My World Plus – My own results and conversion rates
January 26, 2010 by Suzanne · 3 Comments
I’ve been a member of My World Plus now for almost 6 months and I usually make an appearance each month on the leader board, somewhere in the top 15. I’ve also made a fairly decent number of commissions so far as you can see from my recent MyWorldPlus commission screenshot.
A lot of people have been asking me where my signups come from AND what my conversion rate it, so today I’m going to list all my sources here and what the conversion rate has been from each source.
The biggest piece of advise that I can give you is – if you want to succeed in any business opportunity you MUST have your own website and you MUST use this website to build a list. I started my own Home Business Ideas website back in 2004 and this, along with the list that I have been building is the main reason that I have been successful with business opportunities and affiliate programs.

Ok, here are the places that I get my signups from along with the total percentage that have upgraded after pre-enrolling from these places:
- Initial Email broadcast to my list - this was the very first email I sent to my list about My World Plus. If you have a list, the first thing you should do is email them and if you don’t know what to say, send me an email and I will email you some sample emails to use. When I emailed my list for the first time, 161 people pre-enrolled in MyWorldPlus and 32 of them upgraded to a full member. Conversion rate = 19.8%
- Follow Up Broadcast to my list – a week later I sent a follow up email. Many people will only take action if you email them more than once. After this email an additional 41 people pre-enrolled and 9 upgraded. Conversion rate = 21.9%
- My Home Page – I recommend My World Plus on the home page of my http://www.HomeBiz-Direct.com website. So far this has resulted in 133 pre-enrollees and 8 upgrades. This is no where near as good as the conversion rate for my list, so it just goes to show how important it is to build a list and a relationship with that list. Conversion rate = 6%
- My Thank You Page – When someone signs up to my newsletter they immediately see a thank you page which advertises My World Plus. So far this has resulted in 83 pre-enrollees and 5 upgrades. Conversion rate = 6%
- My Bonus Page – When someone signs up to my newsletter and confirms there email address they are taken to a bonus page which also lists my top business opportunities. So far this has resulted in 10 pre-enrollees and 3 upgrades. Conversion rate = 30%
- My Review – I wrote a review of My World Plus on my blog and optimized it, so it appears on page one of Google when someone searches for “Review of My World Plus”. This has resulted in 28 pre-enrollees and 7 signups. If you haven’t written a review yet, you should write one now! Conversion rate = 25%
- Plug-In Profit Site – I promote the Plug-In Profit Site by Stone Evans. This includes My World Plus as one of the programs and has resulted in 68 pre-enrollees and 11 signups. Conversion rate = 16.2%
- Follow Up Messages – I have two follow up messages in my autoresponder that recommend My World Plus to the subscribers to my list. This has resulted in 48 pre-enrolles and 14 upgrades. Conversion rate = 29.1%
- Misc Places on my Websites – I also promote My World Plus on miscellaneous places on my Home Business website and other blogs and sites. This has resulted in 156 pre enrollees and 18 signup. Conversion rate = 11.5%
- Bought Leads – I am currently testing some purchased leads. You can read more about this in my post about Buying My World Plus Leads. This experiment hasn’t concluded yet, but the conversion rate is currently a big fat 0%.
I hope this helps to give you some ideas on what works best when marketing My World Plus. In general I find that My World Plus converts very well, without much effort on my part to close the sale.
Should you buy My World Plus Leads?
January 21, 2010 by Suzanne · 2 Comments
A lot of people have been emailing me to ask whether or not they should purchase leads to help them grow their MyWorldPlus income.
I have never been able to recommend a particular lead source because all my signups for MWP are generated from my own website.
Also, I never recommend something unless I have tried it myself and had good results.
Today I have decided to test a lead source for you and report back the results. This means that if it doesn’t work, it’s my money down the drain rather than yours 
I have purchased 75 Pre-Enrollees for a cost of $150 from Rachel Long’s CashExpand.com websie
I am NOT recommending that you do this as well because I don’t yet know if these leads are any good!
Over the next few weeks I will monitor the progress of this and see whether or not any of these members upgrade. I’ll keep you updated in this blog post.
Update Thu 21st Jan:
Today I purchased 75 leads for $150. This is a recurring monthly Paypal subscription, but the good thing is, PayPal is easy to cancel so if it turns out that this is not profitable I can cancel before the next payment. I put a reminder in my Outlook diary to make this decision in 3 weeks time. After purchase I had to send an email with my name, Paypal email address and the URL of my website.I entered the URL of my MyWorldResults lead capture page and added a source code to the end of the URL so that I could track it.
Update Tue 26th January
I’ve now received a total of 69 pre-enrollees from this campaign, none of which have upgraded to a full member. It has only been a few days, so I am going to be giving it more time, but my gut feeling so far is that these are very poor quality leads. My upgrade rate for my own leads has been closer to 20%, with many people upgrading within a day or two of pre-enrolling.
Disturbingly I received an email from one person just an hour or so after I received notification of her as a pre-enrollee. The email said “”What is this about? I didn’t sign up for this and don’t want it. Please remove me immediately”. This is rather worrying given that these leads are supposed to be people who voluntary optin to your lead capture page. I’ve also emailed a fair number of these people personally to welcome them and have received no response or questions from anyone (unusual for me) and a few of the email addresses have bounced.
I’ll post another update here as soon as I see progress.
Update 26th February
It has now been over a month since I ordered the leads. The end result has been a total of 68 Pre-Enrollees and 1 Upgrade. My conclusion from this experiment is that this lead source is extremely poor. A $25 commission in return for spending $150 on leads is certainly not a worthwhile investment, so based on this, I do not recommend this lead source.
Here is a screenshot showing some of the source statistics from my MyWorldPlus account. You can see the lead source from Cash Expand is highlighted:
So far with My World Plus I am finding that leads from my own website convert better than anything else I have tried. I am not saying that you shouldn’t buy leads, just that if you do, be very wary and be sure to try out a small number of leads first and don’t commit to a large payment or a recurring payment unless you are very sure about the quality.
