Today I passed the 4,000 member mark in my AGLOCO network. As I write this post, I am sitting at 4,044 sign ups. That’s a 433 member increase since my last update five days ago. The increase level of daily sign ups may have something to do with the pending arrival of the Viewbar - it’s expected to be available for download at the end of this month or early next month.

I am quite happy with the current growth of the network. Right now, it’s pretty much on autopilot. The direct and extended referrals have taken over. The network will keep growing even if I do nothing. That is the cool thing about the AGLOCO business model - you do the work once and you could get paid for it for the rest of your life.

The State Of AGLOCO

AGLOCO currently has about 180,000 members in the network. I found this out by getting the referral ID of the last person who signed up in my network. AGLOCO started their member drive at BBBB. They are now BBBS. Every letter represents 10,000 members. That is really amazing growth for a company that is barely two months old and haven’t release their product yet.

The AGLOCO company blog states they have over 30,000 “founding members.” A founding member is anyone who has referred another member. Let’s do the math; out of 180,000 members, only 30,000 has signed up another person. Sounds depressing doesn’t it? Not at all. This is right inline with the 80/20 rule which states 80% of all work is produced by the top 20%. It’s also good news if you’re a founding member because you don’t have that much competition, yet.

The Business Model Of The Future

AGLOCO has generated its share of good and bad press. It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you’re on. The Internet business model of the future is all about revenue sharing and empowering users. YouTube recently announced plans turn their video sharing site into a revenue sharing site which will give YouTube users a share of the ad money their videos produced.

When you think about it, this makes perfect sense. It’s the users that made YouTube what it is today, but when they were brought out by Google for $1.65 billion, it was the founders who made all the money - the users got nothing. OK, they got their videos hosted for free but look how much the founders made off those videos! $1.65 billion isn’t pocket change.

    Are you going to start your paid campaigns to recruit AGLOCO members when the viewbar is released?

    How do you know when the Viewbar is comming out? I haven’t been able to keep track of all of the agloco.com craze.

    I’ve been wondering since I’ve heard about agloco.com, how are we suposed to know if you aren’t appart of the founding team at agloco.com? You and other people with the same level of friends and are ’suspiciously’ well aware of every thing to do with agoco.com. How do we trust that you aren’t apart of this extrodinary scam?

    Hope you can answer these questions and more. Thanks for your time.

    And, Yes. I am signed up on agloco.com… the posibility of agloco.com being a valid network has lurred me in. But I am still suspicious…

    I think it is amazing that you have signed up that many members. I seriously doubt you should get any paid campaigns it would be better to just run the ads on your own blog in place of adsense.

    It’s risk management I guess. If John is quite positive there will be money to be had as a result, then he’ll get the head start to make investments. Sometimes you can’t wait for money to spend the money - you gotta spend to make it come.

    it’s a gamble and since I don’t know much about this agloco concept I won’t bother making judgments on whether he should or not.

    Yeah, and you’d think people would be interested in this since a lot of them are instantly into the “make easy money online” scheme (which isn’t possible), but when there’s an action of downloading a bar with ads, the word “spyware” pops up instantly in their minds.

    Yeah. This way it seems like once the toolbar is released the original owners will need to sing up the ownership transferring papers to John Chow and walk away:)

    I wonder if John is now the leading AGLOCO referer?? Anybody has more more signups?

    John is among the top 0.03% of all AGLOCO users, this should give a good indication where he is now. I do not believe he is the leading referrer (just yet).

    What I don’t understand is since they are issuing and distributing shares, why wouldn’t they have to register under the Investment Company Act. Clearly they are giving shares away to unaccredited investors. Are they excluded because they are GIVING shares away and not SELLING them? What am I missing here? Please enlighten me!! Thanks.

    AGLOCO is not registered in the US and are not subject to US security laws. They plan to list their shares in the London exchange.

    John, I have a new monetization idea for you. With your success of signing people up to AGLOCO from your site, you can sell an AGLOCO link in one of your updates on their service.

    Instead of your id in the link, the person buying the link would get their id for a few signups.

    Yeah that has happend to me only not quite so badly. I have 16 direct and only 9 indirect. This month John has way better proportions than us. I guess we just have to keep referring untill we referr a bigshot.

    The people you have directly recruited either lost interest or are being lazy and recruiting people themselves. Sometimes it’s about who you recruit and not how many.

    John,

    You do ramble a lot! Thank God, otherwise I’d have nothing interesting to read.

    I’m wondering, if I have friends in China that sign up, could they get paid too if they qualified according to the business model? Or are there restrictions.

    Thx

    I believe enough in this to put $2,000 of ad money to promote it. Yes I think the business model is viable. The last time around their mistake was paying more than they made. That won’t happen this time.

    How many signups do you think $2k ad money will get you? Obviously you think it’s viable over the long term, just wondering what you expect to get out of $2k as far as signups are concerned.
