IMO, you should be going for project work anyway. ProfitShare is usually completely lopsided if you are splitting profits 50/50. If you bring ALL the coding to the table, what does the other person bring?
I have been through several JV's where the other person can simply sit on his hands and do nothing for the entire time.
Even though ProfitShare WILL bring you more money. It is 10x the work and usually ends up with you in a fit of rage over the lack of work from your other partners.

Selling is a full time job in itself. Support, ideas, sales copies/banners, PR, affiliate management, media campaigns etc etc.. I'm not sure who you worked with buy if you work with good marketing guys you would be amazed.
I'm a full time marketing guy.. And trust me the coders i work with might be all awesome and stuff when it comes to there stuff but when it comes to design n writing sales copies and split testing banners and running media campaigns etc etc they dont even wanna hear what all i'm doing.
... I work almost 18 hours a day and none of the coders i've worked with have been able to keep up with that much work for more than 3-4months. I'm always on the lookout for exceptional techies.. coz i dont know shit about it.. but i'm kinda decent at telling what to sell and how to sell

But are you a copy writer? Are you a designer that makes the banners? My guess would be no. So these things, sure you are "overseeing" them, but you are simply outsourcing the work.
Support generally can't be done by the sales person as they don't know shite about the program. Atleast that is my experience. People don't contact you unless they are getting some serious issues with the app.
Maybe you are different and you pull your weight. But for the majority of cases, a function in an app may take months to code, and require zero technical support.
