Looking for some serious help:

Here is my brief story. I have created an ebook and website www.OverdraftFeesRefunded.com
a few months ago. Since then I have become unemployed. I am currently assisting my 85 yr old uncle who is recovering from a stroke. He does not have internet access at home and therefore I only get online an hour or two each day from the library. The book is not selling and I am running out of unemployment. Not sure what to do?

I think I need a savior......Any thoughts

    Rob,

    My recommendation would be to get a job with the flexibility that will still allow you to care for your uncle.

    As far as selling that eBook - I might use it as a list building tool - give it away for free and then use the list to promote debt reduction stuff which has plenty of high paying CPA offers on just about every major network.

      I have considered giving away the book. But I do not have much traffic to the site. So whats the point? I am willing to be very flexible in my approach and I am looking for just a little revenue to keep me going. Any ideas.......

    You need to change your angle dude.

    Every tried Pay Per Lead? Its much easier than selling your own products. Give it a shot, works for me

      Interesting idea, but I know nothing about it. Can you explain? I seem to be drowning in all kinds of people wanting to sell me the next best thing and no one willing to work with me. I want an income stream. Dont care if it is from the book or not

    OK - here goes ...

    Top Level Solution:

    1. You need targeted traffic
    2. You need a Sales Page that converts

    There are many solutions to the targeted traffic problem including PPC (though I would not advise a newbie to try it without proper research), article marketing, seo and indeed many other methods. There is a ton of advice on this forum about how to get targeted traffic for free.

    With regard to the conversions problem, you need a Sales Page that gets the desired action; which may or may not be a sale - it could simply be a sign-up. You could then do the real selling in an autoresponder sequence. Offering a quality gift in return for an email address is often method that allows access to this route.

    Either way - selling via the Sales Page or via the autoresponder sequence - requires you get better at copywriting. Again, there is a ton of material here that can help.

    So, you need to get some research done in these two areas. You have to keep tweaking and testing; measuring your results and realising that your results are always telling you something.

    At present your results are telling you that your approach is not working, but what is it that is not working - more specifically - is it traffic or conversions? Identify the issue and work on it.

    And "Never give up ... never ... never ... never ... never ... never!" - Winston Churchill.

    Good luck,

    Will

    Master copywriting. The copy on your page to describe your ebook doesn't grab me. You don't have my attention interest or desire ...

    Learn copywriting. It's a skill that will directly impact your revenues.

    Right now, I'll highly recommend that you take up a job.

    Don't risk your life on just internet income.

    Really, when you have a stable job, and when you can afford an Internet connection, go a bit more effort on Internet marketing then.
