What you're offering is a technical assistant role, involving basic WordPress updates and scraping contact data. That kind of work is relatively simple and task-based. If you're calling someone a “partner,” then you should be prepared to offer a share of ownership, decision-making power, and a fair portion of the revenue. Real partners expect and deserve that level of involvement and compensation.

If you're just looking for someone to do grunt work while you retain full control, it’s better to hire a freelancer or contractor rather than use the word “partner.” It sets the wrong expectation.

Wishing you luck with the project regardless.
