Hey guys

I just finishing my first WSO, well ive done the plan itself but now i need to get a decent sales/squeeze page designed so can anyone recommend anyone?

Ive seen a couple of designers on here but they are probably more for more experienced marketers with bigger seling WSO than me. (my WSO is about mindset and my 12 years experience as a professional therapist/coach)

Do i need to upload my WSO onto a server? i read that somewhere?

Is there anything else i need to know?

cheers

    Check Warriors for Hire. Everyone else is going to recommend it, and conviniently have a sig link with what you need. Be wary of sly self promotion.

    With a WSO about mindset, shouldn't you know better than to self limit yourself like that? If you're trying to say you want a lower level service, come out with it and say that.

    Hi

    Ive checked warriors for hire, what i meant was that i dont want to spend a load of money and appeal to the wrong people, this is all new stuff to me as far as on here goes.

    I believe in my WSO or i wouldn't be offering it for sale, I know that stuff works as i see it everyday.

    cheers

    Look for a WSO on squeeze pages. You may find a free one.

    Or look for posts about squeeze pages.

    One or both of these should give you some good direction.

    You will get what you pay for.

    The designers I have seen around here are charging anywhere from $99 - $197 for a very nice looking WSO sales page. You can go cheaper than that but you will be compromising on quality by doing so.

    If you believe in your product then you should be trying to give your product the best possible chance and that means a professionally designed sales page.

    Don't skimp on that stuff because it can be the difference between a product succeeding or failing.

    Hi

    I agree, the one i saw is around $180 and like you say if you believe in it yourself you have to give it the best chance.

    Do people still expect to get free review copies or not?

      I only give free copies to people who have a mailing list and might want to promote my product.

      Without a mailing list, the person requesting the review copy can sit and spin. :p

    If you use a service like warrior plus or jvzoo then you really don't need a squeeze page. They are able to add your buyers to your email list at the time of purchase. You just have to remember to turn off the confrimed optin.

    There are several advantages to using one of those services.
    (1) You can upload your files and they are more secure than you may have on your own site.
    (2) You have affiliates that will want to promote your product without you having to maintain your own affiliate program. (This is a big advantage).
    (3) You can use a dimesale philosophy so you don't have to continually change the price. This is done automatically.

    There are many more. I only use a squeeze page when I am offering a OTO or encouraging buyers to purchase an additional product that relates to the product I am selling.

    To Your Success,

    Michael

    I think there is. But you're not going to want to hear it. You say your WSO is about mindset. Have you done any research on the success of personal development WSOs? I think you'd do well to go as far back through the WSO forum as you can and look at what has sold and what hasn't.

    The market here is primarily male age 18 to 35. They don't like to read much. They like their info in little videos. They want instant solutions. They want autopilot business models. Most think in terms of systems or money-making programs rather than being in business. They believe unbelievable claims and then complain when they can't seem to make the silliness work the way it was promoted. They're NOT on this forum for personal development or to improve their mindset.

    There are obviously some people here looking for such stuff but they are the exception and not the rule. Here's a thread that was started in the Mind Warrior section about selling personal development products here. Take a look:

    http://www.warriorforum.com/mind-war...provement.html

    I expect you'll still want to launch your WSO. Maybe taking a closer look at the market here will help you tailor the offer so it's more appealing. If you do, consider offering personal or business coaching as there are many who at least say they're open to it. Good luck.

      Hi Travlinguy

      That thread is a good read. Thanks for that, it has helped shape my thoughts a little I am still researching what previous offers have been sold on here etc and i have to agree with you. I am aware that most people on here are looking for get rich quick schemes, what they dont realise is that there's virtually no way to do that, most successful people (even if they dont know it straight away) are using a similar mindset to other successful people.

      I am aware that no such product would be one of the biggest selling WSO, thats what i talking about earlier in another reply. Thats not to say i dont believe in myself or the product, its just that i am realistic as to how many would buy it on a forum which is primarily based on making money today, not tomorrow mentality- no offence intended to anyone.

      I think its like the thread you quoted says -if you get the hook right, it will sell, thats the issue.

      cheers

        I'm glad you took my post in the spirit it was intended. And I have no doubt you believe in yourself and product. Selling self help stuff here would be like trying to sell pet supplies at a flower show. You might get a sale or two...

        As mentioned in the link I posted, there was a guy back in '08 who did really well with a bunch of hypnosis recordings and other hypnosis stuff. But guess what? Hypnosis implies "instant" results and this guy framed his offer to reflect that. So, it got gobbled up. Go figure, huh?

        Anyway, good luck with your offer.

    Graphics are great but whats more important are the words.

    You will need words that sell!

    I think you should forget all of that and focus on networking and hiring someone to write your sales copy.

    Networking - Your going to need people to promote your WSO to make a decent figure. You can make money doing it yourself but soon you will realize that leverage is more important than just doing things yourself.

    Sales Copy - To be honest with you I write my own copy and i'm no copy expert but what I write seems to work. What I recommend to your is hiring someone here on the forum that is experienced with writing wso sales copy.

    The combination of these two things and a good product YOUR GOOD. Then I would consider graphics etc.

    Hey, I'm just saying
