Yuwie Make money Social Networking site

I’ve seen this around for a while, but I just got around to actually signing up for an account. Yuwie is a social networking site much like MySpace of Facebook, but this site actually allows you to earn a portion of the revenue your traffic generates for the site. This is not a new concept as it has been done before with varying websites and programs. I think one of the main difference with Yuwie is people actually get paid. I’ve talked to a few of my associates who are already generating several hundred dollars a month with the service and they have only been in a couple of months. Of course I can’t promise you will do the same, but if you can build up a decent team then who knows.

I figured I would give this a shot. I’ve got a few ideas for generating some leads. One of which is posting here. Yes those are affiliate links and if you join through one of them you will be come part of my team. There are some fairly savy marketers jumping on board here and there will be resources coming down the pipe to help people with attracting new members.

I’m betting most people who are reading this already have a built up profile that can be used to start building your team. It was just a year or so ago that MySpace was all the rage and many people where earning a lot of affiliate revenue from their friends list on MySpace. Well Myspace started cracking down and it got tough to send out your broadcasts. Well perhaps many of you still have some of those MySpace accounts. That is prime ground for attracting people to your team as Yuwie has many of the same features as MySpace and Facebook has. Plus wouldn’t it be great to give all your friends an avenue to actually earn a little of the money the generate for MySpace and Facebook. After all what do you have to lose? Setting up an account is free and it is really easy to use. There is a video that will explain exactly how it works so you cna make up your own mind. While the money you can earn initially won’t be a lot, but I would bet if you had just one MySpace account with a 100 friends then you would be able to improve those initial numbers in a hurry. What do you have to lose but a little time? Watch the video now.

Choosing An Affiliate Program

This is a guest post from LaTease Rikard of TEASA’S BLOG MARKETING TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Know Who You’re Dealing With

It is difficult if not impossible in some cases to know if an affiliate program is established, credible and trustworthy just by looking at the site and reading a corporate profile. That is specifically the reason why it is necessary to research the company behind the affiliate program using tools provided by organizations such as BBBOnline, TrustGauge.com and Alexa, all of which offer some form of rating or feedback on companies from affiliates and general users alike.

Offer the Best To Be The Best

While most individual affiliate programs or publisher networks do not allow you to test or try out the product or services free of charge, it is crucial that you know what you are selling is in demand and of good quality. Otherwise, you will not be able to accurately describe the benefits to prospects or if it is a product in a low demand industry you will simply not be able to sell enough to justify your investment of time and resources. Search in the same manner as a consumer would if they were looking for the product or service

Showing You The Money

The reason website owners integrate affiliate programs into their site in the first place is to make money. The payment or commissions you receive, whether it be a per sale, per lead or per visit (click), should be a deciding factor but not the ultimate factor in your affiliate program selection process. Most affiliate networks limit which affiliates or publishers can receive which type of commission structure, usually reserving the per click option to highly productive publishers.


Time To Choose
Now that you are more prepared to make an informed decision you can start researching what will work best on your own site. Search through affiliate program directories such as associateprograms.com or join popular publisher networks such as Commission Junction or pepperjamnetwork.com.
You will easily find a program or group of programs that work in tandem with what you are already selling or that work seamlessly with existing content. If you choose correctly, affiliate program riches may be yours. Good Luck.
