Writer/artist ($100k/y) looking for collabs and cross-promos

Hey, I've been lurking here for a few days, and I want to make it clear that:

• I am NOT looking for free labor
• I am NOT looking for a technical co-founder
• I am NOT looking for a co-founder at all, I have my stuff going and I don't need to start a venture or anything

I am a multidisciplinary visual artist that likes tech, productivity, and personal growth. I started out pretty much homeless, with no income and a crippling addiction to alcohol and nicotine. I'm well past that now, and I've been working freelance for almost ten years for a variety of clients all around the world. I learned -- and I'm still learning -- a lot. I am trying to document my journey in a newsletter I'm running, let me know if I should post the link or not -- I don't want to spam it.

I managed to get my first $100k in a year in 2021 (actually almost 200k). It's been a huge victory for me, and although this year has been challenging with markets bleeding everywhere, I am expanding and trying new stuff -- like that newsletter, for example.

However, it's clear that I'm better at drawing and writing than promotion, marketing, and community building. My newsletter's growth is slow, and to try to reach new people, I was thinking of partnering up with like-minded nerds to cross-promote our stuff. Although I am fine with just mutual shoutouts -- I understand we are all busy -- I am also looking for more "involved" collaborations.

I would like to interview creative people -- or be interviewed myself. I would like to research a topic together maybe and write a joint article. Maybe some Twitter shoutouts. Some paid help for writing or brainstorming. A new Gumroad tool created together. I don't really know, I just like to MAKE stuff, and I would love to find some people to talk with.

Let me know what you think. My email is info@flygohr.com if you want to reach me directly, or simply reply to this post with some ideas
