Ask HN: How do I find a marketing person for equity?

[TTDaVeTT]

Over the past couple years, I have built an online educational tool that combines a dictionary with flashcards and uses games to help users learn. The site is called WordStash and is at http://wordstash.com. The feedback has been great and the site is growing steadily. I do not have the time to work on the marketing and promotion of the site and would like to divvy it out for equity. How should I go about finding a person for this?

Shoot me an email; I'd love to learn more about the site. I majored in marketing and am working on my own startup but depending on the time commitment you're looking for I may be able to help. I see you're up in Seattle; I'm actually in Portland, OR myself. Cheers!

This could help for a color gradient http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/

The site could do with a little UI improvement. Background-vs.-body contrast is rather harsh on the eyes.

[TTDaVeTT]

Yea, I can see how that could be a problem. Do you think I should just have a solid color background? Do you think the clouds are too busy?

[jimmyjim]

Yeah, I think a solid color or a soft-going gradient layout that contrasts well with the colors of the site's body would work well.
