6,000 AGLOCO Sign Ups
written by John Chow
I was having so much fun guest blogging that I completely forgot to check my AGLOCO stats. It’s a good thing I finally remember to look because I passed another milestone today: 6,000 AGLOCO referrals.
This meets my stated goal of having 5,000 to 7,500 total referrals by Viewbar release time, which is coming up real soon. My hopes for AGLOCO to delay the Viewbar longer isn’t going to happen so I’ll just have to make do with what I got. I was hoping to refer 1,000 to the front line but 625 is not too bad.
Why I’m Doing AGLOCO
My experience with AGLOCO comes from AllAdvantage. I’m not sure if you were around the first time, but AllAdvantage was the first AGLOCO. Created during the first dot com boom, AllAdvantage raised over $100 million in venture capital and it basically paid all of it to the members who ran the Viewbar. I think that was the first time in corporate history when the venture capitalists lost and the little guy (Viewbar users) won. AllAdvantage went down with the Dot Com crash. However, while it was up, I made over $25,000 from it.
Do I believe in AGLOCO? Yes I do. I’ve been there before. I made money from it. People in my network made money from it. Did we get rich? No we didn’t. But we made money for doing something we were already doing. Even though the average member made $5 to $10 per month, that is still pure profit because this doesn’t cost anything.
The beauty of AGLOCO is the average member can’t lose. Unless you spend less than 5 hours a month on the Internet, you are not making any extra time commitment and it doesn’t cost you anything. If you never sign up anyone and just surf your five hours each month, the worst thing that can happen is you make money.
Look at it this way. You can sit by the sideline and do nothing, and gain nothing. You can join AGLOCO, just run the Viewbar, and not promote it. Still won’t cost you anything and you’ll make a few bucks. You can take a chance and promote it, built a network, maybe luck out and sign up some guy like me who runs with it (McCall signed up just 110 people but those people went to sign up 17,000 more).
If AGLOCO fails, what have you lost in terms of time or money? If it hits big, what have you lost by standing on the sideline? AllAdvantage failed, but I still made $25,000 in the process. AGLOCO may fail or AGLOCO maybe the next YouTube. I don’t know. All I do know is the risk to reward ratio is so great, I can’t pass it up and neither should you.

