I've been a member of Yuwie since September and have met a lot of people. Some I consider good friends, some are likeable, fair-minded acquaintances (people I have a good feeling about but either don't share common interests with or don't know well enough yet to know if we do have common interests) and some are blatant opportunists. What are the traits of a true Yuwie friend? All of this of course is just my own opinion; if you agree or disagree I'd appreciate feedback comments. If you'd rather not comment, that's OK too.

The True Yuwie Friend ~
This is the person who returns your profile comments, looks at your photo albums & blogs and occasionally has something to say about a few of them. Sometimes they'll even message you personally about something that has absolutely nothing to do with making money. Now I understand that everyone doesn't have time to login in every day and return all their comments and/or message their favorite friends. We all get sick, get busy or just aren't in the mood now and then. And some of us have older computers and/or dial up connections that make Yuwie-ing a slow process, even when the system is working at full speed. But True Yuwie Friends make an effort.

The Fair-Minded Acquaintance ~
This is the person that you may not have much in common with so you don't visit one another's pages as much as those of your "favorite friends". But this person is fair. They may not have a lot of time to spend on Yuwie but will spend part of that time visiting those who have visited them. If you tell them you've added one of their referrals they've posted about on the notice board, they will thank you and offer to add one of yours. Their blogs will have some content besides "I made XXX$ on Yuwie and you can too if you join these programs (as a part of their downlines of course)

The Opportunist ~
Most of their many notice board posts are geared towards getting YOU to do something for THEM.
"Add my referrals."
"Join this program" (for which they will get referral credit)
There's nothing wrong with occassionally posting notices like this. If a special friend or relative joins Yuwie it's natural to want to introduce them to our friends list. Occasionally we find a program or get an idea that we truly believe will help us all make more money and want to share it. But if this is ALL a person is posting about, this is opportunism not friendship. Some of my favorite notices read "I have new music...photos...videos... recipes.... a layout... or a blog-about-something-besides making money on my page... please visit" Those who also post notices like this are the people I want to visit and keep on my friends list. How about you?
