Tin Shingle’s Co-Workers Can Spread Out On The Common Table!

We’ve kept the long table of GildedTwig (our landlord and building owner who previously had her art studio in this room) in Tin Shingle’s Co-Work Space so that members can leave their desks and spread out at the table if they need to.

Today we used the table to rip fabric off a wood frame and pinned the fabric in place on our cutting mat for future stitching. Because if you have some fabric you need to tend to quick while you’re doing computer work, you could!

Start a work membership today. You’ll get your very own key 🔑 key so that you can work on your own time and do self check-in.

Tin Shingle’s Co-Work Space is at 291 Main Street, in the Telephone Building. Below A Little Beacon Blog and Beahive.

High Times Magazine At High Times Holding May Burn Out

high times dank.jpg

According to an article at the New York Post, High Times Holdings, the publishers of High Times Magazine, is facing financial burden from debts it holds from investments. High Times also owns rival magazines Dope, Culture and Green Rush Daily.

According to the article: “Its crowdsourced IPO has stalled. It recently hired Toronto-based Lazer & Lazer to search for a new backer as it tries to dig out of $105.2 million in debts. In its most recent earnings report, Hightimes Holding incurred a net loss of $11.9 million for the 6 months ended June 30, 2019, on revenue of $10.7.”

in its latest SEC filing to shareholders, the company said: “Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements.”

High Times Holding is controlled by Adam Levin’s Oreva Capital, according to this New York Post article.

Tin Shingle wrote about High Times earlier this year.

Have you checked out Tin Shingle’s Co-Work Space yet?! It is located in the lower level of the Telephone Building right on Main Street!

We are so close to completing the space and these lovely plum chairs from Pier 1 couldn’t be a better addition to this comfy cozy space! We picked them up from the store, and assembled them here right in the new Co-Work Space . This is the private office available for small group meetings . Don’t you want to sit in this chair?!? You have our permission to drape your legs over the side of it. Maybe take off your shoes too…

IT'S HERE! 2020 Planner For Your Editorial Content Plans

2020-Editorial-Content-Planner.png

Tin Shingle's 2020 Content Planning Template Is Ready!

Dear Business Owners:
Your plan-ahead solution is here! You and your team can use Tin Shingle's 2020 Content Planner's 12 Month template. Organized by weekly segments of when you are going to publish an article on your own website, or launch a timely social media campaign to ride in those hashtags, getting inspiration for great ideas will be easier.

This planner is used in Tin Shingle's monthly TuneUp series, "What To Pitch The Media This Month" as it helps you plan ahead and know where the print media (magazines) are in their publishing cycles, and where the broadcast media (TV) is in for their schedule.

How It Works

Organized by weeks in the month, with a line for every single day. Coupled with national themes for that month to help you stay relevant. We found a few new fun themes.
Sample of National Celebration Themes In This Collection:

  • National Bald Is Beautiful Day

  • Keep Kids Creative Week

  • World Space Week

  • America Recycles Day

  • Parks and Recreation Month

  • Go Skateboarding Day

  • Take Back The Lunch Break Day

  • Take Your Dog To Work Day

  • Make Up Your Own Holiday Day

Knowing The Themes Is Great For:
1. Random ideas for content.
2. TV pitches, because broadcast media loves random excuses to feature things on TV, like National Doughnut Day or National Puppy Day (excuse to bring puppies on TV!).

How To Use It

Download this template. It is a color-coded Excel file with Worksheets devoted to each month of the year. Upload it to your Google Drive and Share it with your team, for updating on the go and whenever an idea hits you.
FREE: This template is Free for Tin Shingle's Media Kit Members.
FREE UPDATES: If you have purchased this in the past, you get this new 2020 edition for free!
