It’s the Mindmap I created when I was working on WSO Domination.

It includes everything you would need to know when creating a product or WSO, and when I say everything I mean everything. I cover topics such as:-

• Product Creation
• Sales Page Creation
• Content Creation
• Everything

Make sure you check this out and be sure to consult it when you’re working on your next product/WSO. You can download the Mindmap below.

As always your questions and comments are more than welcome.

After creating the MindMap I decided to post it on Facebook and the feedback has been incredible. You can check out the post on my Facebook wall here.

It seems this MindMap has been a revelation for a lot of people, something I never planned but if it’s offering tremendous value and can help others then that’s something I am proud of and want to share, hence this blog post.

If you check out the MindMap you’ll learn 3 things that you must do to ensure a successful WSO.

1. Your WSO must offer incredible value
2. You must put tools in place to recruit affiliates
3. You must have an effective sales funnel

You can download the mindmap from the link below, check it out and if you have any questions please leave a comment and I’ll reply on the blog.

Also, I am thinking of putting together a pitch free webinar where I talk about what is covered in the mindmap in great detail, if this is something you’d like to see me do please let me know by leaving a comment below.

Would this be a bad thing? Well actually I think it would but that post brought up some interesting discussion. It’s clear to see that listing a Warrior Special Offer using PayPal as a payment processor can put your account at risk and here’s why. Imagine this scenario?

You’ve been doing well online, putting around $500 – $1000 through your PayPal account each month. Things are looking good and your business is growing each month.

You then decide you want to create a Warrior Special Offer to teach others your skills. So you list your offer and set up an affiliate program, your Warrior Special Offer becomes a huge success and makes WSO of the day and you generate $10,000 in sales within 48 hours.

You are celebrating, you’ve made it, this is it, the big one, champagne all round, let’s book a vacation, I think I’ll look at buying a new car, the new iPad 3, woooo hoooo.

Later that day you login to your PayPal account to check your balance only to be greeted by this message …

… Your PayPal account has been limited.

Why would this happen? Well first of all if you’ve just gone from a $50 day to a $10,000 day flags will be raised as PayPal want to know what’s up. There’s a chance you’ll have some refund requests as you’ve just processed a ton of sales and you may even have the odd charge-back, and at this moment in time PayPal have no idea what’s going on. So it’s inevitable that a member of staff will check this out.

And what do they see? An outrageous title, crazy income claims, promises of instant success and automated wealth, (yes, I know not all WSO’s are like this but many are) and a payment button that tracks back to an Internet Marketing forum. Put yourself in the reps shoes, what would you do?

Of course you would limit the account pending further investigation.

This is happening time and time again because so many WSO sellers are too inexperienced to know better. They don’t think for a second that they may be breaking PayPal’s TOS. In fact most WSO’s are breaking at least one of PayPal’s terms by not having a privacy policy in place.

This is where the problem lies, most Warrior Special Offers don’t go through any form of approval process, you could be making tons of mistakes and you would never know and the first you would know about it is when PayPal terminate your account. It’s a very dangerous game to play.

So how can we stop this happening? Well the simple solution is to use ClickBank.

I have already given you 10 reasons why ClickBank is the perfect platform for WSO’s and there is one reason I actually forgot about, here it is.

When you list a product via ClickBank it has to go through an approval process. This reason alone is a reason to use ClickBank, they will tell you if you need to change any income claims, titles, statements, testimonials and in fact anything else that may be against their terms.

However, once your product is approved you are free to list it on the Warrior Forum as a Warrior Special Offer

But John, how do I list a WSO using ClickBank?

Simple, you invest a measly $10 in WSO Domination. This walks you through everything you need to know, step by step.

With more and more people losing their PayPal accounts people are looking for a solution, ClickBank is the solution.

Remember where you heard it first.

1, It’s real easy for affiliates to promote a WSO via ClickBank, all they need is their ClickBank ID, there is no need to approve affiliates and no worrying about approving affiliates you don’t know.

2, ClickBank takes care of refunds, paying affiliates, taxes, vat, everything.

3, If you run a WSO with a partner you can set up a ClickBank JV Contract and not worry about splitting payments, again, ClickBank takes care of refunds, paying affiliates, taxes, vat and it’s all split with you and your JV partner.

4. You can use the ClickBank JV feature to recruit more affiliates by offering them a slice of all your profits. EG. Dear mr big guy, if you promote my WSO I’ll give you 10% of everything it earns for the next 7 days.

5. You can integrate multiple one click upsells, downsells, recurring billing products, etc.

6. With special software you can have your main hoplink going to your main product at the regular price and your WSO re-directing the discounted version of your discounted product to your WSO. If you want to see this in action note how this hoplink goes to our main sales page:

http://thornhill.mpmonthly.hop.clickbank.net

And this hoplink’ goes to the WSO:

http://thornhill.mpmonthly.hop.clickbank.net/?page=wso

Here’s an example of one of our WSO JV pages that uses ClickBank, this WSO has done over 50k in sales:

7. More and more affiliates are refusing to promote WSO’s via Warrior Plus because of the risks associated with PayPal and this figure can only grow.

8. I know I’ve mentioned ClickBank takes care of refunds but this can be a real issue with Warrior Plus and other affiliate platforms that rotate payments. Affiliate platforms that rotate payments send one payment to the product creator and then one to the affiliate on a rotation system.

If someone wants a refund they usually go to the WSO seller but more often than not the payment goes to an affiliate, I think you can see how this can lead to problems. How many threads do you see go bad because a refund doesn’t get processed in a timely manner? With ClickBank you are in control of refunds and you never ever have to worry about an affiliate not processing a refund.

