Averaging over $250/day? Need a quick opinion from you.

So I'm up late right now, doing the quarterly re-eval of my direction in life... and I need some advice... (thank you in advance!)

While I'm thankful for what article-writing has made possible for me, I feel a need to migrate from internet marketing services to more of a focus on proper IM.

In short, I think I'm ready to rock and roll.

Not looking to 'get rich while sleeping' or anything -- I know that any profitable business engine takes a ton of work to set up, and I'm ready for that.

But I need to ramp things up, to the tune of USD $250/day.

My current IM state of affairs: I'm down to $3/day (Clickbank, CJ and Adsense.)

I've got two plans of action I'm considering:

-attack Clickbank like a screaming banshee on fire wearing roller skates, or

-pounce on Flippa.com, building and flipping as many keyword-rich Wordpress sites as I can, every 30 days.

I have the basic skill sets for both...

So, HERE'S MY QUESTION:

Assuming that I'm a quick study and very dilligent, which of the two marketplaces does the current internet marketing landscape seem to favor?

Not looking for hard facts, just your own top-of-the-head opinion on the shortest (current) distance between $3 and $250:

a) affiliate marketing, or
b) site-flipping.

But remember: please, respond only if you are an IM'er averaging at least $250/day. Practitioners only on this one.

    I make 250$ per day, but for me its more complicated because i work with portuguese products in Brazil and the dolar was 1,70R$ and here dont has products, so we need to create, i would love has 30 products to offer for my list.

    the most easy path to you its " attack Clickbank like a screaming banshee on fire wearing roller skates "

    im thinking and seeking for Brazilians IM to create one Clickbank here.

    Flipping websites to me is too much hard work.

    Once my sites are in place, they continue to earn, without my involvement.

    I dont average $250 a day, but I would see 4 days of the week over this typically.

      Affiliate marketing as an option can certainly generate some great income. the only problem with this is that you have to keep struggling and fighting to keep generating those 'one off' sales each and every month/day to maintain that level of income. This is why most 'affiliate marketers' build a list, so that they factor in their upsells, cross-sells at the time of opting in, and then once they have the visitors name and email address, they can keep sending them 'related' affiliate offers, and also build and foster the relationship with the list. This results in a far more controllable level of income.

      Flippa, and the like offers great one off sales for your sites that you manage to flip. I think if you can manage both, you'll create both regular daily income that is within your control (once your list is of a reasonable quality and size)
      as well as the occasional good site sale on flippa. Personally, I also like the site rental model, which helps create that regular passive income. So if you're good at creating sites, you should perhaps ponder that as an option, particularly if you have the skill to create wordpress blog sites, as there are still a lot of businesses out there that dont have websites, and are crying out for new business leads.

      Start out with clickbank but make sure you are capturing email addresses. Many people don't buy on their first visit, so you need to be able to contact them. Think about offering a free report related to the product you are promoting. After a while, if you can generate some good traffic, you should consider creating your own product to replace with the Clickbank one you have.
