Can anyone think of an easy way to find the values of $x$ for which the following series converges?

$\sum_{n=1}^\infty (3x+1)^{-3n}$

I'm thinking some convergence test (root test, perhaps?) but I'm a little rusty on these things and I'm not sure how to approach it.

Note that $\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty (3x+1)^{-3n}=\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty y^n$ where $y=(3x+1)^{-3}$, which is a standard geometric series.

Write $(3x+1)^{-3n}=\bigl((3x+1)^{-3}\bigr)^n$, set $r=(3x+1)^{-3}$, and try to recognize the series as a well-known type.
