For those of you who haven’t been to my blog before, I wanted to make another post about AGLOCO - A Global Community. At first glance, many of you might be thinking something along the lines such as “What in the world is AGLOCO?” or for some of you may have already heard about it, researched it, and signed up yourselves. For those of you who haven’t heard about what AGLOCO is, I will further elaborate.

What is AGLOCO?

AGLOCO pre-launched on December 3, 2006 and is a community built by its users, which would be considered an economic network. The active members of the AGLOCO network are paid for their time surfing the internet with something called the viewbar. The AGLOCO company has a goal to get 10,000,000 members by July 1, 2007. At first you might think AGLOCO is a scam, but it isn’t.
What is the viewbar? Is it bad for my computer?

The viewbar is a harmless program that you will download and install onto your computer (not currently available), which is set to launch in March sometime. There is no specific date as to when the viewbar will be available to AGLOCO members. The viewbar, once installed, will be a small toolbar that will be located at the bottom of your screen. Based on the websites you recently search and surf, the viewbar will keep track of that information to further improve your online experience. How does it do this? It will have text ads with a small preview of the picture located on the viewbar relating to your interests.

A lot of people may be wondering if the viewbar is a form of spyware or adware. In no way, shape, or form is the viewbar harmful to use. All user settings and information will be kept confidential and secure. You can even turn off the viewbar at anytime you wish, but your hours for surfing the internet will not be accounted for. If you wish to find out more about the viewbar and privacy, check out the member privacy section on the AGLOCO website.

How do I make money?

Making money couldn’t be made any more simple. You download and install the viewbar. Then, you surf the internet for a maximum of 5 hours per month. You will then be paid based on the hours you used the viewbar for. To increase your earnings you’ll need to expand your own personal network. The number of direct referrals are the people you get to directly sign up through your referral link. An example of a referral link is as shown www.agloco.com/r/BBBK2671. Your network should then start to grow slowly, but steadily. Your direct referrals should then be making an effort to get their own direct referrals, which then will be converted to indirect referrals for yourself.

You also need to keep in mind that in the business world there’s a rule called the 80/20 rule. This means that 80% of the members won’t do anything once they sign up, but 20% of the members will actively be involved in the bulk of building the AGLOCO community. This 20% of the people will be rewarded with money and shares of the AGLOCO company. Afterall, we are the people who are building this company from the ground up.

Other things to notice:

I would not be preaching AGLOCO to my readers unless I really believed in the business model behind it. Here are some numbers to prove that it’s not just me backing the AGLOCO community. As of today (February 12, 2007) the search term “AGLOCO” in google produced over 1,470,000 results. Bill Gates (Microsoft) has made statements about AGLOCO backing it up. Chad Hurley (Co-Founder of YouTube) is backing AGLOCO with a business model to pay YouTube users a share of their profits and revenue for the content and their role for building YouTube into what it is today. The Simmons Report has already given the financial analysis for AGLOCO. Top members have passed the 1,000 direct referral mark and 20,000 total in their networks.
Note: AGLOCO was created to benefit you, the internet surfer. We are the ones who have made the internet what it is today and are finally being rewarded for it. Keep in mind that the members are the owners.

Current Stats:
Direct Referrals: 2
Indirect Referrals: 0

I came across another web-service through the blog of John Chow. Many of you may be wondering how exaclty AGLOCO came about. AGLOCO has, I believe, 2 members from their AllAdvantage era. AllAdvantage was launched on March 31, 1999 and grew to more than 10 million members in their first 18 months of operation. It was the first company of it’s kind, pay it’s users to surf the net with a ‘viewbar’ that the user could dock at the bottom of their screen. Unfortunately, AllAdvantage came to an end during the dot com bubble burst and a sharp decline in advertising spending from companies. Until the closing of AllAdvantage, the company paid out over $120 million to it’s members.

Here are my two cents about AGLOCO:
Join up while it’s young and get your network growing.
There is not going to be another .com bust and advertising is expected to be a $1+ billion market in 2007.
You have absolutely nothing to lose, no obligations, and a lot to gain if you play your cards right.

As this is one of the few Internet entities that is owned by its Members, the AGLOCO community will be a very vibrate one. (Not one where “you” comment and “we” do – but rather one where everyone comments and builds together.

With that in mind, we decided to tell Members our internal range for release of the Viewbar software – we expect to be able to release the first phase of the Viewbar in 7 to 10 weeks. There are many reasons why the release of the viewbar has to be managed carefully, server planning, partnerships and operating systems are just three examples of why the process is long. we shall also keep updating the website and making it better for our Members to refer others.

A decision also has to be made as to whether we should release the Viewbar for all platforms simultaneously or to release in phases.

There are two main reasons why Members need to grow AGLOCO.

1. The larger the AGLOCO network is the more money AGLOCO can make per Member (that means each Member becomes more valuable the bigger the network is – this is what is called the ‘network effect’ by economists)

2. The more people that are in your personal referrals, the more significant your personal earnings will be. For every 5 referrals – direct or extended - you double your Member income.

First, we want to announce one of our goals and then get to an update on progress.

We have previously stated that in order to be an effective economic network AGLOCO needs to be big. Therefore we established our first Membership goal: 10,000,000 Members by July 1, 2007

We know this is an ambitious goal. But, we also know the power of an Internet based network. We know that 20% of AGLOCO Members will do the bulk of the building of the network and we designed the referral system to reward them for their efforts. For every five new Members you recruit (direct or extended) you should double your AGLOCO Member income.

To help this process we have begun our Member outreach program – starting with some Member update email we started sending today and will continue sending next week.

Many Members have asked how they can help – the best way to help your company is to grow the Member base.

Some updates:

• We will be announcing our target date for Viewbar release – this will be on Saturday.

• We have made improvements to our website/system (some in response to Member input which we greatly appreciate and encourage all Members to keep an eye on things AGLOCO can improve.)

• At sign up new Members are now prompted immediately to change to a new ‘personal’ password – making it easier to keep track of.

• We have cleared our bounced emails with hotmail (at least as of now- we noted blog site wordpress.com does not allow hotmail members due to this problem – we plan to work with hotmail to keep that address available to AGLOCO Members).
• We changed the % rank to include just referring Members which allows Members building the network to get a more accurate picture of their efforts.

We have been approached by lots of potential partners from search companies, ad networks, and user generated content communities. All wanting to have AGLOCO’s economic network help them.

Our plan from the outset was to:
1. Establish a demand for Membership in an economic community (we have done this with tens of thousands of new Members.)
2. Release the Viewbar to the established and growing Membership
3. Continue to sign up economic partners for AGLOCO’s growing network

The plan is to continue to (1) aggressively grow the Membership network, (2) to release the Viewbar and continuously add features to it that Members want and (3) to start with basic income and grow the number and size of the economic partners so that the AGLOCO network becomes one of the most powerful economic forces on the Internet.
