200.000 a minute ago

Yuwie did get it's 200.000 member just a minute ago. It took exactly one month from 100.000. I expect that the next 100.000 will take just 2 - 3 weeks. Yuwie is on the fly.

Yuwies new level

Yuwie has been rising at Alexa.com's rankings since opening the site. Now Yuwie has risen to the top 2000 of all sites in the world. For last seven days Yuwies ranking has been above 2000 and one week average was today 1684. Yesterday Yuwie reached it's top ever, it was 1387.

If you compare the traffic history to MySpaces history, you can see that there is much similarities between these two, but Yuwie is faster with it's jump start.

Why I did choose Yuwie instead of other networks

Yuwie is very small network when we compare it to it's competitors, MySpace and Facebook – or almost to any other social network around. It's young and nobody has heard of it. But still I prefer it instead of others and I can tell you why.

When the biggest buzz was around MySpace, I took a look to it and I wasn't impressed. I'm a grown up man, father of two teenagers and that is about all of teenagers I can take. Shure they have some older people as members and I know that many times I don't act as most of people acts at my age, but still MySpage was kids stuff to me. I have an account there but I don't use it. I don't even look for referrals from MySpace. They aren't worth of it. IMHO

Then there is Facebook. Facebook is under buzz right now – atleast in my country, Finland, everybody is talking about Facebook and their profile. Some people are really hooked on it! Facebook has games and widget and other cool stuff, but there is one thing that is missing – content. Where is the f***ing content there? There is a big lack of content in Facebook – it's empty! If you can write a blog at Facebook, I just haven't found where I can do it.

To me, Yuwie is different. I have found real people from here and I have become a friend with few. A real friend. Mostly I just like it around here. This is why I choose Yuwie.

OK, there is that money thing too, but money isn't everything. Money is just a nice little extra.

$150 revenue?

Just got my September revenue report and it didn't show me any growth:

Level 1030%0$0.00
Totals: 54,886$1.83


Actually it was few cents lower than in August. And how that can be possible? Isn't Yuwie growing all the time? Yes, Yuwie is growing all the time, my downline is growing all the time, but people stays quite passive.

Just counted that if every person in my first 3 levels would be as active as I am, my cheque would be $150, instead of $1.83. But I'm not complaining and giving up, because with giving up you can never win anything – except the Looser Trophy and that a trophy I don't want receive.

Question is: How we can activate our downlines? Eric G. is doing well with Yuwie Survivor (have you voted yet?), but can we others create something to activate other members? Because "dropping by to say hello" with a glittering picture isn't too much of the content.
