Looking for partners

    Howdy,

    I am looking for partners or individuals who require web related work completed. In return I would like to share a % of the revenue.

    I am not really looking for established companies or large networks, being involved in a new or recent project is much more appealing. On offer is as little or as much as you feel you need.

    If you need a huge amount of help and advice, coding from the ground up, SEO etc etc then I am happy to be involved on a very personal level. Equally if you just need a secure imagehosting app writing or some rss parsing work etc - and then want leaving alone then I can do that too.

    Please see below for a realistic view of what I am looking for, and what I can offer.

    About Me
    • Adult (just the right side of 30).
    • 5-6 yrs experience with PHP, SQL (mySQL and MSSQL), JS, HTML, CSS.*
    • 3-4 yrs SEO experience.*
    • Local and remote Windows OS and Linux OS servers available for test purposes. (Always happy to use my own servers as test beds for new apps).
    • UK Based. Native British (English primary (and only) language).
    • Available across most timezones.
    • IRC/ICQ/AIM/MSN/Gtalk/Yahoo/Skype/TS/Vent connected.
    • Not looking to get ripped off, but not wanting $45 an hour either - willing to invest time and effort in the right projects for a long term revenue share.
    • Looking to diversify my income.
    *I have coded only a small number of applications designed for large server loads (>=1000 concurrent users). Many apps for smaller projects (<=100 Users)
    *Some of my skills may be a little rusty, but am brushing up on them again now.


    About You
    • Ideally a small group or an indivdual.
    • Low budget with unique or inspired ideas.
    • Have direction and vision - A must even if you are unsure how to execute.
    • Friendly, approchable, reliable and understandable. (I can only speak/write in English)
    • Adult ~18 + (the person, not the idea or content (though I am not anti-adult site, all money is created equal)
    • A sense of urgency and the desire to succeed.
    • You don't expect me to be an underpaid turnkey app writer, doing 99% of the work for a very low % of revenue.
    • You are NOT looking to create a product that involves the resale of my work. For people who are interested but are worried by this point please contact me for further discussion.



    Interested?

    If you are interested then drop me a PM and reply here - free bump never harmed anyone! I am happy to chat on IRC, an IM program or via voice so please include contact info for the IM / Voice app of your choice.


    Afternote: I am not looking at investing a single penny in any potential deal. I am offering my time and experience in return for revenue sharing only. If you are totally broke and have an amazing idea then I am really sorry, you will need the funds to at least grab a domain name and some hosting.

    Afternote II: I am not looking to write my own version of facebook or make a custom social networking site. I am looking for projects that have realistic timelines for a single developer.

    PM on its way, and I have used Joomla in the past.

    For general info I have used most mainstream CMS and web publishing packages available. I am confident in modding or customising any/all of these - certainly nothing a few coffee's, google and notepad++ can't deal with anyhow. :eek:

    Hey Mike,

    Great intro - do you have any Ajax experience?

    I too am based in the UK and have been working on the site in my sig for about two years. I believe that I've reached the limit of my coding skills but would like to make the site a little slicker so I'm interested in bringing in someone who would like to get involved.

    Take a look at my site and let me know if you're interested.

    Cheers, p.

    Feel free to PM me IM information and we can chat, and I can provide you with examples.

    softsubstation_ltd - I don't really appreciate the Spam in the thread. Can a mod please remove his posts (ideally them both) as he obviously did not read or understand the OP.

    However softsubstation_ltd if you want to hire me to proof your ads and content and put into fluent English then I offer reasonable rates.
