1) You designed it yourself - the main thing you get wrong is your use of weird fonts and how you make them almost unreadable with the funny colours. Look at a real poster ad, see how the text pops. You need to work out how to do that, or pay a designer
2) There is no call to action
3) There is nothing attention grabbing or interesting, it's just lots of pictures of girls
Alternate ideas:
1) You holding up an empty wallet saying "I'm broke and need to feed the dog"
2) You lying on a sun bed in a hot country sipping a cool drink saying "You can be like me, buy my content and see what the good life tastes like"
3) Have a really old vintage computer picture and you there like Kent Brockman saying "Hi. I'm Paul Markham, you may remember me from such boards as GFY. Well now I'm selling it all. Selling the lot. Selling it cheap."
4) Use one of the apps that make a picture out of 1000s of little pictures. This idea is not as amusing, but certainly shows the depth of content you have.
And add in appropriate calls to action.
If you are going to spam your mailing list, obviously make the text machine readable and don't just send a jpeg, but you know that.
