All former Yuwie-ites or people who are thinking of leaving Yuwie, opinons?  |
|
I'm seriously wanting to point this out to Y Guy over on Yuwie. For those of you who signed up and deleted your accounts, what were the biggest reasons why? Who signed up and got right back off again? Who was really invested in the site but just gave up or got mad and left? Was it something about the site? Was it the people? The ads? Error messages? Insufficient earnings? If it was more than one thing, please name all of them in order. I think the responses will be eye opening!

21. scarlet_woman (8859) | 9 months ago | i was never on there-friends told me not to bother.. but they said it was slow as molasses some days,and you really didn't make much. i guess it'd be ok just for friends though,if you could get past the slow.
| |
| |
|
|
dawnald (9960) | 9 months ago | I believe they have resolved most of the slowness issues. As for earnings, you need to refer people (and keep them active) to earn well. But yeah it's great for friends. I've met some very nice people there!

dawnald (9960) | 8 months ago | People who have a lot of graphics and music players and so on definitely have pages that load slowly. Also the site has had problems. My friends in Britain especially say they have problems. But it has gotten better...

22. amirev777 (802) | 9 months ago | hi i had basically joined yuwie to make some new friends and earn some bucks-even though i succeeded in making some friends, i doubt whether they are real people-i mean they really look like their photos in their profile.as far as earning is concerned-i think it was really very disappointing-i spent nearly twice the time on yuwie as compared to mylot and did not earn even half.i wud have continued with yuwie if i cud earn quite a lot there as well.
| |
| |
|
|
dawnald (9960) | 9 months ago | Sure there are fake avatars there, just like here. And over there the earnings depend more on what your referrals do than what you do. Here, you can earn a lot better from your own activity.

amirev777 (802) | 8 months ago | hi yeah u r right when u say that there are fake avtars in mylot too-i think there are fake people everywhere in this world (or else there wudn't have been so much cheating-its genuine people who are hard to find).yes u r right-in yuwie u need to have many referrals to earn-and getting a lot of referrals is not a easy thing to do.but here in mylot u can earn on ur own-more u right, more u earn-its as simple as that.
| |
|
|
dawnald (9960) | 8 months ago | You can tell who is (more or less) geniune though. Even if the avatar is fake, you can go look at people's pictures and if there are real ones there and family pics and so on, it's a pretty good indication.

23. strawberrychocodahi (2471) | 9 months ago | Sad to say i signed up for this site too. But it was late when i read their TOS and FAQ and the pay is really low for me, and it will be a snail earner on my side so without any questions, i really did not continue participating there.
Yes, the site is too bland, boring and it did not catch my attention because i have been with good sites running in a friendly environment. Although in Yuwie i think it started way back, it has been there but they need to focus on changing or improving the site itself so that member will be interested.
If they want traffic, they would need to increase their pay to members. Anyway it looks the same with other sites, so why not improved it more,do they have any new gimmicks? Happy Mylotting.

dawnald (9960) | 9 months ago | The pay is dependent upon referrals, so if you aren't good at referring people, the pay can definitely be low. They do have a game section now and videos, really need to add a music section.

24. neildc (3531) | 8 months ago | The biggest set-back for me with Yuwie is the earnings. I invested a lot of time with the site. I spend more than half of me work time with Yuwie, keeping my account always online, whenever I am in the office, when there is internet connection, when most of the time, even I have more important tasks to do in the office, I kept online, just to keep my account active and in hope to earn fast. But before I met mylot, it was Yuwie. I left Yuwie with nothing earned, but with mylot, I already earned dollars, that really helps me financially...
| |
| |
|
|
dawnald (9960) | 8 months ago | You need to refer people. YOu can't make money there on your own activity. That's the thing...
| |
|
|
neildc (3531) | 8 months ago | I know that doing alone will not really make us more money but referring people to Yuwie is the hardest and the most difficult thing to do in Yuwie...
| |
|
|
dawnald (9960) | 8 months ago | especially now that the site's gotten a bad reputation...

dawnald (9960) | 8 months ago | All I know is that for every time your page gets clicked on or your referral's page gets clicked on, you get some% of the ad revenue. But yep, you do have to refer people, and the site doesn't help you with that (other than the awarding of random referrals).
I'm no good at customizing either. Multiply is much easier than Yuwie for doing that.

