Wow, an app

If you've been reading this blog then you will know that I like Tsu. It's a good social site that has a good mix of people. Of course it also pays you and I've made over $100 there that I was able to redeem recently. There have been a few other sites with similar models that I have tried over the last year, but none of them was as fun to use and so I didn't use them enough to earn a significant amount.

Now there'a chat app which also pays users from advertising revenue. It's called WowApp and it seems to offer a similar set of features to Skype. Like Tsu it offers the option to transfer money to charities. You see ads in the app (Window, Apple, iOS and Android, no Linux) and web site, but they are not terribly obtrusive.

I'm trying it for now with a few people and have made about a cent. I've only recruited one person whereas others have hundreds and they are making a lot more.

I'll still have to use Skype, Facebook, Google and WhatsApp to stay in touch with friends, but this is another option.

Tsu really does pay you

One of the issues Tsu has had is that people think it's some kind of scam or pyramid scheme and that they will never get paid. Well, I can happily report than even a bumbling amateur like me can get paid. This week I received a PayPal transfer of $100 (minus some fees), two days after I claimed it. I've never had to pay anything in. I've just given time I would have spent on-line anyway.

It's taken over a year to get to this point, but in that time I have given many dollars to charities and bought a painting using my Tsu earnings. If I hadn't done those I could have claimed some months ago, but I don't really mind. I never expected to make more than beer money from Tsu.

There are some people who have made thousands, but they either worked on it a lot more or are very well connected and so could build a network of top people who would make them some good money. I have limited social connections. I have amassed a lot of Tsu 'children', but they are mostly amateurs like me and many gave up when they didn't see the cash roll in.

I do have some cool children now who I expect could do well on Tsu if they stick with it. These include:

• GVader who makes fun videos about gaming
• Jared from How To Play In A Band, a site with useful resources for musicians
• Diary of a Blind Lady is a blog by a friend who documents how she is losing her site, but still manages to laugh
• Brian is also a friend and he's embarking on a new music career. He's into the UK festival scene
• Alexandra is a young lady in the USA who I suspect wants to get into modelling

If you are considering joining Tsu then please do it via one of these people as it will give them a welcome boost. I'm already doing relatively well there.

As always, I welcome any questions.
