[WSO SELLERS:] Tip From A Paying Customer

8 replies
Yeah yeah yeah, I know the wso sellers are going to probably complain and make well thought out, clever replies to this thread. Saying things like "we cant reveal the insides of our business for $17".

But here is what I want. And remember im a client of many wso sellers and im a prospect of many others. Im also an active online marketer and I know how business works. Your not selling to old ladies that are buying earl grey tea here guys.

Please start telling me how much profit you make after taxes, after over heads, after refunds, after re-investement's and after all is said and done. I want to know what your profit is. Not your turn over or "How Much You Make".

Because how much you make tells me absolutely nothing.

I want ROI. I want lean profit. I want real numbers.

The reason for this? I find myself constantly asking either via PM or via thread reply the same questions over and over again.

Im telling you this because you are leaving money on the table. Ive not purchased many wso's for this reason.

Do other warriors agree with me or am I just being an idiot?

    I'm afraid you're not likely to get any of that information from any wso sellers.


    ..and if you did, and if it was true, how would it make any difference in how well YOU did with it?

    I Made $24,000 In 24 Hours - You Can Too !!
    (Oops, But it took me 2 years to perfect and cost $20,000 to implement.)



    Do you mean something like that ^^^.
    Good luck mate, a lot of the WSO's sell because they make these claims,
    and don't really give you te full story...

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

    1. Even if you PM someone asking for that information what's to say you are being told the truth?

    2. Why should it matter? If you base your buying decisions on what other people claim to have made then you are in for some major disappointment. In my opinion income claims are one of the last things you should ever look at when making a serious purchase.

    3. It doesn't matter what someone else made with their product because it is not a guarantee of what you will make. You are only ever going to make the exact same if you were under the exact same conditions as the person who made that money. In a lot of cases the amount of money you make is dependent on the amount of action you take and your persistence, and they are both things no one can 'teach' you. Methods and procedures can be taught -- initiative can't.

    The fact is EVERY WSO on this forum will make money if done by the right person. Because someone with persistence will never give up and will always adjust their plans if things don't work. So the exact methods in the WSO may not work but given the right person, those methods will lead them down a track to something that does eventually work and does make money.

      I must try this the next time I'm in a shop buying something.

      I won't stop at the shop owners, I'll demand to know the check-out girl's take home pay after tax.

    Andrei,

    Let's say I have a method that is able to be 100% replicated by you, without a single point of difference that would affect the outcomes (it's not possible, but let's assume it is for this), so that we both earn EXACTLY $10,000 gross from the method.

    Do you think it's possible that our expenses will always be the same?

    If work in my grandmothers basement and have a neighborhood child do all the grunt work I might net $9500.

    If you work in a nice office and pay an assistant $12 an hour to do your grunt work, you might net $500.

    My point is this... no matter what a person might tell you about their net earnings, it's totally irrelevant to you. What you need to realize, is that if our hypothetical method is able to gross $10,000 for everyone, every time... it's your job to keep your costs low and maximize your return. No one, and I mean no one, can do that for you.

    I do hope you understand this.

    Michael

    Here is the deal...

    I could tell you
    that I made $125k last year.

    I could also tell you that I was able to write off on my taxes 20% of my household expenses, because my office space occupies 20% of my floor space.

    I could tell you that I paid for outgoing expenses in the range of $22k, leaving me $103k on which I paid taxes.
    NOTE: All of the numbers used to this point, with the exception of the 20% are purely fictional -- the only kind of fictional writing I do...

    Are you my wife or the IRS? Nope. Then that means that what I take home each year is none of your business.

    Now, if I told you the above numbers, does it mean that you could match my performance?

    No, it does not.

    You may generate more or less than I did. You may be able to justify writing off more or less than I did.

    You business model may be very similar to mine, but most likely it will be different. So my numbers could never plug into your business formula.

    My earnings will always be different from yours -- more or less. My costs will always be different from yours -- more or less. My expenses will always be different from yours -- more or less. And, my profits will always be different from yours -- more or less.

    Further, my WSO may only represent part or all of my total earnings. If only part of my total earnings, then my total earnings are meaningless to my WSO.

    What you can do with what I teach you will always be different than what I did with the same information -- more or less.

    In a previous WSO that I put out there, I promised that the buyer could collect $500 per client per month.

    One of my students in turn sold $54,000 worth of monthly contract services to 3 clients, in under two weeks using the methods I taught in the WSO. Which, truth be known, was FAR GREATER than I had ever earned using the techniques I was teaching.

    That student had smoked my revenue, using the exact same information I used to open a physical office and employ five people.

    You can do the math if you want to do so, but I had a physical office with 6 computer desks and 5 employees for more than 18 months. Each of my local employees earned at least double the minimum wage, while they were on my payroll.

    Do the math in your head, then realize whatever number you come up with does not matter one iota, when you are considering whether my earnings will impact your ability to make a profit.

    There is no perfect equation that will tell you whether a particular business model is worth investing your money.

    Your results will vary considerably -- up or down -- so the numbers that you hear from a particular WSO vendor will mean NOTHING.

    I'm gonna have to go with option B here Andrei. Sorry but you have no right to that information. I get your frustration, but you have to seek to change what you can control, and that's what YOU choose to do not what others do.

    I mean I was kinda offended when I read your post and I don't even own a WSO, never have. It's just something you don't have the right to demand, friend.

    You will do much better for yourself worrying about how much money YOU can make rather than what some WSO seller makes.

    In response to your question
    Do other warriors agree with me or am I just being an idiot?
    I wouldnt call you an idiot but I do think your decision making process is idiotic.
