[Coworking] Re: remove me please
Hiya, Spike, I think that's true, When I started on listservs nobody could do anything to their account without a helpful admin. Mostly the mods couldn't do diddly when it came to accounts. We couldn't change notification settings without an act of Congress, either -- the notion of setting your account so that you didn't get email notification or only got it once a day was not an option that came up. Though my recollection is also that back in the day, by the time it reached the point that somebody posted a get me off this list it was more in the nature of a protest action, having sent multiple emails or PMs to the admins who did not respond. But thank heaven for the do it yourself era, it has saved me a lot of time. I also think that as these things have changed, our notions of what is and is not private has changed, as has (as you rightly say) what is and is not the role of an admin. I know a number of people who consider offlist contact annoying and/or inconvenient. Particularly the ones whose problem is that they are getting too many emails. I contacted a woman to let her know that she could either turn them off altogether or just get one a day or one a week or whatever she liked and was the recipient of a rather unpleasant return email suggesting my IQ was lower than room temperature as I responded to her problem of too many emails by sending her an email. She was not incorrect, I just didn't see it that way. I expect that in this case, somebody not-an-admin saw the problem first and suggested a solution in the easiest way possible -- by responding as the request was made. It's a worldwide list and not everybody is in the same time zone. Sometimes you have to wait for the nearest admin to wake up. :-) Happily, unhelpful ridicule has not been much of a problem on this particular list, the couple times it has come up it has been pretty effectively sat upon thus far. The biggest problem in my mind is autoresponders when folks go on vacation and they are mildly annoying and mostly sort of funny.

Re: [Coworking] Re: remove me please
And I apologize if I came off as flippant...but we don't add people to these groups, they add themselves. And, well, I've been 'admin' (and there are multiple, but I'm the only one that ever goes in and approves messages) for nearly 5 years now - and I run a company and have a life and I've never been paid (In fact, I've put tens of thousands of my own money into this movement). So if I get a little annoyed that someone who ADDED THEMSELVES MANUALLY to this group won't remove themselves in the same fashion, I think I'm justified. But go ahead and anyone take over the admin of this list from me that wants to clean out spam daily, send emails to people who aren't spammers, but are big self-promoters that they need to change their message before approved EVERY DAY, approve people asap in whatever time zone you are in multiple times every day so they don't resend and resend and resend the same message until there are dozens in the cue. And you'll do it quietly and nobody will know you have dedicated yourself to this until...one day you say to one person that they can remove themselves thank you very much. I really don't need justification for asking someone to DIY and figure it out themselves. It isn't a simple 2 second thing for me to go and remove someone from the list (google makes this complicated). For them, it is a simple CLICK. One. Single. Click.

Re: [Coworking] remove me please
We saw the same thing years agowe felt it was better to educate everyone that they can take themselves off. We ran the service with 1.5 people and the more automated and self-help we had things, the better. On the other hand how COOL is it that the list is getting so busy that people are now bugging out!

In the past when a subscriber to a list sent a please get me off this list one of the admins would deal with it and contact the individual *off list*. These days it seems to be the norm to send messages to people and all the other subscribers telling them how to do it themselves. On another Google Group (that I will not mention) the potential subscriber was subjected to a torrent of unhelpful ridicule from other members. This Google Group has over 3000 subscribers and five admins - could one of them not have contacted the person concerned - off-list - and dealt with it privately.

Re: [Coworking] Forum Segmentation
Great tip. I bet a community like TED has a lot of the same issues we face. Does anyone know any of the moderators that might be willing to talk with us about how they came about with their solution? In other news, Tony B. rocked a connection and got me in contact with the project manager for Google Groups and I pitched my forum/mailing list hybrid idea to him. He loved it and asked if we would be open to being beta testers for some of their new features. Impossible to know timeline or how that would work out, but it's fun to be part of the conversation.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Need an Inexpensive Business/ Marketing Plan for your Coworking Space?
Hi Yeves Perez, Thanks for your reply and clarifications. During my due diligence, I hear that you are no longer involved as the President/CEO of EcoHub San Diego? In addition, I located this online, I guess some people are pretty upset with you? Via Google: http://yevesperez.com/ referencing the mini-madoff?? Your business plan services for $1,000 is a lot of money to spend for a business plan, especially when it doesn't outline the pro forma-financial strategy to break-even and profitability, even if the place is donated, someone has to operate the coworking place to keep the community together. To me, for coworking, marketing is marketing, by developing a community of users and providing a quality product/service with recognized and sustainable value, people will spread the word Good or Bad. Thanks for your time. And good luck! On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 1:21 PM, EcoHub ype...@ecohubinc.com wrote: Wow - these are all great questions. Although I cannot disclose certain information as we are a privately held, C corporation, nor do I have clearance to do so, I can clarify a few details. I also support your statement that a pro forma is really important. Please note: I wrote this off the cuff, so please forgive me in advance. Just be clear, EcoHub's pro forma is placed in the business plan under section titled, Business Model, and I would advise any space owner to do the same. We called our chart a Model Hub which included: ideal office square footage, dedicated space square footage (breakroom, lounge, etc.), monthly revenue or $/ sq. ft. assumptions, then additional revenues to total monthly gross revenues, then calculated COGS in order to total net revenue, etc. (so we could entice a property owner to invest in the company and defer rent for a period of time). If I were to write your business plan, you could expect me to ask you many questions to do the same. This plan of enticing the property owner worked for us, because today, he is a share holder, and our initial 1400 square foot space did receive a deferred rent deal for a undisclosed period. I am also allowed to summarize that we opened our doors in April 2010 and inched into the black late July. Then in Oct 2010 and again in Jan 2011 we expanded into two additional suites and pay rent a rent for an undisclosed period. We also have a second investor that wrote the checks to fund the up start costs, so the article is not 100 percent correct. Now, for our first expansion, we did ink a donation/ strategic partnership with Steelcase and bkm Officeworks. http://www.prlog.org/11259532-steelcase-and-bkm-officeworks-advance-sustainability-through-support-of-ecohub.html And, our beautiful Kirei Tables were custom made, most materials were purchased, and labor costs were a struggle. However, we did what most space owners did, which was to put a old pair of jeans, roll up your selves and get to work (Pics Here - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=217433id=357577790096). So going back to our business plan, the majority of the description for our business model went to clearly stating what business we were and weren't in, and introduce a enticing model to for the landlord- turned-investor. I hope this (maybe too lengthy) response helps. I will also say that regardless of what your advantages and disadvantages you may face (i.e. free, deferred, donated, paid, found at the dump, or whatever) and regardless of what EcoHub achieves or does not achieve, a recent study says that a business plan doubles your chance for success. http://smallbiztrends.com/2010/06/business-plan-success-twice-as-likely.html So, if anyone finds value in what I am offering, please email me at yevesperez (at) gmail (dot) com if you need a good plan. I prefer to use paypal and will email you a payment request in order to get started. I am offering to write your plan for $500 down and $500 after completion. P.S. - If anyone needs want detailed examples from other spaces, net revenues, operating expenses, etc., there are several who have contributed their data to this forum for educational purposes. Just type in the key words into the search bar and lots of great data will pop up. Thx for the opportunity.

As in any business, the numbers have to make sense, otherwise, who is paying the bills? Can you provide some high level numbers on EcoHub? What was your startup costs, as I understand from the articles is that your space was donated to you by the EcoHub landlord, and what kind of revenues/numbers are you getting, since you really didn't need much capital for EcoHub since the furniture and space, equipment, etc. were initially provided/donate by the landlord, correct, per the article.
