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 ?
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;
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?
@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.
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 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
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…
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.
@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?
