How to find a business partner when you're broke

A while ago I've started my business as a side hustle doing contract jobs and freelancing while in highschool. I've been solo and doing decent but I hated the level of work (hours) I had to put in would scale with how much money I would make ( plus there's a limit on how much hours I can work ).

This is when I decided to go into SaaS and started to work on a project Artifacts Pro https://artifactspro-join-beta.herokuapp.com which is a revision control software for documents.

I've been putting in the work to brand and market my business but it has been difficult because I'm technical oriented. So I'm looking for a business partner for the long run with skills in marketing and branding. But I don't have enough money to do so : (, I'm also in my last year in high school so time management would also be a consideration with this person.

Sorry for the stretch but basically I'm asking how can I find a business partner with the skills I need, how to compensate them with equity etc, and should I look to friends or family, etc.

    To be honest, I have met few to no people here on IH who would have demanded real money for their skills. Rather, it's about working together on exciting projects. Try to convince them of your project rather than offer them money. Look at it in the long run :)
