Not bad, quite a lot of opt-ins, must have been a product everyone wanted! That is really the key, offer something everyone wants and you will get tons of opt-ins.

I'm a bigger fan of creating buyer lists with the WSO forum by selling cheap products. I've seen people build great, very responsive buyers lists selling $1 products.

Freebie lists do work though! Great way to get tons of people in your funnel. As long as you take the time to nurture the list, many of the freebie seekers will become buyers anyways!

Just be sure you are offering them quality or you'll start losing them as fast as you gained them. (Not saying you aren't, just a general tip for anyone hoping to use the strategy.)

I'm interested in learning just how much a $1 WSO list outperforms a free WSO list -- if at all.

I can certainly see the reasoning behind it but, when it comes to the WF and the WSO section, I'm not sure there is all that big of a difference between one person looking for a freebie and another willing to spend $1 on a report.

Thanks

Though, WSO freebie lists generally do better than regular freebie lists from what I've seen just because so many people go into the WSO section with their credit card or paypal at the ready.

Well done, it is great that you used your initiative and took action. I can see the benefits of both a free and a $1 WSO although more people may generally look into the free thread to see what they can get! With the $1 WSO your title needs to be more attractive.

I use the crap outta free (and of course paid too) WSOs and they are awesome once you get the hang of them...

I often advise my students to start off with a Free WSO...

I have over 30K subscribers and a good percentage are directly from this forum

Free WSOs not only allow you to build a list but you also BRAND YOURSELF as someone who gives out quality information...

I used the free WSO strategy to build up my list and reputation prior to releasing paid WSOs and I still utilize free WSOs by re-bumping them and I always gain 60+ subscribers (I have friends that have received over 1000 subscribers with this method).

WOW! What a great way to use the WSO section.

In fact, I am considering doing something similar as it will be one of my first products I am planning to create in the IM niche (I got five years experience under my belt now) but I am little stuck on what is HOT right now in the IM niche..

What was your book about if you don't mind saying it

I think what is really HOT these days are webinars, amazon sites and kindles, right?

That is awesome dude...Im definitely going to try this...Got a few questions:

1) Did you ask for opt-in before or after they saw your free product?
2) Did you offer for sale the clickbank product in the autoresponder or in your free ebook?

Thanks for the tip...seriously I'm going to do this and share my story to.

That's pretty cool, congrats. I've always planned on doing something similar but I keep putting it off in favor of other projects, I'll have to get on that.

I wonder if anybody has tested the difference between offering a free WSO and giving something for free in the war room. I'd be willing to bet that you can get a lot of subscribers in there and they've already dished out $40 for the war room so it wouldn't necessarily be all freebie seekers.

In the war room you cant force an optin to download a product. You would have to recommend signing up to receive updates ect.

  So now I'm confuse...is the guy who posted this banned? If thats the case then is his story even valid? That could also speak volume to how valuable being on here is...
  
  Mr Hames has been banned here repeatedly in the past. Has nothing to do with the content of this thread.
  
  Assume nothing from seeing the word Banned beneath someone's name other than that their account is prohibited from posting in the forum for some length of time.

  It's probably worth nothing, though, that "Steven" has had problems fulfilling a WSO:
  
  http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...re-earner.html
  
  And may not have been all that truthful with claims he was buying up domains:
  
  http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...-buy-them.html
  
  I doubted his veracity before he was banned.
