Hey guys, and welcome back to Make that Sea Change – as you are all probably aware, one of the main focuses of this site is to assist you in finding good ways to earn money online so that you can fund your own sea change in whatever fashion that may be for you. Those of you familiar with my work will also know that I am a big fan of getting as much training as possible and from a number of different areas. Today I am looking into a site that offers to teach you how to “create short content to profit with immediately” with my Instructo Review.

Ok, so there are two main things I want to check out here – first, is the training platform worth the price of admission ($27)? And secondly, can I create short content to profit with immediately? I would also like to check out if there are other platforms or programs that I need to purchase to make this happen as well.

For this review, I will run you through:

• What it is
• How it works
• Pros and Cons
• Cost
• My recommendations

Is the training platform worth the price of admission? If you look at the training materials only – then I think $27 is a fair price. Can I create short content to profit with immediately? No, there are no tools included so unless you have that already, then I think this may take you a little time.

Do I recommend it? – If you have some infrastructure behind you then it will be of assistance. If not, then I would probably suggest getting that set up elsewhere first… Read on to see why…

What is Instructo?

Instructo is an online training module that will run you through the process of creating online tutorials to either drive traffic to a website or make sales. Online tutorials are a great tool for this purpose as they assist in filling a reason that most of us conduct online searches – to solve problems. And if you are able to solve problems for visitors to your social media pages or websites, then you will go along way to driving sales and making money.

The training will take you through the steps required to create online tutorial via the use of e-Books and training videos.

What do you get?

Ok, so, for my $27 I received the following:

• Instructo Guide
  • The Instructo guide is a 91 page e-Book that talks the reader through each of the steps required to research, build and promote online tutorials and ‘how to’ instructionals.

• Cheat sheet
  • A ‘highlights’ version of the Instructo Guide.
• Video tutorials
  • 5 video tutorials covering the content outlined in the Instructo guide above. These are:
    • Topics and Keywords
    • Researching Content
    • Organizing and Outlining
    • Tutorial Creation
    • Images for Tutorials
• 3 ‘Done for You’ PowerPoint templates
• Excel list of 25 Keyword examples
• Bonus Guides – 3 e-Books
  • Promoting Content with Photographs
  • Visual Content Creation

The content is comprehensive and well written. There are extensive links to suggested tools to use when following the instructions however no tools are provided.

At a glance

Best For: Those looking to create online tutorials but no sure how to get started

Recommended: Maybe…. The content is quite good – there are just a few holes that I think could restrict success with this tool alone – please see my explanation below:

Pros

• The information provided is sound and very well written.
• There is enough content to give a newbie a good grounding in the steps required.
• 7 Day money back guarantee.
• The developer is real and accessible.

Cons

• No free trial option.
• There are no tools to use for creation.
• The method required to publish content is a little ambiguous.
• You cannot make money with this product alone.

How much is it?

• Front End Offer $27
• Upsell 1 – 20 Professionally designed visual templates $27
• Upsell 2 – 20x Profits with Easy to Create content $47
• Upsell 3 – Extended video training $37
• Upsell 4 – Easy Photoshop – $27 – This one was confusing as it was after the final purchase welcome page

Do I recommend it?

As I have said above, the content that you get is quite good and probably worth the $27 I paid for it. The main sticking point I have here is that the sales page promises that you will be able to create short content to profit immediately. I just cannot see this as being the case due to the fact that there are no tools on which to build your content, and that regardless of where you are planning to publish your content, you still need to build a following and trust.

There are some upsells there that may provide a few more tangible products to utilise but in reality, there are a few tools to be sourced – granted, many for free – and sharing platforms created such as the outlined areas of Social media and marketplace websites. At the end of the day I like the content, and it really could be helpful to someone looking to start out making an online income (or enhancing current income) with online tutorial and instruction guides, I would just like to have seen a bit more in regards to tools etc. there.

How does it compare to my #1 Recommendation?

Look, even though the Instructo sales page says you don’t need one, I think if you have a website or social media platform that is working well for you and you wanted to add some instruction guides or tutorials to it, then there may be some good content there to assist you. It is maybe a little unfair then to compare it to the platform I recommend as in its defense, it does not proclaim to be an all encompassing platform. It is a training program talking about making money online however so if you are looking to build a solid and sustainable business from the ground up, then I recommend that you give Wealthy Affiliate a try.
