Generally love these types of arrangements (i.e. partnering with someone who brings domain expertise and connections), but are there are a lot details that you shouldn't overlook:
1) Do the numbers make sense to you? Learn enough about
the margins and the market that you are comfortable
with the business opportunity.
2) Get the terms right. Be sure to address any equity
stake, timing of payments, expenses and record
keeping/trakcing. Take a look at Amazons affiliate
program agreement for examples of the kinds of issues to
keep in mind.
3) Greater Risk = Greater Reward. If you expect a
"minimum tech wage", do not expect to reap the full
fruits of your efforts.
Good luck.
P.S. Depending on your level of trust/confidence/req'd investment in this project and your partner, consider having a legal document drawn up to address your biggest concerns (but I wouldn't even bring this up until talks get much more serious).
- newstart 16y agoThanks for the insights, will have a look at affiliate programs to see what types of safeguards are built in. Thanks!
