I enrolled with Yuwie last week again out of curiosity. Both of these sites parallel each other so closely that if you know your way around one, you can easily navigate the other. Yuwie pays - MySpace does not pay Yuwie 80,000 - MySpace 200,000,000 So now you see the big difference in "features" is that Yuwie performs revenue sharing with each member. Sharing the advertising revenue generated by the page views of their content. Will it ever amount to anything? That's what we will look at here. The claims are nothing less than staggering but it's the old claim of "sign up 3 friends who sign up 3 friends .... who sign up ..." well you know the rest. Then the big number $88,572,000 PER MONTH shows up. It gets quickly dismissed as being hypothetical. So it gets chopped down every which way almost to the point where "wouldn't an extra $100/mo be great". Well not that far but you get the idea. Scam? That is the wrong question. Scam or not, the correct question is "Is it worthwhile?" Even if it is not a scam do you want to be working for one penny per hour? Of course not. Isn't Multi-Level Marketing a Scam? Multi-level marketing in itself does not indicate scam, yet in many cases this has been the case. I personally think multi-level marketing is an excellent concept. After all shouldn't a person earn a referral fee for contributing to your business? Give It The Acid Test The biggest indicator if Multi-Level Marketing is being used to perpetuate a scam is to ask yourself "Would you participate if MLM was not part of the offering." That is the acid test! So far Yuwie Has Passed the Acid Test. Surprised? Well there is passing with a "D-" and passing with as "A ". Yuwie's grades are not in, but from my best guess they will not be A . The great buffer that saved Yuwie from a dissolving bath of criticism by me this time around is the contribution of members shopping. This tidbit took me a few days to discover. Turns out there are links to shop at some big name stores within the site. These are basic affiliate links. Yuwie adds the income from these sales to the pool of money used to determine the value of a page view for this period. TIP: Don't go out on a shopping spree just for this reason, your savings will be shared with everyone. An important piece of information that helped Yuwie pass the acid test is that MySpace has 200 million accounts and there was NO REVENUE sharing. So I do feel it is a viable service even for those enrolling to late to benefit from any initial windfall of registrations. Flash in the Pan? That can't be determined now. The market if fluid. Blockbuster kept down playing Netflix to the moment of near bankruptcy. Now Blockbuster has Netflix on the run. It is much easier for MySpace to reach for a nuclear option while Yuwie is struggling with triple digit - capital intensive growth rates. Whatever flashes go off, they are sure to be interesting because Yuwie is here and I am sure there is big money in the wings rooting for both sides of this new turf battle. MySpace Members Earn Money Too! Fast Company published a fairly long article in the September edition of their magazine about the 17-year old Ashley Qualls who has been earning about $70,000 per MONTH for the past couple of years. How, creating page templates and giving them away. She make money on the advertising. Nice deal! That shows the power of MySpace's 200,000,000 accounts! That is over 2500 larger than Yuwie. Not something to be ignored. Recommendation - join both and do the easy stuff. MySpace members: Join and keep both memberships. Bring over as many of your "friends" as you can to lock in your position. If this does skyrocket you are set. If it doesn't then not much is lost. Others: Jump in and see what made MySpace the behemoth it is. People are exchanging awesome graphics and sending encouraging messages daily. Keep your private information private! Don't let minors surf alone. Even with the warnings MySpace and Yuwie are very interesting sites. About the author:
