Whilst many freelancers effectively run their own business from home and the occasional coffee shops, others prefer the buzz of a working office environment.<\/p>\n

Co-working space provides the ideal solution for freelancers to connect with other creatives, network, make new friends, share knowledge and ideas, and even secure new clients.<\/p>\n

For these reasons and more, co-working spaces are growing in popularity – and not only amongst freelancers, but start-ups and established businesses as well. Most shared office providers rent out entire floors.<\/p>\n

For freelancers, the opportunity to work alongside other creatives doing the same or similar types of jobs is an opportunity to make professional and social connections.<\/p>\n

Co-working spaces are therefore a valuable resource for digital nomads that have recently moved to a new city and freelancers looking to hook up with like-minded professionals.<\/p>\n

Embracing the office environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Co-working spaces are typically fully-functioning offices with all the vibes you expect from a working environment. Most providers also have office facilities you can use such as photocopiers, scanners, printers and AV equipment.<\/p>\n

Should you need to consult with a client, give a presentation or brainstorm ideas on a collaborative project, meeting rooms are available to hire as well. If it works to your advantage, you can actually create the impression that your business is a larger operation than just you and a laptop.<\/p>\n

For some freelancers, being in the hub of a busy office pumps you up with some much-needed motivation. If you\u2019re the type of person that is easily distracted at home, co-working spaces help you ramp up your productivity levels.<\/p>\n

And if being around other creatives brings a spark into your life, then hanging out in shared office environments is a no-brainer. If you\u2019re lucky, the service provider will even provide free refreshments and biscuits. If not, start your own biscuit club. Make mine a chocolate hobnob!<\/p>\n

Convenience or flexibility\u2026or both <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Freelancers who rent shared office space have the option to choose from a fixed desk or hot desk. The latter is more cost-effective, whilst fixed desks provide you with convenience and stability.<\/p>\n

You can read more about the key differences and the advantages of hot desks and fixed desks in this article<\/a>, but to sum up, a fixed desk means you work from the same place every day whilst a hot desk gives you more flexibility to work from different locations.<\/p>\n

With BluDesk.com<\/a>, hot desking provides you with multiple convenient options because you only need one pass to work from an unlimited number of locations. And we have thousands of co-working spaces around the world that are primed for local freelancers and digital nomads to hook up.<\/p>\n

The main advantage of the BluDesk.com Membership Pass<\/a> is you can book a hot desk anywhere in the world without having to register with multiple companies.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, there is no contractual obligations to any one service provider. If you don\u2019t like a particular office for whatever reason, you don\u2019t have to return just to get your money\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n

Co-working spaces not only fulfil your professional needs but fill the gaps freelancers and digital nomads often experience in their social life. BluDesks.com<\/a> make it even easier for you to find the space you want to work from and connect with people you want to socialise with!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
