How to partner with an Ecom business as a marketer?

[GoodluckChuck]

I've been consulting someone who has a budding Ecom business. He has many avenues to take and I believe they all have potential.

As a marketer, I can see 100 things I would do this month, but the owner is set on bootstrapping and can only afford a little at a time. I can see it dragging on for a long time on which another business will likely show up.

I asked them if a partnership would ever be considered in order to increase the speed and they said yes. Problem is, I've never structured a deal like that. I'm not over eager to rush into anything but I think it's worth exploring.

I hit Google but haven't been able to find anything. TFF search either.

Off the top of my head I'm thinking that I could join up for a % of additional sales I create through the website. This requires solid tracking which I'm setting up now, but it also requires transparency and trust as we are a few states away.

Before I talk more about it, I want to have a fair idea of how to structure it where everyone is happy and feels good about it. I'm sure these deals happen all the time and some of you guys might be able to share some advice or point me in the right direction.
