Honestly the only thing I get out of this post is that to me it seems like his superstar copywriter is being ripped off.

Clearly I'm not cut out for entrepreneurial side hustle!

Dude could have just as easily (probably far more likely) have paid his writer for 6-8 months and ended up with a dud site. Writer is free to take that risk as well if he so chooses. Instead he's taking the less risky fixed payment.

That is a good point, and at the end of his post he did say that he paid the writer a bunch upfront at the start as well.

He says that the copywriter writes 1 or 2 articles every week. He gets paid an average of 100$ per article. That's' not bad if you consider that the writer, for sure, is working for other people as well.

You have no proof of that… For all we know this might be the writer only source of income

Sure, we have no proof, but that is obviously the type of job where you work for multiple clients.

Well if he's getting paid $600/month he is homeless or living with parents, we can know that.

> we can know that

No we can't - he might be in a country where $600/month is a good wage.
