A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me if I knew anything about Yuwie. He signed up for the site and actually described it to me as “a social networking site crossed with a pyramid scheme.”
Apparently, the gist of the site is that they want you to refer as many people to sign up as possible. The more people that sign up, the more page views the site receives, and the more page views there are, the more banner impressions are delivered. Yuwie also shares the revenue they receive from ads, paying you ten deep for referrals (if you refer ten friends, you get paid for those ten referrals plus the referrals those people make, hence the “pyramid” structure).
Yuwie is currently reporting 214,094 total members, who are all, I bet, lazy asses. From looking at the site (it looks like a hastily put together piece of crap), I doubt people are signing up for “social networking” purposes. I wrote earlier how I’m not too fond of people trying to make a quick buck online without working hard, which is why I’m rolling my eyes at Yuwie. I haven’t tried the site out though, so if any of you have tried it out and have anything glowing to say about it, I’m all ears.
Why do people roll their eyes at traditional pyramid schemes, yet come across one on the Internet and suddenly think it’s a great Internet marketing strategy? I just don’t understand the mysterious allure of the Internet, how people think it’s where you go to get loads of money for virtually no work.
Anyway, like I said, has anyone tried out Yuwie? If so, what do you think?

lol – I bet they are all lazy – people are tryin got earn a quick buck and that is it – look at the sprung of the million dollar wikis and now to onebuck wikis….they are springing up – and just to make a quick buck
people these days just want to see 1000 and that is it as long as they have it then they dont mind, as for me I want to look for long time ongevity and will work at it as I have been doing so!
YUWIE is a LAZY ASS! LOL
would. um. would you um lik to go out for dinner sometime?
Yuwie is going to make me millions! just like agloco has made Johnchow millions.
The attraction to a pyramid scheme is a combination of some plausible business plan, which is not executed in reality, and the inability to count how many “friends” you really have.
are you saying yuwie isn’t working or the members? either way it is a pyramid scheme.
is there not something to names now a days. yuwie? wouldn’t that be a smelly ass?
I wish people would stop thinking money grows on trees… the same people who sign up with services like that and believe they will get rich are the same fools who think Agloco was going to make them rich. Only 2 people at the top can by hummers – the rest are stuck with mere pennies.
I signed up for Yuwie when it first came out, but I never really got anything out of it and doubt that I ever will. I really haven’t promoted it at all.
I know a of a well known community site in India (backed by big corporations) which had more than 8000 registered members on the first day and just two stupid posts in their message board, I wonder why.
It seems to be just like a normal script installed and some fake members added up
They need to customise it and then promote it to get some starter results.

A Yuwie Yuwie, oh baby now … yeah
I was going to sign up, but yeah it just looks tacky. I’ve known about it for a few weeks.
Wow. Looks like a creepy avatar is requisite…
I have a Yuwie account and I have no complaints. It’s a great networking tool.
You know they are not working hard how?
Looking at the site, by sheer appearance it does look like it was put together in 10 minutes with 2 minutes of break in between.
Just to follow up on this… as a user we haven’t actually tried it. But from what we’ve come across on the web, many people haven’t had much complaints as a member. Thus, appearince can be deceiving, sometimes.
I signed up, but that’s just because I’m a lazy bastard.
OK first of all I think a pyramid scheme is something you have to pay for to advance. Yuwie is free to join and its just like myspace.
I am a member and have around 380 referrals. I made about $2!!
Now if I had more direct referrals it would be a litte more.
I would rather get paid to network my sites than not.
No one seems to have realised that Yowie can be distilled to simply this – “you watch ads, we pay”. Who cares about the content – let the consumer get paid for ad watching. And if those at the bottom of the pyramid make little, so what.
Yeah I was being sarcastic about the $2 btw.
I want money for nothing! And SERPs for free.
give me free money and so i may sign up!
It reminds me of Agloco. Alot of hype and nothing will come from it.
not going to try it
The Internet is looking a lot like the late 1990s again where we are being bombarded with the next big thing. The only problem is that most of these “next big things” are only copies of other sites or don’t have any real value. Social Media does have value, but every single social networking site doesn’t.
I joined Yuwie a couple of months ago. After signing up, I barely even looked at it before realizing it was crap. Never went back.
Whats a yuwie? lol
This site is a piramid scheme for sure.
Yuwie looks like the Halloween version of facebook. Creepy!
