There are some great ideas for sale on there but the money really is to made by offering your own WSO. There are even WSO’s offering to show you how to set up a successful WSO.
This part of the forum can also be used for offering something for free with the sole intention of building your mailing list.
Another extremely popular part of the forum is the Warriors For Hire section. If you have a skill that other members need you are able to hire out your services. This is very popular amongst the likes of article writers who can fill up their order books for weeks in advance after putting up a simple post in this forum.
You have a ready made group of people looking for work to be done so if you have something to offer the internet marketing niche you will find yourself with a never ending supply of customers.
On the main forum you can see that there is lots of great advice and if you get stuck and need any help or even if you just have a question to ask you find many people willing to help.
It is only quite recently that The Warrior Forum has started charging to enter the best sections but many people have stated that they think it is a great move.
Many people realised how easy it had become to offer something on the WSO forum and to make money that way that some dodgy characters had started to get involved and basically started to sell rubbish.
I have a word of warning though, especially if you aim to frequent the WSO forum, and that warning is that it is highly addictive.
A WSO is a Warrior Special Offer. For $20 you can create an ad for a product you have developed yourself (no affiliate or PLR stuff). There are a number of rules for running WSOs, but you can get those at the forum. One rule is that it must be “special” meaning that you must offer Warriors a better price than you offer the general public.
You create your ad using the editor provided (you don’t need to use any HTML). When you get it right you submit it. Shortly thereafter it will be approved by a moderator if all is well. You then get a message giving you a link to make your $20 payment. Your WSO then goes live and will appear at the top of Page 1 of the ads.
With each new WSO your ad will get bumped down one position. If you are lucky it will stay on Page 1 for 24 hours. If the Forum is busy it may move to Page 2 within 4-5 hours. Most of your sales come when it is still on Page 1.
There are individuals who are very good at running ads who can knock down hundreds, even thousands of dollars a week. Many of the pros have 3-4 WSOs running all the time.
Here are some cautions though: Although it is against the rules of the the Warrior Forum, some individuals will likely as you for a free copy of your product promising to read through it and post a great testimonial for it.
(The more people who post good comments below your ad, the more sales you will make), Don’t fall for this. They will get your product and you will never get the promised comment.
Other may private message you tell you of their desperate financial situation and they want your product but can’t afford it. They will ask for your product and promise to pay you later–it’s a scam, don’t fall for it!
Do not be tempted to include false promises of earnings in your WSO. Sure, if you have made some serious cash with your product you can post screen shots of earnings if you wish–but this is abused. If you’re caught doctoring these screen shots you’ll likely get banned from the forum.
Make sure that your offer is “special”. A very large percentage of the ads run are put up by people who throw together a product and slap it up as a WSO when they don’t even have a site set up to sell it on.
This is technically against the rules–you should be selling your product online elsewhere and your WSO gives a better price than the general public gets. This is greatly abused on the Warrior Forum.
Some people will Google up your product name to see if you are really selling it elsewhere–if you’re not, someone may call you on that. Still, huge numbers of ads are set up that way.
