Required: Your account or publication name and brief description, the account or publication you want to collaborate with, the specific collaboration format you are proposing (e.g., newsletter swap, podcast guest swap, Instagram story takeover, co-authored thread), and why you think the audiences are compatible.
Optional: Your audience size and engagement context, any shared interests or overlapping themes between the two accounts, a specific project hook that makes this the right moment to collaborate (new season, shared topic, news moment), prior interactions or connection with the recipient.
Email or DM format. Subject line (for email) or opening line (for DM). Body: 150–200 words. Three natural paragraphs: (1) personal opening and their work, (2) the proposal and audience case, (3) the ask and next step. Professional but warm register — this is a peer-to-peer approach, not a vendor pitch. No formal salutation beyond their name.
My account: A newsletter and podcast called PAPER TRAIL — weekly investigative coverage of financial crime, corruption, and regulatory failure, 14,000 subscribers Target: A newsletter called CAPITAL NOTES — covers financial regulation, institutional investing, and policy. 22,000 subscribers. Recently covered a major regulatory failure story that overlapped directly with PAPER TRAIL's coverage. Proposal: Newsletter swap — I feature their newsletter to my audience in one issue, they feature mine in theirs Why compatible: Both audiences are professionals interested in financial misconduct and regulation — different approaches (investigative journalism vs financial analysis) that complement each other Prior connection: No prior contact, but I've quoted their coverage twice in my newsletter
Subject: Newsletter partnership — PAPER TRAIL / CAPITAL NOTES
Hi [Name],
Your piece on the regulatory gap that let the [case] proceed without oversight was one of the most useful things I read this month — it filled in context I didn't have, and I ended up quoting it in PAPER TRAIL's coverage of the same story.
Both our audiences are interested in how financial systems fail — we tend to come at it from the investigative journalism side and your readers from a policy and markets angle. I think that's a useful gap to bridge: my readers would benefit from your analysis, and yours might find value in the source-level reporting we do.
I'd like to propose a simple newsletter swap: I feature CAPITAL NOTES to my 14,000 subscribers in an upcoming issue, and you feature PAPER TRAIL to yours. Single-issue, no ongoing commitment — a test to see if the audiences respond.
Would a 15-minute call to discuss this work for you? Happy to share our readership data ahead of time if that's useful.
