Hi Samir. Saw your site just now and I have a few comments from my side:

1. I have seen many popular book/product sales sites and usually it is a one page site which pitches the idea and shows through testimonials what can be done. You could use a similar format for your site.

2. The copy writing on your site needs some work. It's a sales pitch so it's gotta be convincing.

3. As @djb_hackernews pointed out in his comment, ebooks usually work out for bloggers or 'celebrities' who already have a following. Perhaps you could start a blog about your ideas [since you mentioned you have worked on many other ideas before]. This way you would slowly but steadily get some regular readers. Also this would help in future ebooks you would like to sell.

4. You have displayed a couple of testimonials on your site. Maybe you could have some of your customers who have actually implemented the business to post some photos/videos talking about how your ebook helped them. This way your testimonials become engaging.

And BTW, the site definitely needs an overhaul.

Thanks for the pointers.

1. The design of the site was actually done by a well wisher/professional web developer.

2. I definitely need to work on the copy.

3. Blogging is definitely an option I am considering. I am also looking into providing a private forum to people who have purchased my ebook.

4. I had not thought about adding photo/video testimonials but that definitely sounds like it would be helpful.

Thanks for your suggestions! -Samir
