$300 A day business but no idea how to market it

Hi Folks. I am new here and I've spent the past couple of weeks just reading through all the insightful posts. The reason I am posting here is because I need help and I think you all are the right folks who can help me.

Two years ago, I created a balloon distribution business that was earning me upwards of $300 per day every day, but last November, I got into a terrible accident that has disabled me temporarily and I have not been able to do the work.

So I decided to write an 18 page report about my business and sell it on the Internet for a nominal price and also offered money back guarantee. I had someone setup a nice website that was linked to my paypal account and I placed ads on Google, Yahoo, and Facebook to attract customers. I spent $100 to advertise on each site and after my $300 was used up, I had received only 11 orders. Not only that but Google suspended my account for violating their terms of service.

Since then, I have tried various online marketing methods and sold over a 100 copies of my report but I feel like the amount of time I spend marketing the business simply does not justify the returns.

That's why I turn to you. For many people on this forum, marketing their skills and products online is a major part of how they earn their money so I am really hoping you all can shed some light.

Thanks -Samir
