To WSO? or Not To WSO?

55 replies
Hello fellow Warriors, I am thinking about putting together my first WSO. I have a lot of experience in selling online, but not selling digital downloads like the WSO's.

I have some GREAT information that i believe people would be very willing to pay for. I was wondering if any of you had any good advice for me putting together my fist WSO? Best way to design? Price Point? Are the really worth it?

Thanks I really appreciate the feedback

    Sure. What do you have to loose? (apart from the listing fees)
    Make sure you don't release it until you are 100% happy with it.
    Also best bet is to do a JV - It can impact your success.
    If you have a list already that would be a bonus.

      Simmeon, I'm considering doing a WSO like Blackfin is. Can you elaborate on the JV? I know what it is, but can you give more details regarding how to make it happen?

      Thanks!

        In reality you should not just release a WSO without the following:

        - Partner up with a seasoned warrior

        - You want (an army of) affiliates ideally you want people that will push your product to via their list to create the buzz.

        - I'm sure you both have connections with people in this forum already - getting help from friends always helps.

        - You want your sales copy and WSO Design to be HOT!


        Benefits:

        - Increased exposure via your WSO getting sent to a variety of targeted lists
        - Increased creditability when partnering up with a seasoned warrior
        - Better chance of gaining more sales
        - People see and follow by promoting your WSO


        At the end of the day, you need to produce content that is valuable, preferably on a topic that is in demand.

        Benefits is that you are leveraging other peoples lists and customers with no effort on your part, and at the same time you are continusly learning from the JV partner in terms of their experiances and techniques. JV is a must, even for newbies and in my experiance is certainly a good method in adopting to get your feet of the ground and moving!

      Don't create a WSO. Create your information product as a stand alone product.

      The WSO is simply an advertising option that will allow you to promote your offer here on this forum at a special discount. The WSO can be used to test the market and see what you might sell your product for ultimately - but like I said - don't create a WSO. Create your product and use the WSO to test it.

        That was a good advice Jill.

        However, you can still give it a try and learn by experience and not example. While lots of money can be made it is important to know that success largely depends on a lot of things such as value of product, price you will be giving it out on WSO, your marketing technique and so on. The JV thing is a brilliant idea as well.

        You can hire a graphic designer to create an appealing sales page for you.

        Ok great point... kinda didnt think of it that way but obviously your right.

        It seems like some people have a lot of luck with WSO's is that correct?

          It would be hard to find a universe in which that statement isn't true.

          ("some" people could be anywhere from 1% to 99%.)

          However -- creating a successful WSO is an art form. Many successful WSO sellers had initial WSOs that sold products that numbered less than their fingers. My good friend Dave Hughes talks about selling 2 copies on his first WSO -- and one of those folks refunded.

          There are a LOT of pieces in the puzzle.

          The WSO forum is only one marketplace out of many. (It happens to be one that I currently know a lot about.) However, it's a VERY different place than it was even 18 months ago.

          AND MUCH more different than it was when I first joined the WF back in 2004.

          Do your due diligence.

          And that's part of what Jill's advice really is about.

          It's understanding what your purpose is in running a WSO and see if that fits your business model. If it doesn't, no sense in wasting your time.

          Live JoyFully!

    You'd really need to provide more info if anyone is to give advice on a price point.

    Establish a fair price to pull people in initially who will in turn provide you with the reviews which will hopefully strengthen your product to allow you to sell for more.

    I agree with the above though, create a "product" as opposed to a "WSO". The WSO forum is only one channel you can explore to market your product.

    Go for it! You'll never know what you could achieve if you never give it a shot.

    Price point will depend on many factors. No one here will be able to give you a reliable price point without having seen your product first.

    Just remember, give the customer great value for their money and you will gain lifelong customers

        Think about it. That WSO you just bought teaching you how to make money with WSO's? It often comes from a newbie who had just bought a product telling them how to make money by launching WSO's. It's becoming a silly cycle, really.

          You can always spend hundreds to thousands testing different things on the forum instead of purchasing a product that tells you how they made money.

          The wso section is an advertising platform. Each type of advertising platforms may work differently which makes me wonder why it is so silly to teach others how to sell here.

          Do you also laugh at products that teach others how to sell using platforms like facebook or adwords?

          The people that laugh and call this silly certainly don't come across as being very experienced.

