Would creating a WSO be a smart move?

12 replies
Hello all,

I wanted to get some feedback from warriors especially warriors who have created wso's of their own on whether creating a wso would be a good idea.

A little background on myself and IM career,

I have been studying internet marketing for over 6 years now and have struggled for the better part of those years. I have only had small success in the rescent 2 1/2 years with a small niche website that currently makes about $500-$1000 per month profit from clickbank products that I created and own. It did take alot of work and consistency to get it to that level and was nice side money to help with bills here and there however deffinetly wasn't job quitting income. Recently in the last 2 months I have come across a system (totally unrelated to my niche site) that I have been killing it with. I quickly scaled it up to making $80 per day in just under 2 months and can easily see it scaled to $100+ per day by next week.

I was thinking of creating a WSO on this system but was unsure if it would be a smart move. My question is would it be smart to create a WSO for this system? and by doing so could it possibly saturate the system rendering it useless?

I am not one of the internet gurus, I am a struggling IM'er just like most on the warrior forum that has found a system that simply works.

Thanks for your feedback,

    sure, why wouldn't it be? chances are you are more knowledgeable than most people searching through the WSOs to begin with.

    and as for the saturation question, is the "system" niche specific?

      If you believe that you have something of real value to offer I would say to go for it.
      Make sure you show proof of income/results on your sales page.

      A few reviews/testimonials would also help since your post count isn't that high.

      Wish you all the best.

      Hi Thomas,

      No it's not niche specific, I actually created 4 different campaigns in different niches to really test the system and make sure it works. I have struggled for so long and finally found a system that makes real money, I just wasn't sure if creating a WSO would saturate the system and it's effectiveness.

    First, it's not likely to saturate anything. Most of the people who would buy it won't use it. Not being negative, there's a ton of statistical evidence to support that.

    If you have a business model that can produce $80 - $100 a day and can explain it and can prove you earn that much you might be able to have success.

    But just having a good procuct isn't enough. If you want the big money you'll need positive reviews, affilliates and some really good sales copy for your offer. If you really want to do this make a study of successful WSOs and take notes on what the sellers are doing. Good luck.

    Sounds like you've done your homework and paid your dues, and also like you're pretty confident this is a real "system" and not just "that thing I did that worked that one time."

    could it possibly saturate the system rendering it useless?
    It depends on the system. Some systems can be saturated, which IMO is a flaw in the system that should be addressed. Whether your system can be saturated is something you'll have to figure out for yourself.

    I usually ask these questions.

    First, which third-party service providers does this system depend on? Google, PayPal, eBay, Clickbank, etc? Is your system within their terms and conditions of service? If thousands of people start using your system, are these third parties likely to become concerned and alter those terms and conditions?

    Second, does your system inherently limit the number of people who can be successful with it? What is the key element of your system, and would greater competition in that element make it more expensive or harder to obtain?

    Third, is it possible for one person to take success away from other people by scaling up or out to an insane degree? Is there monopoly power available to any "800 pound gorilla" that arrives in the marketplace?

    If you get disturbing answers to these questions, consider revising your system.

    Most WSOs aren't from gurus. They're from people just like you and me.

      This is an earnings screenshot of the last week I was testing for the first part of the week and the last three days began to scale the system.

      LOL I was just referring to all the big clickbank names that you see over and over again.

      Yes this is deff a real working system, I actually could have scaled it faster if I had really focused my attention on it. I will also continue to scale, tweak and create more campaigns just to really make sure the system works well if and before I create the WSO.

    I would definitely go for it,

    Make sure to really get the copy down (i would suggest paying a copywriter if you don't know how to do it yourself). Get the pricepoint down, and blow it up.

    The best part is that a wso is just the start. If it sells really well, you could have people do solo mails for you, and promote it elsewhere.

    One of the great things about running a WSO is that you can do so whenever you want, and you never know what might happen when the thread goes live. But if you want the best results, it may be wise to wait until you can show that your earnings increase is stable (months of income proof... at least weeks) before posting your WSO.

    and by doing so could it possibly saturate the system rendering it useless?
    Of course. If there's no room in your business for any competitors, or you're in the most popular niche in your business and it's already extremely crowded, saturation should always be a concern.

      Hi Jon,

      Thanks for the feedback, yes I plan on continuing to scale, and tweak the system to make sure it's stable before possibly creating a WSO. I will probably post another earnings screenshot to this thread next week hopefully.
