Referrals: Use Viral marketing

A good way to get referrals is through viral marketing. Viral marketing is usually free marketing used to spread a referral link or piece of information to many people. Its like a virus because it keeps spreading through other people. There are tons of ways to do this.

If you are already using a social networking site such as myspace or facebook or any of the others, you can use your profile to promote Yuwie. Inform others of the services of Yuwie and how it works or show them this blog so they can read through what it is before going to the site since most people are very skeptical and will tell you they know its a scam. Inside you laugh or get frustrated knowing what they are missing out on. Make sure you don't spam though. Spamming only hurts the community and Yuwie because advertisers don't want to be on a site that spams.

On facebook I made a group for Yuwie that is about making money online and I got many referrals through the group. People joined and I explained what it was and I had a few referrals and it really helped to jump start my Yuwie page. I also made a business page for Yuwie with my referral link in it. Don't try to force anyone onto Yuwie or talk them into joining because once they sign up they will most likely become inactive because they don't know what to do and their minds are closed. Once more people catch on these might be valuable people to have in your referral tree because they will already have an account and will want to start talking to their other friends that are joining.

One thing I can not stress enough is the point to not spam. Make original informative content for people to read. Once people understand what Yuwie really is and the genuine opportunity they will come on their own, hopefully through your referral link.

Referrals : Yuwie's Pay It Forward Method

In the post before this I talked about the pay it forward method where you start with 3 referrals and they get 3 referrals and so on. At an RSR of 50 cents the visual chart would look like this:


Level|| Referrals||Page Views || Payment
1 ||||||3 |||||||||||3,000 ||||||||$0.15
2 ||||||9 |||||||||||9,000 ||||||||$0.45
3 ||||||27 |||||||||27,000|||||||| $0.54
4 ||||||81||||||||| 81,000 ||||||||$1.62
5 ||||||243||||||| 243,000||||||| $4.86
6 ||||||729||||||| 729,000||||||| $14.58
7 ||||||2,187||||| 2,187,000||||| $43.74
8 |||||6,561|||||| 6,561,000 |||||$328.05
9 |||||19,683|||| 19,683,000|||| $984.15
10|||| 59,049||| 59,049,000|||| $8,857.35
Total|88,572||| 88,572,000 ||||$10,235.49

You get your cut of the RSR by reaching 1000 page views and this table is based on each referral averaging 1000 page views a month which is actually quite minimal. Reaching 1000 page views takes very little time especially with good content and active friends. Everyone keep learning and keep sharing. Look for new posts shortly.

Yuwie Referrals

If you have already signed up on Yuwie and logged in to your control panel then you might have noticed the box labeled "Your Referral URL" on the left side of the control panel. Anytime you share this link with someone and the click on it, your referral info is left on their computer for 30 days. If that person signs up to Yuwie in the next 30 days they will count as your referral. They are known as a level 1 referral because they came from your link.

When that person signs up make sure to drop by their profile and help them get started on Yuwie. Not only is this the right thing to do but you will get paid to do it because all the page views of your friends count towards yours as well. You get 10% of the RSR for the month for every 1000 page views you generate through your level 1 referrals.

Encourage your referrals to gain referrals by using their Referral URL because their level 1 referrals become your level 2 referrals. This continues all the way to 10 levels. Different levels have different percentages for the RSR for the month and they break down like this:

You - 10%
Level 1 - 10%
Level 2- 10%
Level 3 - 4%
Level 4 - 4%
level 5 - 4%
Level 6 - 4%
Level 7 - 4%
Level 8 - 10%
Level 9 - 10%
Level 10 - 30%

As you can see, a big chunk of your income will come from level 10. The best income generating strategy that I've seen is to have a high number of referrals in your level 10 because you not only get 30% of the RSR, but you should have the most referrals there since all your other referrals will trickle down into it. The introduction videos on Yuwie explain the Pay It Forward method of referrals to explain the potential Yuwie has. If you only refer 3 people, and those 3 people refer 3 people down through 10 levels you would have 88,000 referrals. The sad thing is that it doesn't always work out that way, in face it never does. The great thing is that there is definite possibility to reach that stage. Even if you are only half that, I would say you've done an excellent job.

The videos also state having a 90% failure rate in that perfect situation would also lead to $1000 USD a month if the RSR was $0.50. Thats still pretty good money to hang out and talk to friends. Yuwie is a great experience and I like the community much more then I like Myspace or Facebook, even though I've been using them for years. Since users are getting paid to use Yuwie, I see alot of strong social networking and tons of original content and creative ideas daily. The community is very willing to help which makes it great.

There will be more about referrals later on. This has only been an introduction to the power of Yuwie.

Introduction to Yuwie

Yuwie is an online social networking site. Other social networking sites include Myspace, Facebook, and Bebo. Yuwie has a lot of the same features as the ones previously mentioned even in it's beta stage. It also has a few outstanding points that others don't directly have. Yuwie pays it's members.

The money Yuwie pays its members with comes from advertising. Sites like Facebook and Myspace make around $20 million USD a month from advertising. Those sites get paid when the members see the ads. The people seeing the ads are basically paying Facebook and Myspace. Yuwie is willing to pay a percentage of the money to the users. Members get a cut of the RSR or Revenue Sharing Rate.

The RSR is figured each month by the amount of money Yuwie made from advertising. You get 10% of the RSR for each 1000 page views you generate. A paid page view counts as any of these things:

profile views
picture views
video views
blog views
sharing layouts
using your own control panel
messaging a friend
leaving or receiving a comment
Any time you update something

As you can see there are numerous ways to generate page views. The best thing about Yuwie though is the referral system, but I'll discuss that in the next post. If you have any questions always feel free to contact me. You can leave a comment on this page or message me through Yuwie. I will not accept any form of spam and I will delete you from my friends and inform everyone of your violation.
