Stone made the announcement over in the Plug-In Profit Support forum a couple of days ago. My initial reaction before I actually read the post was "What about the promise he made...?". If you have been with the Plug-In Profit site for more than a few months you will remember that he made a promise not to change any of the core programs unless one of them becomes defunct.
After reading his post, I could understand why he has decided to make the decision to remove Success University.
1) They are merging with a travel company
2) They are removing the $2 2-week trial
3) The price to join will be increasing. I believe it is going to be $149.95
Stone's decision is based mainly around the fact that he feels the entry price is too high and this could in turn lower the overall conversion rate for the Plug-In Profit Site.
After discovering his reasoning behind this decision, I agree with what he is doing.
BUT... more importantly - what does this mean for you?
If you are currently a member of Success University, you need to decide whether or not to continue promoting it.
Personally, I have decided to continue promoting Success University for now. Matt Morris sent out an email a couple of days ago outlining some interesting changes in the commission structure, so I am curious to see whether or not my commissions increase as a result of this change. In summary the changes are:
- Weekly cap increased from $10,000 to $25,000 a week (I would like to say that this makes a difference to me, but I'm not fortunate enough to be pulling $10K a week from SU)
- Weekly Cycle payments will increase from $30 to $100 in June (very nice)
- If you cycle more than 3 times a week this will increase to $200 (even nicer)
- The monthly cap is increased from $40,000 to $50,000 (again, not something that I will see the benefit of)
- When you enroll 6 customers your monthly fee will be waived (I like that)
- Various new bonuses introduced
So if you are currently a member you may want to consider the above before deciding to quit SU.
The most important thing to remember is that this is your business and your website, so it is entirely up to you what you promote and you don't have to follow anybody else.
If you have never managed to sign anyone else up for Success University and/or your budget is stretched by the $50 a month tuition fee then you probably want to seriously consider dropping SU.

Thanks for this reason I am no longer a member of SU so I will remove them from my ws. I was a member of Lawn Chair for many months but found you had to join too other sites to make it work for you I ended up loathing this ws because it became too costly not only with monthly fees but when I joined the other sites they too had monthly fees so withdrew my membership. I would rather promote PIPPower Group on my site than anyone else at least you guys give outstanding value. I'm still learning about internet marketing so am treading carefully from now on.
Thanks for a more balanced view of retaining membership of SU or not. Although I am frustrated from two co-ops that have dropped SU, & were going to provide new leads, there is the fact that Kalpesh Patel (Ambassador with Turbo Team in SU) was in Dubai last month, & has organised a core team to physically develop membership. Dubai is also hoping to be added to the current list of approved countries from August. Mind you the core team aren't too thrilled by the addition of travel, so that is still to play out!
Hi Sallyan,
Thanks for your comment, but it is not true that you have to join other sites to make LCM work for you.
I have made around $500 commission since joining a couple of weeks ago and it has not been necessary to join any other sites.
Cheers,
Suzanne
