But the bottom line is 20% would be good if the roles were reversed.. I understand you can't do everything, but can you conduct effective marketing campaigns? Before you respond, let me tell you - If you could you wouldn't be here.
If you CAN but you feel your already juggling too many hats, then swapper around those jobs a bit and free up some of your time... hire someone to do the encoding, the deisgn work, bigger coding projects even (and audit it yourself).
That is how most successfull paysite operators operate. The main thing they are good at is marketing & coming up with good ideas, the rest is just a matter of deligating jobs to different people FT/PT or as needed.
You are bringing a lot to the table with all that content, but why wouldn't someone with the skills just purchase access to it (and more) from hostedcontet.com? ;)
I'm telling you if you want to find a good partner thats going take you both bigtime -- then offer 50%.
You do this and you'll find you'll get a whole different calibre of responses.
I mean it's basically going to be a 2 man team as far as the administration and idea lab goes - It just seems more... "partnery" (for lack of a better word) to offer an equal share in this empire you would like this person to create for you.

You are 100% right when you say i could do all this stuff but then you have to think where your attention is needed more and what your core business is.
I dont make a living out of the paysite, i dont even make a living off hostedcontent.com, well i dont take money from the company as of yet though it is still owed to me however it will soon become my living.
You may ask why do everything yourself? To be quite honest if you want anything done right you generally do it yourself. The company is too new to start delegating work to hired employees and we are still expanding our features which are offered to the customers.
Smut-video.com has the same feeds as hostedcontent but the difference is the feeds which can be only streamed from within canada are enabled & streamed off canadian soil, these feeds cost extra if you were to get them from Hosted Content. The other thinks like the DVD store upsell, no need to for the surfer to re-register with DVD Era if they're already a member of smut-video. One click rebills for members who cancelled the rebill and attempted to log in afterwards when their time has expired.
Basically, i wanted someone to run all aspects of the program, whether they pay for a design or do it themselfs i couldnt really care (as long as they can actually design) while i provide everything else to make this one of the biggest video programs on the net.
There are multiple reasons i dont attempt this stuff on my own and it isnt really because i cannot do it but things like the constant senseless attacks on me for one probably wont get webmasters flocking to the site. Overall im too busy to deal with this stuff on my own as i deal with it for other programs and stuff i got going.
Over-all, there are a lot more ways to make insane cash with the program because of its design but no need to go into details about that ;)
