When it became clear that flattening the curve would need a commitment from all local businesses, two local Portland, Oregon coworking companies knew immediately that the best decision would be to close their physical spaces. Collective Agency and VIDA Coworking’s spaces closed in late March, and respective owners Alex Linsker and Melanie Marconi swiftly moved much of their programming online to maintain as many member amenities and offerings as possible. Eighty percent of their members have committed to pay their membership fees during this unprecedented time. How is covid-19 impacting the b ..read more

How much holiday time off are new companies giving these days?
New Worker Magazine
by Travis Henry

by Travis Henry You’ve heard the stories: Startup grinders working through Christmas to meet a deadline, eating out of a can in a cubicle for a holiday meal.   Or, on the flip side, you’ve probably heard of the “unlimited vacation” tech companies that go dark for the whole month of December and only resume work after the New Years’ hangovers wear off.  Most of today’s inventive new companies actually land somewhere in the middle, with an appreciation of some holiday downtime coupled with a need to keep up the work in an effort for success.

The guide to writing killer proposals
New Worker Magazine
by Aaron Beashel
4y ago
by Aaron Beashel  In the past, proposals were long, boring documents delivered via PDF. Entrepreneurs couldn’t get data on how clients engaged with the document after it was sent. As a result, follow-ups were hit and miss. Unfortunately, some people still deliver proposals in PDF form. I will show you why that is wrong, and a couple other key things. In short: a proposal is designed to convince a client to hire you. It should be easy to read, persuasive and make it easy for the client to take the next steps. If your proposal doesn’t get read, the client won’t take action, and you won’t g ..read more

Management should ask them what system elements work, where communication breaks down, or where talking fails. Are they getti ..read more

Expert hacks for traveling with makeup

by Leanna Serras Last time I was traveling for business I had a meeting almost immediately after we landed. When it comes to early morning or very long flights (this one was both) I prefer not to wear any makeup in the airport or on the plane.  For this reason, I had my makeup stashed in my carry on, ready to apply a the airport after arrival. However, I wish I would have known what a hassle it would be. First off, I tried to bring on a tub of expensive face lotion that I thought was regulation size. It was not, and I was forced to throw it out. Secondly, my compact broke, spilling ..read more

Social media is longform marketing
New Worker Magazine
by Natalia Forrest
4y ago
by Natalia Forrest Social media is often held up as one of the central pillars of the supposedly modern malaise of “short attention spans” or “the decline in quality content” or even “the death of real media.” Lumped in with emojis, acronyms as common speech and clickbait (and often containing all three), platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are seen as short, immediate hits of information that consumers barely look at before moving on to the next thing. Many marketers buy in to this perception, developing campaigns based around what can be consumed quickly and in the moment — wha ..read more

by Daniel Page

by Daniel Page One of the greatest challenges for any new writer is to find their voice. Yet when it comes to blogging, it’s also one of the most important things you’ll ever do. There are literally thousands of blogs out there. Thousands of blog posts are written every day. If your own blog doesn’t have a unique angle, it can and will end up lost in the noise. That’s why it’s important that your writing be uniquely you. That you approach things from a unique perspective and write in a way that engages and captivates. A good voice is the first step in achieving that. But how do you fi ..read more

by John Williams Women are a key part of a growing contingent workforce of freelancers, consultants and part-timers.

Careful, it’s a scam! 5 ways to recognize legitimate work from home offers
New Worker Magazine
by Michelle Arios
4y ago
by Michelle Arios The anonymity the internet provides makes it easier for scammers (or at least shady businesspeople) to present opportunities that aren’t nearly as lucrative or safe as they seem. Found an amazing work from home offer? Great! But before you get too excited at the prospect, make sure you’re not falling for a scam. 1. What kind of information do they want from you? Be careful what you send out. It’s not unusual for a work from home job to require some kind of resume, but it shouldn’t require you to submit a wealth of personal information to an entity you do not know. M ..read more