I signed up for Yuwie a few months ago just to check it out – good in theory (aren’t all pyramid schemes?) but definitely poor in execution. I think it’s interesting from the perspective of how a network can grow however. I made three personal referrals to Yuwie which in the past month has grown to 278 total referrals – seven levels deep. My earnings? $0.27 – when I saw that I nearly fell out of my chair laughing – not bad though for sixty seconds of work.
never been there…and never will. What I do find funny (aside for the Halloween theme) is that I would bet just about every, if not all, that dog on this craptastic site…have myspace accounts.
irony.
“It looks like a hastily put together piece of crap” is the best line I have heard in a while.
no myspace for me…I am over the age of 18
Been there, saw that, and decided I already have enough crap sites I’m signed up now that I am still paring down, so that one won’t go into my list of favorites, lol.
nice Halloween design you got going. But that sound is getting annoying hehe
wow..new theme
It looks pretty bad…Traffic numbers can only get you so far. If you don’t have a product you don’t have a solid business. The halloween theme is cool, but i’m missing the classic shoemoney design!
arent these practices illegal?
Yeah — I agree
I never liked opportunists. I wouldn’t even waste my time checking the site out. If I hear pyramid scheme or MLM, I go away as far as I could.
SEO stuff, it’s hard work!
Haha, nice explanation.
Chris, can you give us a little more insight?
Aw, and here I was about to join…
I want my….I want my…I want my free money…
you just boosted their hits with this blog, are you sure you aren’t in on this somehow?
Not really.
Another pyramid scheme, Yeh!
i think yuwie is probably the only social networking site that has popups and there are still people visiting.
Wow, tough crowd here! LOL
Rebecca, may I take a stab at changing your mind about joining?
I know I’m likely in an uphill battle but here goes…
I guess I’m ‘pro Yuwie’, as I joined on Sept 3rd and have hardly slept a full night since. I have lightly promoted Yuwie part time and have been fortunate to have found a few people like me who are excited about it and are promoting it a bit.
I won’t sugar coat it, I made $2.56 for the month of Sept. (Well most of the month as I joined 3 days in.) with a smallish, lighly active downline group. No doubt this will not impress anyone here and certainly not even myself. However, I have seen other members who had joined maybe 60 days before me and posted their results for a couple ‘pay runs’. Now that made me feel better to see the rate of the increases in their payout numbers over even 2 months, as their groups grew so did their earnings.
Keeping this in mind I could see how with time and a little promotional effort the better earnings are certainly possible there. In Sept I had earnings from 3 of the five levels I had members on, and myself. As I write this I have broken my 9th level (Took me just 55 days.) and my total page views are up nearly 4 times. My fantastic sponsor has broken into the tenth level and can expect the highest percent of earnings there as Yuwie has structured it that way to encourage growth.
My page views increasing 4 times is nothing spectacular, as not all my group are active. However, IF this increase can be sustained each month at that rate, it won’t be long that those who have put a little effort into this will see some decent progress.
I believe that not only can the rate be sustained but it likely will rise some as the inactive members are now being made aware that Yuwie pays and will begin to get interested in what they might be able to do. This then becomes a word of mouth push to their warm market, and the ‘snowball effect’ will pick up steam.
In closing, I will admit that now there are many who will rail against Yuwie for any number of reasons as evident here, but if you could take an honest look at what it is and what it might become in the future – then I believe you will see it for what it is – a social networking site that happens to share a percent of their ad revenue with those who help it grow. Not everyone is interested in making it an income, but those who are may do well.
The social network has been proven to be popular, no disputing that with the likes of MySpace, Facebook etc. Could offering a chance at earning a little pocket change while enjoying the social aspect be such a bad way to go? Yuwie grew to 100,000 members in 87 days – then doubled that in less than 30.
So Rebecca, I would love to see you give Yuwie another look and would be thrilled to have you in our friendly group if you were to change your mind! It costs nothing to join, so if you decide it’s not for you – all you’ll lose is your time. I will be happy to answer any questions that I can, and try to find out those that I might not know the answer to.

I have seen payment proof from people who got paid from Yuwie.
That’s interesting they do pay their members.
I signed up a few months ago on the word of a family member. I agree, its not a very well designed site and it had some major bugs that may have been cleared up by now, but overall, not really impressed. I haven’t logged in awhile and completely forgot that I had the account until I read this post. I’ll leave it on there on the off chance it actually turns some page views, more of a passive expirement than anything else.
I have to disagree. It looks fine to me. Nothing pleases you people
I couldn’t agree more. People sit back and wait for someone to swoop in and give them a golden ticket and that is just not how life works.
