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.
