Changing Your Profile Layout On Yuwie

This post is for the Yuwie members just starting out or for anyone who doesn't know how to change their layouts or profile around. There are a few ways to do this so I'll walk you through both and you can do which ever one you find easier.

The first method of changing your layout is what I consider to be the simplest. If you look towards the top of the page where you can click Home, Control Panel, Clubs, Layouts, you can click that layouts button to display all the shared layouts on the Yuwie Network. Remember any time you click on one of these layouts or display them someone is getting a page view so its okay to be generous and check out any you are interested in. When you view one there will be a button towards the top of the screen that says "use this layout." Click that button and your all set. You can also add the ones you like to your favorites to use later. The way to access them will be brought up in the next method.

The second way to change your layout is to go to your control panel. When your on your control panel page just click "edit profile" to the left of the screen by your picture. Then click the layout tab. Here you will see all of your layouts you can view or add to your profile. On this tab you can also click content and move the items of your profile around to look a little different. Put that stuff you want viewed most in positions where people will see it when they first get to your page. Things like games, videos, blogs, pictures, or media/content items are good for these positions. I'll talk more about positioning in my post about Profile Maintenance later on.

To get to your favorite layouts you just go back to the control panel and click on the favorites button on the bottom row of the control panel. It looks like a heart. From here select layouts from the drop down menu and you can view the layouts you have chosen. That should get you ready to play around with Yuwie templates and layouts and if you have any questions feel free to contact me. Soon I'll have some posts about creating Yuwie templates and layouts and I'll also have a post about maintaining your profile to stay creative and efficient.

Why I Think Private Profiles Are Bad On Yuwie

I see a lot of people migrating over from facebook and Myspace and making their profile on Yuwie private. To add these people as a friend you have to know their last name or email address. I don't even know those things for some of my friends in real life. They could have an odd spelling of a last name or you just plain don't know it. I see a lot of my referrals doing this and it could be the cause of their low views and their reason for quitting Yuwie.

If your profile is private and someone in your upline or downline tries to add you, but isn't well acquainted with you then you just lost a possible friend that could generate 100's or 1000's of page views. Yuwie is a social networking site that is changing the way people look at the internet. Since page views are paid I add almost anyone that requests to be friends or anyone I find interesting.

Since I'm adding more people then I normally would I have learned tons of things about people all over the world that I would have never known. The best part is, I'm getting paid for it. I've met some very creative and intelligent people on Yuwie that I wouldn't have met if my profile was private. Not everyone in social networking is a creeper or someone trying to steal your identity. As long as you don't have a lot of personal information on your profile you should be okay to branch out and meet some new people.

On the other hand if you are one of those people that have a private profile you could have some good points in keeping it that way. Some people don't really want to meet new people and are just using Yuwie to talk to existing friends and aren't really in it for the money. That is totally okay. Yuwie should be used the way you want to use it to have fun. Be creative with Yuwie and do what you want to have fun.

Referral Factory - A Great Way to Boost Personal Page Views and Referral Page Views


I have seen a lot of clubs around that are promoting ways to get easy page views and friend adds. Some of these clubs grow and fall or are based on just getting the owner a ton of views. I have found a genuine friend adding club that keeps on rolling and is bringing members 1000+ legitimate views a day. The name of the Yuwie Club is the Referral Factory. It can be used in a variety of ways.

One of the ways I use it is the easy access to adding friends. If you look at the picture for this post you'll see a few "add me" buttons. These buttons can be opened in separate windows one row at a time. Just keep opening the whole row in different tabs if your using Firefox or a higher version of Internet Explorer that includes tabs. While your opening each tab the pages should be loading and as you go tab by tab you can add a friend while waiting for the next one you opened to load. I continue this process until I have sent friend requests on everyone on the front page. When they accept my request I also get mail in inbox which adds to my page views.

When people accept my invitation I try to comment on most of their profiles and a lot of them comment back. This starts a good relationship between your new friends and will add up to a lot of page views very quickly. The best thing is you can choose how much time you spend on each objective. Getting involved in clubs and talking to friends and helping out referrals should always leave you with something to do while you are on Yuwie.

I've tried a few different ways to stay busy on Yuwie but the easiest and fastest method seems to be the Referral Factory. The Referral Factory is very efficient and time effective for the time spent on Yuwie. Getting into the high page views that will make you big bucks isn't easy and it will take awhile to get to, but this is just one way you can get started on the road to getting tons of views on Yuwie.

Make sure to pass the club onto your referrals as well. Once you see the results you will definately want your referrals to get into it. Not only will it increase your personal views by discussing the topic but it will also sky rocket your referral views. If you only have 10-20 referrals and you see great results with your self, you will want to take those results and multiply them as much as you can which is where your referrals come in. If your referrals join referral factory it will grow even faster and be better for all of us. If you have any questions always feel free to contact me.

