How Much Ownership Would YOU Expect?
I've heard of people going to like elance or something and paying someone $100 to write a program and then the owner sells them from there and makes their millions and never shares a dime with the programmer after the initial payment. But, I'd like to keep my team more involved by giving them a commission of the sale. And, I'd want them to continue to enhance the product feature wise and also keep assuring the most recent version is compatible with the recent wordpress version.
Still, as the company head, I'd like to formally own the product or at least own a majority percentage of it in case my team members get hit by a bus or something. And, if there's any liability of course, it would be my company that would backup the product to protect the programmer. So, that's worth a higher percentage to handle all that part.
The last thing to consider before my big question is that neither of these two guys would ever be able to go out and sell these on their own. Just not sales like people. So, it's either me as an outlet for them to make some dough with these or nothin'.
With all that in mind, what kind of comp plan/commissions per sale and ownership would YOU expect if you were the programmer?
Thanks in advance.
