Resolved: Being a WSO Affiliate is Entering into a Saturated Market

I bought a WSO recently that played up the potential income that can be earned by buying solo email ads to promote other Warriors' WSOs. The video made it sound so simple...and so profitable, that I became quite excited and eager to get started.

But I have a concern. Before, I had wondered why I would get marketed the same WSO over and over again by Warriors whose list I was on. I finally realized what was happening: they were marketing the product the first time through their own affiliate link, then the second or third time through someone else's link which means, I assume, they also made money running a solo ad for another affiliate of the same product.

Which leads me to worry, before I buy a solo Ad, is this a situation where I buy an ad to market a product to an audience who has already received several pitches on the same product? And the only people really making money off of this are those Warriors who already have their own list?

I think it's a fair question: is the WSO Pro affiliate market basically oversaturated?

    Write27,

    That is a good question and I would like to provide you just a little food for thought here. I purchased the same WSO or a similar one that you describe. After reviewing the report I got an aha moment. My aha moment came from thinking outside the box.

    The majority of the subscribers on these lists would have to be internet marketers just like us and we all are always looking for the next big thing. Using these solo ads will bring you a targeted audience at the fraction of the price of running WSOs or using some other method of getting subscribers.

    Once you have built you a nice base of subscribers you don't need to market WSOs to them. It is like you said above they have already been marketed to many times before. Instead you market CPA offers, Clickbank offers, etc. to them as long as it fits the internet marketing arena. I would like to make you aware of one thing here. You don't want to just pound your list of subscribers with offer after offer, but instead provide them with free valuable information 2 or 3 times before sending them an offer. I personally unsubscribe to lists that send me offers everyday, but if they provide me useful information regularly I will stay on their list.

    Don't be afraid to PM me if you have any questions.

    To Your Success,

    Michael

    If this course teaches you to actually buy a solo ad and have the person you purchased from mail your affiliate link to their list for a WSO it seems destined to fail (but who knows you might get lucky)

    1) This cuts into any profit you would make so to get your money back you would have to sell many units.

    2) You're not capturing anyone's email address, so the next time you do this (if your first one was profitable) you're rolling the dice again.

    A failed mailing would likely eliminate any profit from your prior effort.

    No market is oversaturated, you just need to find creative ways to compete.

      Just a quick question, if you don't mind: how would I capture their email address? Send them to my own squeeze page first?
