I would never response or search a partner like this, affiliate programs are long term. You need to have a decent business plan, set up in order to start it. You seem to develop a little program already which is almost ready for promotion, then last minute you switch and choose to work with an 'unknown' partner, you could do it on your own and hire some people to help you.
I have done affiliate programs, it did work out for almost a year. But in order to run and manage a ''successful'' program you need to focus on the long term, I end up learning the paysite game and learned a lot from my mistakes.
That's why I tell you, try to not involve partners in your affilaite program. It's a long term project which if it goes well will run for the next 10 years, think twice before you take a partner.
That's just my two cents Ribiko.
Goodluck
