Im in the same boat, Gutterboy.
The only difference is I run paysites and was in the 6 figure range years ago. My problem is also with expanding to the next level. For me the big problem is not having enough time or help to expand my business. I tried hiring people to handle marketing and traffic so I could concentrate on member retention, updates, and resellers. That failed miserably with every person I hired. Lately I have been considering merging with a larger company and just letting them handle the marketing and billing on my sites so I can focus on expansion.
BTW,
I actually just helped someone who has a 200k uniques per day tgp change his site from AVS to CCBill. It was a total failure.. the only thing we can figure is that because all his trades ran AVS sites that his traffic was more comfortable with signing up at an AVS. We must have tried 5 different tours and layouts. He went from 70 signups per day to 1-3. When we put the AVS back online his signups came right back. So anyway.. figured that info might help ya if you do try the paysite thing.
