Are many making money from IM honestly?

I know for a fact some are successful, and see results.

But many of the WSO's I would agree, tend to be rehashed material by individuals who don't really have a clue what they are talking about. Or -- they have a clue, but not much more than that.

Based on what I know, and educated guesses, I would say that yes, there are some 'students' who start making $2-$3k/month within a few weeks, but that is very few and far between. It is usually because the 'course'/'ebook'/etc 'resonates' with what they are doing. The 6 figure income in a *month* is very unlikely. Possible, but unlikely.

For myself -- while I wouldn't say that there has been a 'specific' WSO that has resulted in 'concrete'/'immediate' results -- I would say from a number of them I've read, have helped give me incremental increases in income. Some from certain strategies, while others give me an insight into how other people do things.

The major thing though is application, and I'd say very few people do that.

In the last 6 months I earned $13,649.50 with JVZoo. Want to know a secrete? I have never bought a WSO. Honestly everything you need to know is right here on the WF for free. The only kinds of WSO I would even consider buying are tools such as software, graphics packs, design services, etc. I would never pay for information, there is no need to, its right here for free.

This man speaks truth. Plus, so many consumers are so turned off by shady WSOs that many do not trust ANY WSOs. This is why there are so many WSO leechers at blackhat sites.

I'm sorry to say that I've bought far more WSO's than I should have done!!!

Can't say that any of them have been very profitable - they were either 'poor quality' (sorry) or far more complex than I was led to believe.

I am now concentrating on running a real web business and not allowing myself to get waylaid by every new marketing fad that comes my way and is likely to take me off track!

I've joined Rob Cornish's 'Gain Higher Ground' Membership Site and have gained more in-depth knowledge there than all the WSO's put together.

By the way my link below is not related to a 'get rich quick' - which it might look like - it is how Rob really did go from Zero to 350k in 18mths! Published through a WSO!!! lol

I need IM-skills to run an offline business, and have no idea if IM alone could ever support a decent income for me. Perhaps in good times, but difficult now I think.

I would never pay for information needed to do what I do, as you get much better quality material for free if you can read research papers.

If you can do your own research and you can do it well, you will never have to pay for information for as long as you live on this planet.

There are two different kinds of currency you can use to grow your business -- time or money.

You can spend your time to find our what you need to know....

Or, you can spend your money to save you time in the quest to learn what you need to know....

If you put any real value at all on your time, then it would be easy to justify spending money to save you time...

Let's say your time is worth $7 an hour... If it takes you three hours to learn what you need to know, then the cost of the information is $21... If you could have purchased the information for less, why wouldn't you?

Let's say that you have become more valuable than $7 an hour... Perhaps your time is now worth $50 an hour... If it took you the same three hours to discover the information you needed, then your cost of acquiring the information was $150... If you could have purchased the same information for $27, why would you think it better to spend your time than your money?

It is true that most of the information you would ever need is out there and available for free...

However, if I or anyone else for that matter, had the ability to take general research and recombine that information into new ways that you would never have put together on your own, wouldn't that make the paid information more valuable than the free information? And, if not, why not?

Thanks

Because when you spend your time, you are turning your time into value. Ie you are generating net worth. Your time has become a valuable commodity (useful information).

When you purchase information your not increasing your worth. Sure you have a valuable commodity but you have less money so your net has stayed the same.

Here is a quote from one of my favorite people ever that banks often take out of context. "A penny saved is a penny earned" .. guess what good old Ben wasnt talking about saving money in the sense of putting it aside for later (in a bank or under your mattress) he was talking about saving in the sense of not having to spend money. Every time you do something yourself you save the cost of not having to pay someone, but you have the result of the work. So you turn your time into value and increase your net worth. (even if just by a little)
You earn the value by saving the cost.

This of course assumes a 'fair trade' in time for money. Now if you can get 5 hours worth of research for $5 well then thats a great deal because your time is probably worth more than that.

I think YOU missed the point. If you make $50 per hour and it takes you three hours to research something that someone else has already put together for $27, yes you're saving those $27, but you're also losing $150 worth of your time.

It all depends on how valuable your time is.

In my experience it is most often a bit of both. Meaning that you have to "do a bit of research" yourself and get sufficiently "inside" the material if you want to bend it towards your own purposes. But not having to deal with the actual empiric studies and the statistical analysis frees you up to take a keen look at the business potential.

If things go well you can make a lot of money that way.

