Would you pay to work from a coworking space?

[EDIT]

Hi everyone,

New here in Lagos, working with recently opened Seespace. We’re trying to understand how the entrepreneurial / freelance community here works.

Entrepreneurs/Freelancers where do you usually work?
Do you find value in being physically surrounded by peers to exchange ideas / challenge each other + make connections ?

Thx for you help
David

You really went through the trouble of shortening the link for us, how nice? Lets say somehow you’re just a bit.ly super fan, even though it 2016. How come this;

I don’t think you need any help David.

PS: I don’t think you’re new in Lagos either, but welcome to Radar!

Busted!
I cannot understand the increase in underhanded promotions on Radar these days?
@Daviscolli, why wouldn’t you disclose your affiliation to the entity you’re promoting na?

You’ve been made!

It’s all over for you now David.

I suggest you come back as Solomon.

@87_chuks: Thank you for revealing his clandestine operation.

A lot of people think Radar is some Nairaland or OLX or Jiji where you signup just for the sake of promoting your business without any intention of giving back to the community. Radar wouldn’t have been interesting if everyone came here to dump their product on us and disappear.

That said, Radar allows users to pitch their product or services, but if you want to do it then do it maturely. There is no need for some surreptitious promotion, especially one with a link embedded with UTM parameters. It makes no sense.

This is very true. It’s great to have more people contributing/joining Radar, however pls don’t spam us! So it should be something like ‘when you go to Radar behave like the Radarians’.

Actually is ‘Radarians’ the right word? Can’t remember…

Niggas will just sign up, and the next thing, dump shit on us for review or slyly direct boys to some blog post on how to be the next Zuck. No contribution whatsoever. :smirk:

Hi everyone !

Apologies for the underhanded operation
Here’s where I was coming from:

  • not wanting to do a simple outright promo post, because it doesnt give the same type of feedback.
  • actually wanting to understand how it works here, and where do freelancers / early stage entrepreneurs prefer to work from, and if seedspace’s offer is attractive to them

For what it’s worth, I am new in lagos, and I do intend to engage with the Radarians community :slight_smile: I share the same interests as u guys

Let me know if you have some valuable insight
Once again, apologies, I will think twice before using UTMs for a forum post. I was just looking to measure the audience/engagement of the post, didn’t know radar actually showed you the number of views / clicks

And if you want to come around and visit Seedspace, you’re more than welcome and coffee is on me :wink:

No worries @Daviscolli good to have you here

BTW, I’ve always wondered why office space don’t give a free pass as promotion? So if I was a co-founder in need of space and you gave me 2 days free trial/pass, I might be convinced (no guarantee), to pay after the free trial period.

Similar to how gyms, storage space etc are marketed elsewhere…

One of the Reasons i just drop some GIFS without saying a word :joy:

Hey bro, good way to start would be to add a profile image and go through all the topics in categories of interest to you.

I’ve seen interesting angles to topics that came months later.

Cheers.

PS: if you don’t do these, then you did come here to promote your whatever and not contribute. :blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush:

Interesting idea, thank you @PapaOlabode

Looks like a great space. Can I just walk in or do I need to book? I have a bunch of questions! Disclaimer: I own a coworking space as well, so I’m always curious about other ones.

is it possible to get a room arrangement for me and my team? shoot me an email @Daviscolli ikenna@acetowndigital.com

@Daviscolli @dupemacaulay I am thinking of opening a co-working space too. I’ve got a 5-bed duplex I can use for that. Are you guys open to giving me some pointers? Or better still, are you looking to expanding your own footprint?
