I posted this previously on new communities, but I thought it would be good to share here.
Keyboard Vagabond, www.keyboardvagabond.com hosts Piefed, Mastodon, Pixelfed, as well as Write Freely (blogging) for travelers and digital nomads. Check out the communities for resources and links!
I went to a cafe this morning that turned out to be a pretty cool permaculture farm and yoga/health retreat. They asked me about IT help and wanted to attract more digital nomads.
Any advice I could pass on for what people want and how to promote?
I’m interested in org/locality based fediverse instances. I’m in 2 non general mastodon instances and I like how the content is more focused on the communities.
In this case I was thinking they could run an instance that guests could use to share their experiences and ideas for activities in the area. They could promote by sharing highlights on other instances like keyboard vagabond.
they would be welcome to have a post there!
But for promotion, one of the biggest issues I’ve had while traveling is the online presence. They should have a Google maps entry with the keywords that they want, their website should mention it, as well as their SEO entries.
I’d recommend them have keywords like cowork, nomad, digital nomad, retreat, health and wellness, etc. There are definitely people looking for that vibe when they travel!
A good place to recommend them would be https://piefed.keyboardvagabond.com/c/coworking_locations
Be sure to include the location and a summary as well to best help them get found, both in piefed and also on search engines ☺️
Makes sense, thank you.
I know quite a bit about SEO as a web dev. I’ve been thinking of pivoting into marketing to help businesses grow and get new ideas off the ground.
I think this is my entry point.
I don’t need the instances (we host pretty much the same ones), but I’ll be joining a lot of those communities!
