Here are several ways you, as a KOL, could collaborate with the ebook author:

     • Choosing sales platforms (e.g., Gumroad, Amazon KDP, their own website).
     • Basic marketing funnels.
     • Identifying and reaching their target audience (e.g., relevant subreddits, forums, social media groups).

     • Could lead to a paid coaching/consulting engagement if desired and a good fit.
     • Content opportunity: You could (with permission) share insights from helping a new author, benefiting your broader audience.

2. Ebook Review & Audience Share:

3. Feature/Interview Collaboration:

   • Expected Benefit for Ebook Author: Access to a motivated sales channel (your audience) with performance-based costs (they only pay commission on actual sales).
   • Expected Benefit for You (KOL): Monetization opportunity while providing a genuinely valuable resource to your audience.

Initial Outreach Recommendation: Reach out to the Reddit user via direct message on Reddit. Acknowledge their post, express empathy for the challenges of launching a new product, and propose one of the simpler collaboration ideas first (e.g., offering a brief chat to share some tips or requesting a review copy if their topic fits your niche). Gauge their responsiveness and interest before proposing more involved collaborations.
