What most people said is absolutely right..there's no way to make judgements based on one paragraph of information. When you're in business school learning how to make judgements and recommendations on an unfamiliar business, you get 100+ pages of information in the case study, not a paragraph. You didn't even say whether the 2K is gross or net.

But a few things to think about:
1. Are you and your partner even compatible? A nose-to-the-grindstone partner and a sit-back-and-let-others do it partner...usually aren't long for a partnership together.
2. In this business, you're making 2K a month, and you have employees (plural)? But your partner doesn't want to work. You don't find that a prescription for disaster?
3. You're working 16 hours a day doing "SEO & marketing, content update, sponsor testing, small design work, thinking of new ideas, working with programmer" but you have employees (plural)? WTF are they doing?

In general, if you have a huge new idea that requires a large amount of start-up capital, or you have backers with deep pockets, then maybe having partners working on raising money and the "big picture," and employees (plural) doing the rest of the work, makes sense. If you're doing what the rest of us are doing, in one form or another, it might be a good idea to either have you and your partner build the business and add employees as your profit grows...or else have your resume ready.