10 referral levels is a problem. If it had 1 or 2, that would be perfect IMHO.
The idea of a social network sharing it’s revenue is great.
Oops, double posted above – sorry.
I wanted to mention that I broke my 10th level this afternoon while I was at work. This is the level with the highest percent of earnings: 30% of RSR (revenue sharing rate).
“RSR x (Page Views/1000) x Level Percentage = Your Earnings”
Look, I don’t know if I’ll make the big money here, but there is a decent chance if Yuwie is managed properly that more than a few will.
Reading some of the comments, I am surprised that the readers of a money making blog are so quick to dismiss an opportunity so quickly. One comments:
“It reminds me of Agloco. Alot of hype and nothing will come from it.”
Let’s compare. Not being a member of Agloco, (But being somewhat aware of it’s structure, year long history and development) and correct me if I’m wrong, but have they paid out anything yet? Yuwie had payouts sent and received by those who qualified ($25 or more) in about 4 months of operation. And that takes into consideration that Yuwie pays Net 60!
Now please don’t get me wrong, I’m not taking anything away from Agloco as they may just turn out to be the next big thing if you read around the web at all. But I’m just saying that by the time you get any payouts from them – you likely could build quite a nice group (6 full levels DEEPER) in Yuwie and have been earning from them for some months while your still working your Agloco business… No need to give up one to build the other! They are both ‘viral’ in nature and once you get a core group started, can grow with little or no help from you by the members in your group sharing the opp with their friends.
Alright, I didn’t want this to sound like an ad so I’ll cut this off here, I just would hate to see so many opportunity seekers overlook something so simple as an earner just because it was that – simple. Especially those of you who frequent here with established money making blogs, a simple text link and quick comment is all it would take to build a group.
At only 221,614 members you STILL have 1st mover advantage with Yuwie…

One of my old sponsors is a member of Yuwie, and he’s really working the system. He’s a pretty savvy vet and he’s not making much yet, but he feels like it’s increasing each month and that it will be fairly residual soon enough. He has a ridiculous amount of referrals and his income has doubled each month he’s been a member, which still isn’t much money yet. I’m still relatively undecided.
yuwie is ok but i got something better
yuwie is good but this is better
it ok yuwie i like the other one better
Most people who get involved in some time of pyramid scheme are lazy b…..ds looking to make a quick buck.
I looked at it and decided to pass. I only know of one person who uses it, and she made a whopping 60 cents last month. up 3 times from her previous earnings.
Some of the members are bots… generating testimonials and comments to real users
But whats basically good about that site?
Agloco is counted as a spyware by my AVG antivirus
A few things I want to say:
I have been a member of Yuwie for a few months.
It has cost me $0.
I have actually spent less time on it than I did MySpace when I first joined MySpace.
I referred only a few friends and now have almost 25,000 members below me.
I have made hundreds of dollars and know people who have made much more than me. (Yes, we have seen actual money from Yuwie – not just told we were GOING to get money.)
The site has had MANY upgrades recently and is a very well run site now and very easy to use.
Yuwie ENFORCES no porn (even soft porn is prohibithed) and NO spamming making it a VERY enjoyable social networking site.
Also, Yuwie has said over and over, this is not a get rich quick scheme. They are doing nothing illegal. You get paid because they have decided to SHARE the revenue they get from ads. Very simple, very easy, why not get a portion of the revenue you help the site make???
Yuwie, I don’t know, I think its a waste of time. I signed up as a place to network and how much would you really make anyway? 20 cents? A LOT of people are taking it seriously though. : P
Let’s just watch out for it, I must say ^.^ I’m a member and if you think “it’s easy to make a quick buck in there, NO.. as a saying said ” You always have to work hard onto something” and getting referrals is a HARD work to do which needs time.
How could you say something is a scam or pyramid scheme when you dont even need to pay anything? And yeah its a social networking site, just like Friendster and Myspace.. you probably have either a Myspace account or a Friendster account ( I have too) and we all know we spend time there designing our layout, we blog, upload pics, and we invite our friends to sign up and these things we do keeps this sites more bigger and bigger and more susceptible to online advertiser and you dont even get anything?! Wouldn’t it be nice you earn from something you already do online? even a cent or a penny earned on Yuwie than being active on other social networking site without getting anything at all?! And its a networking business too for “serious” people and we all know business needs time. I got a friend who just started earning $2 the first months and guess what?? Now hr already recieves a payment or more than $100 last month. And I bet this month would be even better for him.All those HARD work paid off so we, members aren’t that lazy. As I said its a networking business site, every well knowned sites started from the very start; bulding up, advertising the site, getting members and be known. As all people didn’t actually learned to walk and talk haven’t we? As babies we started to learn to crawl then walk, speak few abc’s and learned to talk. See my point here? There’s a BIG difference between Yuwie to Friendster and Myspace ^.^
money for nothing and ur chicks for fwee (H)
does anyone here even know wat a pyramid scheme is? its just being thrown everywhere..
