Say goodbye to praying to the algorithm or selling your left kidney to pay for Facebook ads

There’s a MUCH faster way…
Add 100’s if not 1000’s of new quality subscribers to your email list while spoiling your current small but mighty audience and become the go-to expert in your niche – by hosting a Free List Building Bundles.
(You’ll even make some business besties all along the way.)
Collaboration Cash In literally gives you anything you’ll need (think: page templates, swipe copy, social media graphics, pitch templates & more.) to quickly catapult the size of your email list and reach online with free bundles even if you feel like technology has a secret vendetta against you.
– Leticia j Collins | The Balanced Business Bundle
Let me guess you want need a bigger email list…
Because every guru under the sun is telling you “There’s money in the list! You need to grow your list! If you don’t have a big email list, you’re going to die penniless loser and your hot dumpster fire of online business is going to fail you giant jackass!!!!” or you know something like that.
And if you see that stat one more time that “the email generates 4400% ROI more than social media” you’re going to vomit with anger.
It’s not like you haven’t been hustling your (cinnamon) buns off trying to get your stupid Convertkit account to show 500, 1000 even 5000 subscribers…it’s just not moving. (ConverKit isn’t stupid, we love Convertkit, it’s seeing your email not grow that’s super lame.)
It’s not like you haven’t tried:
❌ Featuring your freebie multiple times on every single blog article you’ve written that has all the green lights from Yoast – yet Google still won’t pick it up
❌ Creating such pins that Canva might just burst out in flames
❌ Hosting a free webinar or 5-day challenge but your audience and following are so small (and no one shared about it) so it did nothing to grow your list
❌ Swallowing your pride and started doing stupid finger-pointy dances for Reels & Tiktok (Curse you algorithm!)
Heck, you might even think about hosting an online summit.
But having to get, schedule, conduct, edit and post 50 + interviews while creating 50 + pages, managing all of the speakers, and the links, besides writing all the promotional content, sales copy, and hosting a Facebook group for it…
…When it’s just you – will leave you with literally no time to do anything else for your business (hello burnout city) and what if that summit doesn’t pan out? (NOOOOO!)
What you need is a repeatable list-building system that gets you a big burst of the perfect subscribers who hang around on your list and are eager to throw their credit cards at you….
… that won’t literally take every single waking hour for life for months to pull together.
What you need is to host a free bundle and Collaboration Cash-In is going to make it as easy as pie.
The results speak for themselves:
After hosting just 1 free bundle I added 4,000 new people to my email list and earned an extra $14,000 (And that’s not including all the new people that later went on it to buy my big signature course.)
You see, hosting free bundles is the ultimate little guy-approved growth strategy.
Instead of you fighting tooth and nail to get recognition from an algorithm with your cool 100 followers or 50 page views per day on your blog…
…You’re relying on 8 to 16 other contributors all shining a spotlight on your amazing content.
And because free bundles are only around for a limited time there’s built-in urgency to get everybody to take action and stop procrastinating.
You see it that’s why I love free bundles- literally, everybody wins:
Your audience: (regardless of how big it is) gets showered with amazing free gifts they’d normally have to pay
Your contributors: Get to grow their emails by 100’s maybe in 1000’s (which would cost them at least $300-$3000 in ad dollars normally.)
You: Get the biggest list growth plus….
“I got 4000 new subscribers in 5 days!”
One of the most successful ways I have ever grown my own email list and it was through a bundle! I grew my email list to over 4000 new subscribers in five days alone.
After hosting your free bundle Collaboration Cash-In you’ll have:
01
A fast repeatable list-building strategy that works without relying on ads
By using a free bundle in conjunction with slower growth study strategies you’ll be able to maximize the amount of eyeballs that you get on your amazing free content. You can host your free bundle once a year twice a year or just before any major launches.
02
“Go to” level expert status in your niche. whether you’re just starting out or pivoting directions
Becoming a go-to expert needs to be one of your top priorities so that way when people are talking to their friends and family you’re the person they refer to everybody too.
And if you accidentally pigeon-holed yourself into a niche you don’t want to be in like budgeting – when truly you want to be known for meal prep. By offering a meal prep kit – and BAM! You’ve got an instant audience of new people who know you only as the recipe person…(no more talking about spreadsheets for you anymore.)
