"notjoe if you could show that you had all this other traffic and all these affiliates that this person you want to hire would get 20% of too than it might be different."

As word of mouth spreads about the program more and more unreferred webmasters would be joining. that 20% starts to look pretty nice when this happens instead of the 10% of all referred webmasters, eh?

"But you're telling everybody that you don't have many affiliates and traffic, that is why you are looking for a marketing whiz, so you're offering a ridiculously low price for this person, since he's going to be responsible for attracting new affiliates and traffic."

That is correct. If i was actually doing anything with the sites then i might consider hiring traffic brokers/contacting them instead of letting someone else earn their 20% of the entire biz by doing this.

As the company grows this person will make more and more. You may like to stick with your 50/50 deal, for only the sales you generate but maybe someone wants to put the work into something to earn 20% of every single sale.

"the cold reality is in this thread, you are not going to get any talented marketing or design person to take your offer - in fact without a guaranteed base salary it wouldn't make a difference if you were offering 60% of the net profits."

You're right, i am not going to get offers which is why i do have people icqing me. They're all telling me how they;re not interested.

Bottom line is if i was to be paying a marketing wiz to market the sites i would not be offering a percent of the company. Name one company who hires marketing people and throws 20% of the business, the entire business at them.

I sure CEN hired BT and said here is 20% of all net profits for CEN
