Keep in mind that flying 5-6 hours per day means you're probably at the flight school for 10-12 hours because of pre/post briefings with students, preflights, etc. And, you likely can't fly every day of the month due to weather or maintenance issues.

If you are trying to build time as fast as possible, I highly recommend going to a flight school with a lot of international students. Schools that cater to international students probably have a lower hourly wage, but you'll end up making more because there are lots of readily available students for you--meaning that you don't have to go out and recruit your own students.

Another trick to increase your flight time per month is trying to get as many instrument students as possible and flying at night. You don't have to compete with other students/instructors for airplanes because nobody else wants to fly at night, the airspace is much less congested meaning that you can do nearly any approach you want, and in some cases, the weather is better at night.
