A Reach-Around Zenzuu Style
September 1, 2008 by Herb Stalk
I really want the readers of WhatsThisWebThing to offer their comments on this. As a person who blogs to help the new home business owner or new website owner, I do a lot of traveling around the internet running down leads and rumours. I hear things in forums and from other sites about ways of making money and new ways of doing this or that. In 99.9 percent of the cases, red flags get get raised. I have gotten to the point where I can smell when something does sound right.
Well, this past weekend I was in one of the blog directories and I came across this new social networking site called Zenzuu.com. They just launched on August 1st of this year. ZenZuu is a next generation social networking platform that lets you create a profile similar to other social networks, except they say their leading edge technology allows you to make money by signing up your friends and receive revenue sharing. In other words, like a pryamid scheme (red flag), you sign up and then get friends to sign up under you. When you sign up, Zenzuu shares part of its ad revenue, an income stream of most giant social networks, like MySpace. As the friends under you sign up more people, you get part of their share to.
Now, I suppose if someone had the idea of starting a new “MySpace” and wanted to compete on that level then they would need to come up with some grand idea to get people to join. Otherwise, they would be relegated to the basement where all those other thousands of money-less, dinky little social networking sites live. At the time of this writing, MySpace has over 270 million users. That’s big! Thats twice the size of Canada.
Anyway, you can only sign up to Zenzuu when sponsored. You need to be invited by an existing member(red flag). When you get to the site you will be presented with videos that show you the advantages of signing up. These videos just vomit red flags. One has the typical scene of beautiful girls riding in a Rolls-Royce down some street that looks like Beverly Hills. They try to explain the positives of joining from a swimming pool of a very expensive home. Another has this guy named Joe Risk (Ironic name - Dr Freud needed at Zenzuu, Dr Freud needed at Zenzuu), who comes off like a used car salesman and seems that he is about to go into the schtick of a WWE wrestler. His job is also to explain the benefits of joining. One weird thing is that you have to promise you will log into the site 30 times a month. Maybe that caveat is what they are promising their advertisers?
Now here is my dilema. When smelling out a scam I am pretty good and the Zenzu approach of getting users to sign up just screams red flag. But my problem is this. Everything is free. They never ask for money. They never ask for a credit card. Whenever I see a scam, the first sign is when “they” ask for a down payment or a small one time fee for some software, ebook or the inner workings of their new system. However, Zenzuu never asks for anything. It is totally free. I don’t know what to make of it. Maybe they just suck at marketing and don’t realize their video’s are total nonsense. Maybe their idea is good?
Anyways, I had Jimmy sign up to check it out and he was instantly hit with some fellow member’s online business idea in his in box. It was a definitly spam. But he just let it go. I later found out that the doink signed under my name. Even Jim wasnt sure what to make of it and threw me under the internet crazy idea bus. This idea of Zenzuu’s has me so puzzled. What do you guys think? Have you heard of it? Do you belong?
If you wanna check it out and then get back to comment, feel free because I am really interested. Since you have to know someone to join you can use my invite. Click here. Man, this sounds so odd and scammy but I dont know what to make of them not asking for anything. Maybe down the road they will. I suppose at that time is when a person could bail before they lost anything. Maybe its legit and years from now when they become big, you will all be looking at me and saying “Herb, you dropped the ball on that one!”
HI Herb,
I think you will have more of your questions about ZenZuu answered at this site: http://www.theinsidersguidetozenzuu.com
The founder of the site, Tommy Vu, was on a teleconference call this past Sunday night. The link to his call is on that site so that you can hear his future plans for ZenZuu.

Sorry - let me clarify– Tommy Vu is the founder of ZenZuu, not of the Insiders Guide site. My apologies for any confusion.
ZenZuu is similar to Yuwie accept Yuwie has been online longer, and their founders have created a pop-up mess with their offerings.
What I liked about Yuwie is that many friends came knocking on your door which makes for great visuals for one’s friend’s list. I enjoyed the live streaming radio shows that many members created on Yuwie also..Currently I do not visit Yuwie but for once or twice a month. Yuwie pays its member with payments for actions performed by members and their downline. Very hard to make a buck.
ZenZuu proposes the same offer except they have some log-in requirements in order to receive payments. Forget what money you can make on these member traffic rewards. For ZenZuu, I look for the opportunities to buy and sell through there software platform. What makes Zen Zuu a good social networking option is when they present a fully stocked listing of products from members who sell to other members. If it becomes known to go to ZenZuu to look for a good deal, then members could see great gains if a good downline is constructed and maintained. Get some products online to sell to members and you could get more from ZenZuu than you give.

I’ve been with both yuwie, zenzuu and 6dgr for 3 months now. The only one I’ve gotten paid so far from is 6dgr. The pay is not even close. I’ve already gotten paid over a couple thousand dollars (every 2 weeks with 6dgr.) My pending pay is $1.21 on yuwie and so for zero from zenzuu. Hard to promote or believe in anything when it’s all just hype. In the end of the day, free opportunity or not it’s did one get paid as advertised by the business. I’m like a whole lot of people on both yuwie and zenzuu - we’ve spent a lot of time in those networks and though free, one does want to be somewhat compensated for time spent working the business. So far the only one getting rich on Yuwie and Zenzuu are the owners. I’ve spend over 12 hours a day, 7 days a week to not be paid a dime yet.
For the best free paying social website check out 6dgr. You all should also go to alexa.com and check out which one of the three is the only one growing. Again it’s not even close.
Here’s a video that explains how 6dgr works:

Sign up here if interested it’s free and it also comes with on-going personalized training from the #1 money maker on 6dgr. I also have over 1/2 of the top money makers on the site - not bad for someone just 3 months in and I’ve yet to spend a dime yet on anything.

See you all where the grass is greener and where it’s not all just hype,
