Does anyone here ever partner up? How do you find a reliable partner? I’m on the internet marketing side (10+ years, in-house and agency), but obviously every side project I entertain needs content.
I’ve posted on Craigslist that I was looking for a partner and all I got was 49 emails from fat dudes with moustaches who own WAY too much leather. Was also thinking about attending a writer’s meetup group, but I think my chances of finding a writer who actually wants to build a site is thin.
To those of you who have collaborated long-term, did you find someone to work with online or in person?
It m ight help if you explain what you mean by a “partner”. It’s a vague word, that could mean different things in different contexts.
If you mean that you want someone who you can delegate your content-writing to, then that’s what you should ask for. You’ll get a better response if people know what you are looking for.
Assuming that is what you want, I personally wouldn’t bother with the likes of Craiglist, or similar sites. A competent freelance writer does not look for work on such sites. I would start by asking around for a personal recommendation. If that doesn’t work, search for someone advertising their services in your area. And if your budget runs to it, consider approaching an agency.