I’ve heard of yuwie and tried it. The problem is that it is first and foremost a way to make money, and secondly a social networking site. It has a terrible layout and from a networking aspect is terrible. Its a spam containing, spam generating machine.
I use ww.SocialSomething.com
They started out as just a social network, but now also pay their users for referrals and pageviews (no pyramid scheme though – more like metacafe’s producer rewards). However, they are still foremost a social networking site. There is very little emphasis on the money aspect. The site has a great web 2.0 design and boasts many features that facebook and myspace don’t even have.
Give it a try: http://www.socialsomething.com (notice that this is not a referral link because i actually joined the site to network, not too make some money).
Oh and PS: for those of you who are into making money, this site pays about 20 times what yuwie does.
Let me tell you what.
Stick with your non-paying social Networks or pay monthly fees for other so called money making networks and I will stick with Yuwie.
There is nothing like it on the net. I have met some of the nicest people in the world at Yuwie. The fact that we get paid is just another benefit.

That SongBird Guy
Hmmm, I signed up and I’m not a lazy person by any means. I operate several sites online as well as my main blog. I joined Yuwie near the end of September and have enjoyed it ever since. So sweeping generalizations does not an intelligent person make.
Actually, I’ve been on MySpace and Facebook for quite some time now and I definitely prefer Yuwie to both of them. I feel that it has better features that are much more user-intuitive. But aside from that, I’ve met a lot of really cool people (many of them bloggers), and have made some money at the same time. So to me it’s been a win-win.
As for being a pyramid scheme…it’s quite obvious here that the author has little to no knowledge regarding pyramid schemes. So here’s a post that explains what they arel:
What Is A Pyramid Scheme?
All in all, I’ve enjoyed Yuwie quite a lot. But like everything else in this world, nothing is ever one size fits all. Some people like chocolate, some people don’t. It’s that simple. But to say it’s nothing but a pyramid scheme and that the people who join it are lazy is just a plain ridiculous. In fact, if the author and some of the commenters here actually did the proper research prior to spouting off, they’d find that there are some very well-known people who are members of the site. People who didn’t become wealthy from being lazy.
Shine on,

See, here’s the thing.
I’m not lazy. I’m greedy. I work two part-time jobs and am a full time student in college. Things are expensive, and I like money. So what’s the harm in adding a little dough to the flow? I’ve checked it out and nobody has yet to say it’s a scam, that I can find anyways. I’m not expecting it will produce millions, I’m expecting a few cents every month (I really have no idea) but seriously, extra money is extra money and what’s the harm in that?
yuwie is about to hit 400 000 members u can change the layout any way u like and the backgroud as well in an year the top 5 players will be making $5000 an month one has an downline of 60 000 with only 673 on level one if u dont want to be an part of it do go here lost.eu/3a026 for the link
who ever created this blog is a dumb ass i love yuwie amd i get paid by yuwie every month just cuz this shoemoney site sucks ass doesnt mean you have to rip on yuwie yuwie will be the next myspace mark my words
When people see a scheme like this, they tend to forget that what comes out, cannot be more than what comes in.
What bothers me about Yuwie is that it is giving people very unrealistic expectations about the money they can earn. I figure the most Yuwie can afford to pays its members, on average, is about 10 cents a month. Please see my webpage at http://www.dstewart.ca/yuwie.html to see why that is, if you’re interested.
If you like the layout and features, then fine… but otherwise Yuwie is just cluttering forums with people trying to get referrals.

well, ill be signing up but not expecting much out of it.
so long as i dont pay anything for it, getting a few dollars on the side isnt too bad. i dont expect to earn more than $20 a year. infact i doubt ill even get that. not everyone who joins is going oh man im gonna get $10 000 a month!
shouldn’t we all be getting real lives?
i think its absolutely ridiculous how people always advertise get rich quick schemes online or on tv or anything. they appeal to the people who really need the money and are at here ropes end with trying to make ends meet. more and more people everyday are falling victim to the ways of the world and it sickens me. there should be some program or agency out there that gives people like this jail time because there taking advantage of peoples horrible money situations. and making them worse.
