What variables do you guys look for on a WSO sales page to believe it is good?

I just look at the name, how long they have been here, how many known warriors review it, basically people who are actually here for the right reasons. I know they can't afford to pump out crap products because they will be called out and have a lot more to lose then someone with a new account. Then again I don't buy WSOs but if I did, that would be what I looked for.

I always check the number of posts the warrior has and of course if there are good reviews on the page.

I study the seller's profile and I read the reviews. A few warriors seem to endorse any and everything almost. Those products obviously are devalued in my mind. Saying that, the only WSOs I buy have been recommended to me in a mailing, by marketers I really trust.

It has to be a subject that's of some possible interest/relevance to me in the first place, of course, and then these are my three main criteria ...

• I don't buy anything (a WSO or anything else!) that makes any kind of express or implied income claim in the heading or sales post (fairly obvious and fundamental, of course!)
• I don't buy anything without having heard of the vendor and checked out his interactions and apparent reputation here from his other, non-WSO posts
• I don't buy anything without a couple of testimonials in the thread from respected Warriors who are known and trusted and have bought, paid for and actually used the product/service and comment on their results

(And like plenty of others here, I won't buy video WSO's at all - only PDF's.)

No way to predict the quality of a wso by the warrior's wso history or general WF history. A good contributor can still produce a mediocre product. (though I would be especially cautious of someone with a checkered WSO history.)

I would say look for a money-back guarantee, so at least if it's not good, you're not stuck with it.

This is one thing I was talking about. If you walk away not knowing what the method of making money is, then something is certainly up.

There is something interesting about reading all these answers. If you notice every single one of the answers assumes that the WSO is going to be some sort of informational product about making money online. I do WSO's for software not how to make money PDF's and stuff, and its a shame that more people dont actually follow the spirit of what a WSO is suppose to be. A WSO is suppose to be a special deal on a existing product that is offered to Warrior members. Many many of these so called WSO's are not this at all. There not special deals offered to Warrior members, because there not special deals, there products created specifically for the WSO section of this forum.

Here is what I would do before I purchased anything from there:

1) Ask the seller to link me to his website where he sells this product at the normal price. If he doesn't have one you know that this is a created for product not a special offer. That from the door hurts the sellers reputability.

2) Ask the seller a question about the product, any question. This will give you an idea of what kind of support he is giving. If he takes a long time to answer (any question should be answered in 12 -24 hours at most) then that would be an indication that this is a made for product and not a real business with support hours etc.

3) Any product that makes an income claim, I would skip, they cant know for sure what you will make so making an income statement is dishonest. Now if they say something like "Ill teach you how I made XXX" then thats one thing, but if they say "You will make XXX" thats just lame.

I would also say that you should:
Be clear about what you want the product you are getting to do.
Ensure that there is a money back guarantee...or good reasons why no guarantee is being offered.
Talk to other people who have used the product.

Personally, I look for specifics about what the product does or teaches. If the sales page is vague with details, I skip it.

If it's a seller who I've bought from before, that previous experience goes a long way towards making or breaking another sale.

And if I haven't dealt with them before, I usually wait and see if any problems crop up. I've seen sellers get really defensive and even abusive when someone complains about a problem, even as simple as the delivery system not working, and it's always enlightening when that happens.

I am, probably, among the few that don't visit that part of the forum.

However, if I read a smart post by a WF member regarding a specific field of IM... and I notice the said member is really knowledgeable about her/his favourite topic, because they always post valuable content - and seeing a link in the sig that point to a WSO... I may check it out.

But again, I buy only tools type offers, never "methods" to make money overnight.

Do you give weight to sellers who have had lots of successful WSOs?

I read the sales letter and get a sense of what the offer is about. If is vague with generalities on what is is "Not" but leaves me an empty feeling as to what it "Is" then I pass.

If I'm still on the page, I look to see how responsive the author is in responding to questions and the tone of the answers. If the answer are defensive, or I get the sense that the author feels questions are an imposition on their time, then I also pass.

But if the overall "feel" of the questions and answers are positive, then I will purchase the WSO.

Well, first off....... I only buy it if I need it now or believe I will need or use it in the future.

I usually will try things out if they are not too expensive knowing I am taking a risk. But normally I will look to see who else has commented on the product. I am looking for negative comments about the product, the support/customer service.... etc. Comments about the product and how well it worked.

I do my best to make sure those comments are made by people who have a reputation that is trusted on the Warrior Forum, whom I believe would not want to ruin their credibility by making false claims about a product.

Hope that makes sense.....

Usually if the seller made a good product once, i will check his other products as well.
If i bought a crap WSO, i will remember who sold it, and never buy from the seller again.

I hate hype sells letters and i if i made a lot of mistakes in the beginning and bought a lot of crap - right now i feel that i can trust my intuition.

I remember my days of being an opportunity junky, where I would order work at homes programs from magazines. I lost thousands of dollars and now I know how to spot a real opportunity and how to spot hype.

I don't buy very many WSOs in the first place. As I'm a software developer, I may purchase a software to test and see if it has any new ideas I can add to my software.

I may purchase a product with some kind of resell rights that I can turn into income within a few hours after reviewing the product to see if it is worth reselling.

The subject matter is very narrow for me and greatly resticts what I'm interested in.

I look at WSOs at beeing very limited in content because you usually get what you pay for at insainly low prices.

Another reason that I buy very few WSOs is because back in the day when I became a warrior, WSOs were only suppose to be discounted products for only warrior members. With platforms like JVZoo and Warrior Plus, anyone can purchase a WSO for the discounted price.

There are very few existing products that are discounted for warriors, but products made just for a WSO.

I hope this has been helpful,
