We do not rely on coworking revenues, we had an office before starting, which belongs to us, and happens to be oversize for our regular advertising team (just three), so we thought coworking could be nice to: a. exchange views and experiences b. get some bill-paying money (that's what it is, bill-paying money) I find the discussion *profit vs. nonprofit* very interesting on this blog, and we are making up our own opinion... will get back on this. As to advertising, we are trying adwords (if 43 clicks in a month mean anything...) but it's mostly word-of-mouth. And Coldplay soundtrack was - of course - "in my place"... max ciao krys!

That video was nice (I happen to really like coldplay though!). There's a nice co-working spot down the block from my office, called Blank Spaces (Los Angeles). I think it has similar difficulties although my last visit made me think that business is starting to pick up for them. I wish I had the means to start one too. Still pondering on it. What means of advertising are you guys employing? -krys Hey,
