I am currently operating an independent direct-to-consumer product website: Vapeaway. Website: https://vapeaway.net I am looking for a long-term digital marketing partner. I will be responsible for the product, website build and maintenance, page updates, supply chain, and basic operations. The partner will mainly be responsible for online customer acquisition and brand growth, including but not limited to traffic acquisition, paid ads, social media, content marketing, influencer partnerships, SEO, and conversion optimization. Collaboration Model The initial stage will be a marketing partner model: The partner contributes marketing-related work and execution only; The partner does not need to cover promotional expenses at the initial stage; The arrangement does not include company equity, brand assets, website assets, or product ownership; Compensation is based on a share of the project's net profit. Profit-Sharing Structure Profit sharing is calculated based on the project's net profit in each settlement period: For the portion of net profit up to USD 30,000, the partner receives a 20% net profit share; For the portion of net profit above USD 30,000, the partner receives a 30% net profit share. Example: if the project's net profit for a settlement period is USD 50,000, the partner's share is: 30,000 x 20% + 20,000 x 30% = USD 12,000. Potential Upgrade Path If the collaboration goes well and both sides recognize each other's capability and commitment, the partner may later upgrade to a virtual partner model. In that stage, the partner would share promotional expenses based on an agreed ratio and receive a corresponding share of the project's net profit. The virtual partner profit share will generally range from 40% to 50%, with a maximum of 50%. The specific expense-sharing ratio, profit-sharing ratio, settlement cycle, and operating process will be confirmed separately in writing by both parties. Stage Partner Input Profit Share Marketing Partner Marketing execution only; no promotional expense contribution at the initial stage 20% on net profit up to USD 30,000; 30% on the portion above USD 30,000 Virtual Partner Marketing execution plus agreed promotional expense contribution Generally 40%-50%, with a maximum of 50% Ideal Background Experience in DTC brands, independent e-commerce websites, consumer products, or online commerce; Hands-on knowledge of at least one acquisition channel, such as Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok, SEO, influencer marketing, affiliate marketing, or content marketing; Ability to create and execute marketing plans independently; Strong focus on conversion rate, customer acquisition cost, ROI, and user growth; Interest in long-term, result-oriented collaboration rather than short-term freelance work. Who This Is For This is not a traditional outsourced role or a fixed-salary position. It is better suited for someone with practical marketing experience who is willing to exchange capability and execution for long-term upside in an early-stage independent e-commerce project.