However, I am willing to admit I don't know everything. Perhaps you gain nothing from purchased information.

Information is information.

Purchasing said information or researching to find that same information for yourself doesn't change it's worth... only it's cost.

If you don't subsequently USE that information you'll receive no value from it - but that's true regardless of how you obtain the information.

  Hey Sid. Im sorry I was not explaining it in a way you are understanding. Here let me try again. I want talking about the worth of the information. I was talking about your worth.
  
  Here is an example: Lets say you start out with $100.
  
  Ok so you take that $100 and you buy information for $50. Lets say for the sake of argument that this information is worth $50 (because it makes easy math) so now you have $50 in cash and $50 worth of information, so your right where you started, having $100 (only now its in two different forms)
  
  Ok so now lets say you spend 3 hours doing research and you learn that $50 worth of information on your own. So now you have $50 worth of information and you have your original $100 still. So your net worth is now $150 (in two different forms)
  So basically you where paid $50 for 3 hours of research (by not having to spend the money), so you got paid just over $16 per hour.
  
  Now as some others have pointed out there is a point of diminishing returns with this kind of thinking. For example I could find a WSO that is going to give me info that would take me 3 hours to learn on my own for say $7. That means Im paying $2.33ish to have that info given to me. So it may not be worth spending my own time learning it.
  
  However I myself still would not buy this info likely because 1 Im an avid reader. 2 Im also a chronic insomniac so I just read at night when there is nothing else to do anyway.( 2am - 5am can be a really booring time) You (and everyone else) as possible consumers will have to decide if you would prefer to pay for info or if you would prefer to learn it on your own. Its going to be different for everyone based on things such as there available time, how much they value there time etc.
  
  Hope that helps
  
  Brett
  
  PS) To the OP .. sorry this conversation got off topic. However you should keep in mind one thing that some people have said. Stop buying and start selling. Create a product.
  
  Thanks

That is exactly the game I am in. Using free available research and recombining it into something which is a lot interesting for commercial use and therefore a lot more expensive for my buyers.

If you just buy and read other consultants material you will never really feel that you "own" it or that you make any original contribution. But to me at least, it is something different when you use raw research and make something out of that.

And I am aiming for for high pay too. But I like to play the long game and I don't mind sacrificing a lot of income and work to get the ball rolling. That has meant a lot of time spent developing my programs - something which should start paying off soon.

I would certainly pay for good information, but my reality has been that what I was looking for was freely available. I have had to invest a lot of time, but there is never really any free lunch anywhere. It would have been a lot faster and perhaps easier to pay for the same information, but I just never found what I needed for sale anywhere.

I have considered hiring a few pinoy grad students to do the bulk of the work. Perhaps later in the game.

Thanks

I don't know why you would expect WSO buyers to come back and post glowing reviews of a WSO if it helped them make money?

There is no obligation for WSO buyers to do this at all.

If a WSO has helped someone make money, that person is probably too busy implementing the method than to come back to the WSO thread to say so.

As well as that, they're probably happy that others aren't taking action with the same method to create competition.

Sure, a small minority will feel obliged to help the product creator out by saying 'this wso helped me make $xx.xxx', but for every 5% of success stories, 95% of successes will remain out of the public eye.

So just because a WSO thread may not have anyone who says 'i've made $xx.xxx with this method already' it doesn't mean that method doesn't work. Not at all.

The key to success is investing in WSOs that will genuine help you scale your business rather than buying anything just because you're intrigued by the sales letter.

Many of people also just buy wso and never do anything with the information. They just day dream how it would be owning all the things sales letter promises. When it comes to action, 90% do absolutely nothing. Other 9% take information verbatim, apply it, but fail. Maybe 1% takes information, applies their own twist to it and make some cash.

Most of the people I know who are making money online are not making that money from WSO's or even in the MMO-niche.

I also know several people who are making quite a bit of money with WSO's, but contrary to public belief, they are making more money working real niches outside of the Warrior Forum than they are making by selling WSO's. You can make good money with WSO's, but the real money is outside the WSO marketplace.

When I trawl through the WSO threads, there are full of things like broke student goes from 0 to 6 figures in 3 months and some ridiculous claims like that. And whenever a WSO is posted by reputable IMers out there many go how fantastic it is and what a great WSO it is and how great the support is but I hardly see anyone posting that they actually made money from that WSO. It is very rare to see or you see some that say we made a few sales, A lot post how great it is and never come back after a few months to say if it worked or not.

