I have 7 days left to make $8800 with my book business

I've been working on my ebook for about a month and a half. I got approved on Amazon KDP and I've made around $500 there, people buying the paperback mainly and some buying the kindle version. I also have my own bridge website and a shared website with my friend that's like a bookstore with his and mine book and our separate landing pages. I get about 100 visitors on my bridge page, and about 50 60 visitors click through to the landing page and I've been getting around 2 sales a day. I tried Reddit marketing but the posts get taken down after a 3 4 hours if I get lucky and I'm being subtle and not pushy at all, I get 200 upvotes a post and still 1 2 sales. I'm in the manifestation niche and I've been waking up at 7 8 am and working till 11 12 pm and trying all sorts of methods and ways. I've ran out of ideas. I made myself a goal till the 1st of August to make $8800. Are there any ideas, methods, something I should try to get people on my website. In 4 days I got 202 sessions on my landing page, 8 orders, $143 in sales, my conversion rate is nearly 4%. my only issue is getting more people to my website

Your conversion rate is actually solid, 4% is nothing to complain about. The problem like you said is just top of funnel volume.

Reddit is fine but you're relying on individual posts getting saved by mods. Better to build your own presence... make an account, be active in manifestation subs for weeks, answer questions, then people click your profile and find your link in bio. Slower but way more durable than dropping posts that get nuked.

Honestly for manifestation niche I'd lean into short form video. TikTok and reels/shorts. That audience lives there. You don't even need to show your face, just aesthetic clips with text overlays about manifestation concepts pulled straight from your book, then funnel to bridge page. One video pops and you get thousands of visitors overnight instead of grinding reddit for 2 sales.

Also Pinterest is sleeper for this niche, quote pins and affirmation stuff spread quiet for months.

The 8800 by aug 1 goal is tight though with 4 days left if thats what you meant, don't burn yourself out chasing an arbitrary deadline. Build the traffic engine and the numbers follow.

Thank you I appreciate the reply!

You set a goal to make 8800, thats nice. What is the actual reality principle amount you can/will make? Go about offering more, and a better range, as well as market everything continuously better on socials. Whats stopping you from doing that?

Well there is a guy in my city, im from europe, making about 100k usd a month doing the same thing, however I don't know what he's doing or how he's doing it but I know for a fact he's in the same business as me so obviously there isn't a limit as to how much I can make or will make. But I think he's using a black hat method of some sort because he isn't marketing in the usual way of short form long form content, I tried to reverse engineer his traffic source and no profile, no channels can be found linking his book. So for over a month or so I have been trying to dig and research "the method", I understand there aren't shortcuts, I've been making money online since I was 15 and made over 200k but using a specific method in a specific business that doesn't work anymore, so I know the potential of bh methods, a single information can change everything. But I hit a block where I tried all sorts of methods and they still aren't that good. That guy from my city gets around 2300 visitors and in a night gets around 40 50 sales and I've seen his shopify dashboard, it's basically spikes of traffic, so either a Reddit post gone viral or multiple videos going viral or idk, but there is a big information gap that is sure

Have you looked into SEO? It takes longer, but evergreen content can be a much more reliable traffic source than relying on social platforms alone.

Analyzing your competitors makes perfect sense; you need to understand exactly what they are doing and identify what you can emulate. Get started and experiment with new content and formats, rather than sticking to just one type of post on Reddit.

First of all manifestation methods are mumbo jumbo and they don't WORK. The sales you're getting is because of your work (part time, and part time from people who are looking to manifest wealth without working actually). Therefore you're doing pretty good. What other niches are you specialized in? You could sell those as well as information products and diversify your income.

reddit is honestly a losing battle for self-promo. the mods hunt down marketers for sport over there, which is why your posts keep dying even with all those upvotes.
since you are in the manifestation niche, you should absolutely be focusing on tiktok and ig reels. that specific niche prints views over there because affirmations and aesthetic clips go incredibly viral with the algorithm right now.
