The BBC has published an article about Yuwie, titled “Should you get paid to Facebook?“
The Yuwie founder, Korry Rogers tells the interviewer that some of the members are netting £200 to £250 a month, that’s about $400 to $500 US dollars. That seems to be inline with the proof of payments I have seen from some of my friends, they make less but also over the $100 mark.
Korry Rogers also explains why Yuwie is not a pyramid scheme, the main reason being the fact that Yuwie doesn’t charge you a single penny! It can’t be a pyramid simple because you are not paying money to someone higher in the hierarchy. The money comes from advertising so it’s more in line with MLM but a free MLM in this case. More than 50% of the adrevenue flows back to the users
One analyst believes Yuwie will not be able to keep the momentum next year, referring to the experiment at Facebook with introducing an unpopular ad system and the criticism of it’s users about this system.
I disagree, Yuwie is a totally different beast, people that join Yuwie know there are ads and why ads are beneficial to them as it makes the them profit. And you are not making a few cents out of your friends as is stated by the analyst but out of advertising and your friends also make a few cents and so on.
Mr Prentice, the analyst then goes on that Yuwie can’t be compared to YouTube as that site is about creation, which ads value for which you can be rewarded.
Hello Mr Prentice, did you check out Yuwie? You can setup clubs with discussion, you can create blogs with valuable content and you can upload pictures, if that is not content creation I don’t know what it is.
Those that join Yuwie just to make money will eventually disappear and the ones enjoying the site
will stay and make money as a result of participating. |
