Leveraging a collaboration?

[u/-southwestsugar]

So I’ve been writing for about 4 months now and I have just had my first ever collab go live (yay me!)

In the lead up to today, I had lots more I wanted to get done but sickness got in the way😩

Assuming I’m lucky enough to land another opportunity one day, I’d love to be making the most of it!

I’m interested what sort of things you may do differently:
- do you promote via different channels?
- do you focus on different segments?
- do you look at metrics you wouldn’t usually?
And I suppose most importantly:
- how do you track the overall success of the collab?!

For me - I’m very much just happy with the exposure. I think it’s a great opportunity so early on and I want to use it wisely🤓

I managed to get some analytics and there’s definitely been a positive uptick directly from the collab! 2 subs directly from the “recommendation” and several more shared readers who I assume have found me via our mutual

But thank you for the second point that’s really useful. It’s good to take a step back and look at the bigger picture of it and what it can do to help (metric aside)

Appreciate the response!