9. ClickBank is super reliable, I’ve never seen it go down, ever.

10. The biggest reason of all, you will never be looking over your shoulder waiting for the email from PayPal telling you your account is limited. This alone is a reason to go with ClickBank.

As more and more WSO sellers see their PayPal accounts becoming limited ClickBank seems to be the perfect alternative. I’d love to hear what you think so please feel free to comment.

Can you spot the difference between these two Warrior Special Offers?

WSO Domination – The Program That Can Teach Anyone to Create a WSO That Sells

Don’t List Another WSO Without This

You got it, they are both for the same product.

However, while the product is the same I am using two different affiliate programs, one uses ClickBank and the other is using Warrior Plus.

By doing this I am effectively putting my product in front of two sets of affiliates via their marketplaces.

I actually never planned to do this but I wanted to test how Warrior Plus works out and so far I’m happy with the results. However, it struck me that by doing what I did, I am now getting my offer in front of more affiliates and getting affiliates on board is the key to a successful product.

I could even go one further and use other affiliate programs such as JV Zoo, if I did this I would be taking advantage of their marketplace as well.

This isn’t hard to set up as you will already have a sales page, thank you page and affiliate page. Just remember if you do this you’ll need to keep everything separate by having completely different thank you pages, autoresponder messages and sales pages as you obviously want to make sure affiliates get rewarded for their efforts. So if an affiliate generates a sale via Warrior Plus I want to make sure that I only promote the Warrior Plus version of the upsell.

Here are my two different upsell pages. Note the different payment processors.

ClickBank

Warrior Plus

So if you already have a product for sale online consider using an additional affiliate program and you will attract more affiliates, how do I know this? Because I’m doing it

1. Increase Your Post Count.
Increase your post count, by simply posting on the Warrior Forum, but be sure to give value by asking and answering questions and avoiding “me too” comments. It isn’t hard to genuinely increase your post count by simply browsing the forum, finding a thread that interests you and getting involved in the conversation. Above all GIVE VALUE!

2. Use High Quality Graphics.
Using high quality graphics on your WSO makes the whole thing look a lot more professional. Grainy, unclear and low quality images can really ruin the look of any WSO and can make it look “cheap.” Also avoid using a white background on your images as the Warrior Forum is an off white color. Use a png format image or make sure your images have the hex code f5f5f5.

3. Always Reply Quickly, Confidently and Positively to any Queries.
When you receive questions about your WSO make sure you answer quickly. Be confident in your responses and if you need to do some research before you answer any questions. If people don’t have confidence in your replies they wont have any confidence in your product.

4. Consider Partnering up With Someone.
“Two heads are better than one.” That phrase applies to most things, including a WSO, as with any offer you if you can partner up with a fellow marketer then you could potentially double your sales. With two marketers comes, two mailing lists, two affiliates lists and two sets of skills and expertise. This would also be a good idea for someone with no WSO experience, if you could partner up with someone who is familiar with launching WSO’s then obviously that would be invaluable.

5. Research WSO’s Related to Your Product.
When trying to create a successful WSO surely the best thing to do would be to take a look at current successful WSO’s related to your own to get ideas on how to make your own as good as it can be. Obviously don’t just go copying someone else’s WSO but there is no harm in looking for ideas and tips on how to provide more value and make more sales. So check out the most successful WSO‘s and ‘model’ them when you create your own.

6. Create an Affiliates Page.
Why do 99% of marketers who list WSO‘s not have a dedicated affiliates page? If you want to attract affiliates create a dedicated page and give them all the info they need about your product. The front end offer, sales flow, price, commissions, etc. Give them email copy, blog copy, graphics and anything else they may need to promote your WSO. Most affiliates are lazy and you need to go out of your way to make sure they have everything they need. Here is an example of a successful affiliates page for one of my WSO’s.

7. Use an Attention Grabbing Title and Headline.
This really does go without saying, an attention grabbing title and headline is a must for any Warrior Special Offer. This is the first thing that any potential customer will see when browsing the Warrior Forum and when viewing your WSO, so it needs to be enticing enough to keep the visitor on the page and ultimately reading your sales copy.

8. Show People Exactly What They Get.
When selling any product it is vital that any potential customer knows exactly what it is they are going to be buying, otherwise they simply won’t buy it. You wouldn’t buy a house without having a good look round would you? You can do this by creating video tours, taking screen shots and explaining exactly what the product delivers. Not only can this increase conversions but it also keeps refund rates down

9. Make The Offer a “No Brainer”.
Make them an offer they cant refuse. You should always try to make sure you offer as much value for money as you can, If you have been browsing the Warrior Forum for any length of time you may have noticed that most WSO’s are very, very low cost. After all they are called Warrior Special Offers. If you can make it so that your product offers huge value for money then rest assured that the sales will flood in. I have actually found $5 to be the magic price point and have sold many of my products that originally cost $97 for only $5 as a Warrior Special Offer. Now you may be thinking that by making your offer low cost that you will not make much money, well you’d be wrong, yes each initial sale with be low, but you will make a lot more total sales and there is always more money to be made with Upsells.

10. Always Have Upsells/Downsells.
Now come on, anyone who has been in the Internet Marketing business for more than 5 minutes should know that if you haven’t got upsells and or downsells in your offer then you are simply throwing money away. I don’t want to go to much into how they work and why they are so important but just think of this. Anyone who buys your product, is in the buying mood, they are sitting there with credit card in hand, on your page, they obviously like what you sell or they wouldn’t have bought your first offer. So why not offer them something else some extra information, some more value? You would be crazy not to right? So make sure you have an upsell and or downsell in place, don’t throw money away. Also, having upsells in place attracts more affiliates as they know they can increase their commissions.

There you go, 10 red hot tips to help you list a successful Warrior Special Offer. Follow these 10 tips and WSO success is almost guaranteed.
