The Warrior Special Offer (WSO) has been around for a while now, but it has not had the huge exposure it has lately until just recently due to the ability for affiliates to promote. Some say there are a ton of rehashed products, some say it’s the best place on the internet to find top quality products at cut down prices. What do I say? I will get to that in a minute but first let’s take a little look inside the WSO and it’s history, the earnings and how you get started with your own.
There has been a big buzz around Warrior Special Offers over the past few months, it seems like everyone is grabbing a piece of the action. I have personally been involved in two WSO’s up to now. The first was a product upsell which I spoke about in an earlier post. The second was Multi Profit Websites which is another product which I own 1/3 of with Dave Nicholson and John Thiornhill. Both products have done very well in the WSO market place. John Thornhill has also advertised his own WSO’s recently and accumulated over $20,000 so far and stands to make $100,000 from these easy to setup ventures (not bad).
Last week alone I personally earned over $2000 from one WSO in only a few days:
Earnings for 1 Week of WSO
A little History lesson
The WSO originates from the Warrior Forum. The Warrior forum is an internet marketing forum which has been around since 1997 well before I started online in 2005. It’s the place to be for some marketers and although you can get lost in the marketing chit chat, debates and arguments, it still remains the go to place to find reviews, info and WSO bargains. If you don’t get lost in the debates, the Warrior forum can be a great tool to help you within your business.
The WSO
A WSO costs $40 to advertise a WSO thread on the warrior forum. You can also bump your WSO back to the top of page 1 again once it drops off page 2. Each time you bump a WSO, it will cost you a further $40. Obviously if your WSO is dong well you should bump it for more exposure. This will greatly increase your chances of earning more over the advertising period that you have the WSO running.
You can read the rest of the rules here if you wish
For me WSO’s have really made an impact over the last few weeks. And will continue to do so over the next few months. However WSO’s continue to grow in popularity. Does this mean the advertising time spent on page 1 (prime advertising) will be short lived in the future and you will spend more money bumping than profiting? Right now I don’t think so, it’s a welcome addition for advertising as well as similar market places such as Clickbank, maybe even more so if your business angle is internet marketing.
WSO Pro
WSO Pro is a great tool for helping to manage your WSO sales. It’s easily setup to manage sales, update quantities and prices, and have them automatically delivered to your buyers.
The extract below is taken from the WSO Pro website which can be viewed here
Main features include:
• Have your WSOs delivered automatically
• Place a “Buy Now” button directly in your WSO
• Automatically change the price of your WSO based on # of sales
• Auto-updating Buy Now button when price changes
• Limit the quantity available to purchase.
• See statistics on views, clicks, sales, refunds and more
• Protect your products with automatic link protection
• Track downloads and ip addresses to make sure your product is not being shared
• Automatic “BUMP” notification when your WSO gets to page 3
• 1-Click BUMPing
• See Paypal transaction details with just 1 click
• Advanced users: Forward Paypal IPN data to your own server
• Auto-responder integration – automatically signup buyers to your autoresponder, including: Aweber, GetResponse, InfusionSoft, and others…
• JV with WarriorPlus – Allow WarriorPlus to promote your WSO for a commission. Make more sales!
• Sell License / Activation Codes – Have software or membership site that requires an activation or license code? Automatically get this information to your buyers.
• Download Blocking – Block any sale from being downloaded in case you detect fraud or sharing of links.
• Blacklisting – Finding users buying your stuff and then refunding or sharing? Stop them cold with the Blacklisting feature.
• WSO of the Day – Want your WSO featured as the “WSO of the Day” for massive exposure and sales?
• Sell subscriptions / memberships – Sell access to your membership site and other subscription-based items quickly and easily
• NEW! Affiliate Program – Allow other Warriors to sign-up and promote your WSO Pro offers. Instant affiliate payout, variable commissions, and more!
The above affiliate program is an essential tool for creating more revenue from promotions. This is one of the main reasons for the massive take off of the recent WSO’s. Also by using WSO Pro your WSO is added to the ‘WSO of the day’ mailing list, which again is another great way to make sales and generate more revenue.
The cost is $19 available from the warrior forum.
Worth it or Worthless?
Just like I mentioned above, I think the WSO is a welcome edition to any marketing business. If you are in the internet marketing niche then selling your products for a little less as a WSO will still make profit but also a great reputation within the marketing community.
Advertising popularity maybe an issue in the future if popularity continues to grow the way it is. But for now it’s looking good especially with the promotional aspects now that affiliates can get onboard and promote cheap quality products for big returns. This is ultimately the reason for anyone to grab their own WSO opportunity sooner rather than later.
What next?
My good friend John Thornhill has infact just created a huge product about WSO’s. In fact its an entire training course. I do urge you to check it out if WSO’s are for you (which they should be). Check it out HERE
I hope you enjoyed today’s post. I would love to hear your thoughts or experiences with WSO’s.

