When to Launch a WSO?

Today. Right this moment.

Sure, there are specific good days and times to launch WSOs -- and someone will be along shortly to share their data. It's good data, I'm not disputing that.

Problem is, those days and times get shared a lot on the forum. So everyone and their brother starts launching and bumping at that time. Your WSO disappears the second you launch yours.

So instead of launching at that "best" time that every other member knows about, find your own best time. Study the traffic patterns on the site. Get a feel for when everyone else is launching. Find a happy medium between high traffic and low launches/bumps.

And then test it all for yourself.

When it is ready.

When your specific target market is surfing the WSO area.

When you've had your breakfast and brushed your teeth.

When your paypal account could use some help.

When it's a full moon on a Friday night, after 2am Eastern time.

When you are ready.

When your WSO is ready. Seriously, there is no time of day or day of the week that is going to guarantee the success of your WSO. It has a lot more to do with the product itself than anything else. You can always bump your WSO (at a cost of $40) when it reaches Page 3 so you can test bumping it on different days and times later. As for launching, just get the product out there.

Some people will tell you to launch when there are a lot of viewers in the WSO forum - but this obviously means your WSO is going to drop down and off Page 1 much faster as a lot of others will be bumping or launching their WSO's at that time also.

If you choose to do it when there are less people in the WSO forum then your WSO may stay up on the front page longer because there are less people launching or bumping. No one knows the secret formula so don't get too worried about it.

Just get the thing launched.

Thanks, my fellow warriors.
I will get it out there as soon as it's ready....
Your gonna love it!

We ran a 2 week test bumping at different times of the day, it didn't make much difference - the only difference was the location of customers.

But when you're bumping at the same time every day, your sales will slowly diminish (because, I believe, that people are looking at WSOs at roughly the same time every day) so you have to bump at different times of the day to keep the sales coming in.

make sure it is where a lot of people are watching ! also don't go near week ends !
maybe monday,tuesday at 8 or 9 pm

I have employed all the bumping formulas people recommend on the forum to get better results. I cannot see any difference between them, results-wise.

It seems to me you either get a rush of sales, then it slows up, or you start very slow, and it builds day by day. That's the only difference in bumping by day/time I've seen.

Anytime.. Basically when it is ready. Good luck

It will always change as the flow of the internet does. I have noticed around 2pm EST on any given day traffic rises to my offer/site.

Hi qsilver,

I would suggest you to get the product created and launch as a WSO as soon as possible. I believe as long as your offer is good and in demand. Everyone who comes to your thread will want your WSO.

As for me, I bump a few times for my WSO at different times of the day. The list builds up slowly.

Hope it helps,

Raymond

Never launch anything in the summer though as people are too busy outside and not on their computers like they are in the winter.

I've launched one on Saturday morning, got a very small result. Then bumped it on a tuesday morning and got a wicked response. I think it just depends.

I see you are a War Room member.
Go to war room threads, and search this title " Do you post WSOs? Free Application for you guys..."

Hope this help.....free tool from war room member

At the Warrior Networking event a few weeks ago they mentioned that the slower times where Friday to Sunday. But that doesn't mean it wont sell and not that its a bad time to launch.

Because if everyone launches on a Monday, then that means your WSO will only be on the first page for a few hours and get bumped down where no one will see it.

Just launch it when its ready.


I launched on Friday night at 10pm. Why? Because that was when it was done and ready to go. Since launch day I have sold more than 1200 copies and never even got WSO of the day.

Honestly, I ran a WSO and it flopped (I know, I know, it was on an old account and I'm back at this forum for the second time. I lost the email address and was too lazy to try to recover it, yada yada...)

Anyway, I spent hours, days and weeks on it and only got 1 sale. Even though I got glowing reviews from my reviewers. This was when it was only $20 to run a WSO and you need not be a War Room member.

If I were to do it again, I would actually use the forums to build a following and possibly a list. I guess the procedure is joining the War Room, then post a free WSO or something to get people on your list and to prove that you do know what you are talking about.

