The WSO method to internet marketing

June 18th, 2010

Do you have a digital marketing product to sell? The Warrior forum is a great Internet Marketing forum where marketers from all over the world come together to talk and share ideas about online business. You can find it at The Warrior Forum.

For those of you who don’t know, WSO stands for Warrior Special Offers, which is a special section of the Warrior forum where members can post special offers to other forum members.

There is a great mix of newbies and experts on the forum, which makes it a great place to generate traffic to a squeeze page to build your list.

Let me show you a strategy which can easily result in hundreds of new subscribers by simply posting a free WSO on the Warrior Forum…

Now before I go into details, there are costs involved with this traffic generation method. You will need to be a member of the Warrior War Room, which costs a one-time $37, before you can post a WSO. Every WSO you post (and each ‘bump’ up to the top of the forum) will cost $20 a go. This is money REALLY well spent however.

Now, the norm is to post paid products in the Warrior Special Offer Forum, but it can be far more profitable to post a WSO offer for a free product, in return for an email address. An email address can be far more profitable than a sale in the long term!

Create a WSO and direct people to a squeeze page offering a good free product.

“But what about that $20 I just spent placing the ad”, I hear you cry!

Well, you are getting valuable subscribers that should make you far more than the $20 you paid out, however the secret to this strategy is to monetize the free offer.

Don’t make the mistake of having a blank thank you page, after your squeeze page. Here is the prime place to put a One Time Offer (OTO). When people sign up for your free gift, there will always be some people who want to buy something from you, so by making a OTO you are simply fulfilling someone’s needs. If you don’t have a OTO, then that is money well and truly wasted.

The OTO doesn’t even have to be one of your own products. The WSO does though, as that is the rules of the forum.

Now, to add an extra boost to your traffic, when the WSO falls to page three, bump it back to the first page (this will cost another $20), so that new sets of fresh eyes can see your free offer. This means you will get more sign ups and people seeing the OTO.

There is nothing stopping you having several WSOs on the go at the same time, as if you have three going at once, you can make sure that you are on the first page at all times and bump up the others when they fall to page 3.

The Free WSO Method is an absolute gem. Last time I did this I added HUNDREDS of people to my mailing list in a matter of days and sent a torrent of traffic to my websites.

Internet Marketing can be very lonely. While it’s great to be your own boss and set your own hours, it can also leave you feeling all alone. You don’t answer to anyone and you don’t have to work with anyone. Therefore you can get very lonely.

Loneliness can have an adverse effect on your overall mental health. Just about everyone knows this. But not everyone knows that it can also negatively impact your Internet Marketing business.

To make sure you don’t become a lonely Internet Marketer you should network with people online and you should also make sure you work outside your home at least a couple times a week.

The Correct Way to Use Social Networking Sites

August 1st, 2009

Social networking sites are very popular right now and they will continue to grow in popularity. That’s why Internet Marketers use these sites to help market their business. However, many people fail to use Social networking sites correctly. The following is the correct way to use Social Networking sites.

Some examples of social networking sites include MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter, Squidoo, and YouTube. The intent of social networking sites is to help people connect with each other. This is what almost everyone on these sites is there for. So it only makes sense that most people don’t take kindly to others trying to market themselves on most social networking sites.

So, why do most Internet Marketers try to blatantly market their products on social networking sites? It doesn’t make any sense, and it doesn’t make any money either.

The correct way to use social networking sites is to simply try to meet and befriend as many people as possible. Just try to find people who are interested in your niche and then get to know the people. Don’t try to market anything to them. Prove to people that you’re someone who can be trusted and that you’re someone who is knowledgeable about a given topic. This will form a strong base that will eventually lead to a lot more sales.

In order to use social networking sites the right way you need to have a blog. Make sure that you let people know about the blog. Then people who meet you and get to know you on the social networking sites will be able to learn more about you by going to your blog. If the people trust you and value you then they will visit your blog. From your blog you will then direct them to your site where you will directly market to people. If people like your blog then they will be likely to click through to your site. That is when they will be directly marketed to.

Too many people try to market directly on social networking sites. This can work but more often than not it doesn’t work. In fact, sometimes it has the opposite effect. Sometimes your standing on a social networking site is damaged when you try to directly market your products to other members.

The correct way to use social networking sites for Internet Marketing is to simply get to know people and to be a valued member of the social community. You don’t want to directly market to other members because this rarely works and often hurts your credibility on the site. Simply use social networking sites the way they were meant to be used – use them to meet and get to know other people.