03
Stop worrying about how you’re going to find (new) people actually launch too
Hosting a free bundle is an absolutely amazing way to get your name and reputation out there a month or two before any live launch or new product reveal. Also, a great way to get more butts in the seats of your auto-webinars
Plus you could even beta test a new offer as your free gift to get testimonials and social proof which make selling it even easier!
04
A sterling reputation online that leaves other creators begging you to get in front of their audience + sell your stuff – because you’re known for creating high-quality event and content
Wonder how all the coolest people online seem to be friends?
Well, the fastest way to make friends online is to get people amazing results – ones that blow them away. Hosting a well-run & organized bundle will do just that.
Which means next time they’re having a conversation with another friend who asks them if they know somebody who teaches about meditation, budgeting, or design – YOUR NAME is the only one that keeps slipping from their lips.
Here’s how Collaboration Cash-In is going to get you there faster:

-The Back To Dance Bundle
I was hoping to just double my email list but we ended up with 4,459 registrants so I 4x it! I tried doing a bundle in the past but this one this looked so much more professional and was SO much better put together. Collaboration Cash In saved me HOURS! I did the brave thing and reached out to creators who are WAY bigger than me, and some of them actually joined me in my bundle!
Plus you’re backed by our 90-Day Double Or Nothing Money Back Guarantee
If you go through Collaboration Cash In and host your free bundle within 90 days using our Patented free bundle system* and don’t add at least 300 subscribers to your email list – as long as you can show us the work (and your proof of your results), you can request a full refund and we’ll even double it for your time. (For more details click here*.)
Questions other smart cookie entrepreneurs ask before diving in head first…
“But aren’t I just going to get a list of freebie seekers and like a million unsubscribes?”
You would think that huh but it is actually the exact opposite. I have found that the people who got to know me through one of my free bundle gifts are actually more prime to buy (and do) because I blew their socks off with my free gift.
Could you potentially see an uptick in unsubscribes yes especially if you don’t have a rock-solid and interesting welcome series behind your free gift – but don’t worry.
We talked about some things to include in your free gift’s welcome series in the course.
And if you’re like “Of course, you’re going to say that Kate. You’re trying to sell me a course about free bundles – you can go ahead and listen to this episode of the OMGrowth podcast where Lanie Lamarre actually shares her experience & stats (including subscriber retention and tripwire sales) with being a participant in a free bundle
How to do you handle people getting upset that they're getting inundated with so many emails from joining the bundle? Do we share their emails with everyone?
1. You make it perfectly clear you will not be automatically signing up them to everyone’s newsletter list (it’s illegal)
2. On your sign up page, claim page & welcome emails you make it clear people can sign up for anything they want then unsubscribe without losing their access.
3. If it’s a paid bundle – ensure them they have six months to sign up for everything so they won’t get inundated with emails and can focus on completing the resources in an order that makes sense for them but you’ll remind them to download things before it’s too late.
4. If it’s free (they only have while the bundle is live to claim everything) so remind them to add labels, folders and filters in their inboxes if they get overwhelmed. (And again they can unsubscribe no hard feelings.) Most really do stick around.
In our last free bundle 4000 people signed up and by 3 weeks later only 421 had unsubscribed from my list.
“Um, that’s nice & all but how am I going to get people to give me their paid stuff for free?”
Just like you, other online business owners and bloggers are constantly looking for ways to get in front of new audiences & grow their email list that won’t cost them a lot of time or money. (Again there’s a reason why you keep on reading the same stats over and over again about email marketing)
But as long as your potential contributors are giving you something that is tripwire worthy or better that they are not currently offering on their site and is 100%, not a quiz or webinar – they’re good.
It doesn’t have to just be one of their smaller products free (Though that’s probably going to be the easiest thing for them to submit.)
But don’t worry in the pinch template you’re going to be customizing we lay out why being a participant in a free bundle is such an innovative and effective email marketing growth strategy.
"But I’m not in the online business niche, Will this work for me? Who would I ask?"
Hell yes. Consumers (aka normal people) love free stuff. Plus not a lot of people who host non-business blogs do free bundles – so it’s not a played-out strategy.
And if you’re worried that you won’t be able to figure out who to ask because you’re so similar to some of the other bloggers *I’m looking at you mommy bloggers*,
In the finding contributors module, you know the exact how to approach people who appear to create extremely similar content to you will actually want to say yes however yall won’t step on each other’s toes.
