With respect to Chris Munch & Kenster, both make some good points, but I'd like to offer a slightly alternative view. I launched my first WSO in July and it brought in ~8k. It was dimesale starting at $12 and set to 50% commission with no OTO.
Could I have made more money with an OTO and bigger commissions to attract some of the bigger affiliates? Probably, but I wouldn't recommend going down that route to begin with - it takes time, money and skills to develop a funnel like that. I only had a small handful of targeted affiliates lined up prior to launch, but in reality most affiliates came onboard one or two days after I launched the product.
What I focused on was creating a great product with a unique angle, in a hot market. Word spreads fast and I was totally shocked when some of the biggest names out there started jumping onboard once they saw the reviews on the sales thread.
What you have got to remember is that there are TONS of affiliate combing the warrior forum every day actively looking for something to promote. There are only so many times an affiliate can/will promote a 'How to rank your video in Youtube' wso to their list before they start looking like a d*$k and losing subscribers. Make your product unique, make it stand out from the crowd and the money will follow.
