thinking of making a WSO

8 replies
I am thinking of making a WSO and would like to know what I need to buy and how much it is to be able to list a WSO successfully. I want to know what subscriptions/memberships I need and any other things to make it really successful. I hear a lot that even if the product is good it will still fail if you don't have a good sales letter. any advice will be really appreciated.

    Heh, it's not just the sales letter, its:
    • Who knows you
    • Who is willing to promote your affiliate link
    In my personal experience, short report WSOs work far better than big huge thingees (again, my personal experience).

    For example,

    [deleted]

    has over 100 pages and is a complete blueprint. Because it's so comprehensive, I've been told...it scared people off. Took me 3 days or so to write it.

    [deleted]

    however, which took me 90 minutes to write and is around 30 pages or so, sold hundreds.

    Go figure.

    Next, you'll have a far better chance of success if people actively promote your products. Methinks the Black Friday thingee sold so well because big name peoples are now promoting my affiliate links.

    So it's not at all *just* about your content *or* your sales letter...it's who you know and at what level you write.

    Hope that helps!

    I would say just go for it IMdude123. Whether it's a success or not you have something to learn from and improve on for next time. If you do it right you will also have a few leads from your first WSO that will be interested in your future WSOs.

    Yes, you need to spend some time and build credibility.

    but what do I need to spend?
    do I need buy by membership to the war room?
    do I need to pay to put a thread there?
    should I get WSOplus?

      $37 for War Room membership (compulsory) and $40 to list a WSO. So you're looking at a $77 minimum, really (but War Room membership lasts for 20 years and is worth a fortune in its own right, so it isn't really just a "WSO-listing expense", albeit that it still has to paid).

      "Bumping" your WSO (allowed after it's dropped to page 3 or lower) also costs $40 per "bump".

      That's not affiliated to or connected with the forum at all (in spite of its name apparently suggesting otherwise). It's a private, separate company. But if you want to have affiliates for your WSO, you can do that through either DigiResults, or WSO Plus.

      "Review copies" may be given away through an announcement in this part of the forum, which costs $5 (have a look through some of the "Reviewers Wanted" threads there, and you'll get the idea).

      Again, I think you'd be well advised to read very carefully either this thread or any one of 100 others like it, before even thinking about a WSO.

    I think what I might do is give out some review copies (once I have finished writing it) and if I get good feedback then I will sell it if I don't then I will remake it and give out more review copies.

    You can ask for reviewer eyes here -> Wanted - Members Looking To Hire You

    You can find the best answers to your questions at the WSO rules link Alexa has shared a few posts above.

    WSOplus is optional.

    Cheers.
