Is there even an WSO out there that makes anyone $1000 a month?

Yes. I make several times that using the exact directions from just one WSO.

Thanks for your input.

Yes I understand what you say about my blog. In fact you can see I haven't updated it for a long time because I have come to realise it's not what I want. I'm going to get stuff off of it like you suggested to do. I have had that in my mind for a while now. And also yes I am kinda tired of this money making niche thats why I have been focussing on CPA etc.

And to people above, yes I know it takes action and I think I belong to the 1% who actually does take action up on buying a WSO but it has never really worked out all the way for me! That's when I started to wonder. Maybe I don't hang on long enough, maybe that's it...

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

I dont think any WSO will 'make you money' I think you have to do the work yourself. You say you put the systems 'into practice' but how much effort did you really put in? When I was freelancing I worked for many many people who made there entire living online, and just about all of them worked more than I did.

It seems to me that there are 4 main types of people who make money online:

1) Those that provide a service (programmers, writers, graphic designers etc)

2) Those that sell a product they make / create ( for this I mean either software, graphics packs, or a physical product I dont mean E Books and how to guides)

3) Those that sell other peoples products (affiliates)

4) Those that sell a dream (by this I mean people who say they will show you how to make money)

I would think that the first step is to decide which of these things you want to be a part of and then go from there.

Thank you!! It has helped me. I've gotten some inspiration again. Going to set up a plan and do it! Cheers!

Because thats what alot of WSO's tell you to do. That's what got me started. However I came to realise it's freakin stupid. I haven't updated it for a while.

I have deleted all info off my blog. Feels good lol

Well you have to understand the 'selling a dream' IM market. With 'selling a dream' you make money by telling other people that your going to show them how to make money. There is little 'real' product there. Your basically just playing up to people who think that if they buy this product they will get rich overnight. Your playing on there emotions and there basic desire to get something for nothing. By doing this you get them to buy your product, which then validates your claim that your way makes money.

In all my years online (since 1997) I've never once come across one person who ever expected to "make money or get rich overnight". This is a myth and why people continually perpetuate it mystifies me. Every single "newbie" I've ever come across is willing to work as hard as is required to make enough money online to buy a little (or total) freedom.

Easy, let's say for example you're genuine and that you have a product that will make people money using the internet. And lets say that you're not the only person online who has such a product. It's a reasonable thing for me to do to start a blog offering your product. Why is this so difficult to understand?

As long as I'm not saying "I'm the one making money" I think starting a blog alerting people to other successful people's money making systems, books or products and using my affiliate links to make a few bucks off them is a very reasonable (and honest) way to make some money. Some people call it "affiliate marketing" and with wordpress being the main websites building tool these days) blogs are everywhere.

Just because a person's signature (or link placed anywhere) says "click here to make money" doesn't mean that they are the ones making the money or that they are leading you to a way that they themselves make money so it's perfectly reasonable to have a link pointing people to your money making ideas blog and yet still have the "audacity" (I mean really...how dare they?! :rolleyes to ask for advice on how they might make extra, initial or a new way to make money. It's beyond me why so many people (especially on here) are so defensive about this.

I expect to have my first $1,000 month this month.I have been marketing online for a few years but only making consistent money for a few months.I am following a WSO right now that is working more or less like promised. I no longer believe in push button riches etc.
The best way to profit with a WSO is to get any decent one and then stop checking out WSOs for a while. Put a plan into action and stick with it ignoring all the distractions of new offerings.

Thank you for taking the time to reply! It helps me!

Of course, that could be rewritten as...

However you now have 3,000 new students to teach and offer additional services to...you might have a few who are not a perfect match and may request a refund, but that's just life. Since you promised to teach them a technique and delivered on your promise most of them are satisfied and looking forward to your next set of ideas...

I'd bet that's closer to reality than your statement..

Thank you for your insight! Yeah I think for me it got to the point where I want to get serious and don't wanna TRY a method here or there. I want a business, I just need inspiration I guess. I pretty much seen all methods now, I just need to set up a plan for a business and then use the methods, make them work for me and get to my goals that way...

No WSO is going to make you money. It's what you DO with it.

I can give you a step by step blueprint for niche marketing and it won't make
you a dime if you don't do every single step absolutely correctly and that
includes, unfortunately, testing some things for YOUR particular niche to see
how effective they are.

People who are looking for a "do this, do this and do that" system that works
100% all the time are setting themselves up for failure.

I'll give you a perfect example why.

Let's say you get a book on article writing that says what the keys to a good
article are and they are:

1. Compelling Subject
2. Good Intro
3. Structured Content
4. Comprehensive Summary
5. Strong Call To Action In Signature

And you go and do all this but...

