Strategic partnerships can help you earn more while working less hours
Looking for a quick way to scale your income and provide a significant boost to your career? Look no further than partnerships.
When executed well and when done strategically, high-value collaborations with businesses and leading voices in your industry can increase your visibility, make your marketing and outreach 10x easier, drive more revenue your way, and throw open doors to high-visibility career opportunities.
How Partnerships Lead To Scalable Income
Clients are great. And don’t get me wrong, every freelancer needs those to get started and to establish some level of credibility. But partnerships are even better. Think brand deals, affiliate marketing, co-marketing, launches, podcast appearances, and guest posting for blogs and reputable platforms.
The right partnership could lead to:
- Passive income assets
- Opening wedge into new markets
- Five-to-six-figure launches of your digital product
- Retainers, giving you peace of mind and saving you constantly chasing clients every week
- Huge boost to your credibility and trust with your shared audience
- Etching yourself in your target audience’s memory for years to come, creating the groundwork for a legacy from your career and business
Partnerships also tend to have a ripple effect. Once you land one or two, and know how to market it well and include them as part of your outreach and personal branding on LinkedIn, you’ll receive more, as more key players in your field will take an interest in your work.
Using ChatGPT can help you discover and unlock these partnership opportunities faster than ever…if you know what to ask it.

Avoid These Mistakes When Pitching
- Leading with what you want…how much will they pay, how much visibility will you get, etc.
- Leading with what you think they need.
- Sending generic copy-paste pitch templates and bcc-ing everybody.
- Quitting after sending one email and not receiving any response.
- Making your pitch too long and full of paragraphs–not easily scannable for busy decision-makers with hundreds of emails to wade through.
- Lacking credibility and authority markers including proof of expertise and portfolio.
Instead, try this:
- Lead with the value you offer and how you share the same/similar goals and audience.
- Conduct your research about them.
- Tailor your pitches based off this research.
- Send follow-up emails a week later if you don’t hear back, and engage with them on LinkedIn.
- Make your pitch concise and to the point; no need to share your entire life story. Break it up into one or two-liners, not chunky paragraphs.
- Include credibility markers that prove you’re an expert worth partnering with.
Following these ChatGPT prompts and quick tips above will bring you in front of the right people. And the right network and collaborations are priceless for your career growth and success. After all, people are your most important asset, second to your skills.
