What is uVme?

What is uVme?
As a full time internet marketer I spend the large part of
my working day trawling through the web looking for new
business opportunities and ways to promote them. I'm sure
you are already aware that there is an awful lot of rubbish
splattered across the internet and it takes a lot of time
and research to sift out the genuine quality business
programs available.

There has been one name that has repeatedly cropped up on
my travels ' uVme. So, what's uVme? I just had to find
out because even the name intrigued me. I couldn't help
but notice that there were affiliates everywhere promoting
this business, so I just had to take a closer look. Having
clicked on one of these affiliate links I was still no
closer to finding out what the uVme business was all about.
The affiliate page I landed on was nothing more that a
data capture page displaying the bold statement, 'It's YOUR
turn to get a piece of the action... position yourself in
front of the three fastest-growing business trends in
history!' Still being none the wiser as to what uVme
entailed, I had little choice but to fill in my details to
gain access to this business. I thought this was a very
clever marketing ploy by this company not to actually give
anything away about the product until they had your details.

The first thing I discovered was exactly what uVme stood
for. I feel like an idiot that I didn't spot it
immediately because it seems so obvious now, but uVme
stands for 'You Versus Me'. And when I tell you that the
uVme product launching in January 2008 is an online skill
games business, you are probably now saying "what a
brilliantly apt name!" Well I am anyway.

So the uVme business is based around the playing of online
skill games which frankly meant little to me since I have
literally never played any online game, let alone one of
these skill games. I preceded to download the 'Insiders'
Report' from the uVme members area, which I now had access
to, and I was frankly stunned to read about the size of
this skill games market.

The skill gaming market is currently growing four times
faster than the rate of overall internet growth. Today
(2007), the online games industry is worth more than $5.2
billion USD annually which equates to a $164 USD each and
every second. This sum is spent by individuals around the
world enjoying simple, yet highly addictive, online skill
games. Industry experts are predicting that within just
three years this per second skill gaming spend will
increase to $412 USD. Having ascertained the astonishing
size of this market, I felt it prudent to see what sort of
competition uVme has in this marketplace. Yes, you could
argue that the competition is stiff. I came across some of
the big players, notably King.com, Pogo.com and
Bigfishgames.com. These are all very highly ranked
websites with huge traffic. To give you an example of this
level of traffic, in January 2007 King.com had 80 million
games played on its site in just this one month! I was not
disheartened to hear of this level of competition to uVme
for a number of reasons. I quickly checked to see what
sort of fully fledged business opportunities these
companies offered. Most of them offered absolutely nothing
at all and some a very basic affiliate program.

uVme, on the other hand plans to offer a top end network
marketing program. I then realized that the company behind
uVme was by no means a new entrant to either network
marketing or the online games arena. Virtual World Direct
(VWD), the creators of uVme, has been operating a very
successful multi-level marketing business for more than
five years from their North Wales offices in the UK. In
April 2002, VWD launched the e-Lottery syndicate system.
This program gives participants a hugely increased chance
of winning the UK National Lotto and the European Lottery,
Euro Millions. In just five years, utilizing their network
marketing plan, VWD affiliates have recruited more than
175,000 members from 133 countries around the world.

In addition to the online skill games and the network
marketing package, uVme also plans to embrace one of the
other real boom sectors on the web today. uVme will use
the social networking model to help spread the uVme name
around the world. Each associate/affiliate will have at
their disposal the unique uVme instant messenger which will
let you add all your friends and contacts from Windows Live
Messenger, Google Talk, AIM and Yahoo! Messenger. This
will allow you to challenge your contacts to one of the
many games and instantly begin generating commissions. The
instant messenger will also notify you the second a visitor
lands on you games website giving you the opportunity to
assist the visitor with any queries they may have. Most of
uVme's competitors also have instant messengers as part of
their gaming platforms but none of them have anywhere near
the level of features offered by uVme.

Another facet of the uVme set up that impressed me is the
high level of customer and associate support they have
planned. From their customer support centre in North
Wales, uVme will offer multi-lingual telephone and e-mail
support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This level of
service is most definitely a rarity in this industry. Most
of uVme's major competitors offer nothing more than an
email ticket support service which means that you generally
won't get a reply to your query for 12-24 hours.

As I've already mentioned, to get access to all this
information about uVme I had to enter my name and email
address into a uVme data capture web page. What I had
inadvertently done was to pre-register for the 21 January
2008 official launch. I was now in some associates down
line. What uVme is doing on the run up to the launch is to
allow you to start building a pre-launch business for free
in readiness for the games and the pay plan going live.
What a fantastic idea this was. From a company perspective
this helps to bring in a whole batch of pre-qualified
individuals for when the product launches. And from the
associate stand point it offers you the chance to create
huge momentum which will inevitably lead to a more
substantial pay cheque when the business comes to market.

uVme appears to have put together a top quality product and
support package in a market that is right at the start of
its next major growth phase. I guess you never really know
how a business is going to perform until it launches and
money starts changing hands but from what I have learned
about uVme so far makes me think that this is definitely an
opportunity worth considering.
