When is the best time of day to post WSO?

A lot of people like Tuesdays and Thursday around the early afternoon... like 11am-2pm EST. That's because a lot of people are on then. But a lot of people bump and launch then too, so your WSO falls down the page rather quickly.

When you bump at an off hour... say 7pm EST on a Wednesday... then less people see it right off the bat, but it stays higher on the first page longer.

So... there is no best time... it's all about your preference really. It's really about your offer too. Either it's fantastic or "another one of those WSOs".

Sunday morning at precisely 2:16AM Central Standard (not Daylight) time in the US.

And 34 seconds of course, JaRyCu.

Lol this thread is hilarious!

According to our extensive research, the best answer is, in fact, orange.

I feel like we've had this conversation before...

Man...why must I correct everyone. SEOwen (love the name by the way, very clever!), you never ever ever ever want to do anything when the forum is busy. If you post something when it's busy, that means you're posting when all of the haters and trollers are around.

Haters and trollers are not your target market. Don't post when they're around.

Instead, you want to post when only the serious people are here. My absolute mostest newestestest research shows that to be 4:17AM Mountain Time. I know that's contradictory to what I'd posted initially, but this faux nouveau deluxe research was just completed 3 hours 27 minutes.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. SHEEEERRRRAAA!!!

What matter is the quality not the time.. As of what I have observed Sunday morning should be the best time..

Timing is important but it is not something you can learn form others. Launch it whenever you want then test conversion times with the paid bumps.

I always like to do it at exactly half past a monkeys'..... Wait! No, Im not giving you my secret. Sheesh, go find your OWN monkey!

Monday's are horrible.

This question seems to float through the forum every single week... and the answer does not change. The best time to post your WSO is when it's ready to be posted. Spend your time worrying about your product, your sales copy, your offer, your affiliates. Those things are going to make a much bigger difference to your success than the time of day your offer was posted.

Study when most new wso's are posted,.........and do the opposite! avoid the competition!

@ Willy

ROTFLMAO!

If you want to see your WSO longer time on the first page, then post it at offpick hours. At this time visitors are comparatively less, but your WSO remains longer time on the first page to be seen by the people.

On the other hand, if you post or bump at pick hours (when most people post or bump), your WSO will remain on the first page for lower time duration. Though a lot of visitors are available to see your WSO, but for shorter time duration, you may not get expected no of viewers.

I always prefer the offpick hours for my WSO.

HMMM I really do not think there is a good time

This just in:

My research has once again been updated. It turns out that, after seriously studying this matter in-depth for a matter of at least 2 quintillionths of a second, the new best time to post a WSO is any time that there is a Lost rerun on TV.

BTW...as far as I know, no one is running Lost reruns. Does anyone know why? I loved that show....

Clearly Jason has gotten into Grandma's moonshine and has deteriorated into some sort of warped 'shiny research object' syndrome.

Let this be a warning to newbies about the dangers of grandmothers.

Its our way of letting him know he's asking the wrong question, each of us got the same kind of responses when we started out too. Its how Warriors play, and if he is one ten years from now , he will probably play the same way.

The question is posed as if there is some sort of magic bean... but there isnt, just hard marketing work...nobody has a hit for free, no matter what day they post on.

Even myself, if I dont follow the formula they flop. I can sell 600 copies one campaign that I did the groundwork for, and not even 20 copies on another when I didnt do the ground work.

A wso in and of itself doesnt work unless you are happy making ten sales in a month. Its the things you do to spread awareness before release that matter. When the coals are white hot because you have raised awareness to its peak, then lay the wso down on them. Thats the time thats best.

Otherwise you must find ways to drive traffic to them such as email lists or google adwords...

So the time to release a wso is when you are prepared to send traffic to it.

Thats either by having a majorly hot thread where people are begging yuou to relaease one and you have thousands of views, or its for whatever time you are ready to send your email list to it, or your jv partners email list... or place your google ad.... WSO's do not work like magic, the only real significant traffic you get is the traffic you send.

A benefit though ias that they DO get better search engine love than many webpages, but that isnt going to create the initial spike you are looking for, only sales here and there over the long haul.

Although tuesdays and thursdays seem to be the best day to do list them...its a huge generalization, and there is more involved than just listing something.

Every time I see this question pop up on the forum, I think about how my father once drunkenly went John Madden on me while trying to explain what Great Football (American NFL) was.

"You see... Great Football is when, uh, is when great football players are playing great football in a great football stadium, in a great football city..."

Um, what!?

So essentially the best time to launch a WSO is during the best day of the week, during the best hour of the day... which only those who launch the best WSO's know of!

It's like asking "why are you drinking a beer at 2 in the afternoon?!" The best reply is always... "it's five o'clock somewhere!"