Okay, I have not joined Yuwie; and probably won’t. I do like making money for nothing, it is human nature. I make a little by using Moola.com. Basically you are given a penny. You then risk said penny playing games, level one costs a penny, if you win you get 2 (yours back, plus 1). Level 2 costs 2 penny’s if you win you get 4 (your 2 back, plus 2)…So on and so forth. If you lose all of your money, you get a free penny yet again. – The catch, you watch a very short ad before playing games. There is also a search and win feature, all you do is search for something (as you would with google.com) and a bonus wheel may come up and award you with extra.
I have been a member for a few months, and I have cashed out, received my cheque. Don’t expect thousands (although a few have cashed out $1000+). To join, you need a referral, and there is one below:

I am a developer who owns a social network site similar to myspace so naturally I view and inspect all social network sites for ideas and such, I like to combine the best features of all social networks into my site. My thoughts of yuwie.com, they pay you which is a GREAT feature I am considering using the new google adsense API for revenue sharing myself but as far as the site yuwie goes, I would have to rank the actual site a 1 on a 1-10 scale, feature wise it could not get any worse in my opinion and I have seen them all
I’m a member of Yuwie and I’ve made $500.
I agree. The site looks like a total piece of crap. Frankly I’m getting very tired of all the Yuwie spam. It’s always the same line:
” Just like MySpace except you get paid!! ”
Ha
Dont expect to turn any page views if your not going to work for them, Jack Ass. Thanks for your time.
Just to let you know, I am not lazy. I work 2 part time jobs. And I’m at Yuwie for friends, and if they want to pay me, let them. I’ve got lots of friends I met from Yuwie, many are Christians. So, don’t say we are lazy. You didn’t give Yuwie a try and you judge them. It’s not nice to judge people from the outside. Get to know the people before you say they are lazy.
For the person who started this blog. Let me tell you what Yuwie is.
Yuwie is another place where you can Advertise what you already have working for you to make money. If you only see Yuwie as a looser site. I wonder what kind of education you might have. If you can’t see that is an open door to many othe opportunities then I will openly say. You are a great looser.
I am the CEO and President of my own business. I sell frozen foods. Thanks to Yuwie I have gain a lot of steady , loyal customers.
If these Yuwie members were loosers, where do they get the money to buy my products?
If you need advice on how to take advantage of Socialize Networking I will gladdly teach you for a fee. I can’t give you my PGD for free. Go back to school.
And yes YUWIE DOES PAY.
I was reading through to determine if Yuwie was a scam, and I had a thought when reading your post, Lunaalsol1. . .as a CEO and President of your own business, you may want to invest in spell check: looser, othe, and gladdly do not help your professional image.
Is anyone worried about the fact that Yuwie now has your Social Security Number or Social Insurance Number???? That’s pretty scary…
I have been a member of Yuwie now for several months. While I understand that some are making money, I have enjoyed having an free online forum to stay in touch with actual friends and family. I didn’t choose to make money on the site…so I haven’t worked it like some have. Just a quick note on the pyramid scheme comment. I would have to disagree. A pyramid scheme requires the participant to put in their own money. Yuwie does not require this, so it is not by definition a pyramid scheme. Will I ever make money on Yuwie…who knows…do I care…not really.
Using Yuwie does not require an individual to submit their social security number. I
Oh yes it does since they ‘report earnings to the IRS’. Just crawled all over Yuwie with a view to signing up but it still looks like a scam to me.
Hi.. I just wanted to say that i am a yuwie user and i havent received anything yet.
But.. I started using in about 6 days ago and already have over 150 friends and 4 of those r referals.
Also I dont like your comment about yuwie users being lazy asses because I have three children and I am far from lazy.
my whole life I have done manual labour weather it be digging ditches and helping my parents at home cutting wood or working cutting row for you rich idoits to eat, on my feet from 7 am till 2 am the next morning cutting stinken fish open and ripping their guts out to doing dishes in the sickest bar in town for a few bucks to get by.
If I or anyone can make money off the net and still have time to spend with their families let alone time for yourselves then more power to ya. I dont expect to get rich off it or anything, just have time for life.
