Coworking Community Builder Daily

Too often, coworking spaces compare desk pricing to working from home. But here’s the truth: people aren’t buying a desk—they’re buying something much bigger.

💡 What are they actually paying for?

✅ Getting out of the house & into a professional environment

✅ Access to a community, structure, and daily motivation

✅ Opportunities to network, collaborate, and grow

When I first paid for a desk 15 years ago, I wasn’t buying the desk—I was buying the freedom to work outside my house.

🚀 If you’re struggling to articulate your pricing, shift the conversation. It’s not about selling desks—it’s about selling a better way to work.

📢 🚀 I Wish This Existed When I Ran a Coworking Space

My favourite coworking spaces are built by people solving their own problems.

That’s exactly why we started the Coworking Community Builder Cohort. When I ran a coworking space in Euston, we were doing everything at once:

✅ Marketing & getting new members

✅ Fixing dishwashers & moving furniture

✅ Renting out offices & meeting rooms (sometimes swapping them around!)

💡 What made it work? Community. Back then, we had a thing called “Not So Manic Monday,” a 12-week sprint during which freelancers and creators set goals together.

That same energy is what makes the Community Builder Cohort powerful.

🚀 The next cohort starts in March. If you’ve been following along, you already know if this is for you.

📢 🚀 Feeling Stuck in Your Coworking Business? Try This Simple Shift!

Every coworking operator hits a wall. Sales feel slow, competition is fierce, and no matter what you do, it’s not enough.

I’ve been there.

Running a coworking space in Euston, London - we did everything we knew how to do—but there was still more we could have done.

✅ A stronger website

✅ Better social media strategy

✅ Different types of events to attract the right members

💡 The lesson? Sometimes, the next move isn’t obvious—but it’s there.

👉 Be kind to yourself. Keep digging. Your next opportunity is hiding just beyond the surface.

💬 What’s one thing you wish you had done sooner in your coworking space?

Every coworking space wants to build a thriving community, but most make the same critical mistakes that keep them from doing so.

💡 Here are the 5 biggest mistakes—and how to avoid them:

✅ Talking about "community" before it even exists – Build the vibe first, then the community.

✅ Ignoring hospitality – It’s not about fancy coffee machines; it’s about making people feel seen and valued.

✅ Exclusion instead of inclusivity – Avoid cliques—strong coworking spaces welcome everyone.

✅ Crap communication – If people don’t know what’s going on, they won’t engage.

✅ Focusing on quantity over quality – Growth matters, but a strong community matters more.

🚨 Want to avoid these mistakes?

📢 Want Your Coworking Space to Thrive? You Need a Vision.

I’m seeing it everywhere—new, well-funded coworking spaces dominating marketing while older spaces struggle to keep up.

But here’s the truth:

💡 The successful ones invest in the future. The struggling ones? They’re coasting on past success.

✅ This is BlackBerry vs. Apple all over again—one clung to its market position, the other built for the future.

✅ Your vision determines whether you grow or fade into the background.

✅ If you don’t have a clear vision, your space is already falling behind.

Maxi Jazz from the band Faithless said it best:💡 “You don’t need eyes to see. You need vision.”

🚨 With a clear vision:

✅ You know where you’re going.

✅ Your team is aligned.

✅ Your community feels it—and they stick with you.

💬 Does your coworking space have a vision for the future?

Summary:

People generally do not want to sign up for email lists.

Subscribing to updates is not appealing to most, including close acquaintances.

Signing up for an email list is likened to handing over £20 in terms of trust and value.

To obtain someone's email, you must offer something of significant value.

Generic updates should be replaced with more appealing offers.

An example of a valuable offer is a five-day educational email course on freelancing.

Providing valuable content encourages continued reading of the email sequence.

Building trust is essential through consistent and valuable communication.

I want you to know that readers will understand how you can assist them better through this process.

Effective email strategies focus on value and trust to engage subscribers.

👉 One of the biggest myths about email marketing? Thinking more subscribers means better results.

Here’s the truth: a smaller, highly engaged list is WAY more effective.

🔑 Pro Tip: Always give people permission to unsubscribe. It’s better to have 100 people who love your content than 1,000 who barely care.

💡 True story: A friend kept ignoring emails from "Dave" but didn’t unsubscribe because he didn’t want to hurt Dave’s feelings. Spoiler alert: Dave would be better off knowing who actually wants to hear from him.

Make it easy for people to unsubscribe—you can still be friends. And your email list will thank you for it! ❤️

What is the best way to set your coworking space up for success in 2025? Finish 2024 strong.

I get it—December hits, it’s dark, you’re exhausted, and maybe the year hasn’t been the best.

The desire to shut down and take an extended break is very tempting.

But here’s the thing: January is one of the most significant months for new coworking sign-ups (the other is September).

If you switch off your marketing in December, you’re leaving money—and members—on the table.

Here’s what to do instead:

Schedule some social media posts.

Line up an email or two.

Drop a blog post or YouTube video.

You don’t need your whole team working over the holidays.

But staying visible during December keeps you in front of potential members.

Plus, there’s less noise this time of year, so your content will stand out more.

Start 2025 with momentum instead of playing catch-up.

The small effort you put in now will pay off big come January.

👉 Want help staying consistent?

Join our Community Builder Cohort to get organised and plan for a solid 2025!
