How Do you Guys Come Up with the Ideas to Write your WSO's?

Anytime a subscriber asks me a question and it involves an elaborate answer I will take that question and turn it into a product...

I also look for ways to better by business and when I find ways - I turn it into a WSO...

What solved my problem, there is where I write about it.

Many people take threads in the forum, break them down, expand on them, then sell them as a WSO. You would be amazed at how many WSOs are actually from free information in this forum and others that has been expanded and reorganized to make it easier to use.

You can look at your skills sets or what you know that others want to know and share it. You can share what's working for you (or you've recommended to others) -- as Brandon and Coby said.

I've not seen it first hand but can well believe it... but... is there anything wrong with that if it saves people the time to search and they CHOOSE to buy? Not saying that you said there was something wrong with it!

I don't come up with ideas for WSOs.

I just create information products based on things that have worked for me and sometimes I think "hey, my friends at the WF might also enjoy this" then I run a WSO.

I've never created a WSO for a product with the WSO being the reason for it.

There does seem to be a trend here these days though that focuses on WSOs thinking that getting money from warriors is like shooting fish in a barrel so I'm sure there are some interesting strategies for doing it.

People tend to have areas that they are interested in and good at. At least I do and that's where I put my focus for my WSOs or products. It's not likely that I would just up and write an ebook on How to Make Money Online or SEO ... those aren't my areas of expertise. I think too many new people just jump on the MMO bandwagon because all of the big boys have made so much money. Their products are lacking experience and knowledge of the niche and most likely, are just rehashed from stuff they found for free all over the Net.

I've bought some amazing products from people who are actually experts in the field that they are writing about. It makes a huge difference.

Few methods:

1. Participate in the discussion here, and see the common problem people face.

2. Check out WSO forum, and see the current solution people offer. Find if there is any niche, product that you can create better stuffs

3. Check out other marketer's offers, launches, promos that is done out of WF, and see whether you can create better or cost effective solution.

There you go, 3 simple ways :-)

I haven't run dozens of WSOs as others have, but I do have lots of products.

With WSOs, I look at something I've created, and think: "That would be wonderful for some of my fellow Warriors... It would solve this problem (describe the problem) that Warriors have."

If you want to come up with WSOs, think about the various audiences on the WF. You have total beginners, people who are making some money and want to make more, and people who are making great money and need to stay aware of what's currently happening in IM.

You need to USE what you know. You can sell anything you've learned how to do successfully as a WSO.

For example, let's say you're into article marketing and are learning how it works. You're submitting your articles hither and yon. Just track what you do. If you have a success, document it. Same with any failures -- document them, too. You'll come up with lots of product ideas, just based on what you know.

Tip: your failures are more important than your successes...

Another example, which relates directly to your question. I assume you're thinking about creating your own WSO. Just document what you do -- everything you do as you learn about Internet marketing. Then, from what you learn, create your first WSO.

By the time you've run three WSOs, you'll have a huge archive of material, suitable for at least another couple of WSOs. :-)

I've been writing books and ebooks for years. I get the material by documenting what I do. I teach writing and money-making skills, so I get to document what my students do too...

You can do the same. DOCUMENT everything you do. Once you start writing everything down:

* You'll remember more of what you do;

* You'll get more ideas;

* You'll get inspired.

When you create products you're making something exist where nothing existed before. And, because you're thoughtful, you can help others with what you've learned. You'll find, I'm sure, that this is highly satisfying.

My successful IM/Offline experiences. That's all.

I find something I'm doing that is making me money and I make a product. If there is a trick I have been using that I don't see being talked about much, it may make a good product.

Another option is to scan this forum and look for questions and find the answers. If you want to make a quality product, take some time to test out the answers though... make sure you are giving good answers from first hand experience if you want a quality product your buyers will love.

Never think of making a WSO just for making your own profit !!

If you want to make a WSO then make something which could be equally usefull for WSO buyer too

Whatever you think is a problem solver or you think which made you quick bucks then it could be converted into a WSO.

This article is about wikipedia but I think it applies in many places on the web:

The Top 10 Reasons Students Cannot Cite or Rely On Wikipedia

I was looking for an article I read where these Irish students posted some false information and it spread over the net and got picked up and repeated so often it must have been true. But it wasn't.

Anything that has worked for me and can help others.

Failing that... picks and shovels.