            I certainly wouldn't use the same approach on facebook as adwords even though they are still ppc.

            I don't laugh because the method is being taught, and I really have no idea how any of the words I typed would lead you to believe that. While I personally think reading and understanding the rules of the section should give you all the information you need to know about launching a WSO, I understand that some will use this as their first selling platform and will need to simultaneously be taught how to run a campaign. There is a need for that.

            Common sense would dictate that there would be a pretty limited market for this type of product, right? There aren't too many different ways to skin this cat. You work within the rules and that is about it. I laugh because what has happened (for some reason that I cannot fathom) is this:

            1.Newbie buys WSO on how to sell WSO's
            2.Newbie absorbs information, and actually decides to take action.
            3.Newbie begins deciding what to create a WSO about
            4.???????
            5.Newbie says f*** it, and creates a WSO about selling WSO's

            The people who don't see this as a problem certainly don't come across as experienced to me either.

              Yeah, I don't think you have much experience.

              Knowing the rules is important but that doesn't create a selling strategy. Not even close.

              Selling a product that is tailored to the audience is a bad thing? You are trying to tell me that people who purchase "How to sell a wso" won't purchase anything else?

              How do you know it is newbies selling these?

              The people who don't see this as a problem certainly don't come across as experienced to me either.
              I don't think you have a clue as to how much you can make in that section (especially if you think long term).

                Well, you must be a selective reader, because you missed when I said this:


                I understand that some will use this as their first selling platform and will need to simultaneously be taught how to run a campaign. There is a need for that.
                I am well aware that some need to be taught the strategy behind it as well. That's not the problem I have with this discussion at all, and I don't know where you are getting that assumption from.

                When it is rehashed over and over and over and over and over and over (and over and over and over and over and over) again, hell yeah it's a problem.

                Once again, I'm not seeing where I said someone who bought that type of WSO won't buy anything else. Never even knew we were talking about buying habits here. How many "conversations" am I supposed to be keeping track of?

                Go to the first ten of these type of WSO's you see. Look at the OP's post history. See how many WSO's they have sold. Bet you they haven't sold any before that one.

                I never commented on this topic at all.

                What is the 6th different argument we are having? I don't know, maybe it's my "inexperience"; but please make a list of these implied differences we are having :rolleyes:.

                  Yes, I have seen many of your assumptions.

                  Ah, so now everything being sold must be completely unique. I haven't found anything unique in a long time. Maybe you can point me into a direction where they are selling something never seen before.


                  Once again, I'm not seeing where I said someone who bought that type of WSO won't buy anything else. Never even knew we were talking about buying habits here. How many "conversations" am I supposed to be keeping track of?
                  You stated common sense would state it was a limited audience for this product. I was trying to help you along with that assumption. I guess I failed so here it is.

                  Yes, it is limited in audience (like many products). It is tailored to this forum which makes if ideal to sell on this forum.

                  If they do it correctly, it won't be the only thing they sell thus making more money. It may simply be a product that gets them into a sales funnel.

                  Someone with experience would understand these types of things.



                  Go to the first ten of these type of WSO's you see. Look at the OP's post history. See how many WSO's they have sold. Bet you they haven't sold any before that one.
                  Assuming now? You know what they say about assumptions.

                    Alright, I see where one problem here is at least and that is with my wording. Where I put this:

                    Common sense would dictate that there would be a pretty limited market for this type of product, right
                    I was not referring to the audience that would buy the WSO's. I meant that there is not an infinite number of ways to market a WSO, so the strategies being taught can be covered in a not too large amount of products. Poor word choice on my part.

                    That's where I see it as a problem. Outside of a new way to market a WSO coming out, where is the need for more and more and more WSO's about selling WSO's?

                    As to my assumption that the first ten would be probably by newbie marketers who don't have real experience with WSO's I'll go check for myself now so I can come back with something quantifiable. That good?

                    I am stubborn to a fault; but not unbreakable. I'm just not seeing it here; but if you provide something that puts all doubt out of my mind then I have no problem changing it (and I'm not saying you are obligated to either).

                      I understood what you meant Joe. The product is tailored to the audience. That is a good thing and doesn't mean there isn't more products in the sales funnel.

                        So you're saying it's OK as long as they have products lined up after that one that will actually provide something more?

