You are paying him $2 a month for whatever product he has created so far. You and I both know that payment only started about 20 days ago... before that it was completely free.
My recommendation is simply that you offer him more... $85/hr is what my mechanic charges to fix my Tahoe. I figure he's worth at least that.
If you are paying your mechanic 85$ / hr you are being screwed big time... just because you are a sucker doesn't mean others should also pay up. I suggest you keep all your financial advice to yourself on this thread, as it's extremely bad. Otherwise thanks for your genuine efforts to help.
