I got a very simple website without any link or something else. I created a self-signed certificate. (link to create self-signed certificate). After this I added it to my site in the IIS (link to add the self-signed certificate to IIS site). My Problem is now that my site is still not secure (local). Chrome, Firefox and IE are not accept my certificate. When I look if my certificate is valid: It's valid.

Can Anyone tell me why it's still not secure and how to fix it?

Self signed certificates are not trusted by default. You need to get the certificate from a trusted CA so that the users web browser trusts it. One recent example of a CA that issues free trusted certificates is Let's Encrypt.

I can see that you are using WordPress for your blog. Let's try a plugin really simple SSL. If you have any certificate install on your site it will detect and convert your pages in https. LetsEncrypt.org also is a way to obtain CA certificate.

You must need to install SSL certificate October 2017 onwards as per Google.

If you need further help read my blog to know that why we need SSL October onwards.

Hopefully, your issue will be resolved by a plugin.

Thank you
