How do you know if an IM offer (WSO) will be very profitable or not?

When I've begun in the IM Industry, I was offered a lot of opportunities, strategies and tools to make money on the Internet and, more often than not, I've discovered more ways to lose money by spending on those products which, most of the time, didn't generate any money for me.

Now what I do is: first, I would begin by looking for WSOs that offers only what I need to make money or only what I need to increase my ROI in my niche knowing that not all of them are great. To find a good one, I need to find a reputable WSO coming from a reputable Internet Marketer.

To do that, I look at all the comments and posts from real WSO clients (WF user registered to a specific WSO) and keep note of the WSOs that has all (the most) positive comments.

Then you can look at the Internet Marketer profile that promotes the WSO. Most of the reputable Internet Marketer has more than one WSO on the forum; nothing is stopping you from making a thorough search and look at other comments within his other WSOs. This way you know that you are dealing with not only a reputable WSO but a great Internet Marketer.

Once I've found a few reputable WSOs, I look for the one that is the most compatible to my profile and goals at that moment and then I start asking questions (posts) to the Internet Marketer that posted the WSO before buying. My questions are about the kind of commitment needed, the skills needed, other expenses involved during the program, etc.

I don't spend more than 500$ for an IM coaching program, an IM tool or any other type of WSOs, and there's a lot out there that are a lot cheaper than 500$.

Once I've made my decision to buy and commit, I make sure to focus and commit long enough until I see results. I don't let myself lure by other shiny things on the internet like most new Internet marketers do and, at the end, never accomplish anything.

That's one of my tactics and it works for me. What's yours or how can I help?

    Try, try, TRY to find unbiased reviewers. Also ask very pointed question ,even take it to PM if you want to keep it private. Understanding the process of making money, allows you to gap analysis to see where a tool, object or plan can help you. Deficient in backlinks for ranking a website..there's a bunch of tools and services available. Need wordpress plugins that do x,y,z..there's a bunch of them in there as well.

    I personally look for the golden nuggets. Software developers who don't get a lot of love or plugin designers that get overlooked. You need an analytic view into what is being offered. Ask yourself will it help you achieve some sort of ROI by purchasing it. Ask whether it will help you make money in some sort of tangible way.

      Concentrate on WSO that can help/teach you on how to build a list.
      Investing on building a list, is a long term investment.
      You will not make money in the beginning, but as long as you stick to it,
      You will eventually do, once you have a big targeted list.

    Now, before you buy or commit to an IM offer (WSO), what do you do (tips) to make sure that the offer presented to you is right for you and will help you make money or make more money?
    It is all depend upon how you are generating money or what type of Your IM Business Plan is.

    For the same of example if you are generating money through adsense sites than getting WSO of IM graphics packs or WSO of offline business does not going to help you and if you are into the kindle writing business than WSO related to kindle going to help you a lot.

    Best way to know what you need in your current business plan to make money online, and see if WSO you are looking to fill that gap or help you to enhance your ability to earn money the way you are trying to earn.

      I agree Kael41, itrend and sanjaysharm, you are all saying it in your own words, focus on WSO that will make money or increase your ROI in short and long term, not on WSO that will only make you waste time and resources by taking you out of your original plan. Thank you all.

    You don't need to buy WSOs. Here is how to make money: Offer something and get traffic. More traffic - more sales. You can sell anything and can get traffic several ways like seo, social network marketing, etc. You can do the same with adsense, cpa, etc.. A WSO wont change your life, trust me.

      True, it's not imperative. But if you have something great that you believe people are willing to pay for, then go for it.

        Thanks typoo999 but I also believe that some good WSO on IM coaching can definitely help minimize my learning curve on areas that I'm not an expert on.

        As Witty says, it's not imperative for your success and Typoo999, I like your quote: "A WSO wont change your life".

    In the end it all comes down to putting a targetted offer (of course it must be quality) in front of interested people (whether they be a list, forum etc)

    ...few will want to admit it but, I'll tell it to you
    straight.

    The BEST way is experience. And, there's very
    little you can do personally to get around that
    EXCEPT try a few different things.

    In business, chances are you WILL get hosed a
    few times before you learn to avoid the water.

    Foresight isn't something you generally have
    until you've seen the ups and downs.

    ...it's just the way it is.

    However, you CAN shortcut the process a bit:

    1. Know Before Hand WHAT You Want to Do --
    many newbies go into a WSO expecting miracle
    solutions to their money problems.

    I promise you (if you haven't learned this lesson
    already)...

    there ARE no miracle solutions. Just. Hard. Work.

    And, you'll work HARDER if it's something you
    have PLANNED to do.

    2. Forget About The Majority Of The Reviews --

    The MAJORITY written out of an emotional *high*
    after a purchase, generally to either JUSTIFY the
    purchase or PRAISE the content within.

    RARELY is it a review on PERFORMANCE or the
    products effectiveness.

    It's a analysis, if you will, on the look and feel
    or quality of the product.

    ...a HUGE difference.

    ...because I've personally used money makers
    that looked like $hit and made a ton with little
    to no reviews or feedback.

    And vice versa for the more popular products.

    ...not to discredit, "this looks like it has potential"
    type of reviews -- but know the difference between
    a REAL review and an analysis of the quality of
    the product itself.

    3. Learn How 2 ContROL your OWN Emotions --

    This used to get me all the time. Not anymore. I
    am a bit more hard headed and stubborn and it's
    worked out for me because I see NO desire to
    jump from business to business.

    ...I mean *none*.

    This is one of those things that you kinda have
    to go through a few times before it eventually
    sinks into YOUR head -- not something I can
    tell you NOT to do...if that makes sense.

    Hope this helps...there standard guidlines I know
    by heart from good and bad experiences

      Thanks Glen1, but to get there, you need skills, and to get skills, I believe you need guidance and a lot of personal work. (applying what you learn for a while)

      I like what WhoIsBenjamin had to say about that and much more concerning the Thread's main question. Thanks WhoIsBenjamin I really appreciate your thoughts.

    That is a great question

    I think the most important thing is to not be fooled by prices nor product descriptions

    Constantly think critically, and keep in mind that just because something is expensive does not mean it is great. Read the reviews, see if this is something you cannot obtain for free, and most importantly, see if this is compatible with your goals.

    There are two circumstances under which I might buy a WSO:

    1. The seller is someone whose business I generally want to know about, meaning whatever they're doing is something I want on my radar (including how they run WSOs and what they sell).

    2. I was already really interested in a specific topic, and a WSO happens to come out which deals with that exact topic, and I feel like blowing a small amount of money to read it, even though I can probably learn everything I need to know about said topic for free elsewhere (not smart if you can't afford it, so "please don't try this at home.")

      Thank you Jon and Yasir,

      I like the part that you (both) said in your own words about being careful not to go outside of your own IM strategy. It's so easy to loose focus with all the nice and newly published IM courses and products that looks always better than what we are invested in at the moment.

      Keep focus guys and become an expert of your own strategy before testing another one. Sometimes, that's only what it takes for a WSO to become profitable in your business venture.

      David
