UPDATE: August 2, 2016 TSU CLOSED
What's all the talk about?
You'll find that Tsu is very similar to Facebook. People share content, tell stories, and post pictures. Tsu is also very different from Facebook. Tsu shares its advertising revenue with its members. Yes, you heard me right. Tsu offers a revenue sharing program that is similar to the revenue sharing model used on YouTube.
While I think it's pretty cool that Tsu pays its users to post content, there's something that I find even cooler. From the beginning, Tsu has provided spam reporting tools to its members. Members are encouraged to report spammers because Tsu and the Tsu Community want a place that is filled with content that is unique, useful, and updated.
That's right! At Tsu, it's all about quality content and engaging readers. And in less than 2 weeks, I'm pleased with my personal results. Yes, I have a few dimes in my Tsu Bank. But more important, I have seen a significant increase in traffic to my blogs, have met some incredibly talented individuals, and people I've met at Tsu are now following me on Google+ and Pinterest.
Yes, I am having a great time, meeting new people, and regaining the enthusiasm I lost after the demise of Squidoo.
I make no guarantees about the future of Tsu. There are no guarantees on the Internet. What I do know is that their business plan is solid, they have adequate funding to finance their growth, and they are tough on spam.
Tsu isn't without its growing pains. Every evening I can expect the platform to shutdown for maintenance and during the day I may have the occasional problem posting. But these things are expected on a new site that is experiencing rapid growth. What I can say, the Tsu technical staff is dedicated to delivering a site that users will enjoy.
If you'd like to give Tsu a try, you'll need an invitation. And here is my invitation to you. Please join me on Tsu. It's a community that is fighting for a spam-free Internet, taking back control of their content, and filled with creative people.

Thank you for reviewing this new social media community Coletta! It does sound like you are having a fabulous time there and that it is helping grow your business, which is awesome. I have yet to join simply because I haven't taken to time to jump right in there. I am saving your invitation for a day where I can just sit back and enjoy the fun of getting to know a new site, and hopefully meet some new friends too.
ReplyDeleteFinding the time can be difficult. I agree with you on that one, Cynthia! But, I had to make some changes in my social media strategy because the old ones weren't working. Plus, this was a good way for me to stretch my wings and get out of my Squidoo shell. Yes, save Tsu for when you can sit back and enjoy.
DeleteI jumped aboard Tsu a few days ago and delighted to say I am already gaining activity on my articles at Wizzley, and yes, a few pennies already too!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool, Ruthi! I'm glad your Wizzley articles are seeing some new traffic. I've gained some new blog followers and I'm pleased.
DeleteWith anything new on the 'net' it's always good to have a review from someone who has already tried it out. Thanks for the overview, Coletta.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, Elf! I joined because of a friend. I trusted his judgement and jumped right in!
DeleteColetta, thanks for the review on this, it sounds very good! - It's great to read reviews from people I know about these platforms! If I decide to take the leap into another platform I'll certainly use your invite!
