Short answer: If I had a nickel for every time I've heard that.. Etc..etc.
Long answer: But.. There are probably a few sites we've passed on that we shouldn't have, due to the fact that they are now making quite a bit, from what we're told. Suggestion: Assume you're not going to get anything out of it.. and if you have the time to spare, go for it. If you don't have the time, don't bother.

Anyone? | | | Is anyone here being paid for their development work with a | percentage of the gross from the site they're working on? | | | I have a client who's telling me with convincing assurance | that his site Is going to make a mint, and I'd be much | better off taking 20% of the gross | revenue than charging a fee for service based on my hourly | rate. I can | see every transaction going through the site, so I know I'll | be able to verify how much I'm owed. In fact I can probably | have it pay me direct to my account from the credit card transactions. | | | He's probably right, he's probably going to do quite well | with his site .. | he has orders backing up already before the site's even | started, but all my instincts are telling me to say "no | thanks I'll take my chances with a fee for service". | | | I know it's up to me to decide which way I'll be better off, | but I was wondering if anyone else has made this sort of | arrangement and how it's worked out. | | | Cheers, | Mike Kear | Windsor, NSW, Australia | AFP WebWorks | | | | ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