Then you also have the typical fanboys that come into those threads and start defending the heck out of the OP when someone says something negative on how reputable and how they vouch their life for them blah blah. Some times its quite sickening. Like I said majority post on how superb it is and thats it nothing more. When someone says they haven't made money, there are a lot of people that go out of the way that say you haven't put in work or you haven't done it right etc.

But I am curious to find out how many people are actually making the thousands that are promised on WSO even with work put in. Some may make a few $$ more than they put in and then go on to say how fantastic it is, maybe because they covered their cost? But it doesnt take a lot to see the thousands of users on WSO are not making money at all and some just waste their time despite efforts.

Would like to get some honest input and info on WSO's in general from people who have actually made money or not without Bsing..

Your thread title asks about IM ,and your post is focusing on WSOs.

Internet Marketing encompasses much more than WSO marketing, which I believe is only a fraction of the entire IM world.

Many people are making money from IM. Are they making money from WSO's? Sure. Are they getting rich and generating passive income and gaining freedom from WSO's? Probably not. ...or a very select few perhaps.

Yes, there is enough to be found worthwhile testing and trying right here under our noses... I buy a wso now and then and make some money honestly, but many are looking to make money from IM ''take the money and run'' wise .. beware for those guys and report them / flag them / etc.

It takes time to build up trust and credibility, but ''it'' can be done, no doubt about that.

I agree with the comment about this thread being specifically about WSO but the title talking about IM... much more to online success than WSO. If you are selling a WSO, you are making money (with a successful launch), if you are buying one - you might make a bit but it won't be earning you residual income to retire on. I'm not entirely sure what this thread is really discussing anymore. I've found a couple of valuable WSO - but I only buy when I'm looking specifically for something. I stopped trawling through this site and being 'sold' to a long time ago. But in all fairness, there are quality, valuable WSO's and there is trash... like anything out there, do your homework.

Hi,

I don't make a penny from WSO's. Never have, and I've been here about 10 years now.

Of course, to do so, I would have to actually post an offer in the WSO thread (haven't done that either).

The WSO forum is a discount marketplace. It's like the Dollar General, or Walmart. It's just ONE outlet for the seller's product, and it's really short-sighted to give Walmart (or any other discount market) a monopoly on your product.

Why advertise in only one place (especially at a "discount")?

(In fact, that might be a good way to decide whether you really want to purchase a given WSO offer.)

After all, how good can it really be if the seller doesn't also offer the product to the general public? If a merchant only offers their product here (vs. having their own sales page at full price, advertising, affiliate platform, etc.), what does that say about their confidence in the marketability of their product?

How good can it really be, if the seller won't invest the effort to market anywhere but as a WSO? Are you really getting a discount in the WSO - if there is no normal price?

Would like to get some honest input and info on WSO's in general from people who have actually made money or not without Bsing..

I have made money from implementing some of what I have learned from a few WSO's over the years. (I have probably purchased less than one WSO offer per year during my tenure here.)

But as others have said... you make money from selling - not buying.

It's a great marketplace where you can get good information, good tools, etc. for your IM business, for less than you would pay anywhere else. However, that does you no good unless you learn from it, and actually use what you buy.

I am making decent money online, have a very high conversation rate, as its taxi related, selling a service i.e taxis, each booking makes me minimum of £10.00. Even silly ppc prices of £3/ £5 are worth it.

Hi there,

I am making money by offering my writing services to internet marketers. I guess it's part of the IM, in general. I used to make some good money with clickbank but I chose to concentrate on services.

So yes, I am making some good money and I do know people, mostly discreet people, who make quite a bit in IM. They offer quality courses etc and focus on branding their business. They work REALLY HARD and are very consistent. I think that's the golden rule. Also, just like when you use the stock exchange to make money, they diversify their activities, portfolios etc.

Ymest.

Thanks

The majority of people are NOT making money.

The "make money online" niche is largely predicated upon things that don't exist.

But.. What does exist?

Hard work.

Business plans.

Offering services.

But, all of the "make a million dollars by next week" systems are TYPICALLY not based upon anything I just said.

Focus on building a business.

Just my $.02

Thanks

I agree. The revenue that I am generating comes from the very basics of business. I took time to write a simple business model. When i first tried I/M, I just got into the hype and started to generate traffic without even thinking about what products I want to sell or if I can generate more money than my expenses or time invested. I would just add my $.01 and say treat what you are doing like a business, not just something you do in your spare time at home.