Something not alot of people have these days with all the worries about wheres the next cheque comming from or how am i going to pay for all the things the kids need and want while im at home waiting for something to happen by some miricle where theres no strings attached and i get to make a few bucks to help with the every day stuff that are considered luxuries now like good food and healthy living.
you need money to have a vehicle and food and lights and heat believe it or not.
Being a stay at home mother i dont have the time or respect to get a good job and not have to work to pay a babysitter.
If you know something i dont about yuwie .. please feel free to contact me.
Also if you know of any better ways of going about making money at home feel free to let me know.
Everything seems to involve having a credit card and thats just another luxury to me.
So have a great day and please feel free to e-mail me with some advise on this.

Why join another MLM scam?
There are some great revenue sharing websites like Flixya.com, which offers 100% of the Google Adsense revenue for simply sharing videos, photos, blogs. Its a great way for someone to get their feet wet on making money online without an initial investment.
Just my .02. I rather be paid by Google than a site called Yuwie?!
i think you guys are all lazy fat asses… instead of wasting your precious time writing this gay article, go run some laps or earn money the way you want.. and hmm, i dont think everyone is down for working.. i mean hell, if i can make an easy buck doing shit nothing, count me the fuck in.. seriously..
In the first i join with yuwie i want to make an instant money. then i realized, i need a time for making such money. but in other way, i like yuwie very much. there is more active friends than my previous social networking. you can check my profile:

yuwie.com : Social networking that have pay to it user for using their services. More profile views from refferall and friends got more buck. But for me, it’s not to easy at all if some wan to pay us money. They say, more active more buck to get. Wow sound great but by hard way.
Wow, really, girl?
Lol. Did you know you’re #5 on the google rank when you search ‘Yuwie’? Lol!
You really are just promoting the website.
I personally love Yuwie! I’ve been a member for a month now, and it’s quite addicting. They’ve improved their layout as of late, and I’ll see my payout the 15th of April. Yes, Yuwie really pays..I’ve seen quite a few real payouts from other members.
Also, I’ve gotten 30 referrals in the past two weeks after only a little advertising.
Face it, hun. You’re just jealous you didn’t come up with the idea first.
Oh, and soon we will be breaking into 1,000,000 members!

Later!
I am a Yuwie and no I’m not lazy. I like the social networking part of it. Have I made money? No but I have made a lot of friends. Does Yuwie need some upgrading to compete with the big guys as some have mentioned? Yes it would help. I like Yuwie, I didn’t bring any false hopes of getting rich to the table. I have always been a skeptic and I continue to be so. I’d have to see some hard evidence that any of these internet money making schemes really work. My advice to all the people who have not joined Yuwie is to join it and see for yourself what it is really like. I think you would like it if you gave it a chance, and bigger, brighter and more publicised is not always the best. The grass may be greener on the other side but is it real? Yuwies Rule ! All haters step off !!!!
I am a very happy Yuwie user. Yuwie is fun and you can make money! Click the link and you can sign up under me. I will teach you the tricks , and work together with you so that we can both earn money!!

I have been using yuwie for a little while and I really enjoy their site it’s easy to use and great to keep up with what my friends and family are doing these days. I get to see new pictures they post, comments they leave me. I also like meeting new people and seeing what they are doing in other states or countries. So If you like doing these things as well as I do come and join my family and friends the more the better. Thanks for your time.
Ok, Yuwie its the best,
I got a lot of riends and good money.
If u want 2 signu up go to this link:
If dont work,
you can be my refferal at http://r.yuwie.com/theowners/
Thank YoU!! n.n
Ok I’m just curious about where you get this idea from that Yuwie members are all lazy. If you are under the assumption that its a get rich quick site and we get paid $98392894893 a month you are dead wrong.
Try reading through the site a little about how the earnings work Most of the members have regular paying jobs they go to and many own their own business and only use Yuwie to promote it.
About all you’re going to get from there
is enough money to maybe buy a frickin gumball so no they aren’t lazy since its not something you can quit your day job for.
Yes there are people who join only for making friends. Members there do happen to be much friendlier than on myspace and face book.
Gah, I hate the spamming pyramid scheme viral racket Yuwie! There has been so much spamming on Facebook from people trying to recruit others to join Yuwie. And recently I joined and soon left a Ning network that turned out to be nothing but a big Yuwie-promoting site. The comments that were left on not just my profile, but those of others were all spammy ads and everyone there seemed to be a Yuwian. I will never join Yuwie, anything involving a downline, referrals, trying to recruit as many members as possible, and spammers running amok on other social networks trying to drum up support for some site is definitely viral, MLM, and not for me. I don’t care what kind of rewards they promise. It looks like you have a lot of Yuwian shills commenting because they’re up in arms about your honest opinion of the crappy site. If they have to go spamming other networks and annoying other people, something’s definitely off.