An even better person to contact about Referral Factory is the owner himself, Al. Make sure to check out Al's profile on Yuwie.

Yuwie is a Great Way to get Views through Blogging

The number one thing that can easily drive tons of free page views to your site or profile is completely original content. If you have content on your site that is very educational, inspirational, or totally original and creative, then people will come to your page to read it. If you can try to market your unique blog as well you can bring even more people in. Not only will they be reading your content, they might pass it on as well.

Another great thing about using Yuwie to blog and get page views, is some people will leave comments that you can respond to. This will help you build a large community around your profile. You can get more readers then you think. It wont be easy though and it takes time.

Once you have some well established content flowing through your site and your community is growing you can start a club. Make sure to check out my post about Yuwie Clubs. Clubs can help you go into detail about your topic and can help include more discussions. This can also give you inspiration to write about other things as well. You will reap the rewards of helping people making this a win/win situation.

Using Yuwie Clubs to Gain Tons of Views

Yuwie has a feature just like some other social networking sites that allow users to create clubs that people can join to discuss the specific topic or play common forum games. When people think of Yuwie clubs, most think of the groups like friend adders and groups that promote adding tons of people. Most of these people visit your profile one time and you never talk to them again. Going through the work of a friend adding group like that rarely has large effects on your page views.

There is a more efficient way to spend your time through groups to maximize your page views. If you and many friends in your group share a common interest, or can even discuss different opinions on that matter, then you should consider making a group over that topic. If you create original content that people can discuss and critique or debate over you are more likely to generate page views then to just add some random people.

Make groups that your referrals will want to post in because when ever they get page views the count towards you. If you have many referrals and a lot of them are in big discussions in your groups then you will generate a lot of page views through them. You can also use the original content to join in on the conversation. Friend adders can only get you so much traffic for your self, but getting traffic from you and your referrals will really maximize your page views and allow for much deeper discussion and more original content that other people will want to read.

Yuwie Results - Not a Get Rich Quick Scam

When I'm talking to a new referral or trying to explain the concept of Yuwie to new members I often get the question, "If it's not a scam, how much have you made using it?" Well this question has more then a numerical answer. The concept of Yuwie is so powerful, that it makes me never want to use another social networking site again. The most attractive aspect of Yuwie is making money. Thats not the only reason we use it though.

When people are using facebook and Myspace they are making money for other people. They are getting paid nothing at all. They are actually basically working for someone by providing content to a site that makes money. On the other hand they could use Yuwie and get at least a piece of that money. If I had been using Yuwie the whole time I've been on Myspace and Facebook I would have at least made the minimum payout of $25.00 USD by now. How much was your payout for the others? Oh yeah, none.

Even if Yuwie did NOT have a referral system, I would still choose it over the others just because there is an opportunity to make some money. People that are signing up seem to be missing the concept that they can use Yuwie just like any other social networking site. All you have to do is login and talk to friends. No one has to refer anyone. Just get on Yuwie to chat and have fun and never check your earnings. Eventually you'll reach that $25.00 mark and be able to get a payout. Yuwie will be around for years, just like Myspace, Facebook, and other social networking sites. When you do reach the payout minimum, which might lower by then, it will be the same as the feeling you get when you find $25.00 in a coat pocket that you forgot about. Even the feeling to know you are making money to talk to your friends is such a cool concept in itself that it made me want to join. I hope this helps some people really grasp what Yuwie is all about.

Referrals: Viral Marketing Pt 2 - YouTube

I've seen many videos on YouTube and other video sites that explain what Yuwie is and how to sign up and so on. You can make an original video for YouTube and upload it and try to get some publicity that way. The best thing is that its all free. You can get a free screen recording program called CamStudio. You can use this video to record a video of your screen and it will pick up sound through a microphone.

When you make a YouTube account, pick a username that relates to the type of video you are creating. If you are making a video about Yuwie or Yuwie Referrals then make your account name something people would be interested in when they see your name. A few examples would be, GetYuwieFriendsHere, YuwieGuru, YuwieReferrals101, or something along those lines so it intrigues people to click on your profile. When they do so make sure your referral link is visible and give a brief explanation of Yuwie and what it is. If you have videos people will be able to watch them and could likely click your referral link.

The most important thing about this method is still the same - NO SPAMMING. If you spam on other people's videos with comments like "Hey check out my video " and just link to your video then people are going to already be against you. Leave sincere original comments on other related videos. The point of making an intriguing name was to attract attention without spamming. There are always ways around spamming.
