Collaboration
I am open to collaboration with media outlets, research centers, author platforms, and individual experts. I am ready to consider a wide range of formats — from one-off publications and guest columns to long-term joint projects, special series, and grant-based initiatives. Each of the formats listed below can be adapted to the partner’s goals, and if needed, we can develop a new format together.
Collaboration with Media Outlets
Collaboration with news outlets and media platforms, publication of analytical texts, joint columns, or special projects. I can provide original content, commentary, and in-depth analysis of events, while the partner receives high-quality analytical material for their audience, enhances the value of their platform, and attracts readers interested in thoughtful analysis.
One-off projects: Collaboration on one-time materials is possible — an author’s perspective on an event, trend, or narrative. The partner receives ready-to-publish content for a specific issue, event, or PR campaign, while I gain the opportunity to test formats, expand my audience, and strengthen network influence. The process includes agreeing on the topic, preparing and publishing the text, and posting an announcement on my blog.
Long-term collaboration and content planning: For more strategic cooperation, we can agree on a content plan months in advance and define key narratives for publications. This enables the creation of consistent series of analytical materials and special projects that support a strategic theme. The partner receives structured content, the ability to plan publications and promotion, while I gain a stable platform for large-scale analytical projects, audience growth, and brand influence. The process includes topic planning, task distribution, deadline and format alignment, as well as regular communication to synchronize content and promotional strategies.
Guest-Post Swap — Standard
A guest-post swap involves publishing analytical texts on different platforms. You publish your material on Residual Influence, and I publish mine on your platform. You gain access to a new audience, fresh analytical perspectives, and SEO links that strengthen the visibility of your content. In turn, I expand my blog’s reach and integrate different perspectives into my platform, creating meaningful discussions. The process includes agreeing on the topic and essay framework, preparing the text, editing, and cross-promotion on both platforms.
Guest-Post Swap — With Opposing Views
This format makes it possible to address one topic or event from opposing positions and publish texts on each platform with links to the partner’s arguments. The goal is not debate for its own sake, but joint coverage of the issue through contrasting analytical perspectives. You gain the opportunity to present your position in a professional dialogue and attract an audience that values deep debate. I expand analytical reach and strengthen the brand as a platform for thoughtful discourse. Work stages include agreeing on the topic and scope of the text, writing the essay with references to the partner’s arguments, and aligning the publication date with cross-promotion.
Guest-Post Swap — For Emerging Authors
This format is designed for young or emerging authors who want to publish on my platform. We discuss the topic and essay structure, conduct joint editing and adaptation for the audience, and then publish the material with cross-promotion. The partner gains the opportunity to test their skills and attract their first readers, while I expand my author network, gaining new ideas and fresh voices for the blog.
Mini-Series (3–4 Parts)
A joint mini-series consists of 3–4 analytical texts on a single topic, distributed between platforms. We agree on a central thesis, divide authorship by region or aspect, and create a unified promotional plan with a visual package. The partner receives ready-made content for their audience and strengthens the authority of the topic. I expand reach and create a large-scale series with cross-promotion, amplifying the influence of the blog.
Translation Exchange / Syndication
This format involves exchanging texts in different languages between platforms. We agree on deadlines and editing, after which translations are published. The partner receives high-quality content in their language and expands their audience, while I strengthen the international reach of the blog and its brand as a platform for global analytics.
Thematic Anthology / E-Book
In this format, 6–10 authors create a collection of essays on a single theme, released in digital form. The partner receives a premium product for their audience and strengthens their expert image. I expand my author network and create long-lasting content that can be used for PR and further promotion of the blog.
Joint Investigative Project with Data Visualization
This format combines my analytical texts with the partner’s visual tools — interactive maps, graphs, and tables. We jointly plan the topic and divide responsibilities: I prepare the analytical content, while the partner develops visualizations and interactive elements. The partner receives a visually and analytically persuasive product for publication with a high likelihood of citation, while I expand my audience, strengthen the brand of the analytical platform, and gain access to new visualization tools for my materials.
Joint Grant Project
A joint grant project involves preparing an application for a research series, event platform, or cross-border initiative. The partner gains access to grants and funding, as well as support in implementing large-scale projects. I gain institutional partnerships and expand analytical opportunities by creating shared resources to increase influence.
