** My Blog is Long as to be Thorough **
Hello All. I would
like to take a few minutes to explain some things about Yuwie that everyone is
confused with at first when joining Yuwie.
I'll put is as simple, yet thorough, as I can. To start, if you did not watch all 3 intro
videos, please click the HOME button at the top, and click the Man under
"WHAT IS YUWIE?" Watch that
video, click next, watch that one, click next again, and watch that video. After watching those 3 videos, what I'm going
to tell you next will make a little more sense.
Earnings are based on Page Views to Your Profile (wall
comments, messages, pic comments, pic views, profile views, profile ratings,
blog views, blog comments). Thus, the
more activity you bring to your profile, the more you will make. This means that pictures and blogs are a
great idea as they will bring you more Page Views. The amount you are paid will very from month
to month based on the RSR (Revenue Sharing Rate - the Ad Revenue) and the Page
Views you have. I will get into how to
figure that out in a second.
Let me say something first before I get into all that What
You Could Make jumbo lol. You must
understand that Yuwie is first and foremost a Social Network. This social network though does pay its
members for their activity. Please don’t
get the impression that there is fast money to be made here. This is not a get rich quick scheme. If you are on this site just to socialize,
then add friends, socialize, and have fun!
The money will add up on its own on the side and it will just be a perk
to you. If however you are looking to
make some decent money from Yuwie, there are a few things that you should know
and understand.
Like I stated, Yuwie is not a get rich quick scheme. If planning on making money through Yuwie,
you must think long term…2-3 years down the line. If you watched the videos, if not please go
do so now before continuing to read this, you will have heard Kent (the guy in
the video and YGUY’s brother) say that “The Power of Yuwie lies within
Referrals” or something to that tune.
What this means is that if you want to make money on Yuwie, you should
start recruiting new members underneath you.
This is done by giving people you know, and don’t know, your Yuwie Referral
ID, located just beneath your Control Panel buttons on the left hand side of
this screen. By others clicking that,
they will have been referred to Yuwie by you, and will go into your tree. This means that you will not only get paid
for your page views, but also for the page views of your referral, as the video
stated you also get paid for the page views generated by your Downline
(referral tree), but only percentages though, through 10 levels. If the person you brought to Yuwie, your
Level 1 referral, invites someone to Yuwie, you will get paid for their Page
Views as well, as they are in your Level 2!!
See how this works?
The more people you can get in your tree, the more you can
make. Please do not get discouraged
after the first couple months if you are not making a lot. Like I said, you have to decide where you
want to be in 2 years, and strive for that.
I have been here for 2 months, and each month I make more than the
previous month. February is already
looking to double or triple what I made in January. You must always promote your referral link.
If you are reading this and you understood everything so far,
you are ahead of a lot of people already, trust me. Let’s talk about how getting paid works. To get paid, you are required to fill out a
Tax Form in the Account Settings section of the Control Panel (it’s the first
box button with the picture of gears).
THERE IS NO RUSH TO FILL THIS OUT!!
Please remember that. The tax
form will ask you for your SSN or other Personal Identification Number your
country uses, alarming I know, but because you stand to make money from Yuwie,
Yuwie is required by law to report your earnings (when you get checks) to the
Government. You must then pay taxes on
your earnings yourself as Yuwie will not deduct taxes for you. When you have reached the minimum payout
amount, you can choose payment by 2 methods: Paypal or Check. NOTE: If you choose Check, a $1 fee will be
deducted for printing the check/stamp/shipping fees. No fees if you choose to receive payment
through Paypal exist, yet. I personally
have mine set up for Check. The minimum
payout for Checks is $25 and the minimum payout for Paypal is $5. I hear that YGUY is going to be lowing the
Checks to $10 minimum. I personally
don’t see the point when you’ll only get $4 (80%) after the $1 deduction (20% of the check), but that’s just me. Anyway, the amount you get paid each month is
figured between the 10-15th of the following month. So January’s earnings didn’t come out until
Feb 6th (they got them done early this month, don’t always count on
that) which released what the RSR (rev sharing rate) was and how many page
views you had, then calculated what you earned for each level (through 10
levels), adds them up, and gives you a total of what you earned for the
month. The formula was giving in the
videos if you watched them. For an
example of what this report will look like, look at my blog for January
Earnings.
Again, I am not concerned that December and January I did
not make much, because I know that I am increasing steadily and I know where I
will be in 2 years. Besides, what I’ve
made thus far is more than Myspace or Facebook every paid me! Haha. So, you are probably still wondering, “But if
I don’t fill out the tax form, how will I get paid?” Good question. You won’t.
But, if you’re afraid of your information getting stolen/sold (which
there is no reason to), then you can use Yuwie as a social network. Your $ will however sit in your Yuwie account
and build up over time. If at a future
period in time you wish to get paid, you will need to fill out the tax form,
select your payment method, and Bingo, there you go. All that was built up in your Yuwie account
will now be able to be paid to you.
Nothing was lost! As you see,
there is no hurry to fill out those forms, until you are sure that is what you
want to do. In the mean time though
while you decide, making friends on Yuwie and inviting friends to Yuwie are
great places to start. If you are going
to want to make money, please remember these few things:
1) Never
turn down a friend request. They will be
the ones to give you more page views and earn you more money!
2) Never
spam anyone your Referral URL link outside of Yuwie
3) Never
spam a fellow Yuwian some other link for a site outside of Yuwie. Promoting/Marketing is different than
Spamming, and if you wish, I’d be more than happy to help you understand the
difference.
4) Have
fun! Remember, Yuwie is first and
foremost a Social Network!
If you have any more specific questions I did not answer or
get to, please let me know. I hope you
found this helpful!
