Question on PLR WSOs

by Doug Wakefield
8 replies
I have noticed a trend with many PLR article WSOs.

In many cases these WSOs tend to get a high amount of views, but little amount of replies and comments. While this doesn't necessarily affect sales in any ways, it is hard to really gauge a successful PLR WSO to get as a model to build towards.

The question I really want to ask PLR WSO sellers is, are you receiving a decent amount of sales on your offer?

Decent is relative, I know, but in general... would you release another one based upon the results of the first?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

    I sell PLR niche blogs and they do very well, but as far as PLR WSOs ... I'm always looking for good PLR content but I rarely leave a comment when I buy.

    I'm running a PLR WSO at the moment and must say that I haven't had any replies from buyers, but I have still been getting sales. Not as many as I'd like but I am getting them. I think the problem, as with any WSO these days, is that there are so many WSO's now that your listing is often pushed off the first page within one day, sometimes within a few hours.

    Then there are also so many WSO's with the promise of riches that these are the one's I think that get snapped up faster.

    You still get sales with PLR WSO's and they are probably the good value WSO's, but yeah you don't get too many comments.

    If I may make a suggestion - take it or leave it, of course - you might do better if you give some of your PLR articles away in the WSO in exchange for each person's email address. Build a list that you can then go back to over and over whenever you have a new pack of articles to sell.

    Want to take it a step farther and pay for your WSO bumps in the process? Put up an OTO (One-Time Offer) page after someone submits their email address to get your freebie, but before they get the confirmation email. Say you're giving away 5 PLR articles about dogs. Offer 5-10 more in the OTO for a reduced price. The lower, the better in terms of conversion rate for you. If you get 20 people added to your list and 4-5 of them buy your OTO, you will probably pay for your WSO and the subsequent bumps. Then you just keep bumping and growing your list. Go back to the list again and again and as long as you're giving them high quality PLR articles, you'll develop a growing core of repeat customers.

    There you go. That's a $7 WSO ebook from me - free of charge.

    Thanx John. Quality content as always. If anyone reading this is wanting to improve their article/PLR writing skills may I suggest you take John's course (zeus66). I've taken both of the WSO's above and cannot praise them enough.

    I've paid alot more and got alot less for info in the past so I highly recommend them.

    EXCELLENT advice from John.

    One thing to add - make SURE your OTO is *relevant* to your original offering.

    John's comments follow this, but I've seen offers that have NOTHING to do with what got people there...

    You CAN think outside the box here, but make it a logical connection, not a huge leap or your (IMHO) sales will be much lower.

    Agreed. Social acceptance is powerful. If people post "hey, I just got this" it tends to make others want to get it.

    Don't believe me? Pick any WSO. Scan it. You'll probably be more motivated to buy if you see lots of "just got this" posts vs a possibly superior offering that has fewer responses.

      Your plan was not too far off from the plan I had to launch things, John.

      I had intended to pack up a group of 10, sell them for a couple bucks, collecting the email address as I went along as the whole point was to actually build a business (on top of using my aweber account that I pay for and don't do anything with).

      I am going to nab your one time offer idea, though. Thats something I never really thought about doing, and it does make a lot of sense.

      I already have resources in place to allow me to scale things a bit, such as a website that I had set up for ghostwriting that can easily be converted to sell the packets and reports. I had set this site up as an emergency plan, in case I happened to lose my job... but I should be using it to escape that same job instead.

      Of course, the whole issue is to actually see things through... which is why I am in the position of wanting/needing to sell PLR packets in the short term to make ends meet.

      Thanks a bunch for your responses. Ill definitely keep your ideas in mind as I get my articles set up and ready to go to launch on a rare pair of days off later this week.
