Thoughts on "so called" WSO Of The Day?

I think it is a welcome development as it gives more products a chance to get that extra huge exposure that being Wso of the Day brings. Moreover, I've not really noticed a significant change in conversions as most wsos of the day still break the 1000+ sales figure.

Well my first thought was... how can you have 2 WSO's of the Day? It's like saying the Oscar goes to this person... and this person. If you have the best offer of the day then that is the best offer of the day. If you then include another then that isn't the best offer of the day, it's the second best offer of the day.

Anyways, Mike is entitled to do what he wants to do.

You also need to remember that the WSO of the Day is not always the best offer of the day because it is only ever the best WSO using Warrior Plus as their payment system. It doesn't take into account all the other WSO's launching with other payment processors.

I guess Mike is the only one with the stats and if he is still doing the Offline WSO of the Day in a few weeks time then obviously it is working well for him... and that's what counts.

I think there should only be "1" WSO of the day, online or offline.

We will eventually have "WSO of the Week", WSO of the Month and WSO of the Year" probably....

As for WSO of the day, is it an offline method for internet marketers that gets the offline wso of the day?

And for the regular WSO of the day, is it online methods and products only?

Maybe I am confused....:confused:

Honestly, i don't even look at the "500+ sold", "WSO of the day" titles, because all it takes to get to these numbers is the endorsement of other WSO sellers/affiliate marketers with reputation (not always, of course).

I've seen crappy "WSO of the day" products (rehashed, old material. As if "Captain Obvious" has made them), as well as good ones. It's like in the movie industry - if you get an Oscar, it doesn't necessarily mean that your movie was great, maybe your opposition is just crap

Actually, I really LIKE that there's a WSO of the Day for OFFLINE. It shows separation from the traditional methods of making money online. I also say "why not?" For those of us that work in the offline niche it's refreshing to see what WSO is being recognized again, for exclusively offline.

Just like in baseball, you have a Most Valuable Player award for both the National League and the American League. My only wish that NFL football would allow an MVP award in both conferences but I doubt that will never happen.

Mike Lantz, please DO NOT retire this new, innovative way in recognizing that OFFLINE is real and presents a legitimate opportunity to start a business.

What difference does it make? WSO of the Day is nothing more than the WSO that Mike Lantz believes will make him the most money by promoting it. There's nothing really special about the title.

Prestige is an attribute an individual bestows on something. While you apparently hold the WoD in high regard many others only see it as 'the promo of the day'. Nothing special about it other than the pumping, err, marketing.

Those WoDs don't have a history of being particularly outstanding, nor do they have any additional verification for their claims, if any.

What they do seem to have is the ability to make ordinarily sensible people drop their defenses regarding the prudency of due diligence before making a purchase.

One could almost make the argument that the WoD has taken the prestige out of "Of The Day".

Waiting patiently for the List Building WSO of the day...

I don't pay much attention to the "awards" system, for the same reasons others have mentioned. Further, by the time something is "... of the day," if it had been on a dimesale, the price is often more than I'm willing to take a chance on.

Lately, I've had to ask for a refund on far too many products that didn't match their respective sales letter claims.

On the other hand, for people who are buying in very specific niches -- and are as deluged with "buy this!" emails as I am -- any filter is welcomed. The repetition is getting to be a bit much, so I'm unsubscribing from most lists and keeping just a few that deliver original, interesting, and useful content.

As I unsubscribe, I'm filtering. Sometimes, that's to see which offers might be right for me.

At other times, it's to see which marketers are sending me duplicates of pre-fab sales letters. I only need one, if that.

I applaud anything that further filters recommendations so I waste less time looking at products, but I'm not sure that the "... of the day" approach is the way to go.

Actually, I don't mind it, considering many offline products are very different from online.

Now clickbank products on the other hand.. we might as well just go all academy award for those:
Best Actor
Best Supporting Actor...
etc.

It just shows that there are so many WSOs for offline stuff now. A few years back there were only WSOs for online stuff now everyone is heading offline lol.
I find a balance between online and offline suits me very well.

My thoughts are that there was NEVER any prestige with the WSO of the Day to begin with.

Why?

Because WSOs are selected for WSO of the Day based solely on how they are converting. The products are not reviewed in depth, if at all. I know this because I've talked to others who have had their WSO featured as WSO of the Day.

It's a big crock if you ask me. "WSO of the Day" means absolutely nothing! It means that's the offer they decided to blast out for the day, the one they thought would bring them the most money. No thought or care was put into seeing if the offer itself was actually worthy of recommending to others.

Okay, I'm done ranting.

I have a side observation about the WSO of the Day.

I used to be on the WSO of the Day list since I signed up for the W+ website eons ago. I did unsubscribe to this list since I really didn't care about the WOTD.

Just a couple weeks ago I bought a WSO which used the W+ system. Thing is, my Paypal address is different than the email address I used to join W+ as well as being different than the one I use here on the forum. Within 24 hours after making this purchase, I started getting WOTD announcements from Mike to my PP address. Keep in mind, this an email address that is otherwise NOT associated with this forum.

And I wondered, do W+ sellers know that ML is adding their buyers to his mailing list? (Unless, of course, there's some other explanation for how my address magically ended up on the WOTD list within hours of buying a WSO thru W+.)

I've never used W+ as a seller, so I haven't read the TOS, but I sure hope those who're using W+ (or ANY service) read the TOS and privacy policy documents.

What a shame WSO of the day should not only be about what converts but the quality of the WSO .....imho.

I reckon it's just a way for (let's not name names) Micky to generate more money..

I don't think it's bad though because I chose to subscribe to his "WSO of the day offer" which I have personally bought a few of it.. Well, at least they are GOOD So Kudos to Micky for coming up with "WSO offline of the day".. I gonna buy a few of those as well because what he recommends is always (at least, most of the time) GOOD

Of course, WSOotD also "encourages" product owners to use Warrior Plus on the offchance they will get selected...
