If she stops you should have an exit plan then too. Either state clearly that if she bails all the content and profits belong to you or give her a small amount to basically buy her percent. Just make sure everything is clear.

Here's your cut."
Will she want to know about all of your finances and expenses as well as see what sales and from where that you have had to make sure you are telling her the truth about the amount of money you have made on her site? It can get pretty complicated.
Why not give her a monthly income with bonuses when you hit certain membership marks.

Thanks for saying all this because it saves me the time! LOL Absolutely the best advice. But sometimes when you're starting out and need content you have to do % deals. But the problems you and others listed are real.
Also, if she wants a % and is willing to Tweet or Blog about her site, have her signup as an affiliate of her own site, explaining that now, instead of 50% or 25% (if it's an affiliate sale) now SHE will get the most money. Now she will get 75%. It's an incentive to get them involved. It works out to be fair all the way around, since the 25% you wold make off her sale is 'free money' to you (or the cost of hosting/transactions/support etc).
But keep all the rebills. LOL Kidding.
Good luck!
