I enjoy working with like-minded people on adventures that inspire and support everyone involved. Whether it is a joint venture, affiliate programs, interviews or endorsements, I believe that there is a world of good that can come from a well-matched pair (or team!).
Due to the number of projects and commitments on my plate, I cannot accept all of the offers and invitations I receive for collaborative efforts. To help manage the large numbers of invitations and requests I receive, I created this page to give you some additional information on what kinds of collaborations are most likely to be a “good fit” for me at this time.
And please know that if I decline your invitation or idea, it isn’t because I don’t like you or your idea — I’m sure I do! It’s just because I only have so many hours in my day (alas!) and have to be selective about what additional commitments I accept.
What I look for
Here are the main points I take into consideration when I decide which interview requests I’ll accept, what joint ventures I’ll undertake, and what affiliate programs I’ll sign up for. Fitting all of these criteria won’t guarantee that I’ll say yes — but it certainly increases your odds!
1. Do we fit?
Please be familiar with my blog, services and products. I want to make sure that what you’re planning matches the spirit, tone and audience of what I offer without being something that I’m already offering.
If you’re unfamiliar with my work, please take some time to read my blog and perhaps interact with me on Twitter or Facebook, before contacting me about a joint venture or collaboration possibility. I like to work with people I know, don’t you?
2. Do our audiences mesh?
My audience is primarily women (along with a handful of wonderful men!). They are generally 35-55, well-educated, spiritually aware, with a high percentage of moms and women in transition.
3. Your audience and reach
- You must have an active and responsive list of at least 5,000.
- Your website must have an Alexa ranking of no greater than 750,000.
- Any teleseminar must reach an audience of at least 500,000 people.
- Pre-recorded interviews must reach an audience of at least 25,000 people.
4. How does your product/venture/idea add value to my audience?
Please make sure to specify how your venture or offer can provide the high-quality, heart-centered value to my audience. There are a lot of programs and products out there that claim, “Anyone can benefit from this!” But my audience isn’t just anyone. So please make sure you explain how my people will benefit from our joint venture.
5. No spam! Really, NO spam!
I hate spam. I do not want to receive it — and I sure don’t want to subject my audience to it. So I need to make sure that you use social media, email and promotional material in a way that is respectful of your audience’s privacy — absolutely zero spam, and promotions kept to a reasonable amount.
The Jen Stamp of Approval (Endorsements & Blurbs)
I firmly believe in offering my endorsement only to books I’ve read or products I’ve used. In order to allow my audience to fully trust me, I will only endorse the stuff I know I like and can support!
Because of this, I cannot offer a blurb for every book I get a request for, and I will only offer a testimonial endorsement for a product I’ve used.
If you have a book or product for which you want my endorsement or blurb, please contact me to see if I’m available to do a review. You can use the guidelines above to help you determine whether your request is likely to be a good fit.
Contact me
If you’ve read all of the above and you feel that your product or interview opportunity or venture is a good fit, by all means — contact me!
Warmly,
Jen
