My PLR ATM Review

Now that I have purchased PLR ATM by Tiffany Dow and have made my way through the course, I'd like to give my honest review.

The Outside

First, let's look at the sales page and price. Tiffany has one of the shorter sales pages that I have ever seen. She really believes in no fluff marketing, so she gets right to the point. There is no promise of making millions overnight, or having the ability to purchase Ferraris in just one month. Tiffany is as honest as they come, and will not lead you astray with fancy cars or dollar signs.

The price of PLR ATM has been a concern for some. However, I think that with the wealth of information given in this product, as well as its bonuses, it really is a sound investment. If you go on to make just half of what Tiffany has with her own PLR store, wouldn't the $67 be worth it?

The Inside

Inside PLR ATM, Tiffany has broken down the idea of creating your own PLR store into different sections. This is very beneficial, especially to newbies who can easily suffer from information overload. As you go through this manual, you will be able to stop and take a break at each step. There's no rush here, so you can only do one step each day if you wish.

There are videos that correspond to each step, so you will have two ways to soak in the information. You should first read through the section, and then watch the video. Tiffany is all about visual information, so she reiterates the major points of each section within the video, and all shows you how to do some of the tasks. Having an over the shoulder look is helpful for many people.

The Break Down

Let's take more in-depth look at PLR ATM.

The Main Guide

The ebook that comes with PLR ATM is a 52 page guide that will walk you through each step of making money with a PLR store. There are 8 steps total, which is not a lot if you do just a little each time. However, if you decide to read through the whole book and take action immediately, you could have your PLR site up and running within a day.

Tiffany doesn't waste any time getting into the nitty gritty of the topic. She begins the book with a FAQ section that informs the reader what it is and why it is so beneficial.

Step 1 talks about knowing which PLR topics will sell well for you. Tiffany talks about her previous experiences with off the wall topics, and how they can do surprising well in terms of revenue. She offers a few different places where you can start to gain ideas for writing your content. She highly recommends listening to your customers, as many of them have their own requests for PLR topics. She also touches on keyword research in this section.

Step 2 discusses the different forms of PLR that you can sell, from blog posts and articles to reports and ebooks. Tiffany shares what she thinks sells well. She also mentions how to create each different type of PLR, as far as word count and the presentation of the information. She talks about the proper format in which to deliver the content to the customers, as well as additional services you can offer along with your PLR to earn more money with your site.

Step 3 is all about creating the content. Here, Tiffany offers you two options: ghostwriting or writing it yourself. She discusses how to hire the best ghostwriters to get good content, and how to tweak it to make it your own. If you choose to write it yourself, Tiffany gives you a lot of pointers on that route. She even shares an article with you and walks you through its creation. She also touches on how to create the other types of PLR that you could sell.

Step 4 involves setting up your PLR site. She shows you the free as well as paid ways of creating a website and delivering the content that a customer purchases. It is not necessary to have a ton of technical knowledge, as the videos that correspond to these tasks walk you through them in a step by step form. Just following everything that Tiffany does will allow you to set up your own site. She also mentions list building and how to write the sales copy for your site in this step.

Step 5 offers several different specials that you can run when you want to make some quick cash on your PLR store. Tiffany shares a few scenarios where she ran these deals, and even provides the amount of money they each made her. This step is great if you need some extra cash with 1 or 2 days.

Step 6 talks about the promotion of your PLR packages. Of course, Tiffany mentions the power of a list, but also says it is not necessary to have one to make money. In the beginning, you will not have a list and will need to find other ways to get traffic to your site. She mentions several ways in which this can be done. Her main source of traffic comes from the search engines, so she gives information on how to get your pages ranked so that someone will find you when they look for certain niche PLR.

Step 7 isn't a teaching section, but rather gives you some food for thought. It talks about all the benefits that you will have with running your own PLR site. Tiffany mentions a few different ways in which her PLR store has been a valuable asset to her and her marketing career. And it's not just a monetary asset either.

Step 8 is the final section, and it was added after Tiffany's PLR ATM guinea pig went through the course setting up her own PLR site. She asked Tiffany to provide the readers with ways to stay organized with their business. So, Tiffany did just that. Here, she talks about what she does to keep her PLR files organized on her computer. She also mentions what she does to keep up with requested topics and how each pack is doing in terms of sales. She also discusses scheduling your work week so that you can get more PLR packages written as well as properly promote the packages you have.

The Bonuses

PLR ATM comes with 3 bonuses.

Bonus 1 is a step by step video tutorial that Tiffany has recorded to show the readers who to set up WordPress on their own domain name. She talks about what do in the hosting account, as well as the WordPress admin. She does this with a domain that she currently owns so that you can follow the steps right on her screen.

Bonus 2 is a list of over 440 topics that have been requested by Tiffany's clients. This will provide you with PLENTY of ideas when it comes time to create the content that will be sold in your PLR store.

Bonus 3 is an interview between Tiffany and another marketer named Mike Long. The two discuss traffic and promotion strategies for the PLR you will be selling.
