Is Yuwie.com a Glimpse into Future of Online Business?
Social networking site attempts to outflank MySpace & Facebook by sharing advertising revenues with end-users.
“MySpace and Facebook have already proven how business can make money from the efforts of end-users,” said Korry Rogers, founder and CEO of Yuwie. “Yuwie is proving that both businesses and end-users can finally share the $100 million per month advertising revenue that floods into the social networking market today.
” Rogers explains that Yuwie’s business model is based upon two core tenants: 1) End-user participation is free – no sign-up fees or subscription fees are required, and 2) Yuwie currently distributes well over half of the site’s advertising revenue back to participating end-users. Not only are Yuwie’s end-users paid for the traffic generated for their own personal page, but also for the traffic generated by friends they refer to the site, in addition to traffic generated from their friends’ subsequent referrals (for up to ten (10) layers or generations of personal referrals).
"The revenue potential for end-users is striking and very exciting once you start to run the numbers;” explained Rogers. "If someone only refers three of their friends, who refer three of their friends through ten levels, that one person will ultimately collect a percentage of advertising revenues from about 88,000 end-users, which can translate to about $8,800 per month for that person – every month.
" So far, end-users’ response to Yuwie’s new business model has completely shattered initial projections by attracting 300,000 registered members to Yuwie’s brand of social networking – in just five (5) months. Moreover, Yuwie’s growing page views, which currently total 1,800,000 per day, have catapulted the website’s global ranking from below the top 100,000 list, to one of the top 2,500 websites in the world.
About Yuwie.com, Yuwie (Yuwie.com) is the world’s first social networking site that truly allows end-users to collect a percentage of online advertising revenues generated from the website. By integrating end-user personalization, social networking tools, and monthly income potential for end-users, Yuwie appears poised to usher in the next-generation of online business.

Social Networking more popular than Email ?
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that social networking is popular. According to Nielsen Online, it’s become a whole lot more popular. From December 2007 to December 2008, social networks or blogs account for nearly 10% of all Internet time, and the “Member Communities” category of sites surpassed the email category in Internet popularity, measured by time on site. (Don’t worry, though: search, portals and software apps still edge out social networks.)
Nielsen reports that two-thirds of the world’s Internet population belongs to a social network, though the by-country stats show a little more variation: only half of Switzerland’s and Germany’s residents are on social networks, while Brazil has 80% of its population social networking (Orkut FTW!). In Brazil, one in every four minutes online is spent on a social networking site. (In the UK, it’s one of every six minutes, in the US, it’s one of every sixteen.)
On the other hand, the smaller markets are seeing the biggest growth—Germany was the fastest growing country in social network membership last year.
Facebook is the big winner in this race, however. Worldwide, the most popular social network saw a 566% increase in time spent on site last year, coming to total 20.5 billion minutes on site. (!) They also premiered a German-language version in March 2008, which has somewhat with the increased popularity of social networking in that country (although FB still lags behind more established sites).
Nielsen also documents the demographic shift to older users on social networks worldwide. The full report (PDF) includes some good suggestions for advertisers and publishers, as well as data on country- and network-specific uses.

How to benefit from using social networking sites
Here are 9 basics on how to benefit from using social networking sites.
1. Build a good profile ~ There is a difference between looking in the window and going into the store. To benefit from social networking sites you need to become part of the experience and the way to do that is to build a profile. I signed up for Yuwie about a month before I actually used it. Once I did use it I got hooked, but it all started with building a profile and getting started. There is more to building a profile than simply signing up. First...Try to put something in the picture box: If you don't have a picture of yourself that's fine but anything is better than the face-less model that most sites use. Second...Develop an introduction to you and your business(s): Be sure to build an introduction or "about" section and don't make it all business. True networking is about relationships and you need to give people some level of insight into you as a person.
