How much do you Make from WSO?

There's no simple answer to how much people make from a WSO, it depends on too many factors for there to a one-size-fits-all response.

I've had over a $1,000 from them and I've had nothing as well. And that was from very similar offers!

What exactly do you mean? Creating a WSO or buying a WSO?

To offer one, you mean, I think? Yes; you do need to join the War-Room first.

Also, bear in mind that the idea (in fact the "requirement") of a WSO is that it's intended to be an additional outlet for something you're already selling somewhere else at a higher price. If you'll excuse the observation, looking at "doing a WSO" as a way to make some money may be looking at it slightly back-to-front: the idea isn't to say to oneself "This is a way to make money: what can I sell here?". It's more for vendors already selling successfully to offer fellow-Warriors a discount.

Hi there simplybeastz,

Let's keep it simple. Let's talk about costs and profits.

WSO Costs

War Room Member = $37 (lifetime, you have to be a War Room member to be able to post WSOs)

1 WSO = $40

1 WarriorPlus WSO Pro license (buy button) = $19 for a single WSO listing or 1 cent at http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...anagement.html (dang, I just saw it while helping you write this information). You can use the normal PayPal button but I think you're missing out a lot if you don't use it. Affiliates will promote for you too, giving you extra sales.

Note: Your WSO thread will NOT go to number 1 simply because someone posts something in your thread. So how does your WSO thread go back up to number 1, page 1? You bump it. Aka paying another $40. Each time you bump it, you pay $40. Go figure.

WSO Profits

If you play your cards (which depends on many things; too many to list here) right, you can earn more than $40 or hundreds of dollars a day.

I've personally seen WSOs that sell so quickly within 2 hours, that the WSO thread owner made $500 instantly. But that's with email marketing and having a nice list.

I guess how profitable it gets depends on your actual offer itself. Do not sell mediocre stuff. Make it the best you can. After all, it's your very own system to help other Warriors earn money. If it's an offer that truly helps people and enticing (your marketing strategies, copywriting, reviews from people, etc.), then all the better.

Hope this helps man.

Please explain what is WSO?

I've made zero all the way to 15,000 on just the wso.

I've had one WSO I partnered with ended up doing over 100,000 bucks (outside the warrior forum, started as a 5 grand WSO)

EDIT: BTW - this isn't bragging. I did what anyone can do. Just don't limit yourself to the WSO forum. Be sure to branch out, find affiliates, promote, etc.

I also know some guys who are making thousands by creating WSO.However how much you can make here mainly depends on which type of WSO you are offering and whether it has a wide range of customers or not.

I have made hundreds but there are lots of costs to bump and promote and what not.

Great info here and I had toyed with the idea to release one. The only thing that kept me from doing it was thinking that most of the people weren't making any money with WSO.

The reason I thought this was because I was assuming everyone that bought the WSO's would comment. Probably because thats what I always do. And alot of the WSO's only have 5-20 comments. So I assumed 5-20 sales at $17-$50 is not very much for all the work involved. Now I realize that alot dont comment after buying.

I think I might release my first WSO on my 1,000 post which will be coming up soon.

It is the same as everything IM related... you more likely get more back the more you put in.

Of course the clever thing is... the initial sales are more about positioning than the product itself... if you appeal specifically to a hungry market, you'll make plenty.

Of course (again), if you're product is excellent, it will spread like wildfire and earn you a ton(ne?).

Having said that, you're product could be incredible... but if the market isn't really hungry for it, then you aren't going to sell. Be aware of the competition and the trends.

If you have the best product ever relating to.... alligator wrestling, but there have only just recently in the past couple of months been another 10 products on alligator wrestling... the chances are, no one cares about the 11th.

Unless you're one hell of a copy writer

As a decent average, I've heard if you can sell 50-100 then that's pretty good going... sell these for $27 a pop you've got yourself $1,350 - $2,700 revenue (not profit).

Of course there are options beyond that but I really don't want to swamp you

I haven't tried making money with Warrior Special Offers, but my brother has. He was disappointed, but I don't think he went at it right. You have to give it a fair shot and reinvest.

i didn't get what is WSO? can anybody explain me plz???

From warriors I know here, you can make money buying good ones and selling good ones as well. Despite it's flaws, the WSO forum is a valuable resource to many online marketers.

Im too scare to hear about WSO...

It needs alot of money to invest.. You must plan the strategies nicely..

Otherwise u'll lost $40+$37+19

So sad...

You can make nothing or thousands. Depends on the WSO. The WSO must be a unique product that you create yourself. If you have a great product and give a lot of value to your customers, you can make a lot of money. If it's a crappy product, you'll end up losing money.

Some great products may also lose. Depends on whether or not you are providing the market with what it wants. So think it out carefully before jumping in.

How much you make will depend on the quality of your WSO and if it actually works for other people or not.

If you put together an average WSO that is just some basic/general information you pulled together from other sources then you will probably not make much money at all from it.

If you make a decent quality information WSO that people like and has some unique factors then you will probably make a few hundred dollars out of it.

If you have a WSO that is of a high quality and also quite unique then you will probably sell a couple of thousand dollars worth.

If you have a WSO that is like a business in a box and provides a step by step blueprint then you have the potential to have a 5 figure WSO (over $10,000).

The ultimate key is to have a WSO that works and not something that "looks like it will work". If you have other warriors posting actual results of them making money with your method then your sales will increase dramatically since there is more proof that it works. That is why it is important to provide the best support for your buyers and to help them make money with your WSO.

