Idea #2: Great idea, but many of the hurdles you have to jump over in order to immigrate are always served on a case-by-case basis, and are difficult to standardize.
For example, in most EU countries in order to get a work visa you have to display a reason why employer X should hire you over a citizen of their own country, i.e. what skill puts you over the rest of the populace who already pay taxes.
A counter-example is Cyprus, which will give you residency in 4-6 months if you buy property there. So, the only hurdle is $$$.
A more measured, focused version of this idea would be to start with a recruiter, a lawyer and a site: JobsInCountryX.com. As soon as that is moderately profitable, move on to country Y, Z, etc and cover the planet.
