7 Virtual Coworking Communities for Online Business Owners to Join
Can we talk about how isolating and straight up LONELY running an online business can be?
No coworkers.
No office small talk.
No one in your immediate vicinity to celebrate (or vent) with.
When I started my online business, I truly didn’t understand the magnitude to which this would affect me. I’m an introvert for crying out loud! I LIKE being alone. But still, I miss being surrounded by – and working with – other people.
Lucky for me (and you) though, virtual coworking DOES exist, and I’ve been on a mission to find some of the best coworking communities for online business owners to join (you’re welcome).
Blogging Club
- HOST: Yours truly!
- WHEN: Thursdays, 8-9:30am PT / 11am-12:30pm ET
- FREE!
Blogging Club is for business owners who KNOW blogging matters but keep letting it slide to the bottom of the priority list.
Every week, we meet and tag ourselves on a silly group moodboard (arguably one of the best parts of the community), share what we’re working on, and then work on our blogs – together.
Completely chill, cameras on or off, and if you finish a blog draft during a coworking session you’ll have the opportunity to submit to me for personalized feedback and edits for just $25.
Work On Your Own Stuff Wednesday
- HOST: Caitie Cupples (Caitie Cupples Creative)
- WHEN: Wednesdays, 9-10am PT / 12-1pm ET
- FREE!
The name says it all – for one hour every week, WOYOSW is the place to hit pause on client work and prioritize your OWN business. Bring a task you’ve been putting off or a project you’ve been working on and tackle it with likeminded peers!
Cameras optional, and even if you DO happen to use the time for client work, there’s no judgment (because Caitie is just awesome that way).
write sh*t mondays
- HOST: Bridget Baker (Bridget Baker Branding)
- WHEN: Mondays, 9-10am PT / 12-1pm ET
- FREE!
Whatever kind of writing you need to get done – blog posts, emails, social media content, a book project – write sh*t mondays is for you, ESPECIALLY if you’re the kind of person who needs a little bit of structure to kickstart your brain.
Cowriting calls start with a short somatic exercise, a quick writing prompt to warm up, then 35 minutes of heads-down writing time for whatever you want to work on.
→ Join write sh*t mondays here.
Monthly Co-Working for Solopreneurs
- HOST: Chelsea Hetherington
- WHEN: Once per month, session dates vary
- FREE!
Chelsea hosts a once per month co-working session for solopreneurs who hate networking, icebreakers, or any kind of forced sharing. No breakout rooms or any extra frills – just show up, work, then leave.
Monthly co-working is great if you don’t have time to participate in something every week, and this one in particular is PERFECT for introverted entrepreneurs.
→ Get more information about Chelsea’s monthly co-working here.
Blog-A-Longs
- HOST: Danielle Johnson (Defy Creative Co.)
- WHEN: Tuesdays, 10am-12pm PT / 1-3pm ET
- FREE!
Blog-A-Longs are 2-hour-long coworking sessions meant specifically to help you dedicate time to get a blog post DONE.
You can also watch Danielle as she creates a blog post live on the call, so if you’re someone who likes seeing the behind-the-scenes process of things (or you’re just nosy 🙋♀️), these sessions will be especially fun for you.

The Playhouse (paid)
- HOST: Deanna Seymour
- WHEN: Thursdays, 9am-12pm PT / 12-3pm ET, with a different focus each week of the month
- COST: $20/month
The Playhouse is part coworking AND part networking space for creative business owners looking for a low-pressure space to genuinely connect and collaborate with peers. Hangouts are scheduled every Thursday, with the second Thursday of each month designated specifically for coworking.
This is a space to connect with likeminded people and potentially find your next collaborator, referral partner, or even client.
→ Learn more about The Playhouse and join here.
Writing Club (paid)
- HOST: Sarah K Peck
- WHEN: Mondays, 10-11am PT / 1-2pm ET
- COST: $140/month
This one’s a more high-touch space for founders and entrepreneurs interested in deeper accountability with writing. At the end of each coworking call (where attendance is tracked for another level of accountability), there are breakout rooms where everyone shares a snippet of what they worked on.
There’s also monthly intention setting and a group sheet to keep up with what other members are currently working on.

Soooo, What Are You Waiting For?
Online business can feel lonely, but it doesn’t HAVE to! Virtual coworking is one of the easiest and quickest fixes for the isolation working from home can sometimes bring.
Plus, there’s magic like nothing else in body-doubling, especiallyyyy if you’re a neurodivergent entrepreneur like me. There’s just something about being in a room with other people (even a virtual room) that makes getting into a flow and tackling things you’ve been putting off easier.
And if blogging specifically is the thing you keep putting off?
I’d love for you to join Blogging Club! Bring a fresh blog idea or a half-finished draft from six months ago and WRITE alongside cool-ass peers. 🙂
