is this a good idea / am i doing this right

Hey Warriors,

I've been online for a while and have done quite a few different things successfully and unsuccessfully. I was thinking of a way to get myself outta the picture and just make money.

The first idea that came to mind was use my active income from consulting, copywriting, and video work to invest in passive income streams. Now of course we all know there are a ton of ways to go about "passive income streams" but I wanted to do something that I thought was different. I wanted to do something I thought somebody smart would do.

So I went over to Flippa. I bought a website/business. It's a video business. Basically, people come to my site, look at whiteboard video demos and previous work, check pricing, and contact me for a quote.

The problem with that is that although the "work" is outsourced, I still have to "work" until I define a process on the front-end quote side for a VA to take over.

All this sounds good and it might end up working. But what I really want to do is simply buy a business on Flippa, run FB ads, and make money. Now of course, I don't know FB ads the way I should but I can learn that. It's easy. I've got a ton of courses I've never gone through

So here's what I wanna know... Does anybody have experience in brokering services and running FB ads to fuel it?

It might even be smart for me to get out of brokering services per se and buy a site that sells something like wordpress templates or something. That way, there's no "middleman"

Thoughts please...