Hi Dan, great info on the way the WSO works, there is some great value on there as long as you are selective about what you buy. It’s easy to be seduced by the prices and end up buying lots of things you do not need. I have prepared my own WSO and am awaiting JT’s new product about WSO so that I can move this forward. I know the information will be top rate.
Congratulations on making so many sales.

Good new Robert. I hope it goes very well for you.
I have used WSO forums for purchasing a couple of things and they were well worth the price and what they offered. I do not use it for my own advertising since I am in the fitness industry, but I thin it is a great place to market certain products.
Thanks Denise
I have bought a couple of products from Warrior Forum and was pleased with the value!
Good stuff Mary
Hi Dan,
Yep, WSO’s must be the in thing at the moment. JT is having one every week I think. I’m at a standstill at the moment, not sure wh go,studying Public Domain stuff at the moment. I’ve also get computer problems, Blue screen of death at least 2, 3 sometimes 4 a day and mouse keeps freezing. Each time I get one I unplug something that’s connected to a USB. Sorry for digressing. I bought the Multi Profit Wesite from the WSO last week.
Well done and good luck for future sales.

Sounds like a motherboard issue with your PC Donald. Back it up before it goes pop completely.
Hi Dan,
Someone else mentioned the motherboard. I stopped using Firefox and started using IE again, so far so good. Will back up and see what happens. Thanks again mate.

Hi Daniel
I think with all WSO’s are like any other products, some good, some bad.
Pay your money and take your choice.
I have had both good and bad WSO’s, and the spate $5 WSO’s is obviously causing a buying frenzy.
I know JT is producing a new product about WSO’s, soon to be released.
Dee
Dee´s last [type] ..Are Internet Marketers getting desperate?
I agree Dee. I have seen JT’s product tonight and it looks great. I will be promoting it when it launches tomorrow.
Hi Daniel
If you want to test out an idea and generate a list of buyers in the IM niche then running a WSO is a great thing to do. Done well it will more than recoup the intial investment of $40.
Personally I would add digiresults in addition to WSO Pro as it won’t charge you to run the WSO, but you can’t list it in the market place until the initial WSO makes at least one sale – if you can’t manage that then it doesn’t really deserve to be promoted.
Nowadays I only really promote WSO’s as clickbank has lost all credability, and also I used to get some great deals on graphics and copywriting through WSO’s but it seems to be more dominated by the displaced marketers who are also fed up of clickbank.

Great comments as always Andrew. I know what you are saying about the old WSO deal. I think we are going to find it hard in the future to find some good deals which are not product related without really searching for them. They could slide off the board very fast indeed. Maybe WSO needs a category system? But then would it be going very clickbank?
book market http://www.digiresults.com/ looks like there are some decent products on there Andrew thanks for that.
Hi Dan,
That’s great stuff I now have a lot better understanding of the workings of the WSO .I only discovered the WSO recently I didn’t know how it worked but hear you showed us all the details. I’m now interested in the WSO so keep us up to date.Glad you invited me over to you blog again Thanks.
To Your Success

