Lawn Chair Millionaire added to the Plug-In Profit Site

0 comments
I made a post earlier today about Success University being removed from the Plug-In Profit Site.

This post will concentrate on the brand new program that has just been added to PIPS - Lawn Chair Millionaire.






Lawn Chair Millionaire (LCM) is replacing Success University as one of the income streams in the Plug-In Profit Site. Whether or not you actually decide to join this program is entirely up to you - it is optional, so if you don't feel that you have the budget for it then you should hold off joining for the time being.

I only joined Lawn Chair Millionaire myself yesterday, so it is too early for me to write a full review of it right now, so I will save that for a future post.

What I will do now is give you the low-down on what I have discovered so far, to help you to decide whether or not it is right for you.


Cost and Commissions

Most importantly, the first thing I will talk about is money. How much does it cost to join and how much do you get paid?

The joining costs are pretty straightforward - it is $49.95 admin fee to join and there is a monthly fee of $29.95 per month. So the monthly cost is more than $20 less than SU, but the admin fee makes the initial payment a bit more expensive.

As for the commissions, I was surprised to receive an email after 1 day to say that I had been paid $13.02 from the month one bonus pool. This was before I had had the chance to actually do any advertising, so it is encouraging to know that people are going to get some commissions regardless of whether or not they manage to sponsor anyone. The email also told me that my month 2 earnings were $15.51 and month 3 was $18.32 and these numbers would increase.

The commissions for personally sponsoring a new member into the Lawn Chair Millionaire also look good. Like Empowerism they have a $20 fast start bonus every time you sponsor a new member. There is also a $15 monthly commission for as long as that person remains a member of LCM.

There are also various bonuses and pools to allow you to earn some additional commissions.


Product

The LCM product is access to a "Vault" that contains various methods of making money online. The methods inclue Forex, Online Trading, Soccer Betting and a few others. I haven't had time to look into these in any detail yet, but participation in these methods is optional.


Marketing Tools

In the member center there is access to a wide range of banners. There is also a campaign tracker to allow you to track your advertising and there is lots of information on email advertising, ezine advertising, viral marketing, list building and pay per click advertising.


Cancelation Policies

The administration fee that you pay to join is non refundable, but they will refund your monthly fee if you decide that the opportunity is not for you.

Success University Dropped from the Plug-In Profit Site

3 comments
I've lost count of the number of times that Success University has been in and out of the Plug-In Profit Site, but it looks like this time it is out for good.

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.

Long time no blog....

2 comments
It has been over a month since my last blog post - arghhh!!

I think this must happen to everyone from time to time - you are busy with other things and then you just forget to, or don't have time to blog. After receiving a few emails from people wondering if I was ok, I figured it was time to get back into the blogging routine again...

So what have I been doing?

Over the last month or so I have been on vacation to Canada with my husband - visiting my best friend who has emigrated to Montreal, then taking a short trip to Quebec City, where I got engaged a few years ago.

I came back refreshed and raring to get back in to work again.

On my return I worked hard with Ken Troyer and some of the other mentors over at the PIPS Power Group to make our other mentoring site the Niche Power Group much much better.

We have been very busy designing and installing brand new Niche Websites. These websites are Wordpress based, monetized with Clickbank products, have beautifully customized Revolution One themes and come pre-loaded with PLR articles. You can get a glimpse of the Niche Power Sites here.





The good news is.... at the moment we are giving away FREE memberships to the Niche Power Group when you join the PIPS Power Group. Not only does this mean that you will get access to our private Niche Mentoring forum, you will also be able to purchase a Niche Website from us and get it installed for less than $30!

If this sounds like a good deal to you, you can visit the PIPS Power Group now to find out more.

Look out for my next blog post which will be in less than 24 hours rather than in a month :-)