You can't write a compelling subject to save your life even after looking at
the examples because they don't fit YOUR niche.

You can't write a good intro.

You have a lousy command of the English language.

You wouldn't know a call to action from a cat even with examples.

In short, you just don't have writing talent.

On top of that, you're lousy at picking niches in the first place and don't know
how to determine if one is good or bad.

Do you REALLY think that book, even if it's technically accurate and helps a
lot of other people with talent to begin with, is going to help you?

As long as there is the human element in anything, there is always the chance
for failure.

You can read all the copywriting books in the world, but if you can't develop
a real talent for copywriting, you're not going to be a good copywriter, let
alone a great one.

I bought a book on ventriloquism once. It taught me all the things I needed to
know to become one.

Problem is, I just don't have the talent and skill to pronounce the really hard
words that start with B, M and P. And if you can't do those without moving
your lips and speaking clearly, the rest of it doesn't matter.

The step by step guide to anything that doesn't require at least a little bit of
personal skill has yet to be invented and I doubt that it ever will be.

So no, there is no WSO out there that WILL make you money.

Some are so bad they give you no chance because it's all bogus info. But even
the good ones are crap shoots depending on your personal skill level and
dedication to learning and applying the material.

And THAT is why we have such a high failure rate in this business.

Hi Roan.

I sincerely know the frustration you describe. I've been there. For me, the solution was in distilling everything I've learned into its purest essence, and then build from that immutable axiom.

What I'm about to say may seem excruciatingly simple and elementary, because we've all heard it before. But once you've been around awhile, it takes on tremendous depth of meaning, and in itself provides everything you need to know to build a profitable internet business. It was my a-ha! moment.

traffic + conversions = profit




Best regards

This is exactly what I have started to realise and I'm trying to figure out my strengths/talents. Thank you so much for taking the time to type this all out. I appreciate it. I will copy and paste this into a document.

A bit harsh, no?
And when you take her comments out of context, remove the chronology of that context, then misrepresent her question about finding a WSO that actually teaches a solid business model, it makes her look like a fool. You could do that to the majority of people, since its common knowledge that ~98% of people in IM haven't made their first dime online.

Fact remains, many WSO's promise exactly that - a business in a box. A "promise" of a method to make $400+ in a day or some such; why now do you berate people for having hope? For believing if they have the right information, they too can replicate a "system" to be profitable? Isn't that largely what this forum is about, perpetuating the dream and helping people make it a reality?

The title of the thread says it all. A common frustration held by many, a fellow warrioress who is seeking a little encouragement, a legitimate plan to build an IM business, and your advice is to turn on the fire hose and put out the fire completely?

Roan,

if you built your own website you are already a step ahead of everyone.

You could be building websites for people and easily banking $1000 per month. I had days back when I was doing it, that I made that in a week.

You could be flipping websites you build on Flippa for $100-$300 each - 14 flips a month at a $100 a pop=$1400 less your fees = near enough $1000 (let's not split hairs here, you get the drift )


The point is, like someone else posted above, it's about people - find out what you can do to help people, get good at it, publicize it, and you'll make money.

Also, no one can tell you what you should do but you. And no WSO is a magic pill. When I buy WSO's, I buy them for information, to educate myself. I don't for a minute think that I will make money in an instant with any of them. Because that's just a recipe for failure, right there. And major disappointment. Because what works for one person, may not work for someone else.

So don't let anyone fool you into thinking that you're guaranteed to make X amount of dollars if you buy their WSO. That guarantee is just another sales tactic to get you to buy. Buy the WSO or not, based on that simple truth and you'll be OK.

I wish you good fortune on your journey to financial freedom.

You are right, WSO is a great way to get something within a very low price, that means if you want you can use that for make some good money. Like without making WSO I also sell service and get client with big deal.

Here is a sample example of my plan...
1. Making a WP theme and sell that on WSO
2. Get a private Client and impress them with my work and sell that same theme as a project for $500

It seems a very good deal for me. If you believe that you will not be able to use that theme for your own or for a potential client, I will suggest not to buy it.

Most of the time making money depends on communication. If you can communicate with you potential clients you can make money. Then the major problem is getting potential clients, You can get it easily, much more easily than me, by baruchers, postcards, websites, with the help of friends and family.

Likely hard for me as I am living far away from my clients. I have only one option to communicate with my potential clients using my own website. But I am getting clients. So don't be frustrate. Just work hard. Dont spend your time with a lot of stuff, select a specific where you can invest all your time other than experimenting with a lot of branches on internet marketing.

Hope this helps
Thanks
