I would have a hard time believing you will go much longer without a sale, plus more sales after that!
I can tell you have put alot of work into this! You are almost there, don't give up!
I have noticed a couple things that might help you:
Like the people who commented above, your site does seem to be missing a call to action, and a very easy way to take that action! What do you want the people that visit your site to do? Buy something, right? Well, I would make it alot easier to buy something, and then tell your visitors to do just that, buy something! When I went to your site, it took me quite awhile to even figure out how to buy something! I'm no genius, but if I had this problem when I was looking for a way to buy something, your visitors are probably not instinctively buying, like you want them to be doing!
Also, I am a huge fan of building a MAILING LIST! Again, one of the people that commented above suggested offering a free gift to people that sign up for your newsletter! I think that is the single BEST thing you could possibly do to improve sales! Based on my own experience, people very rarely buy something on their very first visit to a website! You have to allow them to get to know you, like you, and trust you, before they will buy from you! By far, the best way I know of to do that is to build your mailing list! Why would someone sign up to your mailing list? Sure, they get a free weekly newsletter, but I would suggest really giving them an incentive to sign up for your newsletter by giving the people that sign up a free gift! Then market to your mailing list! Include affiliate links in your newsletter, with a call to action! Send out broadcast emails, and tell them why they should click on the link in your email! How will it benefit them?
That, and make it much easier to buy from your website! Treat your visitors like 4th graders! Assume they don't know what to do! You have to tell them what to do, and why they should do it! How will it benefit them? Example: "Enter your name and email address here to get your free gift!" or "Click here for more details" etc. etc.
You have a very nice looking site! Very easy on the eyes! And you have come way to far to give up on it now! You are so close to your first sale that even I can taste it for you!
Keep us updated! When you do make your first sale (I have a feeling it won't be long), let us know!
I hope our advice helps you! But, in order for our advice to help you, you have to decide which advice (if any) you want to implement into your own business, and then actually DO IT!
Good luck!
Stay in touch!
