Should I JV with another Warrior or try solo?

19 replies
Greetings friends,

I have a digital product that I have put together in eBook format.

Topics
- Digital Investments
- blogging
- Flippa
- Marketing
- Writing

and those types of things.

I really feel like I have a quality product that can help Warriors and I want to launch it as a WSO for around $7 so that it is really cheap and easy for people to get..

My only issue im having is should I post the WSO Offer myself or try and JV with another warrior who has more credibility, contacts, list etc. ?

Any advice would be amazing.

Thanks in advance

    If the product is good, it should sell it self. Maybe give it to a few people to review it and when you post your WSO ask them to comment on what they thought of the product.

      If you have access to the war room you should post it there to get feedback and potentially reviews.

        I think I do have access to the war room - I paid for my membership but it wont let me read those threads for some reason

    I really feel like it can genuinely help people - so you are suggesting that I give it away for free on this forum and get feedback on it?

    Would I be able to launch it as a WSO myself?

      You can give it away for free in the war room to get feedback and reviews. Once you have this you can then post it for sale in WSO section.

      Doing it yourself also gives you an avenue to learn how it all works and prepares you better for next time.

        Thanks Alister

        So you would recommend that I try to launch it myself rather than via a JV so that i can learn the ropes etc.?

    $7 is too cheap. Wayyy too cheap.

    Don't worry about what people can afford. Because people WILL find a way to pay for something if they believe it is worth the money.

    I intentionally avoid ANYTHING under $20. Because I tell myself "if the seller doesn't believe its worth more than 20 bucks than its probably not worth anything".

    Thats just the way my brain works.

    As far as the JV, you may need to "sell" the book better to attract partners. The description you gave basically says "I really feel like I have a quality product"... but is that what you're going to put on your salespage? WHY will it help people? WHAT makes it so unique and valuable? You should really explain a bit more about the book because you need to stop people in their tracks and get their attention. And when people use words like "feel" that doesn't convince me. You should KNOW its going to help people.

    Do you know that?

    And if you do. Please explain why. I don't mean to grill you but your post is just really generic.

      People like you are why I love the WF!

      thanks so much for that, the only reason I was thinking i would sell it for $7 on the WSO is because it is my first offer and I dont want to ask for too much when I am still newish to the forum.

      I honestly 'KNOW' that this is a great product and can really help people on this forum which is why I put so much time and effort into it - I will look at different pricing soon and maybe list it at the $22 mark

      Thanks so much!

      Kind regards,
      Michael

    That is great that you think it can help Warriors.

    The big question: would they buy it.

    I suggest that you publish it yourself.

    "I really feel like I have a quality product" is the wrong approach to sell something.

    A good product is based on market research and not on what you feel is good.

    A good WSO answers 1 problem in detail and gives specific solutions.

    "How to make money using Digital Investments" might work but a WSO.

    One product covering "Digital Investments", "blogging", "Flippa", "Marketing" and "Writing" will most likely not sell enough to cover the listing fees.

    How do I know? Well, I have published 24 or so successful WSOs and I have seen countless WSOs where the publisher thought they were the best thing since sliced bread that sold less than 10 copies.

    But don't take my work for it. Just go ahead and publish it. It just costs $40 and then you will know first hand.

      Thanks for you reply!

      I probably didn't word my post that well but I think I have decided I will launch the WSO myself so I can learn everything first hand.

      Thanks again

    I have promoted networking for many years now. I believe by having another partner or more that you will get more done if you both use each other to the fullest.

    You have to have trust between the partners and you have to have a motivation type of go get em attitude.

    Right now I think I have ten partners in all five are short term for individual products and four are long term partners.

    I am lucky as I have two all around IM guys, one that can do basic graphics and one that is a writer and one is a coder, now that is hard to do to find a coder that will also do internet marketing so I feel really lucky there.

    Network, its when you get greedy that everything falls apart. Share and it will come back ten fold.

    It depends on who's offering you a JV deal.

    Is it someone who can send 20k-30k visitors from their list? If so, screw learning on your own and create a product that sells!

    Do you write your own copy or do you need someone else to write a cash sucking sales thread? If you need help, a JV deal with a copywriter might be a huge help, right?

    You can find some good copywriters here on the forum for $300 & up too. But again, if you're struggling to get the $40 together and you can't write your own copy, a JV with someone who can help you get your product completed might be exactly what you need.

    And I haven't even mentioned the best part about working with an experienced JV partner. They bring SALES.

    So it really depends on what's best for you and what you need help with.

    If you've got access to JV partners, or a partner that would be willing to do it NOW (or very quickly), then go for it...

    If not, then launch it yourself NOW (of course, as long as the course is ready to go)... don't wait, don't sit... get to moving and launch it.

    JV partners will always be the best option! In fact, if you do things correctly, JVs will be responsible for over 80% of your sales if not 90!

    Here are some tips on how to launch your product properly.

    1. Give some reviews away to get some testimonials
    2. Set up a JV page with a contest prize (even $500 should be enough)
    3. Early bird list
    4. Launch it with a dime sale

    Obviously there's a lot more to product launches. I wish you all the best

    1. Your product sounds like it is trying to cover too many topics. Just stick to one topic. One WSO on one topic. The simpler your product the easier it will be to 'sell' to customers.

    2. The cheaper your product, the less quality your customers (generally speaking).

    If you're not sure what to do, you should find a partner (there are many offers in the JV section). Then you can share the costs, the risk and the earnings with him. I've checked some of the offers in the JV section, and most of those guys have already launched many WSOs with success.

    Thanks so much for your help guys!
    It means so much to have this advice from people who have been in the same position as me.

    I ended up splitting up my eBook and put it into smaller reports that solve problems.

    I am giving it away on the War Room for FREE
    I KNOW it will help my fellow warriors!

    Kind regards, Michael
