Can You Really Make Money from a WF Sig?

Can a Warrior Forum signature actually bring in money? Short answer - yes it can. Here's my experience.

PROBLEM
With the economic downturn, sales are slumping, so like many on this forum, I wanted a little extra bump in cash flow.

Over the past 10 years I've written a lot of articles, many of them for earlier websites and newsletters that I've since phased out. Good material, but mostly unused now.

So first question - what do you do with articles that have already seen the light of day? You can't sell them as PLR... can you?

Then again, why not? With even the most virgin of PLR material, once that first set is sold, they're virgin no longer, anyway. So... why not consider myself merely the first user? That way, 49 other people could get good use from them also, and at a good price.

SOLUTION
Combing through my files, I found 95 articles ranging in length from 350 to nearly 4,000 words.

I divided them into:
* 1 set of 12 articles to give away as samples
* 3 sets of 20 articles - price $20 each
* all 60 articles plus 23 as bonus - price $60 total

I set up an opt-in form to give away the free sample 12 pak. And on the download page, I posted descriptions and order links for the 3 PLR sets, plus the big set of all 83 articles.

Then I created a new signature here at the Warrior Forum, and without ever mentioning anything about the PLR offer, continued my usual posting activities. I deliberately kept everyhing low key and un-hypey.

RESULT
With no particular sales effort, I've received 82 opt-ins and made 4 sales over the past 3 weeks. That's a 5% conversion rate.

Of the 4 sales, one was for a $20 pack (20 articles), and the other 3 were for the full $60 pack (all 83 articles).

Total sales - $200 with virtually no promotion effort.

I should note one factor that may have affected sales. The subject matter. Since the Warrior Forum specializes in Internet marketing, hotter markets such as investing, health care, dating, etc. might have attracted more response. Still, sales came in, and the free PLR 12-pak is still being downloaded.

A conversion ratio of 5% makes it worthwhile to continue.

CONCLUSION
These are only short-term results, but yes, it appears possible to use your WF signature to make money. And fairly quickly. Choosing a desirable niche, then adding a little promotional work should produce a nice little spike in sales.
