Question about a referral swap that saved my freelance design work

I was stuck with dead weeks between client projects, so I tried a simple swap with a copywriter I met at a Denver coffee shop. We agreed to send each other one referral a month, no money, just names and emails. Three months in, she sent me a bakery branding job worth $2,400, and I sent her a landing page client who paid $1,800. Has anyone else tried a straight referral trade with another creative pro, and did it hold up long term?