Thanks

There are many guys here doing well from implementing what's in the WSO. However, I have noted that they mainly try to think and implement it out of the box. What you read, implement it and if possible, in your own angle. I recently bought a wso on Launch jacking IM stuff and implemented that for a hot amazon product that had little to no competition and it was a hit.

I’m honestly making money by selling digital products and a service.

It is possible to honestly make money online when you help the internet users, if you will manage to beat the competition and reach your audience. You also have to inspire confidence.

About WSOs, I read that you have to learn everything you can about who is making a certain offer, and understand if you can really trust this person before purchasing a WSO.

I’ve purchased a few WSOs a long time ago, and I didn't like them because they didn't contain special information.

Thanks

The main problem is that a lot of people buy WSO's thinking that they are just a quick way to earn millions of dollars. The truth is that in order to be successful online, you really have to work at it. You won't discover any type of system that allows you to push a button and have millions of dollars in your account the next day. If you are willing to work hard, and dedicate your mind to something, internet marketing can work for you.
Tip: My motto is that 9 out of 10 businesses fail. If you want to guarantee success, start ten businesses, then at least one of them will succeed.

Best of luck

There are some good wso's around. However I also think that the wso's that teach a process and a business model are more likely to help an action taker to succeed. The desire to take action coupled with the a solid 'business model' rather then a 'technique' is the way to go I think.

The success rate of any WSO is probably the same of any business or anything that take effort, learning and management so like a few % in other-words most fail.

Imagine there was a WSO that for $1 make you $1000 all you had to do is research and select a niche you like, then go to click bank pick a product (any one in that niche). Open an account, get a hop link, then open an aweber account create 3 emails with this link in it, get a domain, get a hosting account, put a wordpress blog, put a squeeze page tie it to the aweber.

When done write in 2 pages what you did, fax it to a number rand you get $1000.

How many people would complete this.

Now imagine a real affiliate business there is 10 times more you have to do and WSO's always give instruction to do something that has this type of work and the pitch is that it's in 2 minutes a week without any work, risk, site, you can make exactly $199327 and 27 cents with my Super Duper Muper Done For You System

People don't do it, they are like crack cocaine addicts on their next WSO fix.

Except it that's the way it is. The "weird" people who get results do something evil, they work at it. But try to find work in the sales copy, I dare you! WORK doesn't sell, people are entitled in their mind to free easy success and that is what the crack WSO delivers!

I personally feel that the biggest problem that most people have is that they do not have the discipline to stick to one system. I agree with many fellow Warriors to just stop buying and start taking action on it. There are lots of good information available in this forum.

That's the thing
and this is one of the big dilemma with those who either haven,t started or haven't established themselves in one niche. They keep buying or try different products with very little efforts and when they don't see success with their little effort, they cry.
The best thing to do is to stick with one system and put all your effort into it until you see results But most people won't do it, they like to jump from one place to another.

I'm pretty sure the percentage of the people that actually follow through with every word said and take a huge amount of action with it is very low.

Most WSOs are meant for newbies. Most of the WSOs are usually all the same with a twist of their own methods. So if an experienced IM guy is reading an WSO, it probably is mostly for tips and extra methods.

If a newbie did make money off it, it probably wasn't what it was actually claimed to make. The newbie probably just made a couple bucks, or if lucky at least half the amount.

Thanks

it's quite simple, there are some very good wso's which you can pick up lots of great tips and strategies which would make a massive impact on your business

at the same time there are some very bad wso's which are very thin and don't give you hardly anything

what you have to do is start taking responsibility on your own purchases including wso's

instead of just reading the sales page and thinking "yeah this looks or sounds good" actually spend some time researching the wso seller and see if he or she actually has a reputation for creating "good stuff"

there are lots of people on this forum that create killer products/wso's for very cheap and the info in those products/wso's can quite easily transform your business and really help you in your business

start taking your business seriously and start spending a little bit of time actually figuring out the people that have reputations for creating good products

being online you have all the resources you could possibly want to find out more information about a particular marketer so start taking advantage of it

Thanks

Only if they are not too lazy,
Only if they can apply themselves,
Since most are of the Fox and the Grapes persuasion, they just do not put enough effort into it,

(In other words, its their fault, not the product, not the WSO)
Its the customers fault, )))
