Common sense WSO rules?

5 replies
Hi,

I've had my last WSO in 2010 if I remember right.

I've made some nice money out of it.

I'm curios, how did things changed since then? In 2010, it was really important how many posts you had. There were even replies to some WSOs - you can't charge $37 after only 10 posts on WF.

OTOs were not that popular either, or at least not found in every single product.

So if you were to give me a quick refresher course, taking into consideration that I've:
- wrote copy for WSOs.
- had my own WSO, collaborating with someone else, over $1000 my cut after expenses.
- I'm actively involved in information marketing atm ...

... what should I know about launching an WSO now, in 2014?

Thanks in advance!
Razvan

    Yeah the rules are different now!
    You should pay $20 for your WSO listing. As I know Others people reviews in your WSO will rock your sales and conversion rate.
    You should also have a beautiful sales page with new graphics. A video explaining your WSO is also effective in conversion rate.
    Also being polite to reply for questions is important!

    I'm surprised you're not a War Room member, then? Until a few weeks ago only War Room members could post WSO's. That's no longer necessary now, though.

    I think it's not quite as simple as "how many posts you have". But certainly "who the vendor is" is a huge outcome-determining factor.

    The other massive outcome-determiner is the presence in the thread of just one or two testimonials from respected Warriors who have bought and paid for the product or service, used it, and comment on their results rather than just on "what it looks like" the day they downloaded it. Those can clearly make an overwhelming difference to the number of sales.

    I think most of the other considerations are probably pretty similar to selling other IM/MMO products anywhere, really? Hype and income-claims will drive some customers away, and so on.

    Thanks everyone

    I'm considering launching one or more WSOs in the coming months and I'd like to better understand the (new) playing field.

      I would suggest spending some time observing and watching the most popular WSOs - it's pretty easy to tell which ones are actively selling and which aren't.

      Notice the types of products selling best, the sales page copy and graphics, the prices, the offers themselves, the bonuses, and how the owner handles the questions and posts. All these things can give you clues about what is working right now.

      Watch and learn.

    My quick refresher course for you would be this.

    1 -- Products that provide REAL value do best -- whether in this forum or anywhere else.

    2 -- Organic traffic in the WSO forum is nothing like it was back in 2010-2012

    3 -- You now have hundreds more vendors competing for the same traffic.

    4 -- Without strong affiliate support you'll find it tough to have a very profitable WSO.

    In short, things are not how they used to be. 2010 - 2012 was really the sweet spot for WSO's. There was way more traffic, way less competition, and consumers hadn't been beaten to death with $7-$17 for years.
