Do You Wonder What Happens to WSO's?

15 replies
Hi Warriors,

I was going through some past threads in the WSO forum (not too far back- maybe a month or two) and I wanted to buy the product but the 'Pay Button' says "Closed".

This happened to me 3 times and I got to thinking, "What happens to those WSO's?" Do they disapear into a Warrior vacuum, like some type of black hole sucks products into an eternal archive?

Can I contact the Warrior (creator) and they will sell me a copy of the product on the side, like some shady watch dealer out of his van on the corners of Cleveland ave and 33rd street?

What happens to WSO's after they close? I want to get my hands on some, like a fix. lol

Peace.

    Depends on why they were closed and who closed them. If the seller closed them, you might be able to purchase a copy by contacting them.

    If a mod closed it, it's for a good reason and it would be best not to try to buy it. If a mod closed it, you can't even comment in the thread ... the whole thread is closed.

    Sometimes a seller is offering a limited quantity and after they have sold that quantity, it is closed.

    Since WSO's are special offers, it's very much likely that these products are available outside the WF market (I mean, there's a whole IM world beside the warriorforum, yes, I know, shocking ). I would contact the seller and ask them whether they still sell the product (some might have flipped it) and at what price. They will usually send you to their regular salespage and if you're lucky they might still offer it for the old WSO price to you because you found it there.

      Thanks for the head's up! I didn't think about why a mod would close a thread and the offer. Good to know!

      There's no life outside of WF. What are you talking about! Thanks for the explanation as to where WSO's may go.

      Peace.

    If you see the word closed on a buy button the seller shut it down. The option to do that comes with Warrior Plus. Some sellers decide they're only going to sell a certain number of units and then close the offer. Other sellers close the offer for various other reasons.

    Normally WSO's (Warrior Special Offers) are products and services outside of the WF and you can get them as a special offer when the WSO is ran. Although you may not get the WSO price I would contact the WSO owner and see if they will let you have a copy.

    Of course if the WSO is closed - then they would have to arrange a discount through their main sales page.

      I don't know if it's my greedy side speaking, but why would anyone deliberately sell a limited amount of their product and shut it down? I would ride it out on the long road to glory.

        Have you ever heard of a "Limited Edition"?

        Limited is more valuable than over-saturated. There are products that become less valuable the more they are distributed.

        More experience and little bit of advanced marketing technique should explain it adequately. The WSO doesn't HAVE to be about generating sales and income. Some of them are marketing tests, others might be primarily interested in generating a little exposure and/or "buzz", or simply using the WSO as a "loss leader" to get subscribers or memberships, as an introduction to their sales funnel, maybe pick up affiliates or get on the radar of future JV partners, yada-yada-yada.

        Most of the successful ones will be available at retail price on the author's website.

        The ones that don't make that cut, for whatever reason, may be re-purposed as an autoresponder course, a series of articles, a freebie, or a bonus, or revised and extended in a 2nd edition/version, or completely rewritten or stripped down to become the core of a different product entirely.

          Wow, that was deep experience right there.

          Many variables as to why a WSO may be in the forum for only a time.

          Thanks for sharing

      Actually, the intent of a WSO is exactly the opposite. Originally, WSOs were supposed to be offers available eleswhere and discounted for Warriors.

    Just pm the seller and see what the deal is.

    It depends on what the conditions are. There are a lot of limited time WSOs... and I'm afraid this usually means you can't get a copy once a certain amount has been sold, or a certain duration of time has passed.

    Still, it's worth contacting the warrior to check.