26. siZidni (756) | 8 months ago | i don't even quite understand why people leave yuwie? i think this is one of the honest site. i've been a member of it since 2007. are you one of the ex member of yuwie? why do you leave then?
| |
| |
|
|
dawnald (9960) | 8 months ago | I am still there. The site has some problems but I really like it. I'm just trying to find out what people who aren't so happy about it are thinking.

dawnald (9960) | 8 months ago | Y Guy is still there. He's maybe not on as much as he was before, but that's because his wife had twins recently. I like the site but you do need to refer a lot of people (who stay active) to make any money. I like the people there (most of them lol).
| |
|
|
May2k8 (1369) | 8 months ago | Oh I see, there a lot of interest people who can share jokes and humor. For tell the truth, I am still active every day with mylot and yuwie even i trying hard to open my pages. So, i can learn with both site. I am not using my real photo in any site, because i have my account has been hacked in friendster.
| |
|
|
dawnald (9960) | 8 months ago | Don't you just HATE hackers? There ought to be a special punishment for people like that...
| |
|
|
May2k8 (1369) | 8 months ago | It's very long ago, i already punish that hacker with virus which can write your BIOS to be empty. And, if the hacker is turn on the computer so it will be blank screen. Are your name right there is Dawn? I think has been be friend with you. My name is May...
| |
|
|
dawnald (9960) | 8 months ago | Sounds like a fair punishment! Oh yes, I saw you there!

28. RobsWife10706 (1050) | 8 months ago | I basically joined Yewie to earn a little extra money. At least I was lead to believe that you can earn just by being a member. Of course I soon found out that you don't earn a dime, no matter how much time or effort you put into it. I haven't yet deleted my account there, but I can't even remember the last time I logged in to the site. I will get around to deleting my account there when I can find the time.
| |
| |
|
|
dawnald (9960) | 8 months ago | That's not quite accurate. I have earned about $20, but over a year and a half that's not much, is it? You have to refer people who stay active, that's the trick. Actually, there's a couple of people there who are really good at getting referrals (I'm not one of them lol) and if you were to delete your account and sign up under them, they get referrals for their downline.

29. coolcoder (1555) | 7 months ago | I deleted my Yuwie just last night after thinking about all of the time I was there trying to actually do something to earn money, but getting nowhere fast. And the spam...I agree with y'all, the spam was awful. I would think that one of my friends had sent me a message to tell me hello or something like that, but all it turned out to be was an ad for some website or other. It was very disheartening.
| |
| |
|
|
dawnald (9960) | 7 months ago | You need a LOT of referrals and you use a LOT of time trying to chase after a very few dollars. And the spam can be very annoying. If you go there just for socializing and drop the spammers from your friends lists, it can be a very rewarding place.
| |
|
|
coolcoder (1555) | 7 months ago | Ultimately, I felt that my best course of action was to just leave. I am really not good at referring people, so that being the case, I asked myself why I even bothered. Oh, well.:)
| |
|
|
dawnald (9960) | 7 months ago | I can see that, but if you had made some friends there it might have been worth it to stay for other reasons...

30. debrakcarey (1351) | 7 months ago | Hi Dawn, thanks for recommending this site. As for Yuwie, I joined early on thinking I'd make some money for having FUN. lol WEll, I did find some fun/interesting people there, like yourself. But my exprience other wise has been disappointing to say the least. I've made about $26 since August of 2007. I USED to have about 500 referrals. I say 'used to' cause I deleted my original account due to the cheating, cliques, recent threats of censorship of posts, and most of all the apparent favoring of one particular group over all others. Like you, I quickly figured out I would make no money to speak of. Most of my referrals quit or became inactive early on. When approached about why they gave up so quickly, the response I got the most was the 'report for referral' policy that was in place back then. People running around snitching on each other to get rewarded with referrals. Now, the things that got people in trouble when they were reported...are allowed and seemingly overlooked. So, I kept my profile up...and concentrated on friendships and blogging. As time went on I came up against a certain member, I made him mad cause I would question his 'negative notices' calling women freaks and letting people think he was staff when he isn't. Since my first run in with him...my Yuwie experience has more or less been to defend myself against his lies and the rumors he and his some of his following have started about me. I deleted my original account when he accused me of writing blogs just for the page views...of being a 'drama queen'. This coming from a member who posts his monthly stats as if they were scripture each month! lol Anyway...I did go back. Why? Cause I missed the great friends, the blogs they write, the fun we have exchanging ideas and just cause I am NOT a quitter! Now it cannot be said of me by anyone that I am there for page views...I have no referrals and any page views I get will not be paid as I did not give any payment info when I re signed. So...do I love Yuwie? NO...I love the friends I've made there. debrakcarey
