CPA vs Selling WSO's

Why not do both,

I make the vast majority of my income through CPA but also run the odd WSO now and then as well. Moreso to give back to the community than to earn an income but you can make decent money.

If you are looking into product creation then don't just look at wso's, yes you immediately have a sizeable market but the vast majority of people who surf that particular forum are looking for a magic pill and are used to paying next to nothing for products so if you produce something of quality you are going to sell yourself short.

Also what sort of skills do you have at the moment? what is currently producing your income? only produce wso's if you have something of quality to share.

It depends on your passion and level of knowledge. I would say that CPA is often the fastest and easy routes to makign money online - IF you follow a proven blueprint. Otherwise you coudl waste a LOT of money and time.

The mistake I see people make with WSO's is they think the WF is the "be all and end all" for their product creation endeavours whereas the WF should really only be seen as a testing ground for your product. The real BIG money is to made launched outside the WF.

My advice would be to focus on the CPA method and become very good at it then you will have plenty of content foir some killer WSO's.

Hope this helps.

Product creation and selling your own product is a notch above CPA. In CPA you're promoting others and you take a commission, shared at that, between you and the network. For reasons that I do not want to go into now, you may not even get the entire commission that you're entitled to. Moreover, when the promotion stops they don't really need you.

Product creation makes you an owner of a product which you can sell and/or get affiliates to promote. You are using the leverage of others to make you income and depending upon the content and the niche, can keep bringing you income forever. When the sales for your product dip you can launch new versions of it and aim at even greater sales. You can keep launching products in the same niche or different niches.

Hence product creation is better than CPA especially for the long term although CPA can bring you huge profits if done well.

If you do CPA or any Affiliate marketing online, your just simply buying leads to help the Advertiser or Product creator make more money.

There's nothing wrong with that, you still get commissions you generated. But you don't have a complete control on landing pages, pricing and other stuff. At the same time, you don't need to handle the customer support. There's are Pro's and Con's of being publisher and advertiser.

Now, in your post, which one you should go, I don't know, the only person capable of knowing that is YOU.

I suggest start with one method first, and don't try to jump from one project to another one.

The multiple streams of income can be very lucrative but when you just starting out, just stick with one method.

Slow down, let go of the high emotions and unrealistic expectations and give yourself a real chance.

If you are new to IM how can you possibly sell WSO's? Unless you have some skill or knowledge set that is valuable to webmasters?

Focus on one method and stay on it until you see results. You say you are interested in CPA,
persist and see how it goes for you. If it goes well and you earn money, you can consolidate
what you've learned, your process, and sell as a WSO.

You can't just be a "WSO Seller". Need to have something to sell first, something people
would be interested in buying or it won't work well.

Its best to promote CPA offers than be a GURU.

As someone who has been successful in both areas, here are my two cents.

Creating and selling WSOs has HUGE potential to make a lot of money. The biggest benefit is that you can build a big list of buyers in the process so you can ensure yourself of long-term income as well. However, you need to go about everything the right way or your WSO will be hung out to dry. Don't think that you will be able to make a whole bunch of money off of forum traffic alone. Trust me, even though there are thousands of people on the WSO section at any given moment, the traffic converts horribly in comparison with email traffic. I'm not saying it's impossible to make good money off of forum traffic, but you are going to need one heck of a sales page. That is why it is important to recruit affiliates, which is possibly the hardest part of launching a WSO. The big name affiliates will not promote a bad product, bad sales page, or something that will not make them a good amount of commissions. You will also be competing with other vendors that will be trying to recruit the same affiliates. In addition, if your WSO is successful, you will be dealing with a lot of questions, comments, and support issues. You really need to have a genuine will to help people out, or creating WSOs is going to be stressful for you. That is also why you need a good amount of knowledge and actually practice what you preach if you want people to trust and believe in your product. If you are willing to deal with all of that and are truly interested in helping people out, creating WSOs can be one of the most rewarding experiences you can go through.

On the other hand, you can go about CPA in countless ways if you want. PPC, PPV, SEO, social media, etc. You can invest as little or as much time as you want, and your end results will reflect it. You have the potential to make a lot of money really fast with CPA as well, but it is going to require a lot of testing if you want to keep your income coming in long-term. Like any other internet marketing niche, you will need to learn a lot and do a significant amount of research if you want to make it a long-term business model. If you are using PPV or PPC traffic, you will be spend hours, days, even weeks and months testing EVERYTHING to optimize your conversions and maximize your earnings. If you use SEO for traffic, you need to be patient and be aware of Google's constant changes. Also, you won't have to deal with customers if you are not really a people person.

Both have the potential to give you short and long-term income, but like anything else, you will have to dedicate yourself to learning how to approach things the right way or you can end up frustrated and broker than you started.
