There's nothing like a hot bowl of chili stew to bring some cheer into the winter gloom. Check out my recipe here.

Tsu, Seriously?

It has been almost three weeks since I signed up for Tsu. I'm confident it's not a scam for the reasons layed out below. One, I don't even have an opportunity to be paid by FaceBook for my posts but I do on Tsu. One article I read asks and answers the question, "Is Tsu a scam?"

When I was first introduced to Tsu, I figured the folks were mad (spelled bonkers) for signing up. Then I started to do a little hunting on the web about Tsu. The first question the Tsu faq answers is what is Tsu? I like that they are up front and personal about their tolerance, rather intolerance, for spam and inappropriate content.

I use Tsu to drive traffic to my other social media accounts as well increase my followership. As I post, I realize there is an absence of annoying ads everywhere, no problem there. They are Ads, but they are to one side or another of the layout of the page and don't pop up between posts horizontally. I don't notice them unless I look to the sidewalk menus on the page.

My earnings accrue each day. Of course, getting paid from Tsu doesn't happen over night, but it does happen. Ask Kevin Hinkle. Kevin got his first check in the mail from Evacuation Complete LLC, the company behind Tsu. Watch the video of that momentous moment.

Just a few more articles on the subject, in conclustion. Recode provides the lowdown, bare bones information you need to know about Tsu. Take a look at ZDNet's take on the Tsu-nami. Catch Tsu's founder and CEO Sebastian Sobczak on YouTube.

Since Tsu is a site for which you can register only by invitation, please take a moment to register with Tsu so you can start earning for the time you spend doing facebook-like activities on the internet.

This is what Tsu says about their platform:

What is tsū?
tsū is a free social network and payment platform that shares up to 90% of revenues with its users.
(tsū is pronounced ‘Sue’)
How is tsū different?
1. Ownership - We believe in real ownership, which only exists when users own the rights to their content and the economics that come with it. Users should be compensated for their likeness, image and content. It’s simple and it’s the right thing to do.
2. Access - We share social revenues with everyone, for any type of content, size of network or level of influence. Using tsū requires nothing more than what you already do on other social media platforms today.
3. Empowerment - Our model is global, scalable, and designed to empower the user. For the first time every user can be a content creator earning royalties in perpetuity.

IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION:

tsu.co is a community for authentic engagement. Please treat it respectfully. Users who spam or post inappropriate content will be banned in order to preserve the community.

Tsu ~ User Friendly Revenue Sharing Opportunity



Check out this revenue sharing site. The member short code would be ArachneaENTs. Passive income can't get more passive than this. I find it the perfect place to post information about my pottery and books and hubs and anything else I want to post about. I don't plan to put a lot of time into fiddling with it either.

Tsū is a free social network that shares its revenues with its users and those that invited them into tsū. It's just the right thing to do. Learn more by clicking the link below.