                          It would be stupid not to build a sales funnel but it isn't necessary.

                          If they sold successfully and wanted to create a product that showed others then why not? If they haven't sold successfully (preferrably many times to ensure their strategies works) then it would be wrong, imo.

                          People don't seem to look at the long term when selling on this forum. They treat it like quick cash. In the end, they will work harder compared to taking time to set up their business with long term strategies.

                          I am not saying all people but some certainly do not.

            Do you also laugh at products that teach others how to sell using platforms like facebook or adwords?

            The people that laugh and call this silly certainly don't come across as being very experienced.
            Thank you Thomas. That was precisely my point.

            Creating a WSO about how to sell WSO's is exactly the same as creating a WSO about any other method.

            I can't find anything at all funny or silly about that...

          That's why I joined the War Room and downloaded a couple of free ones instead.

    Well I can respect that at least; but I'd love to see how many actually do it. As my posts throughout this thread make obvious, I would put the number pretty low.

    I still vehemently disagree with the constant rehash/re-release of "How to sell a WSO" WSO's. Agree to disagree I guess? I can't think of any other ways to keep this debate going.

    OK Smith & Neo, calm down a little. I want real answers here, and I'm fairly certain the OP does, too. I'm putting together a WSO now that has nothing to do with putting together WSOs, and I would love to know how to do it without a list (as I don't have a list and my mentor doesn't teach list-building).

    I downloaded the WSO Mastermind from the War Room two nights ago, and it was very useful. It had an entire PDF on writing the sales copy for the WSO, and it put me light years ahead of where I would've been had I just tried to do it from scratch.

    I also signed up for WarriorPlus, but then I saw posts today about JVZoo and I don't know which is better.

    I attempted to post a question into the War Room itself with these same questions, but apparently it didn't get past the checks of the censor...err...moderators there as it's been two nights and it still hasn't appeared.

    I do accept PMs if you'd rather teach me in private.

    Thanks!

      lol I didn't think anyone was upset. This was mild.

      You don't need a list to create and sell a wso. A list helps a lot to make a thread popular but not necessary.

      A lot of people use the wso section to create a list.

      Offer is everything just like selling anywhere.

      The war room isn't for questions and answers like the main forum. It is about posting information first and then discussing it. That is probably why you didn't get very far with your question.

          The draft is coming, so there's that. You could try baseball too lol; but I wouldn't recommend it right now if you are a fellow Red Sox fan.

            I do like the BoSox (my grandmother was from Boston), but I can't get into baseball this early in the season. I grew up on the Braves and I despise them now...the draft won't be much to look at, either. Luck's going first, RG3 2nd, then a bunch of others guys. ESPN Radio is the only decent station in my town, so I've heard every possible order for the Draft to happen in...

        I'll give you a hint here, even though it is derailing this thread.

        Put a list comparison together for yourself of the two services.

        Also, determine your delivery system/funnel/user experience - because 3rd party services/scripts are still sorting out the details on integration in some respects for JV Zoo (I wish they'd hurry up already).

        I'm on the edge myself right now on buying some additional software so I can give users and myself a smooth experience.

        Thomas is right - list not needed if you have something people are looking for or want and if you post it just right.

        Your list will begin to build from your offer.

          That's what I am looking for...that "just right" thing you speak of! I've read through countless WSOs this weekend, so my brain's a little numb. Can you elaborate on this?

    I've been speaking from a buyer's perspective for this Jay, I don't operate in the IM niche and thus don't sell WSO's on anything. Perhaps Neo can help you on that.

    I don't want to start this debate again, but even after reading the whole thread I still find that type of WSO's funny - in a way, it's a bit like making money by selling products that teach others how to make money by teaching others how to make money. See the cycle here?

    I'm not saying it's bad or not needed, I'm just saying it's funny

      Sure, do your own WSO, hype up the offer, add shiny graphics, add tons of testimonials from other products, add some old earning screenshots and JV with some cool guys!

      (just kidding)

      But if you want to run your WSO, do that! At least you'll see if there's an interest or not - just be real with all what you post

      You: Get access to a fellow marketers already assembled list of customers. It's usually safe to assume they are targeted as well. Another possibility is that it is someone with more experience that can help maximize your campaign.

      Them: They get another product to sell to their list (if they have one). They usually get a cut of the profits coming in as well.
