There are a lot of writers in NYC. So you buy a warehouse, and divide the space up into really small, sound-proof rooms.
Charge customers $250 a month to rent the space.
Just have to make sure customers are not sleeping in the room.
- sivers 14y agoLove it. I wanted to do this in Singapore. There are lots of co-working spaces but they're all so damn social, and what I really want is solitude. I thought it'd be great to make a co-working space called "Solitude" with lots of little 1-person rooms, and make it clear to any new customers that we're not here to chat and hang out. But alas it seemed that not many people were into this idea, and Singapore is so insanely expensive that it makes more sense to just find a quiet place at the library or something.
- intellegacy 14y agoYea the threat of free substitutes is really strong. Plus prices of real estate in NYC and Singapore are insanely expensive. Where are you based now?
- sivers 14y agoStill in Singapore. Rented a private office at http://smartspace.sg/ http://smartspace.sg/
- intellegacy 14y agodang, i was just there! Next time I'm in town let me pitch you?
- Tichy 14y agoExcept the view won't be quite as lovely as from those garden sheds.
- keithpeter 14y agoAdd a cafe in a central location but out of earshot of the rooms, and some open space with a few seats, and you'll be minted. I'd need a daylight source somewhere!
