Hi, I'm Tara! I'm a multi-passionate business and marketing coach.
Most entrepreneurs think collaborations happen in the DMs or through constant social media networking. But here’s the truth: I haven’t been active on Instagram or any major social media platform since June 2022, and collaborations still bring in some of my biggest client projects and email list growth.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the exact process I use to find, vet, and follow up on collaboration opportunities… all without getting stuck in the social media scroll.
In this episode, I share:
[00:00] Why I no longer use social media for collaborations and what I do instead
[01:02] The two main ways I find and land opportunities
[02:18] Why volume isn’t the key to collaboration success
[05:33] My exact step-by-step research process
[07:48] When to create your own collaboration opportunity
[09:06] How pitching has led to my best collaborations
[09:43] Setting realistic collaboration goals
[11:11] My weekly ClickUp routine for staying on top of opportunities
[11:55] How I vet and choose which collaborations to say yes to
[13:45] Why variety in your offers makes collaborations more effective

Collaborations can be one of the most introvert-friendly ways to grow your business but only if you approach them with strategy. By focusing on fewer, more aligned opportunities, you can give each one the attention it deserves, connect more deeply with other contributors, and see better long-term results.
And the best part? You can do it all without relying on social media to find your next opportunity.
Tara Reid is a multi-passionate business and marketing strategist for introverted entrepreneurs who want to grow without relying on hustle culture or social media.