OK – since everyone here has their opinion about Yuwie and seem to know everything that is going on. Let me put in my 2 cents about the site.
Fist of all I am a member of the site and have made some wondeful friends on it. With that said – Yuwie was made to be a social network site and not a get rich website. The owner of the site Korry Rogers seen how everyone was joining Myspace and Facebook and though “Wait a sec, all these members are joining these sites and doing all the work and are getting nothing out of it. So what if someone came up with a website that members can join – chat with friends and make a little something out of it. So that is what he has done.
As a member to the site I have personally made over $400 on the site in a couple years and matching that up against what I make on Myspace and Facebook – I would say I made a pretty good profit on yuwie
I use Yuwie to promote my own website which I just built called CLUB FLASHBACK RADIO (visit it at http://www.clubflashback.com if you like)
I also broadcast a live internet radio show (for my website) on yuwie which members like because Yuwie is the first social network site that brings live entertainment to it and has a live chat room during the shows.
Now with all the negativity that people think about Yuwie all I am going to say is I respect your feelings – Everyone has their own thoughts about websites including Myspace and Facebook.
Yes Yuwie does have a pyramid process and it is simple – you tell your friends about the site and they join and then they tell their friends about the site and they join and so on. But if you think about it – is that not the way Myspace and Facebook started? Friends telling friends about it.
Also Yuwie is the first social site to do what it can to keep the site clean – it does not allow nudity, porn or negativity on the site – once it see’s it the profiles are either locked or deleted. This is why it is known as one of the most family friendly social network sites on the web
If you are intrested in checking it out fell free to join at http://r.yuwie.com/flashback and see what the site is about for yourself. Not for what others have to say about it. You may be surprised

It’s very very funny now to me how I see the terms “Pyramid Schemes or just the world “Pyramid.” If I were to ask all of you what a pyramid was, you would say it’s a place where the top guy makes all the money. How true. Unless you run your own independent business you are working for a pyramid structured company. I don’t care if it is a big franchise or a small restaurant every single operating business is structured and operated like a pyramid. No offense to anyone but use common sense and go by the obvious. If you have a boss who is either cool or a total dickhead, the truth is that even on your best day you can never make more money than your boss and if your boss has a boss or several bosses above him, he can never make more money than them on his best day. Have you ever thought about the fact that if you wanted to get promoted where you work you have to kiss the hairiest part of your boss butt or better yet sleep with your boss to get it. How unethical and immoral is that?!! They promise you security and health benefits when they really don’t have a right to make that promise because they don’t even know if they’ll have their own job tomorrow. Here’s my personal favorite scenario that happens too many times, alot of you can relate to your boy when I say this. Some of you are working with that co-worker that does absolutely nothing, goes to the bathroom every 5 minutes, whines and complains over the simpliest tasks on the job, sleeps on the job, makes excsues. Yet he gets paid the same amount for the 40 hours of laziness versus your 40 hours of hard work. WTF is that all about?? You have to ask your boss to take time off to take care of your sick kid, sick husband or wife or go on a vacation you felt you deserve to go on, take personal days to compose yourself. Then there is the dreaded nightmare, your boss and executives can lay you off or fired in some cases without a notice and if you live in TX like me, you can get fired without a reason; it’s legal. They could careless about your livelihood, penchant, family to support and provide for. You just got screwed and out of a job and yet you look at a business opportunity and if they’re legit they don’t guarantee you massive success and instant wealth but an additional stream of income big or small and think that it’s a scam or a pyramid scheme. You may not have to pay or invest money to work at the place you are now, but you maybe getting screwed at of family time, personal time, making memories with friends, tending to personal and financial circumstances. You can get money back, but you can’t get those really important things that matter in life back. It’s okay to believe that network marketingm, MLM, home based business is not for you because they’re isn’t one thing out there for everybody. I have a job to support myself, had success in network marketing and made some money, it wasn’t serious money but it was enough to support myself and get some bills out of the way. The point I would like ya’ll to see, it too go into your job with a different perspective. Go do what you can, work hard and make yourself a living. But don’t you dare believe in the 2 words, “Job Security” it is a contradiction of words and it no longer exists in the dying economy we live in. Think about what you say when try to use the word “Pyramid” in a negative light. Look where you are, if you’re not working for yourself you are making somebody else very wealthy. They don’t have to see you, know you nor care as long as you are making them money with your blood, your sweat and your tears and if you slip up and place of employment suffers it effects everyone. That’s a pyramid and every functioning business works that way. I’ve said enough.

