Kristine,
What I've done as late is go out to some of the market place and see if they have a oto offer and I have noticed that one of the clients I purchased from in the past actually did this:

* Did NOT offer a one time offer before my purchase (I liked this fact b/c that too at times can be a turn off)
* But DID offer the OTO on the down load/thankyou page. Before you could download the product you were taken to a Thank you for Downloading my product, yada yada yada,... and then it had a sales pitch that said: "Wait...." and then went on to say that this is the only time they will ever see this offer and to buy now they would need to click YES, or if they said NO it would go straight to the download page of the product they bought


I think this is a brilliant strategy and will implement this in my offer next product.

Hope this gives you another angle as it did for me.
