Hi!

I have noticed that many of WSO's are selling like H**L! For example " over 2400 copies sold in two week" etc.

But how do the WSO affiliate program work? Do the affiliates get paid manually or automticly? And how are the affiliates recruited?

Is it also possible to sell the WSO's from a sales page?

I'm working on a ebook about PPC, and I hope this will sell if I list it on the WSO forum. Is it any market for PPC ebooks on the WSO?

And is it easyer to sell ebooks on the wso forum than with ClickBank?


Thank you for reading.

Best regards,

Jimmy

    You've got to sign up for Warrior Plus to sell a WSO.

    Some offer affiliates 100% commission straight to your paypal account, some offer 70%, some 50% and so on.

    I believe I pay $3.99 a month for Warrior Plus. You have to send a request to the program owner in order to promote their offer. In short they have to approve you as an affiliate. Most get right back to you ...in less than 24 hours.

    I bought a report from Maria Gudelis a while back called the Minority Report...here's the link to it in the WSO section: The Minority Report

    It picked apart the top 77 WSO's of the day to give us an idea of what sells on the forum and what affiliates love to promote. You might want to check that out for research purposes to get an idea of how your PPC book would do here.

      That is 100%, absolutely FALSE!

      It's a common misconception...sorry, MUCH TOO COMMON misconception...but the Warrior Forum and Warrior Plus are NOT, repeat NOT associated with one another. Both are independent entities.

      The Warrior Forum does not officially endorse Warrior Plus, but it does nothing to stop the confusion, so whether it wishes to admit it or not, there is a VERY STRONG de facto endorsement.

      Anyway, you do NOT have to, and NEVER had to use Warrior Plus to sell a WSO.

      All the best,

        Hi Michael,

        It probably should of been worded differently, however I think the answer RE: "Selling" a WSO was addressing how to become an affiliate and "sell" the WSO as an affiliate. In which case the most common way is via Warriorplus. And Allen does or at least did at one time endorse Warrior Plus, saying in fact that he felt it was so good, he should make it mandatory to use it to run a WSO, but he wouldn't do that. It's clear that it's not owned by Allen, while at the same time it's also clear that he likes it, or did at one time, never retracting his statements about it.

        Michael,

        I know you were excited, but you never said WHAT was wrong with the statement.

        Yes, Warrior Forum and Warrior Plus are not related, and you do not have to be a Warrior Plus member to sell a WSO.

        But to affiliate with many of the WSO sellers, you will need to be subscribed to the Warrior Plus Affiliate Program at $3.99 per month.

        Other sites also handle affiliate sales for WSO's, including DigiResults.

        But in order to access the affiliate program on mine and Sam England's WSO's, you must be three things:
        1. An authorized affiliate of Warrior Plus;
        2. Someone with a verifiable track record; and
        3. Someone who sells from a list, instead of from a website.

        We have to protect ourselves from shady affiliates, and these are the criteria we follow to do that.

    Hi Jimmy,

    If you identify a problem or some issue reg PPC and if you have a solution to that,
    then you will sell.
    Give a good salescopy and your ROI will be huge (possible at least)

    Your affiliates will be paid automatic and directly through Warriorplus. No need for you as a seller to interfere.
    And of course, you can sell your WSO from a salespage too.
    Just make sure you read the rules when it comes to launching a WSO and you will be good.

    Getting a WarriorPlus account to promote WSO's as an affiliate will give you lots of very valuable data about what sells and what doesn't sell as a WSO. It's an essential investment for anyone selling anything on the WarriorForum in my opinion simply because of this.

    The point is that you do NOT have to use Warrior Plus to sell a WSO.

    That's what made the statement wrong.

    Now, there may be good reasons for using it, but it is NOT a requirement.

    As of now, the only requirements--apart from following the rules--I'm aware of are being a War Room member and paying the WSO listing fee.

    So, even though it may be beneficial in some cases to use Warrior Plus, it is not correct to say "You've got to sign up for Warrior Plus to sell a WSO." (Emphasis added).

    However, I see what happened. The OP did ask specific questions about WSO affiliates, but I focused on one sentence in Dominique's reply. My response was meant to address only that sentence as being solitary, but I did so by ignoring the context of the thread. I still stand by my remarks based on that narrow interpretation.

    All the best,
    Michael

    I've had a couple of ultra succesful WSOs and the best WSO I ever sold has been online for more than 2 years before it managed to sell 2k+ ... so i really cannot understand how a couple of newbies are claiming to sell more than that amount in a couple of weeks only!!!
    I'm not saying that there aren't newbies who lie about their sales stats, but to give them the benefit of the doubt it's my understanding that the affiliate program has truly changed the nature of the WSO section and with the help of affiliates there are some newbies who've been able to achieve outstanding sales.

    Whereas a year ago it was rare to hear about people selling 1000+ copies of their WSO, today it seems like quite a few people are able to do that. Maria Gudelis claimed she just sold 2000 copies of her WSO in 13 hours. Obviously Maria is not a newbie, but I can see how someone without a reputation in this forum could sell 1000s of copies over the course of a month.

    OP, don't expect every WSO to sell that many copies. One look at Warrior+ and you'll see many people don't even sell 25 copies of their WSO, never mind 2500.

    It depends.

    I do know some people who did 1500+ sales, and one recently that did almost 5,000 copies...

    Yet these were not done by newbies at all.

    Go into Warrior Plus and sort WSO's by Number Sold - descending...

    Then look at the people who have X,XXX+ Sold in their headlines. Most of the people making those claims are honest folks, who know they could get busted if they lied.

    Then look to see who is between each of those break points to see the truth of the matter.

    I actually did this exercise a couple weeks back. It was very enlightening.

    The thing that makes it hard to know the truth is also the thing that makes it easy for people to lie. Warrior Plus stops showing you how many once the WSO hits 100+.
