A new feature has been added to the uVme.biz website “back office”. You can now easily find your directly sponsored Associates’ usernames, so that you know how to search for them on uVme.com and challenge them to games!

Just log in to uVme.biz, then press “Genealogy” followed by “Directly Sponsored”. You will see your list of directly sponsored Associates, now including their uVme.com usernames!

Once you have found the person you wish to challenge, go over to uVme.com, log in, press the game you want to play, then type that person’s username into the “Find Opponent” search box at the bottom of the page. If you tick the “Exact match” box, it will only find you that exact username and not similar names. You then pick the amount to wager against them from the drop-down list next to their username, click “Challenge”, and VOILÀ!

If you would like to download the slides that Fred Burgess and Doug Galli use in their uVme Business Opportunity presentations (the ones Eric Avery refers to as the blue “touchy-feely” slides, as opposed to the black “facts-and-figures” slides), just go to:

The other set of slides will be available to download soon, too… watch this space!

To become a P2, you need to be “Active” and to personally sponsor two Associates; and you need to have 12 Associates in your team overall, with no more than 60% of them in one “leg” of your business (two of these 12 Associates can be the two you personally sponsored). That sounds complicated, but if you just concentrate on personally sponsoring two Associates, and if you teach those two your sponsoring process well, then your business will continue to grow.

Sponsoring two Associates sounds do-able!

That’s right, especially when you think about the many different ways you have to share the business with people who are interested in it. There are complicated ways to do this that take lots of time, but if you’d rather do it quickly and easily, then you can do things such as:

1. Show people the uVme “Movie”;

2. Download the presentation slides that are available – two sets:

blue:    http://www.vwdclub.com/uvmepowerpoint/uVme-biz-opp-ppt.ppt

black:    request from admin@uVme.com

3. Use Tom “Big Al” Schreiter’s “One-Minute Presentation” – a summary of this can be downloaded here.

Think back to how your sponsor introduced YOU to the business. If you can’t do it the same way, then they did something wrong. Sponsors should be teaching their new Associates how to get Active, how to play games, and how to duplicate what they have shown you easily when you sponsor your own Associates. Go back and get help from your sponsor, or someone else in your “upline” who can assist you.

When you do sponsor a new Associate, teach them what you know in a way that allows them to go and teach others in the same way. Then you can watch your business grow!

What’s so great about being a P2?

From the moment that you become a P2, every single Associate who joins your business, whether personally sponsored or not, earns you £20/$40/€25 in the form of the “New Business Bonus” (NBB) – as soon as they either qualify as Active, or get flagged as a “Fast Starter”. And that NBB is paid into your e-wallet on a DAILY BASIS.

Have a look at the BBC news story “Casual games make serious profits” if you are in any doubt about what a huge market uVme is part of!

It cites the casual games market as being worth $2.25 billion last year, and growing phenomenally. The page includes a link to the accompanying TV show, “Click”, which claims games make more money than films! Move the media player time slider forward to 14:18 to watch the news about casual games.

Please pass this information on to the members of your Associate team and your players, so that everyone can plan ahead. The maintenance schedule for the next two months is as follows:

4am-6am BST, Tuesday, July 29, 2008
4am-6am BST, Tuesday, August 12, 2008

“uVme opportunities are so great, like ocean space. Business with uVme is so wonderful, like this sunny day. The daily work with uVme is so pleasant, like this nice and wonderful see breeze. Let’s feel together what I feel with uVme.” —Sanya Sim, Russia

It’s here! uVme’s brand new game, which some think is better even than Fruit Frenzy! Those of us who have been lucky enough to test the game can’t stop playing it… give it a try now on www.uVme.com!

Two Blob Factory tournaments have also been launched - one which will last 7 days, and one which will last 24 hours! Get in there now while nobody else has any more practice than you! (Hint: Don’t play against any members of the uVme Support Team or Tom Brodie.)

Don’t miss the breaking news revealed in last night’s web conference, such as the announcement that uVme’s new game, Blob Factory, will be released today! There will be two different tournaments running on Blob Factory, as well as one-on-one games.

Tom Brodie also announced that our new payment system has given us the confidence to pay bonuses DAILY rather than monthly from now on - so that as soon as you qualify for Fast Start Bonus, Group Fast Start, or the New Business Bonus, it will be paid into your e-wallet within 24 hours! This is really unheard of in this industry, and great news for everyone. Commission for the first “new” plan run will be posted to your e-wallet within the next few days, after being thoroughly checked for accuracy.

Eric Avery shared some Associates’ stories about how they did so well in this commission run - listen to the conference if you would like to hear some great tips! If you have some of your own you’d like to share, or if you’d like a copy of conference slides (two sets available), please email admin@uVme.com.

You can download the recorded conference by clicking here. If you have not listened to one of our conferences before, you will be asked to download the conference software first. This only takes a few minutes.

As we near the end of this Business Cycle, please be aware that any PPV your players have generated in tournaments which are finishing AFTER the cycle ends on Sunday, 20th July will NOT count toward your Active Status this cycle, but WILL count toward your Active Status for NEXT cycle.

PPV generated in all tournaments is not posted to reports until that tournament has closed.

The current Business Cycle ends on Sunday (July 20, 2008), so make sure you are “Active” by then to qualify for your commission and bonuses!

Just as a reminder, Active Status currently requires 20 “units” (£ pounds, $ dollars or € Euros) in PPV, and as of next cycle (which starts on Monday, 21st July) this will go up to 30 units as scheduled in the “phased approach” plan mentioned in previous Pioneers’ web conferences and other reports.

Please pass this information on to the members of your team!

Those of you who love a bit of darts action will be thrilled to know that uVme’s Jumper Darts game has been updated with a new, easier-to-see power indicator!

And better yet, you can now enter a Jumper Darts tournament with an estimated jackpot of £250! Of course, the final jackpot may be even bigger… it depends on how many people enter. The jackpot will be split between the top 25% of players based on their highest tournament score - and the closer you are to the top, the bigger your portion of the pot will be!

What makes this tournament different to the other progressive tournaments on uVme so far is that this one is going to actually consist of three different tournaments running at the same time, for three different skill levels! So, based on your previous scores on Jumper Darts, you will be placed into a beginner’s, intermediate, or advanced level tournament. This gives everyone a better chance at a prize because you will be playing against people of similar ability to your own.

Go on, even if you’ve never tried it before, challenge your mates to enter as well… and see which group you end up in! PLAY NOW…

Independent Associate Jonathan Hart, from Queensland, Australia, is promoting uVme through his breakfast radio show! He has added a link to uVme from the radio station’s website, and is running a competition offering a prize to the first person who beats him at a uVme game within three tries. He says he has been doing this for the past month, and nobody has managed to beat him so far! Well done, Jono!
