Hi Dwight,
Welcome to the forum and I hope you find the information here helpful.
As Linda already mentioned, you've received some excellent advice, both from Jon and Linda.
After 9 days and only 18 clicks, your expectations are a little high. My question to you is (and this is not meant to be facetious), have you actually read any of the products you're looking to promote? If you have, write an honest review of the products.
Moving along, my observations will be broken up into three parts: design, page optimization, and sales copy.
Design
The overall design of the site - while it looks nice -may be adversely affecting your conversion rates.
The header image is not seamlessly tiled. Either use a header image that tiles well or use a single image as the header background.
The colors are harsh and distracting - especially for a sales letter. You may want to tone down the background color to something a bit more neutral and that allows the visitor to focus on the content.
The font is incredibly tiny (and I love tiny fonts). While this may cause some people to focus more on the content and read it, it's still incredibly difficult to read on screen. Possibly switching to a larger serif font (like Georgia or Times New Roman) with plenty of white space and reducing the font weight will do some good.
Use color carefully. The colors you choose for your headings, your content, your background, etc. all have an impact on the end visitor. You want to make sure they all work well together to achieve a common goal.
Page Optimization
While AdWords is good for a more experienced marketer (I wholeheartedly agree with Linda that you should probably hold off on that until you have a better understanding), you also want to make sure you're optimizing for the search engines too. Two birds, one stone philosophy.
In that vein, change your title from Page 1 to something more on point with your keywords. Also, be mindful of your headings - make sure to actually use them (i.e. h1, h2, h3, etc.) - and include your keywords where appropriate within them.
Taking a look under the hood, I see you're using a lot of unnecessary code for the design. Consider transitioning the page into HTML/CSS and removing the unnecessary code for the search engine spiders to wade through. Remove unnecessary scripts and add a meta description that is catchy - something that will make someone want to click if it comes up in the search engines.
The sales letter
Reading through the sales letter, the focus appears to be on you and what you want to sell; switch that focus to your readers. What problems will you be fixing for them and how?
Grammar is important, though it may not appear that way. If people spot a lot of grammatical/spelling errors, they are less inclined to trust what you're saying or consider you an authority. It appears you're too close to the sales letter so you should probably have someone else have a look over it for you and edit it for clarity/errors.
Final thoughts
After saying all of that, I'd recommend finding another niche, at least for the time being.
Jon is spot on - why should anyone listen to you? Especially when it comes to internet marketing/work from home products, there are a sea of gurus out there who have established credibility. That will be what sets you apart.
Possibly backing up and starting with a smaller niche, possibly one that you enjoy. Do you have any hobbies or interests? Have you considered monetizing those?
Hope that helps out,
~ Teli
