Video Marketing

Hi everyone,
I've been in business since May 2002. I produce, shoot and edit my own videos that I then put up for sale on my web site. For now my videos have been in the upskirt/panty fetish niche, but I want to (and will with my releases in 2004) branch out into the more broader market so that I can compete with DreamGirls and other softcore companies of the like. My question is this, I've been busting my ass since May 2002 and made just over $3,000 in 2002 and unfortunately less in 2003. I've talked to other video producers (even those in my own niche) and they make enough to do this full time ($40,000 a year). What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have some ideas as to the best way to market my videos to the public? I've tried Google Ad words, Overture, banner exchanges & links, TGPs, and newsgroups (bad idea) with no change in sales. This is frustrating to me because I've shot with 2 Gallery magazine centerfolds (from 2002), all my content is original and many customers have emailed me expressing how pleased they were with my videos. Also, many first time customers buy all the videos I have on my site with their very first visit! So, I know I have something good, I just have run out of ideas as how to get the word out to video buyers that I exist. Any and all suggestions to better marketing, especially from those that have marketed videos, would be welcome!
Thanks
