Ok, let’s talk about the Collaboration Corner experiment from the last issue. You might remember that I build a simple form for you all to find help with a project, to plug into a project, or for “matchmakers” hoping to make a valuable connection or two.

The majority of you wanted to see what projects were being offered (totally cool). Couple of things came up about that though. First, if you signed up for any reason, everyone else could see your email (not ideal). Second, I’m pretty sure no one else was able to see the spreadsheet it automatically made with all the project requests (correct me if I’m wrong!). I personally didn’t get any responses for what I needed but that could just be because no one could help! 

Long story longer: I want to figure out a better way to do this (taking suggestions) but for the time being I’ve made a fresh form. 

Here’s how it works (I think):
Open and fill out the Collaboration Corner form;
Check out the spreadsheet it generates (if it indeed generates one);
Ignore everyone else’s email address;
See if a connection —anywhere in the world— can be made.

Heads up! The contract for my bread-and-butter client is coming to its natural conclusion at the end of this month. That means a) I’m open to new clients (yay!), and b) I may not return to the zine for a spell (sorry!). I’m not quite ready to unveil the new website for my consultancy just yet but if you know of any senior level marketing and communications opportunities, esp. remote ones, PLEASE let me know. 🙂
