Why Shouldn't Signatures Be Enabled ONLY For WSO Sellers On WSO Threads?

by warriorkay

I am not sure if this has been answered before, but am just wondering...

Since the main reason why signatures were disabled from WSO section
was to prevent WSO squatters from attempting to pimp their offers, why
shouldn't the owner of the WSO be allowed to have his/her signature on?

I notice back in the days when I run a new WSO I get sales for old ones
as well, sometimes from the signature on display. It's also a good idea for
potential buyers to see our other offers without having to click our profile.

I think it will be a good idea to allow owners of WSO to have signatures
on since we paid for the thread, .

Again, am just wondering aloud,

Do other WSO sellers agree?

    Well, I don't see that way.

    Most people would prefer to just "promote" 1 WSO, and trying to promote or highlight a second one, might ruin your conversion on that current WSO.

    Plus, one of the main idea of selling is to get your customers to focus on the offer at hand, rather than sway them to another direction. Having too many different links, will confuse your prospect and ultimately spoil it for the seller.

    To put it in short: You don't put the salespage link of another product at the bottom of your sales page do you? Same idea.

      I don't know the correct answer to your question, but I would think that it would probably be a technical problem.

      In other words, due to the board technology/features, one can either turn off ALL the signatures in a thread for forum or turn them ALL on.

      Regarding the WSO threads, it might be the same: it's not possible to turn off everybody's signatures while leaving the WSO seller's with his/hers.

      On the whole however, it appears reasonable to turn off all signatures (including that of the WSO seller) because yes, who wants others indirectly selling their wares in your thread and two, the WSO seller paid for one thread so why should he/she get the chance to sell multiple items in their thread?

      I agree with you, but some people who haven't bought from you
      before might want to see what your other offers have been like - good
      or bad, before deciding whether to buy. Your sig file can help with that.

      And it's a fact that most people who view your WSO won't buy. It
      will be good for them to consider your other offers before closing the
      WSO thread,

      I think we, as sellers, should be given the option of enabling our sig
      on our paid WSO offers, or not.

    You can get around the problem by recommending your other WSOs on the sales page or by including a short free report/video that mentions them. As GMD said, it may be technically difficult to allow you signatures in one specific thread inside a whole section where signatures are disabled.

      I think it should stay the way it is. What if you have an affiliate promoting your WSO and their lead clicks on the signature and purchase a different WSO of yours. You get a sale off their effort, and they got nothing. I wouldn't like that at all.

      Easy solution to that, as another has mentioned, is to put that in your sales copy. Another idea is to put those links on the second post. Problem solved!

      I just started doing that, although it's a pain to do on many WSOs, :p

      I see the points that others have made are valid. But I still think if
      the technicalities of allowing that are not cumbersome, we, as sellers
      who paid for the WSOs, should have the option of ON or OFF,

    I would say no. I have a reason though so don't yell at me. How many wso's are crap. Some just put something up to get subscribers or get a viral product out there. Now I am sure if you allowed them to have sigs, we would see some pretty strange things. especially if no one else had one.

    Hi,

    If it's the WSO you have paid for then you can put anything you want in your OP. Even your Sig. Very much like I've done here for illustrative purposes only.

      True. Am doing that, but like I said - it's a pain to do with many
      WSOs, especially as you make changes and want them effected
      everywhere your sig file appears.

        Oh the problems we have as Warriors. Too many WSOs. LOL Anyway that is a direct cut copy of my Sig file. I don't think the text will change when I change my sig, however I think the picture will change.

        Here is a way Create a banner with the Sig you want in all your WSOs. Now upload it to your host. Call it WSOsig.jpg simply place that image at the bottom of your post. Now when you want to change the Sig in all of your WSO posts simply change the banner. Instant change in all WSOs.

        The above will not take any longer than a sig change on the forum.

          Who says the smartest folks don't hang in here,

          Thanks, George. I hope others will also thank you when they
          start doing this on their WSOs, :p

          Edit - another little problem - how do you link to the different
          WSOs in that one jpg? I think it can be done, but how?

      You do know you don't have to buy every WSO that's put out, right?

        Hi,

        The JPG has only one address. You use the image insert feature at the top of the post forum code editor to insert the image in as many posts as you like. Same address, same image. When you upload a new image with the same name the new image replaces your previous immage and appears in all your posts.

          Back in the days I think I found how to link different parts of an
          image to different urls, when creating headers. I have forgotten
          how it's done, but it can be done.

    Kingsley,

    That's an on/off setting. Nothing more complicated than that.

    You are certainly welcome to post whatever extra links you like to your other products in a paid thread. I'm betting it will cost you sales, but you're paying for it.

    Yes splicing and everything, but does that not go with cookie stuffing, I know its not cookie stuffing but seems along the same lines.

    Now you both have lost me. It's not splicing or stuffing. It's simply linking to an image. Change the image change the sig.

    I haven't looked, Kingsley, however, don't you have any images in your WSO? Now if you uploaded a different image with the same name, it would replace the old image with the new without you having to do anything to the actual WSO.

      What am saying is - back in the days of creating headers and
      building html sites I came across a way of creating different sections
      in an image and linking the different sections to different urls. I can't
      remember exactly how it's done, but it can be done.

      In other words, that method can be applied to this as well - create
      an image like that and link the different sections to the different
      urls of your WSOs and upload that image to your server.

        O yea, Old school I think it's called image mapping and you can simply look for a free image mapping tool, Google it. Or you can slice it up with PhotoShop and do it that way.

        By the way I've change the image in your post 19 above where you quote me, however the image is not changed in my post. I did it by changing the name of the image in my post and not in yours. That is basically illustrating, change the image, don't change the name and the image in the post changes.

        Yes, this kind of thing can be done on any other HTML website but I am fairly certain the BB code that this forum uses will not allow for it.

        All you simply do is create one image in photoshop that has your different products/links in it and then slice it up so that each product is it's own image and you can then link each product to a different link.
