I may be off base with my answer here, but I understand why many WSO's are put together this way. Let me use something I'm working on right now as an example. I'm putting together what I think is a pretty awesome WSO on site flipping. I contracted someone to put all my notes into an Ebook which is very comprehensive - but there's much, much more I want to share via video. If I try to put it ALL in the ebook, the thing would be 300 pages long - who's gonna read that? So now if i offer the ebook, really cheap - say $17, but them offer all the extra video stuff as and upsell or OTO - that would seem like the logical thing to do, but then I'm guilty of doing what you're complaining about - right? If I just include everything in one big shebang in the WSO but at a higher price - I will sell less. So if you're me, what would yo do?

Thanks

Nope, this isn't the complaint. The complaint is about receiving daily emails promoting their new product or someone else's new product. I actually have no problem with OTOs. I would like to know upfront that there will be one; but, I have no real issue with OTOs. I received what I think are really sweet deals in OTOS

Thanks

Cool - thank you for the clarification because I've been wrestling with this for about a week now.

I've purchased my share of WSO's so I know what you're talking about. Your email can spread among WSO promoters at an amazing rate after you've given it out. Building huge lists and emailing everyone on it 3,4 and 5 WSO offers a day is a complete business model for some people.

I concur that WillR overall has been with one of the good guys. His MyMobileBusiness WSO is one of my moneymakers. Just the other day, it saved a sale when the whole topic of SEO was going south with a new potential client.

It's so bad that I basically just had to set an automatic filter send all the incoming emails into a folder I labeled "Internet Marketing Spam" and I rarely look at. The downside is occasionally there is something relevant to the WSO I bought that is sent. A handful of good actors get their own separate folder. I've also seen case of someone that will go unnamed that was initially a good actor as they were totally in the offline world and brought a product of real value but then go down hill as they got more in to the online marketing and becoming an affiliate of other products and now I have to filter their stuff into the spam folder. I guess the attraction of easy money once you've had success in building a big enough list that JV's and other temptations are too much to hold up the integrity of actually using what you are promoting.

To those that do NOT promote what they don't use or at least, haven't run through and tested, my hats off to you. For the rest, it's into the spam folder.
- Thanks

Makes sense. Just maybe space it out more and not immediately ask for the sale.

(Not you specifically, just WSO'ers always asking for the sale one email after another.)

Thanks

I have to agree with Samuel here. In the past six months I've bought about 20+ WSOs. Most of the time, the sellers have been great and I only get relevant information.

Of course, the ones that don't provide value to you are the ones you want to remove your email address from.

That being said, only YOU can make it a great day!

Wishing you sunshine and good fortune.

Peace.

I would agree
But you will always find a few bad apples
which give every other seller a bad name.

I signed up to one warrior's list .. now two weeks later I am on apparently 9 different list I didn't sign up to. It is a constant barrage of Troy .. you won't believe this.

They are right I don't .. 23 emails in less than 48 hours from list I didn't even sign up to.

I am not complaining. I signed up to the list to see how this respected Warrior ran their list. I learned plenty ... just probably not what this Warrior wanted to teach.

Thanks

I have found some occasions where a Warrior's list I had gotten on I let emails run through for awhile, then I unsubscribed...and later on found my way back on that original list!!! I am pretty sure I didn't opt back in.
