Carrboro Creative Coworking

Starting February 1, 2010, some of our pricing will change. The One Day Coworker will be $15.00, and the Monthly Coworker will be $150.00. All Monthly Coworkers who have paid for the service before February 1, 2010, can continue to pay the old rate of $100 a month. I offer this as a THANK YOU for your support of Carrboro Creative Coworking.

These changes were made to strengthen CCC and help make it profitable. It wasn't an easy thing for me to do. I work very hard to provide affordable options. That is my most important goal. I hope you will still find these rates a value.

Remember that your first day at Carrboro Coworking is still free! One day is all it takes to discover what working here can do for you. Thank you for working with us and being part of our workspace community! As always if you have any questions please contact me.

Check out this nice piece called "The Shared Office" in Urban Land Magazine. It features many coworking and other shared office spaces around the world. One of them is Carrboro Creative Coworking. Urban Land Magazine is a publication of the Urban Land Institute. Thank you ULI for featuring us!

CCC will be closed December 24 and December 25 plus January 1, 2010. We will be open December 28 - December 31. The exact hours of those days will depend on how busy we are. If you are coming in those days let us know. The front door may be locked but someone should be here.

Have a relaxing holiday!

Last week was Carrboro Creative Coworking's first birthday. We opened our doors in early October 2008.

So much has changed. I've learned SO much. I have a beautiful son. The community has grown. So many smart and friendly people work here now. Its an amazing environment that is bursting with energy.

Unfortunately the anniversary came and went without much fanfare. Fact is I'm so busy that planning a party or other celebration was just too much. But sometime soon I'll organize something special. I want it to be fun and different. So stay tuned!

Telling people about Carrboro Creative Coworking has been largely done by word of mouth. Social Networking websites have really helped amplify this. By far the most valuable site for us is . Its a POWERFUL two way communication medium via your computer and mobile phone.

This week Twitter released . Its a great introduction to what Twitter can do for business. So if your curious how this free service can help you check . Here's a bit.

So what does Twitter do for businesses?

Twitter is a communications platform that helps businesses and their customers do a number of useful things. As a business, you can use it to quickly share information with people interested in your company, gather real-time market intelligence and feedback, and build relationships with customers, partners and other people who care about your company. As an individual user, you can use Twitter to tell a company (or anyone else) that you've had a great--or disappointing--experience with their business, offer product ideas, and learn about great offers.

A coworker here at the space started posting available jobs and freelance gigs on our board. A cool old fashioned way to get the word out. Even though most of us are web geeks and do everything online this method is still really valuable. A coworking space provides a physical location for people who live much of their lives in virtual worlds.
