Can You Really Make Money Using Tsu?

Everyday, hundreds of social media network websites are being launched and want to be Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin. . However, almost all of them failed. There are many factors that contribute to it. One of the major issues is a lack of strategy.

When planing any type of strategy, one needs to analyze one’s competitors, and scoop out what they have and don’t have. Tsu is one of few that has the interesting strategy. According to the website, Tsu claims they are the only social media network out there that is sharing ads revenue with its users. On top of that, Tsu only keeps 10% whereas users keep the rest.

As a result of such interesting concept, within few months of the website launched, thousands people had signed up with the website; currently, it has over 1 million active users.

Now how do you make money using TSU?

The basic concept is quite easy:

You post a post, picture or infographic  You friends or other people viewing your stuffs that come with ads  Revenue generated by ads  shared 90/10 in your favor.

In addition, TSU also has a referral program. So basically, each user will have a unique referral link; when a new user signs up with your referral link, he/she will be your child, you will earn certain percentage of what your child earns. One good thing about TSU is that you can’t sign up without a referral link. So that if a user wants to use TSU, he or she needs to have a referral link to sign up. Therefore, whoever promote TSU the most will likely get the most out of TSU.

Now, here is my thought:

Most social media network websites come and go. Just take Myspace as an example; it used to be the most popular social media network out there. Now, it is transformed into “New Myspace”,  all old users’ materials were gone, such as posts, pictures, etc.

The point is TSU might be ended it up like that. You spend countless hours doing research and posting content, in hope of one post can go viral, and generate revenue for you. One day, TSU decides they are no longer able to support the platform and have to shut it down. All of your materials will be gone; all those countless hours will be wasted for nothing. Now, the question is to you: is it really worth the risk?

Of course, just like any social media platforms, in order to make money from them, you need to be popular or famous, so that you have a lot of followers or “friends”. Common people like you and I, it is better spend time to get our own websites, setup our own ads, and promoting stuffs.  At least this way, we have control over what we have, and scale up our marketing plans.
