Should I give away or sell an WSO?

Hey warriors! A while back I wrote a 20 page eBook on how to make affiliate marketing your career. It goes over everything from what to expect and what programs you need and exactly how to begin.

My original intentions were to sell this ebook on a website, but that never went through as it's a hard market to establish yourself in, so now I am wondering if I should give it away as a WSO or sell it or do something else with it?

If I were to sell it, I would price it low at only $4-10. But if I were to sell it then I could put backlinks to my site and get some quality traffic out of it and do the forums a favor by giving it away for free.

What do you guys think? I have no experience in WSO so I have no idea what to expect or what to do. Someone please give me some opinion! Thanks!

    If you ask me then you should charge small amount of money for your report (wso). People are not interest into free reports as much as they were in the past. It is in peoples nature and a lot of them think that free products are not as good as paid products.

      Thanks! What do you feel is a fair price for 20 pages of an ebook that teaches affiliate marketing? $5 or $9.99?

      If anyone else has ever done a WSO I would like if you shared your experience. Was it worth the price of posting it and making a product?

    If the information is of value then charge for it. You'll end up with a better list of customers. Free ain't what it use to be.

    What I've found that works grand is to start it off as a dimesale at 97 cents, and then increase the price every few sales or so.

    You'll build your list that way much better than if you start off without any affiliates to help you promote it.

    I've done 17 WSOs now in the past 3 months, most of them like that....it does seem to work rather well.

      Thanks for the input! How would I go about increasing the price every few sales? Is there a site that I can sell through that offers this?
