OK, I guess I'll spill my guts right here.
It just so happens that I make around $40 a day with my clickbank product that I've just created. I just finished it two weeks ago and I've been selling at least one a day of my $30 ebook for the past two weeks. Here's how I did it:
I created an ebook about starting a kettle corn business. It just so happens that I actually HAVE started a kettle corn business and I've been doing it for the past few years. Here's the website:

The sales page of my ebook is here:

http://www.wickeddelicious.com/kettle_corn_business.php
My niche is kettle corn. (Good luck to anyone stealing my niche, I OWN it.) I created the website a couple of years ago and my aim was to sell kettle corn online. I also created a blog about the business a few years ago and have slowly been posting video and stories about my business. I'm now #3 on Google if you do a search for "kettle corn". My only competition is wikipedia at this point.
I got there by reading BHW and mastering SEO. Took me YEARS of submitting to directories, writing articles and whoring for links. I got there. There was no easy way.
I'm now selling my ebook on purely organic traffic at this point. Once I scrape some more money together, I'll be pushing it via adwords.
Oh yea, do a search for "kettle corn business" on Google. I'm in the middle of the first page, but take a look at the second and third pages. I used Howie's techniques (Conversation Domination seminars) to flood the results there. Again, I just started my campaign 2 weeks ago for the keyword "kettle corn business". Read Howie's stuff. It's here and it's free.
I also make about $2-$3 a day with adsense on approx 100 visits a day. No big returns but my click through rate is somewhere around 10%. Why?
I've established myself as an authority on kettle corn. My site is highly targeted to KETTLE CORN. Google now thinks that my site is an authority site on this subject. I knew people were interested in this because they kept on emailing me with annoying questions. Any of the SEO experts around here will know that this all fits the formula.
In summary: know what the hell your writing about, establish yourself as an authority and do the homework/promotion. Anyone who reads BHW should think this is all boring cause it's been hammered on before ad nauseum.
I thought this comment was pretty funny:
I took action. I wrote the ebook, I made my page, but I can't get traffic.
1 month of work, about 150$ spent and still no sale
Take a guess why.