In my opinion, don't release a WSO unless you have personally tried what you are teaching and have made money from implementing it yourself.

I have released 3 WSOs over the last about 6 months and they have helped me grow a great subscriber list (which is the most important part) and has also made me 6 figures. The thing they all have in common is social proof (proof that it works from other Warriors who have purchased and tried the WSO).

If you have a good product to sell (one that works) then you should not be worried about trying to sell it as a WSO as you are guaranteed to succeed. If your WSO works then it is a win-win situation. You win as you are being paid for sharing the information and helping others and your buyers win as they can actually make money from what you are teaching them

Great post gotti... I do appreciate that.. How did u manage to sold in 3 wso in 6 months? What product did u sell?

Cheers

Man I love Warriorforum because I keep learning. Thanks for the thread.
I was thinking about doing a WSO and now I know a bit about what it takes.

Currently, I make between $2k and $8k from every WSO that I run.

A major part of that is affiliate promotions, which means I need the WSO thread AND something with an affiliate program.

I personally prefer WSO Pro, which is $19 a pop over at WarriorPlus.com - register your account there with the SAME username you use here, but a DIFFERENT password.

Another option is DigiResults.com which many other people also like, and of course you can buy a copy of RAP from Sid Hale or DLGuard from Sam Stephens (both well-respected Warriors who do great work).

It's worth noting that the first WSO that I ever ran made under $1k the first month. You're playing pinball. If you get a high score, you get to play again. And every time you play, you get a little better at playing.

If you have your own product, you can sell it as a Warrior Special Offer - a WSO.
Certain conditions have to be reached. These are the most important:
1: It has to be your own product. You cannot use something that another person has produced, unless you've bought complete rights for it, e.g. if somebody created a piece of software for you.
2: You have to pay a fee to be allowed to make a post in the WSO area. At this point, this fee is $40.
3: Your WSO is supposed to be a "special offer". That means that if you normally sell your product for $27, or you plan to do so, you have to make it a better deal for warriors. Either you can sell it cheaper, or you can give them more for their money.

"WSO Strategies EXPOSED!"

That should be the title of a WSO on this subject

There are people at different level of experience who want to run WSOs. That's because the WSO forum has a unique demographic - Internet marketers and online business owners who are READY TO BUY.

* There are folks just getting started, who want to test the waters with their product or service by running a WSO.

* There are more experienced people who are introducing their product to the market via a WSO, for early feedback, testimonials, reviews, and suggestions for improvement (a beta-test, maybe).

* There are some experienced marketers who use it for 'zero cost lead generation' or as the seed for business building. On several occasions, the forum owner has mentioned how a WSO helped launch a five- or six-figure business.

So the answer to your specific question is that a WSO can make as much as you want it to make - if you do the right things at the right time.

Some downsides:

* WSOs are very popular. Some of my listings scrolled off page #1 within 4 hours - and dropped off page #2 in another 8 hours. That's crazy!

* Each bump costs $40 - and you'll very likely need 2 or 3 bumps to get maximum exposure for your offer, as Warriors visit the forum at different times of the day.

Personally, I use WSOs for 2 purposes - to build a brand and to attract new clients to my information business.

This means a WSO can be 'profitable' for me even without making any sales - or with very few sales.

It requires that you have a line of products and services to sell to your new subscribers or customers, and that you know your metrics (lifetime value of your average customer, your allowable cost to acquire a new client, your retention rate and repeat sales frequency and size) - all of which let you make reasoned assumptions on how much you can spend on running an offer, bumping it, and estimate your profits over the long term.

I'll end with a favorite quote by Jay Abraham:

"If you have a single product, you don't have a business - you have a promotion!"

A Warrior Special Offer IS a promotion. It brings new leads into your business. If you don't have a business yet, you'll only be using a WSO as a promotion. Nothing wrong with that, but your calculations must factor that in.

Relevant posts to review (and print out to read again later) are the ones by Alexa Smith and calfred above. Both are golden!

Hi Mani,

It's more likely I misinterpreted something. But one of the rules says,

3. A Warrior Special Offer Means The Price You Give Must Be Better Than The Price The Public At Large Can Get. (This is not a "buy my product" forum, it is a "Special Offer" forum)

I've always taken that to mean... 1. One should be offering the product to the public at large, and 2. the price should be better than the price offered to the general public.

I've always read that and interpreted (quite possibly misinterpreted) the intent of the owner and/or mods to be that the WSO section was a place to offer fellow Warriors a discounted price on an original product one is selling outside of the Forum. (Making it a "Special" offer.)

I'm not arguing my point, Mani. Indeed, you would be one of the last people here I would argue with. Too much respect for you !

That's where I got my take on the thing though. I could be wrong on that. It's happened before. --Mike

I've never ran an WSO here (not even a War Room Member) but I have sold several reports at the Digital Point forums and have done quite well for having a "part-time online gig."

It really depends on the product offered. For example Auto-blog products seemed to drop off the face of the earth this last month...

man if you have the drive all i can say is "DO IT" if you fail just don't make the same mistakes twice..."to fail only makes you better!!" im out

I've earned quite a bit from my WSO, but, honestly, the focus shouldn't necessarily be about how much YOU can make, but rather, how much value you can give to others. Ideally, the most optimal situation is when you can shape returning customers, instill great value, AND earn money.

Would anyone be interested in a series of articles about how to launch a successful WSO (from someone who has)? I've been toying with the idea...If others could benefit from it, I may just write a several installment "primer"/"how-to" with alot of tips...
