Guess who's an idiot, has two thumbs, and definitely didn't realize this post 
was six years old.

Yep. 

You guessed it.

It's me.

Original post was from over 6 years ago. Lots could happen in those 6 years
:)

I might be wrong, but a little bit of googling and the best references to
south end coworking charlotte I can find is this article from 2014:
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/small-business/article9110489.html
which suggests that either "South End Coworking" rebranded somewhere along
the way as "Industry Charlotte."

South End Coworking -- Your website is still down. Probably not great for 
promotion. Not trying to be a jerk, just sincerely wanted to make sure you knew.

Yes, we post in areas that aren’t exactly here, but are close.
Not sure if all of Craigslist is the same, but for us we post in Housing: 
office/commercial and events.
Community sometimes gets rejected. Depending on your area, you might need to 
post 1x, 2x or 3x/day.

All great suggestions!
In addition, we post on all of the aggregators (mostly to improve SEO), be 
sure our SEO is good because a lot of people will google [your town] 
coworking. You should be on the first page. And Craigslist. We probably get 
1/3 to 1/2 of our members through Craigslist. (We train carefully on this.) 
And have shills over the first month or so! Get your friends to work there 
free to start so the place has a vibe initially.

Have fun!

A large sign on our door (plus a QR code) describing that we're
upstairs has done a lot to capture random foot traffic that wanders by
our door. I'm working on approval for a sandwich board sign out front
too to hi-lite what events are happening in the space.

 Promoting an empty room is much, much harder than promoting one that's
 already teaming with activity.
