“Once again uVme strikes gold… We thought both the .com and .biz sites hit the mark, but to have a portable promotion tool like the debit card is absolutely fantastic. I have shown it to several friends and staff at work who were totally amazed! I have already given them details on how to join. Thank you uVme for giving me another opportunity to promote this fantastic business. Success to all!” —Paul Smalldon (271004)

“One of the major problems we face as online marketeers is establishing the credibility of our business to prospects - uVme have done exactly what they set out to do and that is make it as easy as possible for all Associates to move forward with ease.

“With the backing of a major high street bank and the globally recognised Visa brand, we now have yet another powerful tool (but this one is in our wallets!)… something we can touch and use anywhere!” —Nik Grey (144577)

Our technicians and programmers have been hard at work to bring you progressive tournaments. You can probably imagine that with the potential to have many thousands of players in one tournament over a short period of time, we need to be very sure that the systems operating them are running with maximum efficiency. 

With that in mind we have decided to continue testing for the rest of this week and launch the first progressive tournament next week. By popular demand the first progressive tournament will feature the very popular game… Fruit Frenzy.  The entry fee will be £1 and 33% of the top scoring players will win a prize!

We are also launching two new “classic” games, which you will find on your games site a little later on today. Recently featured in our Pioneers web-conference, the games are Tetra Blocks and Sam Serpent…  If you were around when computer games were first introduced, (some years ago)… you will remember these games… you’ll notice also, that we have kept the classic look…

Look at Eric Avery’s slides as he reviews and updates you on your “new” uVme business. You’ll hear about how much game turnover it takes to qualify as Active during each cycle of this “phased approach”. Eric also reviews his latest road show and shows you how attending one could benefit you and your team. He introduces the uVme business blog, which is specifically for Associates, and will focus on the business rather than playing games and other general, public information as featured on this blog. Also discussed are the uVme pre-paid Visa debit card, uVme vouchers, the first progressive tournament, and the posting of commission payments.

Come along to the Holiday Inn Brentwood (Essex), just off the M25 London ring road, on Sunday 13th July, and discover how you and your uVme team members can benefit from the new bonuses of the new “Coded Commission Plan”, as well as introducing your guests to uVme.

We have had feedback from people who were confused by the new Commission Plan, who after seeing Eric’s presentation on it now understand it well enough to explain it to others. Plus, you’ll have a lot of fun and meet other uVme members!

Doors open at 9.45am and the event is expected to finish around mid-day.

For more details and how to book places for you and your guests, see www.uVmeevents.com.

Presenter Eric Avery said, “We had about 60 very excited Members and their guests attend the uVme event in Manchester Sunday. There was a business meeting in the morning, followed by a workshop in which we covered how to find prospects and the new coded bonuses, among other things. Then we had a question and answer session that people really enjoyed. In the break, I heard lots of very positive comments about the new ‘Black Diamond’ business-building website. The event was a great success!”

Don’t miss the next uVme Road Show event on 13th July, which will be held in southern England - see www.uVmeevents.com for more information.

Here is uVme Independent Associate Bill Meadowcroft in his “continuing quest to deliver uVme to the outer islands of Scotland.” While working in Tiree with Paul Veverka recently, the pair stopped to snap this photo. “A few farmers and some onlooking sheep wondered what the big, blue foam hand was about,” Paul said… “Next stop: another 22 islands in Scotland!”

Click here to listen to Tom Brodie and Eric Avery’s uVme web conference, broadcast live and recorded on Tuesday, 24th June 2008. This conference contains essential information which every uVme Associate needs to know!

During the conference, Eric goes through some of the tools and features on the brand new Black Diamond business-building website and shows you how they work hand-in-hand with the new Commission Plan: “P” Positions, Associate placement, coded groups, reports, your genealogy, etc.

Tom then takes the “mike” and provides further information on the new “P” positions and Commission Plan as well as introducing the new uVme debit card and the newly launched uVme “vouchers”, which allow you to give some of your commission earnings to others who perhaps do not want to use their credit cards to upload funds or pay their Licence Fee… or as an incentive to try out paid games.

Also announced are an upcoming uVme Road Show event at the end of June, and the soon-to-be released uVme tournaments and how they will work.

The PowerPoint slides used in this conference are available on request - please email uVme Member Support if you would like a copy.

The new uVme Black Diamond website is to be released on Monday 23rd June 2008. To facilitate the transition of data and web pages the existing .biz site will be taken off-line and replaced with a holding page on Sunday 22nd June at around 11:59pm BST. Due to the interaction between the .biz and .com web site the .com game site may also be taken off-line from time to time.

As we move through next week we will also load the functionality to enable you to take part in “progressive tournaments” and order your very own uVme debit card from which you can retrieve your commissions… and spend them!

In conjunction with the launch of Black Diamond we also have the NEW uVme Commission Plan. If you have not yet seen or read the new uVme Commission Plan click this link to get a copy. 

Feel free to spread this exciting news to your team members and players…

Due to essential maintenance of the Game Site we will temporarily suspending access to the uVme.com web site between 3am and 6am BST on Thursday 19th June 2008.

When this process is complete the holding pages will be removed.
Our programmers and technicians will also be releasing updates in readiness for events taking place on 23rd June. More news on that to follow…
Please pass this information to your players and team members.

Here is Phil Yates doing the V near Busuanga “Paradise Island”, Palawan, Philippines, during his South China Sea uVme expedition with Roy Brooke and Graham Cox, of “Connections International”, around Easter this year. Phil was acting as “International Media Correspondent” for the team and promoting his uVme website.

The new uVme commission plan will go into “automatic mode” on 23rd June 2008.
From the 23rd June your promotional positions will be automatically calculated by the system and cannot then be undone.
If you have not already sent Member Support an email indicating which members of your team to allocate to your “P” groups you should do so now. The “cut off” for receiving your requests is on Wednesday 18th June 2008 at 9am BST.
When making your selections remember that you can only select personally sponsored members (and their groups), and when counting group numbers, you should not count the number of members (and their teams), who have been “placed” in your downline.

Rules to follow:
If you have 11 members or less in your team, you will start at the P1 position, and the system will take care of that for you… no need to email us….
P1 – Group… Minimum of 12 in this coded group required, with at least 2 members who are personally sponsored. No more than 60% of members can be in any one leg.
P2 – Group… Minimum of 12 in this coded group required, with at least 2 members who are personally sponsored. You must also have a total P1, P2 group size,  of 30 or more.
No more than 60% of members can be in any one leg.
P3 – Group… Minimum of 150 in this coded group required, with at least 2 members who are personally sponsored.
You must also have a total coded P1,P2,P3 group size,  of 200 or more.
P4 – Group… Minimum of 350 in this coded group required, with at least 1 member who is personally sponsored.
You must also have a total coded P1,P2,P3,P4 group size,  of 600 or more.
P5 – Group… Minimum of 600 in this coded group required, with at least 1 member who is personally sponsored. You must also have a total coded P1,P2,P3,P4,P5 group size,  of 1200 or more….

Then you become a P6….

If we do not receive a request from you to allocate members in “P” groups, the system will do it automatically based on the date and time your members joined uVme.

Here is our travelling uVme Associate Dan Welstead doing the V while bungee-jumping off the Macau Tower in China - the world’s highest bungee jump! His report from the field is that he thinks Speed Pool is the best uVme game yet.
