[PLEASE SHARE] How's Your WSO Campaign Performance?

Hi Angela,
thanks for your reply.

yes, I agree that NO replies does NOT equal NO sales.
But what about the "Views"?
I really think that the views counter is real time.. (I try to refresh the main page and it keeps on changing each time).. don't you think so?

Thanks all for the reply, still looking for more


Cheers,
Oki

Cool Idea guys! First off, while there are many cool things about the new forum one of the things that sucks is that we have to repost our WSO and lose all of the status from the replies. I know that is one of the factors I look at when I am looking at WSOs.

With that said, my latest WSO which is at Custom Videos WSO has done over 2k this weekend so I can't really complain, but there are still things that could be done to improve the forum.

Have a good one

Gregg

Hi Oki,

I've run various types of WSO and my comments are:


The results seem to depend on 3 basic things:

1 - Do people know you and accept that you are the right person to buy your offer from?

There are so many generic WSOs from people who are not experts at anything and are just looking for 'anything' to sell as a WSO that people now tend to avoid offers that come from people they don't know unless it is a no-brainer.

2 - Are you providing proof of whatever you're claiming in the WSO?

This is the main one in my experience.

If you're claiming that your product/service will help get people more of something (traffic, links, revenue), they will expect to see some evidence to support the expectation you're setting about the results.

I ran a WSO once showing people how to get indexed quickly and get traffic immediately to a new blog. Rather than just describe the strategy, I bought a new domain and made a video of me setting up a blog in the way I knew would work. So obviously when people watched the video and saw the dates on the domain and the traffic stats in my server logs, there's no question that I've done what I'm talking about and that it works and can be duplicated.

If I had just sold a report describing the strategy, maybe I would've made a couple of hundred bucks, but as it was I made around $3500.

If you don't provide evidence that what you're saying works, you can expect poor sales.


This goes even more so for PLR products. There's such a mass of people trying to come up with PLR stuff to sell that often it's old PLR material that has been rehashed and is being offered as something 'new'. This goes against the WSO tos, but people seem to think that because you changed a few words and graphics that it now qualifies as a unique new product.

So if you're intending to sell PLR products - consider this:

People looking for PLR products are expecting that you will have done the necessary research before creating it. We've all seen the sales copy "I've saved you thousands of dollars and weeks of research by creating this product for you", but in most cases there was no research done, except to see if warriors might buy the product. So instead of getting a product that you would've created to supply a demand in the market, you get a generic piece of content based on plagurism of freely available material that was never created based on research into what that market wanted - or why. So usually it's a waste of time and money and results in many people thinking the PLR concept is BS because they don't see decent results.

If you break that pattern and do the proper work and provide evidence - you can do very well selling PLR.

3 - Is it clear what your offer is for?

Too many WSOs now have no actual information about what is being offered and are nothing more than a generic sales pitch which leaves so much to the imagination that you have no idea what it is on offer.


How much you can make, how quickly and with which products are really down to whether you're doing it to help people by bringing them useful resources, or whether it's all about you and trying to make money.

I bought a WSO today that had a ton of great stuff in it that I haven't seen before. I bought it because I like supporting warriors and because it was a long standing warrior, but I didn't really expect to learn much since I've been around a long time and do a lot of research, but was pleasantly surprised by what I bought and posted my positive feelings in the wso thread.

Often I buy WSOs but never post in the thread, so you can't judge the success of other peoples WSOs by the posts in the thread. Very often I've sold 100 of something and only had 2 or 3 posts in the WSO thread.

So, in summary - I think if you're genuinely bringing people value and you can back it up - you should do well.

There are a lot of people thinking of the WSO section as an easy place to sell any old rubbish to make money and charging people for a report which is nothing more than information available in threads of this forum already, so if you stand out above the noise and can keep creating value, you can do well.

Remember though that the WSO forum is not supposed to be the only place you sell your products. In fact, the opposite, it's supposed to be somewhere that you make a special offer for something that is available already but not at such a good price. But with that said, it's also a great place to get a few early testimonials to go on your main sales page and get feedback to develop your product.

If you try and just make your money by milking the WSO section and your focus is not on providing real value, you'll end up desperately creating WSOs for the sake of it to try and keep the money coming. Focus on the value and people will be knocking on your door for more stuff.

Ok! Thats Great!

Thanks Allen.

I did wonder how Jose was getting away with it, I look forward to the beer mugs coming back although I hope it'll be better and help prevent all the spam that we received the last time, and sometimes I still do receive the odd spam email!

Anyway, sorry, were was I? (Back on track me thinks!)

Thanks
Mark

Not done any WSO's yet!

But I think there's more to them than just making some money- its known as making "Relationships"

i would like to have 2 raving fans per day instead of havinf 50 new customers!

Why?

Because these are the poeple that will be real close to meand I can hope to grow together with them! We grow together... Help each other forever!

With that said- Customers are obviosly the lifeline of any business so obviously I would like to have those 50 customers as well!
