How can you know that there’s enough demand for a coworking space in your town without personally polling each and every remote worker or freelancer in a 20 mile radius? In this article three space owners share their ideas for gauging interest, and knowing when both you and your community are

[Coworking] Getting the word out for a new space

2010-12-13 Thread rob obrien
As an organizer who is starting a new space, I can use a few tips from the pros as to what works in getting the word out to potential co- workers. I live in a small western NY city called Canandaigua. Its close to Rochester (which has a co-working space.) The city has a population of about

Cadu, The biggest problem with the creative economy as an idea is it's an enforced one, not an emergent one. It's usually the one used by the Economic Development Centers and local governments to describe a group of people that they're not. As a result, the people that they're describing don't

Best of luck for the coworking space in upstate. I went to college up there and know the area, it's beautiful but as you said it's rural. Regarding Jelly, my limited experience in NYC was that it attracts all ages, so go for it. My other ideas are based on the Hive at 55's experience with

Cadu, I think what you're describing is accurate. I think it's important to remember that Coworking isn't about the rooms full of desks, chairs, power, internet, and interesting smart creative people today - but instead, about prototyping and making examples of the new ways that people CAN work,