Now that you have a following, post your WSO, announce to your list , give out samples (if you want), ???, then profit.

That's my my opinion, anyway..,

Here's something to think about. Folks are coming online every day and almost every hour looking for something new. These will be fresh eyes and new people. They just might be looking for what you are selling. The best time to fish is when the fish are biting. Some have suggested not launching when the forum is crowded--but that sounds like poor thinking. The more people looking the better you will be. So what if your WSO goes off the board faster...more people have seen it or been exposed to it. The people who have suggested you launch soon as you are ready--have it right. Go forward and launch. Good luck.

Maybe on evening times (US time), Saturdays and Sundays, when most Warriors are online.

Yesterday.

The second best day and time is now.

Exercise: estimate how much money you will make today by NOT launching your WSO.

There are no specific times that are best. You just need to make sure that your product over delivers and has excellent value. If you can get good feedback from a lot of people and good comments from reviewers, your product will make more money.

Social proof sells products in the WSO forum. If you get WSO of the day, you will make a lot of money. The only way to get it is by over delivering and charging a relatively low price.

Best strategy is first give something away for free, build your list get some insight into things before creating wso. Offer something of value from the start and then the market will bite!

I hear Tuesday mornings at 4:17 am works best.

For what I have been doing my reaserch, the best time is on Monday in the afternoon europian time.. At least there is usually the most visitors online.. But you got to try if it is really the best for your lunch..

One thing to bear in mind - you may have decided exactly what time you want to post your WSO but you also have to take into account how long it takes to get approved and paid for.

It is very interesting reading the different opinions but the bottom line seems to be that there is no perfect time. Just do it when you are ready.

Stay away from Sunday through Thursday and don't launch on a Friday or over the weekend.

I've found weekends to be slow so I don't bump a WSO on the weekends. You want to find out what days have the most traffic, just go to the main page and take note of the days and time and record the traffic numbers. It'll give you a good idea of the busiest days.

When you target the US:

Launch around noon (EST). Then you'll have handled the main issues (review copies, possible errors etc.) by dinner time.

Many warriors are part time guys. That means they have a day job. They go to their computer after dinner. That is when you want to have your WSO launched completely.

I woud say monday-thursday and time 9 PM EST

I've seen a lot of wso launches start off with a lot of glitches, download links not working etc.
so I plan to just launch when it's ready....and when I have plenty of time to babysit it for the first few hours.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

there are about 2500 viewers on the WSO forum at any one time, including saturdays and sundays. when there are more viewers, there will also be more launches. when there are less viewers, there will be less launches. Its the law of the free market.

This makes launching anytime the same, of course the difference is the target market. But the numbers are the same. at different times different areas are experiencing daylight and will be online.

There is always at least a couple thousand visitors on the forum, and a good majority of them can be found in the WSO section. I don't think a shortage of customers is the worry here, its the competition. As many others have stated, posting at the wrong time can have your offer knocked down the pages in no time. I would watch the section for a week or two, as the most recent trends are often the best tell. Find the slowest periods, and launch during one of these times. Plenty will see your offer, and the less you have to compete with, the better.

Yes...of course when everything is ready...

there is a good wso book thats all about wso's and when to launch - i think tuesday is teh peak day of the Internet - thursday for wso's -

I just posted a message on the main board and some guys referred me to here.

I think that the best thing to do is experiment on it and then find your own times to post and Bump your thread.

I also think that having some good and solid affiliates promoting your offer will surely help even if your offer drops to page 3 and over.

I think George Brown has a good report on this type of issue...10k in 7 Days or something is it folks? Anyway there is some good stuff there

As strange as it may sound, Tuesday morning seems to work better than say, Sunday afternoon.

It's interesting to hear all the different opinions. I think one thing that hasn't been mentioned is taking a look at the WSO offers that are going to be directly below you to make sure yours will stand out next to them. Obviously you can't tell what will be able but you can make sure you win at least half the fight
