Creator Collab Outreach List and Pitch Sequence
Scores and tiers collab targets by real reach and fit, then writes specific pitches, two value-add follow-ups, and swap terms.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I can definitely help you find potential podcasters to collaborate with on episodes and cross-promotion opportunities. Tell me more—what's your podcast focused on, what are the core topics you cover? Who's your target listener demographic and audience? I'd suggest looking for podcasters who have similar audience sizes and overlapping content interests. You could search podcast directories or look at the creators who are already covering similar topics in your niche. Once you have a decent list of potential collaborators, you'd want to personalize your outreach to each one. What specific kind of collaboration are you proposing—guest episode appearances, reciprocal promotion, co-hosted series?
CREATOR OUTREACH SEQUENCE — 20 TARGET PODCASTS: TIER 1 — QUICK WINS (collab likelihood: 80%+): 1. Podcast: Morning Momentum Listener overlap: 65% (self-improvement, habit-building niche match) Angle: Co-host episode on 'broken productivity systems.' Your contrarian approach fits their audience. Email tactic: Reference their recent episode on morning routines. Offer fresh perspective from your angle. Follow-up: 7 days if no reply. 2. Podcast: The Long Game Listener overlap: 52% Angle: Guest spot on quarterly goal-setting. Bring actionable worksheet for listeners. Email tactic: Mention their Q2 episode on goal-setting, propose guest appearance with takeaway framework. Follow-up: 5 days. 3. Podcast: Growth Mindset Weekly Listener overlap: 48% Angle: Cross-promotion. Their learning episode plus your shipping episode. 2-way promote on each show. Email tactic: Point out audience alignment. Propose mutually beneficial episode trade. Follow-up: 10 days. TIER 2 — MEDIUM LIFT (likelihood: 60%+): 4-10: (Similar structure, ranked by engagement potential. Examples include podcasts on founder stories, building fast, business operations, bootstrapping.) TIER 3 — LONG SHOTS (likelihood: 40%+): 11-20: (Larger audience, less likely but higher upside. Examples: podcasts with 50k-75k listener bases, established brand shows.) SEQUENCE RULES: Space outreach 3 days apart. Pause if 3+ rejections received. All emails match brand voice—casual, direct, no corporate jargon. Success metric: 2+ booked collabs by 2026-09-30.
About this skill
Your collab DMs get ignored. Your target list is a mix of creators 50 times your size and accounts that stopped posting months ago. Your follow-ups say "just bumping this." This skill turns a vague plan like "do some collabs" into a scored target list, pitches people actually answer, and a follow-up cadence that ends cleanly.
What it does
- Scores each target on audience fit, reciprocity, collab history, and reachability, then sorts them into tiers so you pitch in the right order
- Compares creators by effective reach, such as average views, opens, or downloads per episode, instead of follower counts
- Writes first-touch pitches under 120 words: a specific hook about their work, one concrete ask, and a reason for them to say yes
- Builds two follow-ups that each add something new, like a drafted blurb or proposed questions, plus a clean close-out
- Spells out swap terms (placement, length, timing, links) so neither side gets a lopsided deal
- Sends in waves and tells you when to fix the pitch instead of sending more
What you get
A tiered target table with scores and reasons, ready-to-customize pitches per tier, a dated follow-up sequence, swap terms to send once someone says yes, and tracker columns for logging replies.
Best for
Podcasters lining up guest swaps, newsletter writers planning recommendation swaps, and YouTubers or short-form creators pitching collabs to creators at or slightly above their size.

description: Builds a scored, tiered target list for creator collabs, guest swaps, and cross-promos, ranked by effective reach and audience fit rather than follower count. Then writes specific first-touch pitches, two value-add follow-ups, and explicit swap terms. Use when the user says "help me find creators to collab with", "write a collab pitch", "I want to line up 10 podcast swaps", "plan newsletter cross-promos", "nobody replies to my collab DMs", "my outreach keeps getting ignored", "who should I reach out to for a collab", or "how do I follow up without being annoying".
