Choosing the right partner is as important as choosing the right project. Before committing your time and energy, it’s crucial to learn how to evaluate an expert before starting a co‑production. This article gives you a step-by-step approach to analyze potential collaborators and avoid future regrets.
Why Evaluating the Expert Matters
As a co‑producer, your success depends on the expert’s content quality, communication, and alignment with your goals. A bad fit can derail a launch—even if the idea seems promising.
A good fit, on the other hand, leads to smooth execution, shared growth, and long-term success.
What to Look for in a Potential Expert
1. Authority & Expertise
- Does the person have a clear domain of knowledge?
- Are they recognized in their field (followers, speaking gigs, books, etc.)?
- Can they teach well, not just know the topic?
2. Audience Engagement
- Do they have an active audience (email list, Instagram, YouTube)?
- Are people interacting with their content—likes, comments, shares?
- Is there proof of trust and interest in what they offer?
3. Communication Style
- Are they responsive and respectful during early conversations?
- Do they listen and ask smart questions?
- Can you imagine collaborating over weeks (or months) without friction?
4. Content Quality
- Review their free content—Instagram, YouTube, blog, podcast
- Is it clear, well-structured, and actionable?
- Does it match the level expected for a paid course?
5. Alignment on Vision
- Are they looking to launch a course—or just testing the idea?
- Do they value strategy, planning, and data—or just want “quick wins”?
- Do their values match yours (education, ethics, transparency)?
6. Availability & Commitment
- Do they have time to record, review, and engage with the project?
- Are they willing to participate in launch tasks (lives, webinars, support)?
- Do they understand that co‑production requires their energy, too?
Tools & Tactics to Evaluate Experts
- Mini Interview: Ask about past content launches, course ideas, time availability
- Audit their content: Make a 15-minute review of their social content and write 3 pros and 3 gaps
- Look at testimonials or past products: Have they tried selling before? What were the results?
Red Flags to Watch Out For
- Overpromising without experience (“I’m sure we’ll make $50K easy”)
- Lack of clarity about audience or offer
- Delays in response, ignoring questions, or being vague about their availability
- Unwillingness to share data or collaborate in the process
Final Thoughts
Knowing how to evaluate an expert before starting a co‑production saves you time, money, and frustration. Focus on alignment—both in content and in collaboration style. Your first filter is chemistry, but your second must be clarity.The right expert is someone you trust, respect, and feel energized to build with. Choose wisely—and you’ll build co‑productions that last.
