be VERY careful of any partnerships with ANY program - they rarely work out well. why? because sites where a program owns 40 or 50% of the profits will never get the attention/resources of a site a program owns 100% of. If they just maintain your current sales you're making 40-50% of what you are currently - if they double your sales then you're even without the hassle of running your program. Odds against any program doubling your sales - very long.

if I were in your position I'd look for a webmaster with experience, connections and success in your niche and partner with him - take a look at your top affiliates for candidates.
