When I got an email inviting me to sign up to Yuwie I couldn’t help but be curious, I usually screen out these invites but the possibility of getting paid for social networking really caught my attention. Yuwie is apparently like Myspace, You tube, Facebook, Bebo and Hi5 with one big difference- you get paid to do everything!

I was surprised when I read that Facebook makes over $8million a month from  advertising alone and Myspace makes almost $25million! It makes sense that the users- the people who are making the pages, writing the blogs and creating this advertising space should somehow benefit from this. That is Yuwie’s message.

I’ve been doing some research and am convinced it’s not a scam, it doesn’t promise to be a get rich quick scheme but just pays its users small amounts that build up over time. You get paid for uploading pictures, videos, blog posts, inviting friends, starting clubs and basically everything you normally would do whilst social networking. The minimum payout is £50 and payments are handled by Paypal, a trusted and well known site. Even though I still love Facebook and I’m not entirely sure how long it takes to earn the minimum payout, I’ve decided to give Yuwie the benefit of the doubt and sign up, after all even if it takes months its still £50 for spending time on the internet, which I would be doing anyway.
