How to Write the Perfect Discord Partnership Request

Most partnership requests get ignored because they're generic and one-sided. Here's how to write one that gets a yes.

Before You Send Anything

Do your research:

Is their server active? Check recent messages
Do they have a #partnerships channel? Follow their format
Are they the right fit? Similar size, complementary niche
Do they already have too many partners? Quality beats quantity

The Perfect Partnership Message

Hey [Server Name]! 👋
I'm [Your Name], admin of [Your Server] — a [niche] community  with [X] members. We've been active for [X months] and focus on  [what makes you unique].
I came across your server and love what you're building — especially  [specific thing you genuinely liked].
We'd love to explore a mutual partnership. Here's what we offer: • Permanent listing in our #partners channel ([X] daily active members) • A pinned embed with your server description and invite • Mention in our next community newsletter
No obligation — happy to chat more if you're interested!
[Your Name] | [Server Name] | [Invite Link]

What Makes a Good Partnership Offer

Specificity — mention something real about their server
Clear value — what do they get, concretely?
Low friction — make it easy to say yes
Professionalism — no typos, proper formatting

What to Avoid

Copy-paste blasts with no personalisation
Inflated member counts or fake activity stats
Asking for more than you offer
Following up more than once if ignored
Approaching servers 10x your size without something exceptional to offer

Managing Partnerships

Keep a spreadsheet: server name, invite, date added, status
Check partner links monthly — servers get nuked or go inactive
Remove dead partnerships promptly
Notify partners of major changes to your server

Alongside partnerships, make sure your server is listed on Discords.ai for organic discovery.
