Officehours Streams is a work-related newsfeed that allows members to share articles, products questions, links, videos, gigs, and jobs. With it we aim to help our members find useful content, and skip the typical self-promotion.
@kunalslab Very, very, slowly. This is a bit of a chicken/egg problem and we’ve made it more difficult for ourselves by limiting post access to those we’ve approved. That said, we do have some members from the initial product (the one-on-one advice: https://officehours.io/advisors) so we’re not starting completely cold.
We ran into a similar situation with the one-on-one advice aspect of OH. It was very challenging to get anyone to pay attention, at the outset. So, even getting the first dozen advisors signed-up was like pulling teeth. As such, it required me to reach out to people individually, and nudge them (often unsuccessfully) to give it a try. In time, though, folks started signing up on their own, and it started to move on its own.
So, it’ll be a lot of legwork on my part, helping our members gain attention for what they’re doing, and coddling this along. In time, though, I think it’ll pick up its own momentum. I wish there were a more elegant way to approach this; but, community building is just hard.

Great idea. Much looking forward to seeing this evolve.
