WSO Costs?

If you took two sellers in alternate universes, both selling the exact same product with the exact same sales thread on the WSO forum, one may sell 5,000 copies and the other only sell 5 copies.

It's all about marketing your product to those that will help you promote it.

I'm going to skip the bit on domain and hosting because I'm really not sure.

But as for average sales... You're missing the point in my opinion. The quality of your product matters. But your sales will stink if they're not accompanied by the following:

1) Targeted traffic (meaning you need to market the balls off your product given the sheer volume of WSOs posted daily)

2) Mouth watering copy

No, but it is highly recommended. People don't like waiting for their products to be e-mailed to them. They want instant access /delivery.

You can also use a 3rd party service to deliver your digital goods (JV ZOO, Warrior Plus, E-Junkie, etc.).

While I'm sure there IS an over all average, that would not give you an accurate idea on what YOUR WSO would do. There are just way too many factors to consider (the product itself, how much promotion you do, affiliates who promote your product, your customer service, your sales copy, etc.).

The only other fee that I can think of is a war room subscription that you need in order to post a WSO. It's $37 for a lifetime war room upgrade.

Hosting, domain?
NO, not if you go through JVzoo or wsopro. Also, using JVZoo is free, they just take out a (very)small fee for each sale.

There's no telling how many copies you'll sell. You'll sell more if affiliates jump on board.

The only other cost that is not mandatory, but HIGHLY reccomended is a subscription to an auto responder (like getresponse). I would NEVER launch a WSO without being able to capture leads.

Hi Tim

I have no idea about wso prolisting fees as I've never used it, thoroughly reccomend www.jvzoo.com though and you dont have to pay any listing fees,

If using something like JVzoo etc then no you dont need a domain or hosting as folks can download from there.

Difficult talking about what average sales are as they differ for everyone, I've had some where I've been lucky to get my money back then others where I've done thousands of dollars, it probably depends on what your selling and the feedback you'll get from others about that particular product to name just a couple of reasons

I'm sure others will jump in with better advice

The quality of the product does not seem to matter. It's all about the sales copy and how many fake reviews you can round up. I've seen WSOs with hundreds of replies and the product inside was just a big joke. On the flipside, people who know what they are talking about may not know to play the games that go in in the WSO area, so they sell nothing.

The number of sales has to do with the marketing and overall clout of the seller. The same product can do different amounts of sales depending on how it is marketed. Unfortunately most of it has to do with the sales page, especially with WSOs.

if your serious about launching a wso then you need some tools to help and there will be costs involved

here are the costs in a nutshell

war room sub if you havent already got it (around $37)

wso pro listing fee - $19

wso pro OTO fee - $19 (optional)

somewhere to host your files or videos (I use amazon aws, there awesome) fees vary

a platform to use to deliver your product - $97 one time payment ( i use optimize press, its awesome)

WSO listing fee - $40

any graphics, images, sales pages or covers that you may need as well

you dont have to use wso pro, but in my opinion, its the best platform to use to pick up affiliates
and also its a great platform which pays all your affiliates instantly, plus lots of other benefits too

as to how many sales you will make, that is an impossible question

its like saying "if i build a website how much money will it make"

some sellers launch wso`s and make 3 sales, some make a few hundreds, and some a couple of thousand. Generally your first WSO won`t make it big unless you have a massive list yourself to push it, or lots of jv partners already on board

wso`s do work great but there is a learning curve the same as anything else

Is it not just need warrior room account(37) and listing fee (40) isn't it?

Based on WarriorPlus back room stats, if you remove the "mega launches" (established Warriors with large lists and relationships with other large list owners) from the totals, the average WSO sells less than 50 copies. Joining Warrior+Plus for $4 will give you good data to study. JVZoo also has excellent stats to track how much is selling.

Yes, Affiliate is the main factor that a WSO could get 1000+sales in just a few days. A WSO could get that much sales in short time, is not because of the thread or the product.

Based on my experience, best-selling WSO Authors are not people who create the best guide, create the most unique product, or have the most beautiful sales page. They are people who have the best technique to attract affiliates.

If i sell more than 100 copies of my WSOs then i am pleased. I hardly ever bump my WSOs as i have found it doesnt work for me at $40 a bump. So i wouldnt get too excited about the minority that sell thousands of copies and make a lot of money and this isnt the norm.

When you post you WSO don't forget to post here on the DOWNLOAD's section for freeeeee with no bumping fees

It's a good idea to have a domain and hosting. You need an url to deliver the product. Plus you're supposed to have it listed elsewhere with the WSO being a special price for Warriors rather than it being a WSO only product.

I use DLGuard to deliver my products, so the product is hosted on my domains and DL Guard delivers it with expiring urls.

Well there is lot of stuff to get done, to launch a wso product. Other than the fees you mentioned, you also need to be a War Room Member to post the WSO thread. The War Room Membership costs 40$ or so (cant remember exactly). Plus there is also a 40$ fee to bump your wso thread.

A domain and hosting are not totally necessary, but will be good if you set up one.

This is a really tricky one. The answer is not simple. There are many factors involved here including but not limited to:

* Your own first-hand experience as a marketer.

* How much you have in that niche? Any blog(s), mailing list(s), video channel(s), social page(s) etc.

* Number of contacts you have in that niche?

* The number of affiliates you get.

* How powerfull those affiliates are (any super affiliates?).

* How much professional and great sales page you have.

* And so on..

So you see there IS actually a lot of variables involved. Just work hard and give your best shoot, and hopefully you will be successful.

Hope this helps you :-)

well, its quite true that if you have got affiliates to sell for you (than you will sell enough) but still you need a good sales letter, and a nice offer!

$1 million is definitely possible selling WSO's. Will you make that much from one WSO? No, and I don't believe anyone ever has. But you could definitely do that many sales over a year with a few well executed WSO's that get a lot of support from affiliates. You will also need to have a nice funnel in place so that person who purchased your $7 product can end up purchasing a lot more from you.

Just look at Warrior Plus which is only ONE of several platforms available for selling WSO's. It is just about to clear the $50 Million worth of sales processed through it. They are only offers run on this forum. So the potential for big numbers is definitely there. I know that from my own first hand experience also.
