Building your Yuwie downline is one component to making money at Yuwie but in essence, you don't make one cent by simply sponsoring new members. You have to look at the overall picture and understand the ways you can make money at Yuwie. You could build a downline at Yuwie and never reach a payout. This is why it is important to understand ALL the components to making money at Yuwie.
Additionally, spending your time trying to add friends/numbers to your Yuwie is not going to net you a payout either. I just shake my head at all those crazy friend chain letters going around here...and all the spam type notices on the notice board promising to show you how to add numerous friends to make money. It seems many think if they add thousands of friends to their Yuwie, they will make money. They may make fractions of cents but they won't reach a payout if that is all they do.
If you are serious about making SERIOUS MONEY with Yuwie, then there are some things you need to do and that does not consist of spending time adding friends, nor does it consist of time spent opting into self proclaimed guru's newsletters. Nor does it mean spending money.
I have placed a number for the following and all is not necessarily what to do first but it is numbered for your easy reference.
1. Truly, the first thing you need to do is read the help/faq section. By reviewing what is in the help section, you will gain a lot of knowledge about Yuwie and will easily be able to answer any questions presented to you.
2. Set up a full profile. One major way you make money with Yuwie is by others viewing your profile. Understand that when others view your profile page, they must stay on your profile page at least 3 seconds in order for it to chalk up a page view for you. Believe it or not, 3 seconds can be a little longer than you think. If your profile page has nothing but a short little bio, or nothing, even if someone visits your profile page, they may move onward very quickly before 3 seconds has passed. In addition, by setting up a full and interesting bio, not only will people stay on your profile page longer, they may be someone that has same interests as you. It is important to note like minded individuals, like minded interests, make for great friends, great communication, and simply put, REAL relationship building. Your profile should contain an image. If you are camera shy or simply don't want your face on Yuwie, place another image. It can be an image of anything fun or interesting. List your interests, movies you like, music you like, what you do, hobbies you may have, etc.
3. Privacy. It's important to note that your privacy settings should be set so that members can request to add you as a friend. Also, your settings should be set where members can contact you. Members cannot request to be added as a friend if you have not set your privacy settings for allowance. This does not mean you will be swamped with emails to your private email accounts. You have an inbox at Yuwie so that your contacts /friends can contact you using it. When members view your profile page, they may want to request to add you as a friend...so make sure your privacy settings are not blocking that request.
4. You don't make money for Club views, however you should set up at least one club. The club should be something you really have an interest in. Almost anything you can think of, there are members here that have an interest in it. By having such a club, you will gain friends that is again, geared at relationship building. They hold the same interests and they will view your profile....hence chalking up earnings for you plus you are doing something you enjoy anyway.
5. Browse other clubs at Yuwie and join the ones you have a true interest in. You'll not only be helping others make earnings, you will be helping yourself make earnings because they are members that hold same interests as you....and that means they will view your profile and clubs and blog.
6. You make money on your blog views so of course you should set up a blog. Here again, your blog should be about something you have interest in. Post to your blog at least once a week, more often if possible. Your blog should have a primary theme.
7. Layouts. You can click on the layouts and choose a layout for your Yuwie pages. It is easy, just click the one you want and it will automatically install. Make sure layouts are not going to hide your content, is easy to still read and view the buttons. I have visited other Yuwie profiles in which I wanted to rate a members site or add a member and could not even see those buttons.
8. We know that we earn by way of page views of our profile page and our blog page. These are the two main ways we earn at Yuwie. We also earn for page views of our referrals downline down 10 levels. Since we can see our referrals down the first 3 levels, its a good idea to visit their profile and blog pages. You will be chalking up earnings for them and also for you at the same time. In addition, since they are part of your team, you may want to get to know them better, join their clubs and read their blogs, share who you are, let them know they are in your team.
9. Keep an eye on ads that are displayed on the Yuwie pages. Do not click them needlessly but when you see something that interest you, click it and check it out. You may find a great bargain. Yuwie shares the revenue and so advertising is a must. Needless clicking turns the advertisers away. Without advertisers, Yuwie does not make money and that means you don't make money. So it's important to note those ads and when you see something you think pertains to your interest, go ahead and click it to check it out.
Everyone wants to know how to gain referrals. Much is talked about this on various Yuwie sites. Little seems to be discussed about the importance of the above. The above truly IS the FIRST set of things you need to do. After doing the above, then you are ready to proceed onward to gain referrals.
10. MySpace has an enormous amount of members as most everyone realizes. You cannot go over to MySpace or most any where else and just start rambling on and spamming people about Yuwie. What you can do is open a MySpace account, which is free to do, and set up your MySpace with your interests, some posts, etc. As you gain friends at MySpace, you will eventually be able to relay to them about Yuwie.
11. There are loads of free newsletters and free ezines online of which many offer free ad placements. You can do a search in your favorite search engine to locate these. You may want to focus on subscribing to the ones that are about making money at home, work at home opportunities, socializing, etc. Place your free ad according to the publisher terms. A good idea is to first create a free gmail account just for the newsletters and ezines you subscribe to.
12. There are loads of forums online and many have a free advertising section. Read the rules of the forum, mingle about and make some posts. Then place your free ad in the ad sections according to that forums rules.
13. Create a splash page that explains Yuwie and place it in Traffic Exchanges, Safelists, Classified ad sites. If you need a free splash page with a free url to it, there is one in particular that I suggest but you will need to contact me as I don't think it appropriate to post the link here. So there is really no excuse as to not having a splash page when you can make one easy, totally free.
14. Create a gmail account for nothing but optin replies. See you do not have to pay for an autoresponder. You can set up a gmail account for nothing but. On your splash page you can simply say contact me @ for more info and state the gmail account. This is a good way so that people can contact you to inquire about Yuwie, to ask you how it works, etc.
15. CraigsList is a popular classified ad site that is free to post ads...they do have paid ads as well. But you will have to take some time out if you are not familiar with how CraigsList works...read their rules. You can post classified ads in various city sections. You could post one a day. Here, it should not be a blatant ad for making money. You can post your gmail account address that you set up just for contacts about Yuwie...state something like, socializing help needed. You don't need to type up a long ad. Build curiosity and include the contact email.
16. Don't overlook your offline friends and church groups. What better way to spread the words of the Lord then to set up an online club. Earnings made at Yuwie by church goers is just going to add more money to the church, any way you look at it....as most church goers tithe 10 to 20 percent of their earnings.
17. Blogging. There are loads of free blog programs out there that allow you create a free blog and promote your links and programs. However, keep in mind you will gain far more by doing an actual review/explanations/overview of Yuwie and then including your Yuwie ref link. So don't just go open a blog and stick your link on it. Instead write up a very good review and when you do that, it will hit the search engines and no telling how many people will see it. Visit your blog again from time to time to post new news about Yuwie, how it is working for you, etc. Become a Yuwie expert.
The above is just some things you can do that will help you to legitimately make very good earnings with Yuwie. As your downline and relations with friends grow, the more money you will most likely make.
Remember, adding a gazillion Yuwie members as friends, really is NOT where the money is to be made. Adding Yuwie members as friends that have same or similar interests, building relationships, IS where the money is going to come in for you....and your friends.....and your entire team.
Good Luck.
