I’m sure you’re all familiar with the popular social networking site myspace. How would you like to get paid to do the things you do on Myspace? Sounds too good to be true? Enter Yuwie. This Myspace clone purports to pay you for inviting friends, hanging out, and just generally loitering in cyberspace. I cannot confirm that they indeed do pay as I just recently found out about this MLM’ish type of website, so I have yet to receive a check from them. What I’m here to do is at the very least tell you what this site is about and how you just might be able to make some nice money with it.
So how can Yuwie afford to pay me for using their site?
Easy! Advertising revenue is your answer. Myspace for example makes bucket loads of money from advertisers. How much of that do you get for being the one to generate that income in the first place by clicking on their ads? Zero! Yes, zilch, nada, nothing. Yuwie shares its advertising revenues with its users. That’s pretty much the simplified version of the business model Yuwie is using. For you tech heads out there, Yuwie is a web 2.0 site in the sense that it relies on contributions from thousands of internet users to build up a social network. The difference between Yuwie and, say, MySpace is that it shares its advertising revenue with its members on the basis that the more you use it, the more you make.
The site is obviously free to join and anyone can benefit from their somewhat generous 10 level deep referral program. I think that if it wasn’t for the referral program Yuwie might not have grown as fast as it has. It was definitely a smart business move to implement this reward scheme. I’ve seen some MLMers with monstrous downlines, enough to cause “downline envy” ;)
So how much can one really make with this new fangled Yuwie thinggie? Good question. It all depends on many variables, but just to give you a very rough idea, check out the image below:
The above chart assumes that you manage to refer 3 people, and in turn those 3 people refer 3 other people, and so on.
So is Yuwie a Myspace killer? Hmm, tough to say at this point. It has certainly grown at a phenomenal rate. It has an Alexa.com ranking of 3,282 as of today - quite impressive, and no doubt it will continue to climb even higher.
Well folks, this brief review ends here and I hope it has been a bit helpful. Hopefully Yuwie will make you tons of cash :-)
