Have you noticed the rise of paid newsletters? Some are being monetised by platforms like Substack (and even Skool) where people pay for a subscription. Others are being monetised by sponsorships. I have done 2 so far myself, plus 2 more in the pipeline. I've recently discovered a platform called Passionfroot which honestly, I'm still trying to work out what it is exactly... But I *think* it's a place for creators to advertise sponsorship spots in their newsletters. I also just received an email from Destini Copp about a new app https://newsletterprofit.club where you can list your newsletter to connect with other creators to collaborate on newsletter sponsorship and more. Have you explored newsletter sponsorships as a collaboration mechanism? Would you like me to debrief my experience with newsletter sponsorships?

EDITED 12 SEP: I've scheduled our first virtual meet up in the Cosmic Lounge here in the calendar. Make sure to add the event to your calendar so you don't miss it! I'll upload the replay to the classroom after. I'd love to know when is the best time to host the first Meet Up? This first one will be a bit of an onboarding session to take you for a tour around the Innovation Lab, Opportunity Observatory and the Cosmic Lounge. Plus we'll get to come together for our first meet up (I'd like to do these monthly to start). When is the best time for you?

Welcome again to the CoLAB Club! Now that you’re here, it’s time to start building those valuable connections that will take your business to new heights. Here are your first action steps to get the most out of this community: 1. Introduce Yourself: We want to get to know you! Share on a new post (use the Member Directory category) about your business, what you’re currently working on, and the types of collaborations you’re seeking. This will help us build our Member Directory and get everyone connected with potential collaborators quickly. 2. Share Your Upcoming Collaboration Opportunities: Do you have an event, launch or project coming up where you’re looking for affiliates? Maybe you're hosting a Bundle, Summit, Collab Course, Writing a Collab Book or some other collaborative event and you're looking for partners? Post the details in a new post (use the Collabortunities category) so I can include it in our upcoming "Weekly Collaboration Transmissions." Let’s start creating powerful partnerships right away! 3. Set Up Your Skool Profile: Make sure to fill out your Skool profile with important details like your business niche, skills, and collaboration interests. The more information you provide, the easier it will be for others to find you for the perfect collaboration opportunities. Let’s get started! Take these steps to introduce yourself and share what you’re working on. If you need help or have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. We’re all in this together, and I can’t wait to see what we’ll create as a community! To infinite possibilities and beyond! 🚀 ⚡️ Action Step: Comment on this post after you have set up your Skool Profile! Don't forget to add your Myers Briggs profile (if you don't already know it, go to 16personalities.com to find out more!) 🙏🏻
