenges you've posed to the participants? Any tips would be 
greatly appreciated!

[Coworking] Recommended TED Talks - Your Favorites!

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi again,

I'm putting together a calendar of TED Talks in 2017 for our weekly TED 
Talk Tuesdays that stream in the space (they are open to the public over 
lunchtime). I generated a list of talks in the second half of 2016, and I'm 
looking for recommendations on the best talks you've seen that have a 
business / entrepreneurship or science / tech bent, which seem to be of 
most interest to our community. 

Thanks!

[Coworking] Coworking payments for reservations & cancellation policies

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if there are general best practices for when to require 
payments for space reservations (especially if they are booking a space for 
the entire day). 

Also, similarly, what are your cancellation policies? Do you keep a certain 
percentage at different time periods leading to the scheduled booking? 

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!

[Coworking] Seeking recommendations for glass walls/offices

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi,

I'm exploring the possibility of adding some glass-walled offices to our 
coworking space and curious how much these typically cost. I'm looking for 
enclosed (with door) floor-to-ceiling options since the purpose would be to 
create more privacy for phone calls. Seeking an option that could fit one 
desk and another that could fit a desk of four. 

I'd welcome all suggestions and manufacturers! 

Thanks,
Lauren McDaniel

Tabari,

Thanks, I have seen that page, yes. I just thought it could be kind of 
daunting for someone just getting acquainted with Nexudus, but perhaps I've 
leverage that for a custom guide of sorts.

Thank you! 
Lauren

Hi, 

You need to create a Slack account first and then people can invite you to 
certain channels once you've joined.

Scott,

This is great to hear, congratulations to you! I also run a space in a town 
similar to your size, and we're just about to celebrate our one-year 
anniversary. Very good news that you're succeeding in a smaller market.

Re: [Coworking] Coworking in Small Towns - Discussion Group?

[Lauren McDaniel]

Thanks, Jerome and Chris!

Chris, I think let's start with the slack channel for now, and figure out 
the demand for something bigger. I will invite those from GCUC who were 
interested in staying in touch, to the group as well.

[Coworking] Holiday Promotion Ideas

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi,

Has anyone offered some holiday promotions for their spaces that they 
deemed successful? 

I'm about to do a mailing to local home-based businesses and want to offer 
them something compelling to try out our space.

Any ideas or recommendations would be very much appreciated. Thanks in 
advance!

[Coworking] Re: getting rid of the "co-working" hyphen

[Lauren McDaniel]

Hi Lauren,

I'd be interested in hearing what you have done with this since 2014. Any 
progress? I had recently posted a question here on this topic as well, and 
was directed to your original post. In New Mexico the prominent business 
journal is publishing a new coworking list but using "co-working" because 
of AP guidelines. 

I'd be willing to support a social media / hashtag campaign, which you 
mention below. Has anything been done with this yet?

Thank you for this! I reached out to the other Lauren to see if she had any
update since 2014. Would love to see a consistent use of "coworking"!

[Coworking] "Coworking" vs. "Co-working"

[Lauren McDaniel]

I know many in the industry prefer "coworking" vs. "co-working" 
(hyphenating it). In New Mexico one of the prominent Business Journals is 
publishing a new coworking list but the survey states 'co-working.' When I 
approached the list editor that industry standard has become 'coworking' 
she said they follow AP style (but appreciated the heads up). I wonder what 
it might take to get AP to change it to one word? That might be what others 
are following as well (beyond just media). Any thoughts?
