Partnership and Cross-Promotion

Partner audiences: instant audience access. Trade promotions, share revenue, or cross-recommend. High-quality leads.

Partnership types

1. Affiliate — they promote, get commission
2. Cross-promotion — both mention each other
3. Joint product — collaborate on launch
4. Endorsement — they vouch for product
5. Co-host — joint webinar/podcast
6. Bundle — combined offering
7. Charity/non-profit — donations + brand alignment

Identifying partners

Good partner criteria:

1. Adjacent audience — overlaps without competing
2. Similar size + quality — mutual benefit
3. Brand alignment — values + audience expectations
4. Active community — engaged followers
5. Trustworthy — reflects positively on you

Outreach approach

Personalize each:

1. Reference specific content of theirs
2. Articulate why mutual benefit
3. Concrete offer (commission, content, etc.)
4. Low-effort first ask (intro call, content trade)
5. Document terms when serious
6. Track partnerships + results