Zora
Look out for John Thrornhill’s new product today Zora it will teach you all you need to know about WSO’s. There are also some nice bonus item in there too.
Most WSO’s have been good deals for me as a buyer. As a seller, I find the trend to lowering prices worrisome. The advantage over Clickbank and Primus is that the sellers can’t hide behind a website and have to respond to questions quickly.
The disadvantage is that hot WSO’s are hot for only a week or so where they will be popular for a much longer period of time on other IM networks.
James The Marketing Hermit´s last [type] ..Getting Started With Facebook Advertising
Nice comments James, I agree with not being able to hide behind the support of website. You can still get the odd neg comment, but that can be resolved.
Hi
Good info about WSO ‘s.
I have a doubt(may be silly but i am new so)
you said “A WSO costs $40 to advertise a WSO thread on the warrior forum.”
and again “The cost is $19 available from the warrior forum”
I am confused a little…
In order to be an affiliate for the wso offers only $3.99/month is required right ?
then what is this $19 ….?
Prasanth´s last [type] ..Am I Newbie or Overloaded?
It’s $40 to create and advertise a WSO on the WSO thread of the Warrior forum. The $19 is to buy WSO pro which you can use to help promote the WSO. It’s not essential but it helps. here is the link:
http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/128050-still-not-using-warrior-special-offer-pro-over-10-9-million-says-you-should.html
The answer to your promotional question is yes it does cost $3.99 to promote any WSO that is listed with WSO Pro. However you don’t have to use it you setup your own WSO with your Clickbank products too. There are different ways and means of setting them up and they all have advantages and disadvantages.
Could you get WSO sales promoting from a blog? I’ve noticed several blogs lately that are WSO oriented only. Or must you have a list? You say you are promoting JT, what if I wanted you to promote my WSO would you Daniel?
JB
Hey JB, yes sure you can if you use Warrior plus or have any type of affiliate link to the WSO you can promote from a blog. It’s the same as promoting from a mailing list really but using your blog traffic. Rather than promoting to your list you promote to your readers, although I would say readers and list go hand in hand.
If you can get the key words right and make it to the 1st 1 or 2 pages of Google you are in with a chance as WSO is a hot topic right now. This way you would get readers.
As for promoting a WSO, I really would have to see the product.
Daniel,
I have purchase a couple of things off of WSO and have been pleased with what I received. I think you could spend a lot, a little at a time and get nothing if you were not careful.
I have been picky about who was promoting what I was buying. By doing this I think I have received quality products.
Good post on how WSO works.

