The Yuwie ScamYou've probably heard a thing or two about Yuwie and the "great Yuwie Scam." It touts itself as being the social networking revolution. If you're not familiar with Yuwie, you can check out what it is here. Of course, the ultimate question everyone has is, “Is Yuwie a scam?” To cut straight to the chase, no. I'll argue that it is not. The better question is, “Can I really make substantial income with Yuwie?” The second question is slightly harder to answer. The best response is, “It is possible.” More on that in a second. First, things first: Is Yuwie a scam? Numerous points could made to support Yuwie's legitimacy, but I'll make light of two important points. First... It's free to join.Yuwie is a no-fee site, so it doesn't cost you anything to sign up. You're major investment here is time. This is important because we know that Yuwie isn't profiting by taking new members' registration fees. This fact alone should dispel fears that it is either an illegal pyramid or ponzi scheme. Yuwie does profit from its members, but it does so the same way other social networks do: advertising. The more people sign up Yuwie's services, the more exposure there is to the ads on the network. It is from advertising that the profits are made, not charging members. Because of this, if something goes wrong and the site collapse, members won't be out their entry money (because there is no entry or subsequent membership investments.) There is an actual product/service.Most people focus so much on the monetary aspect of things, they forget about the social network itself. When it comes to typical illegal pyramids or marketing structures, the product or service is simply a front for the pyramid. With Yuwie, the service (Yuwie Network) is what keeps payment structure alive, as people need to actively need to be viewing ads on the network. Because of these two factors, I would argue that there is no real Yuwie Scam. Despite whatever may happen to the Yuwie network, members won't lose money. Furthermore, ignoring the revenue sharing potential, its members are still provided with the service of the social network. In short, the greatest Yuwie Scam I can imagine is Yuwie refusing to make legitimate payouts, which I have yet to hear of. Now that the question of whether or not Yuwie is a legitimate service, the question of whether or not
Yuwie is a reasonable or feasible means of making money.
