Need help customizing marketing campaign to fit my skillset.

HI everyone,

I have been a member here for quite a while but I haven't participated. I tried some IM in 2010 with Bum Marketing and quit after a few months due to my job. I never made any real money while attempting IM with the Bum Marketing strategy. At the time, I was using clickbank to make money through affiliate marketing. I wrote a few articles and set up a few blogs and left them alone. I did not put much effort into IM during that time. Now, I would like to make a serious effort to figure this thing out. By the way, is clickbank still worth using? Is it better to use Amazon or another marketing affiliate?

My skills: I have great writing skills, above average IT knowledge, and well versed in finance and numbers.

Is blogging for money still a good option? Has article writing changed that much in the last 2 years? Are facebook ads still worth it? What do you consider the best options for my marketing campaign, given the brief description of my skills?

None of the IM methods have to be free. However, I would like to keep my costs low. I'm on a bit of a shoestring budget.

Right now, I feel as if writing articles and blogging are my best option, but I still want to know what everyone thinks about blogging now. I have considered offering writing services, as well. Also, I have been thinking about flipping websites.

Feel free to ask any questions or point me any direction that can be of help.

Thanks,

CJ
