# How to find people to partner with

Find someone who serves a similar audience, then suggest a small project that helps both of you.

“Let's partner” is a hard message to answer. Partner on what? How much work will it take? Why would it help?

It gets easier when you have a small project in mind. A workshop, a useful integration, or a guest session gives the other person something they can picture.

## Work out what you could do together

Suppose you make invoicing software for photographers and want to co-host a session on pricing photo work. Someone who runs a community or teaches courses for photographers could be a good person to speak with.

Ask ReacherX:

> Find people on X/Twitter and LinkedIn who run communities or teach courses for photographers. I'd like to co-host a practical session about pricing client work. Look for people whose recent work relates to that topic.

Open the results and read what they teach. You want a reason their audience would care, not just a large follower count.

Interactive demo: Propose a useful collaboration. Write a partnership proposal that explains what each team contributes.

## Suggest a first project

Instead of asking for an open-ended partnership, explain the idea:

> I liked your guide on building a photography portfolio. Would a short co-hosted session on pricing client work be useful for your members? I can prepare the examples and run the technical setup.

Adapt that to what you can actually offer. Say what you'd do and what you'd need from them. If there are costs, fees, or shared revenue to discuss, bring those up before either of you starts working.

A one-page outline or [short video](/blog/outreach-with-images-and-video) can help them judge the idea quickly.

## Keep the first version small

You don't need a long-term agreement to find out whether you work well together. One useful session can be enough to learn what to try next. ReacherX can help you [prepare plans for a few potential partners](/blog/create-plans-for-several-people), each with a different proposal.
