Desire To Learn Critiques Welcome I Need Your Help

This is the second time I have done a WSO that is not doing well. I desire to learn what I can do to improve my WSOs. Are they not doing well because I price them too high? Do I Suk at copy? Are warriors not interested in what I am selling? Am I not getting the word out? Are there any other ingredients to a successful WSO that I am overlooking?

I have never been one to accept handouts so I am not going to quit and expect others to do for me by applying for welfare. Times are tough for everyone. 2009 has been pretty lousy for my family with my husband having two surgeries this year and my one daughter having to go through numerous neurological testings. Our finances have been hit bad with these medical crises so running a successful WSO is critical to our survival. I live in a very small village in Ohio and jobs are not exactly plentiful especially if you are not young, which I am not :rolleyes:.

Giving up is not an option just a week before Christmas. My youngest is expecting something under the tree and I know that, to many the ability to give presents to a daughter may not seem like a priority but for me I would hate to dissapoint her. I would love to make enough from this WSO to give her and my other daughter at least one present under the tree next Friday. It is a struggle just to keep our electricity on so there really is not a budget for extras. This is why I ran my current WSO. I know that many are in the same boat as I am financially.

It would be wonderful if creating a product and placing a WSO could be an answer to prayers. I know that other warriors are successful at running WSOs and some even make a good living through the WSO forum. I know that it IS possible to make good money with a WSO.

I have purchased products that are created to teach how to have a successful WSO and have followed what was written but still have had little success myself with these last two WSOs. I believe that some things like having a list, and having a well-known name are two ingredients that I lack. Is it possible that these ingredients are what hold me back?

Are there too many ingredients that well-known warriors have that keeps someone like me who is not as well-known from finding the success in the WSO forum that I desire?

Is it just me, or are other warriors struggling with finding success in the WSO forum?

Can someone please critique my current WSO (in my signature) and tell me how I can improve it so that I can turn it around in the next few days?

I would be so appreciative and open to all suggestions.

Thank you for reading my post. I wish every warrior to have a blessed and happy holiday season.

    Laura, I took a quick look...

    I don't think the problem is with your price. I think it may be a combination of some copy problems and some design problems.

    Starting from the end and working back...

    On your payment page, move the button up right under the highlighted area instead of burying it in its own little box at the bottom of the page.

    De-emphasize the rights statement and move it down with your price increase statement.

    Spend less time hammering on the fact that the report is 11 pages and has 3 pages of tips. Use that time/space to craft more emotional appeals - spending time with kids or friends (paint some scenes with words).

    Your headline and product title are boring, and you have a much more powerful alternative already. Which one turns you on more if you're looking for ways to spend time with others and maybe feeling guilty about working on the business instead?

     Stop cheating on your family with your business!
    Focus a lot less on the fact that the report is 11 pages with three pages of tips, and focus a lot more on what the user is going to gain by getting your report. I know I already said this once, but it's a biggie.

    How are you getting the word out?

    If it's only in your sig, we're back to the headline thing again.

    "Balance Your Work and Family WSO" just isn't all that exciting unless the reader is actively hunting for a solution to a recognized problem.

    You might try "Are you cheating on your family with your business?" to get the curiosity clicks.

    That should get you started thinking, anyway...

      Yes, I agree with the above. The copy didn't do it for me, and spotted a typo as well.

      Personally for me, the topic is not one I need to buy - and I would guess there are those who may be looking for solutions on time management but not sure if that is as alluring as making money.

      what I did see that was of interest was your mention of a writing business. THAT would be something to consider in the future. Tips for others to get their own writing business in order. Just my personal thoughts - and some research obviously should be done before running any WSO to see if there is a desire for the information from more than just a couple of people.
