I like this tactic! I used to start random meetup groups, just to see if people sign up. Actually, I still have a group with 40-something signups (www.meetup.com/Barcelona-Euro…) and never ever organized anything for it. Maybe you can try to start a conversation with them? Or organize some sort of event to start to create community and discover what they are looking for?
I actually have done something similar on LinkedIn. There’s this group I created and it’s called “Digital Nomads Around The World” www.linkedin.com/groups/84784….
I created it a while ago and without any promotion there are currently 925 people inside. I still don’t know what to do with the group though.
And, just to clarify... on the Substack publication for Studiolist I had published stuff (on a weekly basis) so it’s not only a placeholder.

Yep. That’s a good idea, and it’s probably the direction I’ll be taking.
Approaching the people who signed up seems to be the bottom line of what you and the other WIP folks that generously shared their feedback here recommend.
That is a big group! I never started a meetup to start a company or business around it. It was more like, I want to learn more about this, let's see if other people are out there. I wonder how digital nomads are dealing with all the travel restrictions these days. Do they stay at places more long term and wait for things to clear up? A friend of mine is on the move and he tends to go to places he thinks are safer and less restricted.

Thanks Adriaan 🙏 😊
