Welcome to the business, and the forum.
I agree, that your first outing looks slightly better than average for new domainers, but that isn't saying much.
You would do well to listen a lot more than you talk for the time being, and learn everything you can from the experience of others.
I am sorry to say that there are no exceptions to the rule when it comes to having to pay your dues in domaining. Your first several outings at hand regging are doomed to fail, and very little of what you start out with will be relevant in the long view. It is also nearly impossible to see this reality objectively, as you are too close to the situation and have invested a lot into it emotionally.
Listen, observe, learn the lessons of your experience and evolve. Stick with it, but be smart and measured about it, and you'll be fine.
My advice would be to pick the single best one and start developing it. Build a business around it, and start creating value. Maybe that takes the form of a blog or a forum, a leadgen site or a resource page. But make something that helps people and start to monetize your investment now, instead of waiting for natural traffic that may never come.
I wish you the best of luck.
