by ankur sharma

I have launched my wso and daily, i get 2,3 affiliates interested in promoting my wso. I have approved all of them, but noone sent even single visitor to my wso. The affiliate commission i give is 20% on $27 product.

Though, the product is really really fantastic (i hope so) and overall conversion rate is 3%. Though, i made some quick changes on sales copy and coversion rate has since increased to 5%. So, my question is what should i do to gain more affiliates?

Thanks in advance

    You are not competing with other WSOs in terms of affiliate payouts, at all.

    To be competitive you need to give 50% commission, minimum. Preferably higher. If you can make sales on the backend 100% commission could get you some affiliates.

    But that's the first thing I saw and it's clear.

    Your WSO conversion is average but if you give at least 75% commission you could likely get a few good affiliates to promote for you.

    Thanks for the answer. Here are couple of more questions

    1) Does warriorplus show affiliates, conversion rate of wsos?

    2) I think, warriorforum is not a place to launch high priced items. I mean, my product is not ebok or pdf. Its software. I cannot give away more than 20% affiliate commission on $27 product. I thought, for $27, it comes out as $5 affiliate commission. Most of the products i see being sold here are of $5 to $10 range.

    I guess, i am left with these options

    1) Lets wait for some affiliate who actually find my product really good and promote it to his list. May be not for commissions, but to make some commission and earn some good karma from his subscribers.

    2) Raise the price from $27 to $47 and then offer 50% commission.

    3) Introduce, more wso, which explain theory in simple pdf and sell my software as backend.

    Hmmmm, any advice here will be appreciated.

      You can sell higher priced items but it's not exactly the perfect market for that.

      That's for sure better than 20% commission

      That is another option and probably not a bad idea.

      It sure does so if yours has an average or low conversion rate, it is going to be hard to attract any decent affiliates.

      WSO stands for Warrior SPECIAL Offer meaning people should be getting a steal of a deal. That doesn't mean your product has to be dirt cheap but it does mean your product should be much cheaper than it would be found anywhere else.

      I would be interested to know why you say you can only giveaway 20% commissions? What is stopping you from giving away 50%+ commissions? Greed, or is there actually something stopping you?

      With the huge amount of WSO's being sold every day of the week, no one is going to waste their time promoting a WSO for only 20% commissions. They might end up with the same payout as a $10 product offering 50% commissions but the fact is the $10 product is going to be much easier to sell than your $27 product so they would much rather promote it.

      I think you will find the majority of affiliates pushing WSO's these days are very profit conscious - they promote the WSO's based on how much money they will earn from it. The best time to attract affiliates is in the early stages of your WSO launch when your stats are nice and high.

      Two other important things to note:

      1. Stop approving every affiliate who asks to promote your product. There is a very good reason why the WarriorPlus system tells you to only approve those affiliates you know or trust. If you go and promote just anyone then you will find some people sending worthless traffic to your offer that doesn't convert which in turn ruins your Warrior Plus conversion rate and makes it even less likely you will get any good affiliates wanting to promote your product in the future.

      2. Put up an avatar picture of yourself. You are not doing yourself any favors by having a blank profile. People like to deal with real people and an anonymous looking profile like yours does not help with your credibility factor, especially when you are trying to sell something.