Hey Dee, I know what you mean, you do have to be careful when looking for the right products. But isn’t this true fro any products out there
Hi Dan,
I have bought a few WSO’s myself and have to say they are great value.
I just hope the forum doesn’t get flooded with crap offers and that it doesn’t become the only place in the world to sell IM related stuff.
Being one of John’s students I have been fortunate enough to see some of the workings behind his WSO Domination and he has put a lot of effort into it. He is becoming the king of over deliverance and his products just get better and better.
Dave
With the WSO being so hot at the moment, I think you will find that there are going to be a lot jumping on the band wagon. We all will just have to be careful what we buy or what is recommended. The WSO is in nature cheap, so it won’t be a great loss and you can always refund.
I don’t think it will become the only place to sell IM stuff, just another place to sell IM stuff. Clickbank have changed a lot of rules lately to try to claw back some reputation, they are still number one for me.
I have known and worked alongside John even before IM and his product skills have grown so much. If you cant provide value to your subscribers then don’t do it. People who try to make a fast buck in this business don’t last long. (wow I sound serious
).
Nice stats Dan.
Warrior Forum is a great place to both learn and earn. I was quite impressed with John’s WSO stats. bearing in mind he doesn’t spend too much time on the site. His sales were really impressive.
When’s your next planned promo?
DesDrec´s last [type] ..My 25 Best Traffic Sources For 2012 – How To Increase Traffic To Your Blog or Website
I have a couple in the pipeline at the moment which I will be emailing over the next few days. There is some really good stuff which I have bought recently which I think people need to know about.
Cool, look forward to it.
You know what for now the WSO sucks, I found many rehash and junk product that the developer never gives a refund, fuck there guarantee… Done that, warrior forum suppose to be helping people but not at this time.. So many people making junk product that newbies tend to buy many wso’s and learnt the wrong way.
Now I found this site and I keep buying wso’s in a bargain just to test what the product is all about. You know what I buy from Fiverr.com for $5. Now If I were you buy from Fiverr.com just search warrior special offers or warior offers and there are many of them selling wso’s, just look for a good seller feedback and you can’t be wrong. If the product you bought is worth in every penny then you can buy it again from the warrior forum just to support the owner and that what I did.
I also received reports that many warriors selling wso that their reveiws are coming from fiverr.com
they pay for $5 just to get a review of their product!!! What a shame to these people doing this.
I hope this helps to the newbies out there…
Hey Denso, I agree wit you there are some bad eggs in marketing just because of the hot topic the WSO is getting right now. However on the other side of the coin there are some great products in there. I’m not just using John Thornhill as this is what his post is about, but he is a genuine guy and gives 100% into his products, unlike some poor products or rehashed junk jus like you say.
Due to the nature of the internet and online marketing, we all know it brings with it dishonesty and distrust. This is why we need to find the trustworthy people. It’s like you say check the feedback and support the good products.
Thanks Denso great comment.
Hi Daniel,
Yeah I also agree with you but the problem is its hard to find a trustworthy people, imagine how many wso’s we’re getting in the warrior forum daily… I don’t believe in the reviews anymore even the old warrior members, I think they’re helping each other to pretend that the product is good even they did not test it.
Now I found a new site that I can test tons of wso’s for $14.95 only lol too cheap for 30 days of testing. As always I’ll support the product owner if its worth it, not a copycat cat or repack for the previous years…
Best regards!
Hey Dan,
The WF is totally worth it but you have to be able to know how to walk in mine covered fields.
I have bought a few ( more than five, less than 10) WSOs myself and have been VERY satisfied with what I have received but also very disappointed a couple of occasions (same marketer, not buying again from him).
As a buyer I have bought premium plugins, training courses, coaching courses, from everything like putting products on Clickbank from scratch step by step to profiting with facebook.
Real programs, with real people, with genuine value.
As a WSO publisher/seller, I still haven’t done it yet.
I’m a War Room member already (it’s a must to publish WSOs) and I recommend this to everyone even if you never plan to sell a WSO.
I will create my first WSO I believe for January, as I don’t want to start with a bad rep.
I want to create the best product I can for a starter and then build on baby steps from there.
The WSO Domination program looks amazing so I guess that is a great way to start training on how to do WSOs the proper way. (the WF can backfire really bad if you just publish anything without the proper considerations)
Again, another great article Dan, take care and speak soon!

The WF can be like a minefield like you say, but it’s always a place to pick up a bargain. I think it’s like a lottery whether you get value or not from such a low price, but hey you can always refund if it’s not right for you.
I should be taking part in more WSO activity next year. It’s seems to be turning into stable income stream.
Hi, Dan. Hope Christmas was great for you and the family.
I have been posting a goodly number of comments on Sergio Felix’s blog, where I noticed that you, too, are active there. It was there, just earlier tonight, that I found out about the Seven Link Challenge, and visited your blog via a link on Sergio’s blog. Through that link, I spotted some of your comments about WSO. Recently, I signed up for JT’s course on the WSO. I hope to join it and place an item there for sale in the very near future. Got to give it a try, see what happens.
Hope you and yours have a happy, healthful and prosperous New Year.
Stay well.
Thanks Joe we had a great time opening presents, and sharing the day together. I love Christmas and family time, it really is a magical time of year. Hope the course is going well for you. We all have to try things to move forward. Thanks again Joe.