“Yeah, but how much time is hosting one of these bad boys really going to take?”
I’ve had one student do it in less than 30 days (I think it was 3 weeks – she was a designer who hosted one with her clients.)
For most solo business owners I say 45-60 days the first time you run it (since you’re starting from scratch-ish.) Just to give yourself breathing room.
The thing that takes the longest is your hearing back from potential contributors since we have templates for pretty much everything.
Honestly, this process is so repeatable you can get your second done in like 2-3 weeks as long as you get your contributors to submit their info fast enough – but honestly, I’d want you building hype for a couple of weeks too.
I would, however, only host one of these once a quarter at most. Most students see the best results by hosting a free bundle once or twice a year.
“This seems like an awful lot of work to not be getting paid… ”
Hosting free bundles is a blitz growth strategy that has long-term customer potential.
So while you’re not going to instantly get cash on the front end (unless you were implementing the LEAFS method – that we talked about in the course – what are going to have that’s how I made $14k) – having a list of very targeted people to talk to when you DO have paid offers or affiliate deals to talk about is HUGE.
“Yeah but tech haaaates me. I’m pretty sure my WordPress site has Voodoo doll of me!!! Do HAVE to buy the software you talk about in the course?"
Nope. You will need an email service provider, some type of hosting (your normal website works) & honestly some type of page builder to make your life waaaay easier. But you can choose whatever software you want.
Plus Airtable & Trello are free & amazing project management tools you should probably be using anyways. And let’s be real, 99.999 of people have a free Canva account.
We personally just found Leadpages, Elementor, and Divi to be some of the easiest pieces of software to use to host free bundles.
Is the content dripped out or do I get immediate access to everything?
If it’s on this page you get immediate access to it.
We also have an entire roadmap of all of the new resources & bonuses we’ll be adding to course. You’ll be getting those free of charge.
Can I email Kate with questions? Is there a private Facebook community?
Because this course literally has every resource you need, leaving no stone unturned and for us to keep being able to offer this program at a super affordable investment for most online business owners- CC does not come with any additional Facebook group or private support from the creator Kate Doster, so no you can’t email her with questions about your specific bundle.
HOWEVER, you can submit your questions to potential be answered on our private student podcast stream. Kate chooses the questions that are most relevant to all the students inside of Collaboration Cash-in. So a submission does not guarantee a reply.
Also if there is a resource you’d like to see added – let us know. (And of course if you can’t access the materials for some reason – you can email kate@katedoster.com you will just not receive private feedback like “Is this a good name for my bundle? That’s answered in the course.)
“Okay, but how long do I have access to the course?”
As long as the course is still a thing, you get access. And if I ever do decide to Sunset it and you will get plenty of emails and instructions telling you how to download the content of the course. Also, I have no plans on retiring this bad boy because it is so awesome.
Oh and you get free updates too (and you get INSTANT access to the ENTIRE course.)
“Will you really give me double my money back if it doesn’t work out?”
I totally want you to be over the moon with your purchase but I need you to actually use it.
I do offer a 90-day refund period for purchases.
If the program didn’t help you add 300 subscribers to your list (and you had at least 10 contributors) using our systems, simply show us your work & results and we’ll issue you a complete refund for double the amount you paid. (Click here to learn more about what work & results we require.)
You simply can’t buy this course, shelf it, then 92+ days later ask for your money back. That won’t work.
Is there an affiliate program for Collaboration Cash-in? I'd love to tell my audience about it.
We have a student only affiliate program. You’ll be able to see all the details about becoming an affiliate in the Getting Started module.
It’s up to you:
Look, you can choose the fast, fun way to grow your email list (and bank account) while making a name for yourself, spoiling your ride-or-die current audience members, and wowing the pants off your peers…
Or you can grid away – hoping Google, Pinterest, or Tiktok finally loves you enough to put you in their audience (for a little bit at least.)
But honestly, I think that you deserve a break and to finally get the results that your work passion and content should be getting.
Let Collaboration Cash-in with its templates, checklists, and emails do the heavy lifting for you, for your free bundle.
Just don’t be angry at me (@kate_doster) on Instagram when you have to upgrade to the next tier of Convertkit because you went over your subscriber limit so fast.
