How To Use Google My Business To Get More Leads For Your Coworking Space
Love it or loathe it, Google is still the primary search engine in the world, pulling in over 90% of the search engine traffic. Every day there are approximately 3.5 billion searches per day on Google. That’s a lot of chances for you to get your coworking space in front of your future community members. But how do you utilise this search capacity, and turn it into leads for your coworking space? If you’ve read any of my other blogs, then you’ll know that I think that one of the simplest, che
Why A Blog Will Win A Cage Fight With Social Media
I had an agonising chat with a mate who runs a coworking space the other day, so I'm writing this post rather than punching them on the nose. They said they would invest all their marketing money in Instagram when the lockdown ends so people could see their space. I was in tears. "I know I need a website, and once people get there, then they can buy a membership. That's the job of a website." "But it's much quicker to take my phone and make a caption and hashtags than write a blog post." Yo
Why we need to talk about coworking
For a decade now, I've been watching people marketing coworking space. I've spent even more time watching people do marketing for their small businesses. I see a massive disconnect between what people say they want to do and what they actually do. Think of it like this, Dave Ramsey says that the best place to look for your life and financial priorities is your bank account. When I was a student, I'd whine about having no money and snuggling to pay the rent. When you looked at my bank account
How do you get your first few customers?
We're minutes away from launching our Velvet Platform and are looking for our first round of customers or early adopters. Everyone from freelancers to coworking space owners asks me, 'how do I get my first few customers?' This post will share the basic outline of what we are doing to get our first customers. And then, in the future, you can come back and read what is working and what is not working. So, how do you get your first few customers? That is hard to answer, and I know I need to w
How I'm absolutely boosting my productivity score every week
So, reader, last week, I took a look at how my workflow and execution was going in this post here. After a week of action, and there was a lot of effort, the hard truth is I've got a lot of improvement to do. Part of me still feels like I'm writing a blog for someone else. Ten years ago, one of my freelancer jobs was ghostwriting a thought leadership blog for a tech firm's CEO. As I write this, it feels like I am making this up for him, not me. But the problems I'm having are mine, and I'm
How I Stopped Working In a Whirlwind and Boosted My Productivity
So, reader, I stopped writing here for a couple of weeks, and this post is about how I got back in the groove. In the last two weeks, I've been losing my hair, and parts of my body have been falling off with confusion and stress. Then I thought about how to set the reset button. It can't go on like this; I spent a day walking around, hoping that by the end of the day, it would all have sorted itself out. It did not. There was not anything particularly wrong, but I felt a massive amount of b
Do We Improve a Weakness or Focus on Key Strengths?
TLDR - I got a good result from doubling down on a weakness. Before you get into this post, I'm offering a very personal reflection of weaknesses and strengths. So if you are looking for scientific confirmation, this is not the post for you. My miserable, little life is a constant work in progress with highs and lows. I am yet to make enough money to set fire to Lamborghini's 'live' on Instagram for a laugh, so don't expect a watertight success formula here. So should we improve our weaknesses
How To Best Use Marketing Budget To Open A Cool New Coworking Space
I had a few calls last month with people opening a coworking space in their local area. This post has the answers I found myself giving every time; all of the people I spoke with were independent owners with their own money. They are opening in their local town or village because they do not want to travel anymore. You'll have noticed our global pandemic. The pandemic brings an endless debate on the future of work; together with a wheelbarrow load of uncertainty. Even people like me, who h
The Best Way to Market Your Coworking Space is to Keep it Simple.
Quick start to your marketing plan, well you need to allow at least fourteen hours. And then the time you spend thinking about it. But you don't make thousands of pounds a month by spending a few minutes making a plan and executing it in one day. The Pain A lot of the pain we face with marketing is not knowing what bit to do when. Every book, video, blog post or course gives us a new idea. You end up trying a new thing every week, second and third guessing yourself. I also believe people
