Am I doing SOmething Wrong?

I started my site in January and recently been getting serious about generating income. Last Month i had over 8,000 people & just in the last two weeks i have been averaging a little over 1,000 unique visitors a day. So far i have not been able to make a sale but i have make about 100 from affililates and advertisers.
Can anyone let me know if i am doing something wrong or something i could improve upon anything. bigmoneyparttime .com thanks for any help

I visited your site. Here are my observations:
1. Your site was kind of confusing and overwhelming. There are so many pictures, banners, and highlighted text. My eyes weren't sure where to go. This is a very bad but also very common problem I see at websites. It is natural for the eyes to automatically focus on what they perceive to be the main area of the site. I couldn't find that.
2. It took me a little while to figure what exactly your site was. I wasn't sure if you were offering free resources for entrepreneurs, offering products or just offering third party services.
3. I don't like the layout of the site. In particular, I don't like the large white border on the right side.
4. You don't offer content that entices visitors to click your ads. What if you regularly published articles about entrepreneurship or working at home that inspired readers to click your ads?
5. I think you offer too many affiliates. If you offer every affiliate program out there related to your site you will not do as well as offering 2 or 3 very high quality affiliates.

Just my take...I am very new to alot of the ideas and website people have started, especially people on this board. To me your site seems to "gimmicky". Just comes across as a 3 AM promo.

I like the idea of the material being online/downloaded, instead of hardcopies sent out/mailed.

Too much stuff all over the website. Its crowded. Use the philosophy that less is more. Have a basic welcome page, with the logo, maybe a short welcome or description and a featured product or two. Then keep everything else in the navigation bars. I think that would make the layout better.

Hello there, just visited you site and I have some suggestions and comments about your site. First, I would suggest linking your header with your site name on it to your homepage. The content is quite narrow, hope you increase the width. And I would agree with above comments about the site is crowded. Maybe organize your product and make it simple as it looks so it's easy for the visitors to browse. Looking forward to see your final output.

I like the changes you made to the header. Also, I like that you cleaned up the text a little. Is it possible to eliminate that white border on the right?

im not too sure on how to eliminate the white border on the right. My site is suppose to be auto center, so i should have the border on the left too. Do you mean i should fill the right side up with content or something else?

A couple of observations:
1. The animation in the header is a little distracting, perhaps just remove the moving flashes.
2. The striped grey background makes it a little hard to read the text.
3. Try to reduce the amount of text on your site. People switch off when overwhelmed by too much text.
4.The E disappears from 'homepage' when you rollover the button.

The background could be a solid color and the link back to your homepage is hard to find. Your products are listed nicely. Im not a fan of not being able to read the text when I scroll over it. Good job so far.

The website's design seems fine, apart from some grammar and spelling errors.

Just one thing - I took a look at