What a douche!! the answer was TRENCH!!! 
sap …
Rebecca, your opinion is not very well informed or thought out. No surprise there, is there?
First of all, the pyramid structure is present in all types of social phenomena, from markets to government, to our debt-based fiat monetary system. Even viral marketing, the holy grail of web marketing, benefits from a pyramid structure.
Confusing the pyramid structure with a “pyramid scheme” is just sloppy thinking. What, in fact, makes a pyramid structure a “scheme” is not the structure of the model but whether or not it’s sustainable at certain input/output ratios.
To understand this requires study; it is not self-evident simply by associating a phrase with popular usage, e.g. “the Berni Madoff pyramid scheme,” et al.
In theory, the idea behind Yuwie.com is a fine one. You may better understand it by way of analogy:
Say you’re hanging out at a shopping mall with your friends; a shopping mall of the future—for those of you that have seen Minority Report, this analogy may seem an intermediate one. At this futuristic shopping mall, you’re not shopping per se as much as you’re hanging out, which the mall openly encourages by having awesome lounges, photo booths, games etc. all serving to augment the social experience.
But there’s a caveat: At the entrance to the mall, a sign posted in fine print states that by entering and using the facilities, you acknowledge that all conversations will be recorded, and hereby authorize disclosure of said conversations to third parties. You don’t read the sign, because you don’t really care; all your friends are inside and you just want to hang out.
Inside the mall, it is barely perceptible to you that the stores and sales notices are actually changing position as you talk with your friends; the products and services begin to “speak to you” silently, until it seems that they’re mimicking your conversation, a part of it, that they too are becoming, your friends.
Behind the scenes, unbeknownst to you, business relationships are forming and money is exchanging hands based on the fluid “conversation economy” that your discussions facilitate.
You see, a savvy technology company has developed a way to isolate, organize, and tag all conversations to the profiles of the participants, it then sells this information to the vendors in this futuristic shopping mall, thusly giving the vendors an edge in “pitching” products you are most likely to buy.
In effect, this technology company is a middleman between you and a seller, a birdie on your shoulder, reading your thoughts and ready to sing (tweet, tweet!), an unofficial agent of sorts, reporting to prospective dealmakers what your demands are likely to be at any given moment. But this agents takes more than a cut, it takes the whole cake.
You see, at its core, advertising is nothing more than a seller paying a commission to whatever entity has access to your senses.
Now ask yourself a simple question: What if sellers had to pay YOU for access to YOUR OWN senses? After all, you’re the one getting pitched. This is a simple, “pay to play” proposition, one that may, over time, increase the right kind of competition and creating a true buyers market.
As with all ideas, the ideal or theoretical concept can manifest quite differently when introduced to the imperfect science of human nature.
A problem with paying users of a social network for their networking is that they will turn the focus of their interactions from aimless socializing to bumbling attempts at running their own ad campaigns. Greed may be good, but in the hands of a fiendish rookie, it can be a total mess. And from what I understand, that’s what Yuwie.com looked like, an unadulterated mess.
The thing with professional marketers is that they are, for the most part, professionals; through trial & error they’re moving toward seamless, undetectable persuasion, which should result in a more elegant menu than allowing consumers write their own orders. At least that’s the paradigm we, facebook, and the rest of industry is living in.
I suppose that’s why we need “genius” like that behind facebook, to organize the lemming consumer impulses, whims and fancies into a coherent economy, because by ourselves we are just a greedy, needy mass, incapable of qualifying our own desires.
This topic is broad and deep and in need of some serious, thoughtful discussion, most of which the headline/opinion whores of the web aren’t capable or interested in demonstrating–on both the writer and reader side
Of course I can’t do the topic justice on such a limited forum, but rather than let this sweet little piece, Rebecca Kelly slide, I thought I’d tear up that ass a little
Forgive me, father, for I have grinned.
When you use the term pyramid scheme I instantly think “SCAM”. I hope you do realize that there is nothing wrong with a pyramid type structure of payment, and naturally would be more beneficial to those who got in before the market is saturated. Having said that it can be very profitable if you have good people skills. And about Yuwie, I tried it a couple years back and to be honest its really not a bad sit. However if you want to get rich you might want to start looking somewhere else.
