Greetings Warriors! Just a few questions here. Is WSO Pro worth the investment on a smaller item? Does it track all your visitors and so forth making that information alone worth the investment or are you better off just adding the paypal button for a small priced sale item?

What kind of information does the WSO pro system actually provide other than your sales stats?

Thanks for any insight - it is much appreciated

    Yes it is worth it.

    If you use WSO Pro you have a chance to get WSO of the day. That can mean thousands of dollars more in revenue

    Especially if you are just starting out and have no JV partners or not a big list, WSO of the Day can make all the difference.

    I think it's worth it, but if you're planning on something small-scale it could cut into your profits a bit. It tracks visitors as far as counts, and it also shows information for everyone who has purchased your product. The reporting is pretty robust, and it does pretty much everything I want it to do.

    Here's one reason why you might want to consider it, even for a low-priced product: it's the only way to be considered for WSO of the Day. If Mike selects your WSO, you'll benefit from a nice boost in sales (though he does take half as commission). Still, worth the exposure.

    Good luck with your WSO!

      If $19 is worrying you, you should not publish the WSO in the first place.

        That's true, almost a no brainer for that price.

        I will use it for my next WSO, for sure.

        That's a tad rude. Someone shouldn't post a WSO unless they're already earning more than enough to cover it all? A lot of people post their first product in the WSO section and if you're just starting out, $40 for the ad and then another $19 for WSOPro can be daunting. Especially for relatively unknown product creators because they will almost always have fewer sales than someone better known.

          Thanks Tina. I appreciate your response. I have been so busy with work I just now got a chance to review the posts. It will be my first sale and i'm not an IM guru so my product isn't "how to make loads of cash" like everyone else is putting out. It's not just going to fly off the shelves since I don't already have the instant traffic as the big guys. I don't expect a huge gain from it, however, I do hope to get some subscribers from it.

        Yeah, that was a bit rude of you.

        I only mentioned that because the OP specifically said that the WSO was a "smaller item" and I didn't know what kind of sales he or she was expecting. If you price your WSO at $5 and make only 15 sales at launch, your net profit is only $16 after the WSO fee ($40) and WSO Pro ($19). Pardon me for trying to educate the OP, since we don't know what their financial situation is.

        Personally, I have used WSO Pro for all of my WSOs and have been very happy with it.

        Thanks for all of the information guys. That's exactly what I needed to know.

        Cost is certainly not a factor. I have been buying things from the board left and right. I just wanted to know if I was getting anything above a "buy" button or more than what I could putting a tracking script in myself to make it beneficial in adding the addition cost. I can slap a pretty button and insert tracking code just as easily as any developer so if it doesn't benefit me more there would be no point. What I was trying to figure out was the additional benefits.

        But now thanks to all the valuable information provided by my friendly warriors I know that it's well worth it!

      Such valuable information! As a newbie and not having used the system I wasn't sure how it really worked. This insight is great guys. Really...thank you so much.

      If you choose to bump (relist) your WSO, you have a button that makes it easy.

      If you want the price to automatically go up based on number of sells or even sell out at a certain number, it will do that automatically for you.

      It also gives you access to getting wspro affiliates promoting your wso for a share of the profits and you could be picked for wso of the day for great exposure.

      I would recommend it if you think your wso will cover the cost of the wso listing and $19 for wspro.

    Another thing is that you have a control panel that allows you to request to become an affiliate for anyone else using the system. You can see their sales stats and conversion rates. If you start running WSOs and building a list of your own you can then easily promote other people's WSOs to your list. Many people do this effectively. --Mike

    WSO is a great piece of software, especially for the price. One of the other benefits is that your WSO gets seen in the WarriorPlus system. I get tons of sales from people clicking on my products on the WarriorPlus site.

    So its also a good way to get your WSO more visible

    And depending on your WSO, its probably only 1 or 2 conversions that will cover the cost for life

    Correct. And there is also a trial version of WSO Pro. It costs $0.01.

    The licence still costs $19, but will be paid from the earnings of the WSO once you reach $25 in sales.

    So there is no risk. If the WSO does not at least sell a few copies it is only a penny.
