Who has made money from buying a WSO?

Buying a WSO never made me a dime. It has always cost me money.

Implementing some things I learned or used from WSO's has added to my bottom line.

I feel that WSO are offers that make money to the owners and never to us. The information, some times is good. Most of the time is the same information they just re-write it. Bottom line go and work and make your own online business. Run I real business, Online store, sell products or whatever. As much as we like I never trust offers that promise me to be a millionaire in 24 hours, or "you can quit your job in a week" Come on, use some common sense. I always find that a real solid business that requires you to actually work and no short cuts will make you money. disregards the promises. Saying that I fell into WSO as well. :-) but never made a dime.

You know, I very rarely purchase a WSO, as I'm busy "doing my own thing".

However, I did purchase a WSO awhile back and put the information inside to use...I ended up making a few thousand dollars the first month.

Now, I am 100% certain that many others purchased the same WSO, and made exactly ZERO dollars. Why? Because they didn't put the information to use, didn't follow through, gave up too easy, or came up with a million excuses why it wouldn't work for them, etc....

Truth is, there is a LOT of good information out there, you just have to put it to use. Take Action!

Warning:
By purchasing a WSO, you may experience instant profits into your paypal account.

(FALSE!; WSO's are a great educational tool and only work if you put the content to use)

Some tips in WSO's I find useful and others are not useful to me but may be to someone else.

that is for the owner of the wso, why? their sell wso and you their and other buy, who make money if not the seller?

you can earn $10k? come on that you must have high level of skill, ton of hand, lot of worker that can help you out. for newbie....? NO, based on what you can make that $10k

I have purchased many WSO's, more than I would like to admit to. I've made money from three and two out of the three changed the way I built my business online.

Those two were WSO's on how to:

Build Google News sites and build sites to sell on Flippa.

WSO's are EDUCATIONAL tools and its really no different than your local bookstore or the bookstore located on a college campus.

STOP LOOKING FOR THE EASY BUTTON. It doesn't exist. It never did. You're a fool to believe the hype.

IMO I think WSO's are (1) Good for extracting information only to further promote your business, and (2) a scam. So they have both benefits and downsides. For example; (1)I recently bought a WSO and found information that I can implement into my niche. (2) If a seller was making 10k a month, why would he or she be selling their wso for $10 bux only to have it be saturated?

.....This leads me to believe that their business, is making $10 bux off a wso (over 10, 50, 100, 1,000 buyers) as their pirmary business. They aint making **** and are only selling false hope imo

I have made money off of a few WSO's - i honestly dont believe any WSO will reveal somebody's main income stream, and i dont expect it to. Maybe an additional Income stream that they have they are revealing - which is fine by me

I got one last night and I think that could do it for me.

But that's the usual feeling according to the reviews I read in that forum lol. There's a lot of excitement, like "omg this is so great and wonderful and worth eleventy billion dollars" but very few come back to give a cash amount.

Perhaps, once they start doing the WORK, they are on to the next easier, quicker thing?

I'll have to come back and post in six months, lol.

The best advises I got to improve and differentiate my business came from War Room oldest threads. Old school, tested methods.

I kid you not.

I look at it like an investment, no risk, no reward - Most of the time, I find people that complain about such things are looking for a quick buck & didnt have the $ to spend in the first place - though I am sure some members selling WSOs are just here for the buck, members are honest enough to sort them out real quick! Those that are on here genuinely offering helpful products to other IMers should be remunerated (and will be gain a better reputation & subsequent sales because of it)

Back to my original point, if you budget to spend $x on your business & you find a relevant WSO and pick up one thing from it, i think you've done well. Its all relevant, doesn't matter if you spend $16 or $1600, you could afford to invest it.

I rambled a bit but i hope it makes sense!

Just to reiterate, if i budget $40 of my income goes back into my business on a weekly basis, that could be 2x $10 WSOs & 4x Fiverr gigs for the week

I make tones of money with the techques. It helps alot but some are just bad almost plr junk

I've learned things that helped me improve my business, save time, and increase revenue. In addition, I've gotten WSOs of PLR content for specific projects that was a great value. I've also gotten some graphic packs in there that were great deals.

That being said, nothing in there is going to earn you a million dollars and Ferrari overnight. You shouldn't expect it to, either.

Part of the reason one can afford to give away their 'secrets' is not that they don't work. Its that most who receive are not disciplined enough to flourish with the knowledge undue competition.

I think, looking at the OP, there is a distinction to be draw for the various reasons people buy WSOs

If they currently do not have a solid business model, or have successfully built an income stream using a particular model and are looking to expand and investigate other methods, those people will be looking more for systems. Complete methods explained from A-Z. Some may drop lucky and find a method which suits their style and will actually work if applied consistently.

Another reason why people will buy is to supplement their existing business. Say, for example, you are involved with affiliate marketing Clickbank products and a WSO pops up to explain a tweak or technique to enhance Clickbank sales then you may be interested in that. Again, you may find that the technique or tweak can be applied to your existing business and you may well profit from deploying it.

A third reason is that a WSO may provide a tool which you need to further your existing business - a membership site plug-in or a Facebook Fanpage template as examples. These will add either functionality or traffic sources to your existing business and should result in an increase in income.

The forth reason is the one which really will not result in profits. That is serial method hopping. Going to the WSO board and being bedazzled by each and every method and sales promise on there.

Keep a clear head, don't get 'sold to' and ask yourself some tough questions about why you need the WSO before hitting the buy button.

And yes, this also applies to the WSOs which are only a couple of bucks. You may think you are getting a bargain but if it means you will be distracted from your main business, it could cost you much more.

My websites got a better ranking because I followed a WSO a long time ago. It did help me sell a few ebooks indirectly (I guess), but not immediately. I believe that everything depends on a series of factors. One WSO alone won’t save your life.

If you asking me 99% is pure crapp, on the other hand there are some people that offer real value but you can count them on one hand.

Well, different response about WSO seem to put a quest on it. Unless there is someone who has bought it and has used for a while and has made money for him/her. Is there such a one?

I've purchased WSOs from Steven Wagenheim, Colin Palfrey, CD Darlock, and Tim Gorman that have all helped me make more money in my article writing business.

The trick is to actually use the information, not just read the WSO.

well , really it depands, sometimes a wso work and other time wso doesn't work. but since internet marketing niche is now saturated and people are reproducing the same content again and again , it is very difficult to get some new way of making money online.

If you are starting out, then yes, if you stick to one of the systems you will make money. But too many jump around from system to system without sticking to it.

I buy WSO's from time to time, especially if they are a WSO of the day. There has been many methods or techniques that have helped my business that I have found through WSO's. I won't promote them here but the ones that help with building affiliate sites and generating traffic have helped me the most.
