Step 1
Define Your Ideal Partner Profile
Use Claude to write your partner ICP: audience size, content type, audience overlap with your customers, and complementary (not competing) products.
Step 2
Source Partner Prospects
Use Perplexity and Ahrefs to find newsletters, podcasters, and content creators in your niche whose audience matches your ICP. Build a list of 100 candidates.
Step 3
Research Each Prospect
For your top 50 prospects, use Perplexity to pull their recent content, audience size estimates, and any existing affiliate relationships they mention.
Step 4
Write Personalized Pitches
Use Clay or ChatGPT to generate a personalized first paragraph for each pitch referencing something specific about their content or audience, then attach your standard partnership offer template.
Step 5
Send and Track
Load the outreach into Instantly.ai or Lemlist and send in batches of 10 per day. Track replies and route interested responses to a CRM pipeline.
