A lil help now, and a lot more later

We are working with a script we bought, but the developer has stopped supporting it. We are trying to launch a product offering around it, but are needing a few tweaks first. We have some big ideas for improving the script later, probably requiring a ground up rebuild. Looking for someone who might do a little work now on the cheap, in hopes that we can build a relationship with someone who can also help us a little later with the heavy lifting. Some of the knowledge required would be php, mysql, jwplayer, zend, jquery. Probably only need a few hours work right now from someone who knows what they are doing. Prefer to work via Skype.

Just a heads up that the "do some work now for cheap & we'll send more your way later" is a huge red flag for most web developers and designers. Offers like this almost certainly don't work out the way they're promised. While I don't know you and can't speak to the likelihood of it happening with you, I can say you're almost certainly not going to get any experienced developers responding to this.

I appreciate your comment pickle, to be honest I don't really need a heavily experienced developer for this first part. We have proof of concept now we just need to "fix" a couple issues to roll it out and then when it starts generating revenue, roll that back into development, but I am aware of how this sounds. Not sure of a better way to put it though :-), it is what it is.
