Why would a coder need you? In almost every situation where someone proposed a partnership I almost always had to ask what I needed them for.

I get the occassional offer like this too, and turn them down for the same reason. Partnerships rarely work out when one person is a partner and the other is a dependant. You need to offer something that the coder can't do himself. Anyone can foot a $200/mo server bill or buy/make a template.
Only way i'd partner with someone on something is if they had a huge traffic network of thier own, or a history of money making projects. However, this works both ways. Someone with a huge traffic network or history of making good money wouldn't need me as a partner, because he could just hire me to do the work instead and keep all the profit, and if they DID want to partner I would think they don't 100% believe in the project because they aren't willing to stake the starting capital (development costs).
