Personally, I'd say that #3 gives you the best option to open up a new lifestyle for yourself. $3k profit is nice, but $30k would allow you to travel the globe while still being able to work on the website when you needed to - you and your partner both, likely. Work from the south of Spain or France, then head over to Hong Kong for a visit. Just take your laptop.

The other options leave you static in lifestyle - or at best, without personal growth.

Of course, #3 is likely the most risky as well, because you'd need to find an honest and reliable partner that complements what you put into the business well.

I've done (and still do) PM work, so I know what you mean by needing such skills to direct one's vision.

Best of luck - take advantage of your website creation! Use it to build up an envious lifestyle! ;)
