A few questions on releasing WSOs - ALL RESPONSES WELCOME!

1 - I would try doing this product as a wso as there are probably people on this forum who are already interested in getting involved in the writing business.

Your product sounds very good, as I am interested myself. Would be great to know of some good writers who we can outsource work to for our clients.

2 - You could try a dimesale where for every sale the price goes up a certain number of cents - this would encourage people to buy before the price goes too high. Also would be good to do a one time offer.

3 - Yes you can have affiliates promote your product wherever you decide to sell it.
Others would probably know exactly how to go about this.

4 - After a while of selling your wso for a price - you certainly can give it away for free to build a list. Simply have a button saying free which would link to your squeeze page. You can then say on your free wso thread "This was once a paid wso that was selling for (price) and sold (number) of copies - Now it is Free"

When you mention it was a paid wso and now it is free, it will look more valuable, encouraging people even more to get on your list to get this free wso.

5 - One tip is to do a free wso first to get some subscribers on your list, then when you sell your paid wso - you can then also tell the people on your list about your paid wso.

1. There have been several WSOs showing this - check the responses and stats at Warrior+ and JVZoo to see approximate sales figures but so long as you've got an angle, it should work.

2. Price - if it's your first WSO, check what similar products have sold for but typical range is anything from free to just under $20

3. Affiliates seem to find me easier on Warrior+ and they instinctively smell money (sales!). Initial recruitment: never done it personally, always used my list and then let the sales do the talking.

4. You could do but like everything else there's not much traffic beyond the first page or two of the WSO section unless it's you or an affiliate driving it. Some people have had success with sending solo ad traffic to WSOs

5. Several WSOs on how to launch a WSO or check out the link in this signature

1. JVZoo and/or WSO. There are a few 'service arbitrage' systems that show how to find services writing/design/seo cheap from one supplier (fiverr/iwriter/odesk) and then resell at a higher price to a different market (WF/Craigslist).

2. Multiple products
ebook - dimesale to $7
Complete system describes everything you need to know.

upsell - $27
Real case studies show exactly how others did it using the system- everything revealed + My super secret private list of ACTUAL SERVICE providers you can use starting right away

downsell - $17 Just the secret resources (no case studies)

3. Yes, in WSO or JVZoo. Contact possible JV's. Start a 'pre-launch' opt-in list. Offer 100% commission on the front end. Have an affiliate sign-up page.

4. You don't need to give it away for free to get sign-ups. You can start your prospect list with 'pre-launch' sign-ups. Running the offer you can add buyers to your buyers list. Use an exit-pop or squeeze page before the sales page to capture leads.

5. THIS!

I would recommend listing it on the Warrior Forum, because you would get free traffic. Unless spending money on traffic is not a big issue for you. Even so, this is a great place to have your offer, since this site gets so much traffic

Thank-You VERY Much for all of the answers, some of them are so in depth! Thanks!

get testimonials by selling review copies. add these testimonials to your sales copy.

Have your paid costumers go through an opt-in form to access the product (building a buyers list)

in the download area/members area - have a link to a JV section promoting your affiliate program. provide email swipes and banners. and maybe do a contest.

give out 100% commissions and 50% commission on the upsell. (whats in it for you? building a buyers list)

Unfortunately there is no guarantee with WSO's. You can put all your ducks in line but you won't know until you launch it. The biggest thing I would concentrate on is your product quality and getting big affiliates lined up to promote it. Those are the things that will make the biggest difference.

Before you choose a platform to launch your offer on, you
might want to check out what they have chosen as WSO's
of the Day's because that will give you an indication of the
types of offers the affiliates on the platform tend to promote.

Bottom line: Choose your platform where you are most likely
to pick up the most affiliates for what you are about to offer:-)