Thanks for the update John. I too am in Agloco, but with a shy 16 referrals. Mind commenting on how long you were with AllAdvantage and what your stats were with them? Because $25,000 is a lot to make for just surfing the web!
Thanks. I’ll check back tomorrow night(busy all day tomorrow).
I had over 10,000 referrals and was increasing by over 100 per day.
Congrats on passing the 6k mark! I am currently at 41 total referrals and personally can’t wait til the Viewbar is released. I think it will help some with recruiting some of the ’stubborn’ potentials out there
I’ve had a similar experience in that many of the people I have talked to want to wait and see how things are going once the Viewbar is released.
I’ve only got a few people in my network and none of them have signed anyone up. At this point, I just want to see the Viewbar released so we can get started with it.
[...] John Chow made $25,000 with All Advantage for surfing the internet! That same company is now Agloco. [...]
When the Viewbar comes out, you can bet I’ll be posting about it.
Hey John congratulations.. Arn’t U like to Use my Agloco Reffer Link In Your post for a week & Help this poor guy to build the Network…
Definitely congrats on the 6,000. Can’t say as though I am a big believer in the program but I enjoy seeing your updates.
I signed up under you then I forgot my login and password.
I’m pretty sure they have a lost password feature.
yours numbers are amazing. But honestly I dont find anything that tempts me to join AGLOCO
And John how was your experince with author switching
Ajith, you aren’t tempted by money?
Maybe he/she’s just skeptical about it haha
This just in…I’ve signed up 0 people to AGLOCO, probably because most of my friends think it’s all a scam. Sign up if you feel sorry for me.
I’ve signed up 70 in a month and a half by running an adwords campaine. Also found a new list builder to email to.
In general, those easy making money programs are mostly spam, not all ofcourse. I have seen one pay as you surf but didn’t continue with it.
I will have to see how this one goes. Most importantly, they have to support Firefox.
Awesome!! 6000 signup all based on a too-be-announced project. But aren’t you celebrating all too early on a rumor for something thats barely been revealed. Without taking offense you seem to sound like those iPod chain letter/email salesman.
I am sure my name is also somewhere within the sign ups to have taken the bait on AGOLOCO, but refrain on the marketing until I have personally tried the toolbar, thats just me, I guess you are different. Whats your take on the spyware angle / monitoring of websites that will go on when you surf with the toolbar?
I talked to the founder about that. There is absolutely no spyware in the Viewbar. I’ve also had Ray Everett-Church made a comment on this issue: http://www.johnchow.com/comment-from-ray-everett-church/
ALGOCO !
nah not at all tempting, even the industry bgi player are staying away from it.
Don’t know why John is so much attached with it.
I think its not intellegence to stumble upon same stone twice.
You do whatever the “big players” tell you to do?
PS. John didn’t stumble upon a stone, he stumbled upon $25,000. That’s something I wouldn’t mind stumbling on twice.
but everyone CANNOT BE John Chow !
out of thousands of people who lost their time, money energy ONLY FEW got paid and company went bankrupt.
Thats why I meant by stumbling on stone twice.
I’m still waiting for an ex-Alladvantage person to come forward and tell me they lost money on it.
I had a network of over 10,000. If only a few got paid as you claimed, then for sure, there’ll be screaming in my network about it since not everyone was like me.
But not one complaint. Hmmmmm.
Sorry missed ur first one…
No we ATLEAST listen big players, thats why we come and read even John Chow’s blog.
And if majority of them DISCARDS/REJECTS/DISAPPROVES something then definitely its always better not to bet upon it.
But if you are one of them, who learns from their own MISTAKE, then there is nothing I have say. Have a nice EXPERIENCE !
You’re going to be shock at how many “Big players” are in this.
It’s one thing to take a “big player’s” opinion and using it as a springboard for your own research, but it’s something entirely different to follow it blindly and accept it as truth.
Now, I definitely must join and actively involve in Agloco….I hope I’m not too late yet…
Congratulations John! I truly believe you will be one of the very few people to make decent money through AGLOCO!
I’m still stuck at 0 referrals…maybe because I haven’t joined and I keep blogging about how much I dislike AGLOCO! Haha!
Have a great day!

Congratulation for the first Viewbar exclusive video, Kumiko. I bet your traffic will reach the stratosphere again.
My referrals are John’s referrals. That must be nice.
My referrals are John’s as well, in a sense.
It would have been awesome if I was the person to refer John to AGLOCO and not the other way around :p
Really good !!
congratulation…
I’m not in Agloco too. Joining something before seeing it in action is really scary….
however I might change my mind after reading your post john…thks for the insight..
Lily
I wouldn’t call it scary, rather a little risky if you spend as much time as John is instead of focusing on long term projects.

Time? I wrote 16 posts about it. I say the total time commitment so far has been 16 hours and that’s being really generous. These posts don’t take an hour to do.
16 hours for 6,000+ referrals. Not a bad return.
I wouldn’t say that it’s scary, but if you wait too long, you will have a harder time building your network. After all, by that time, everyone will already have an account (whether it’s active or not is another matter).
Well there’s nothing to lose and a lot to gain so, Why not?
But one would need to have tons of referrals to earn some decent cash.
[...] I was talking to a friend about AGLOCO after reading John Chow’s latest posting on his numbers on AGLOCO. With ‘the worst thing that can happen is you make money’ [...]
Remember that even if the average Joe has maybe 0 to 2 referrals, they still will appreciate making a small amount of money each month for doing nothing but turning on a Viewbar that does not disrupt their Internet experience.
Don’t forget, we who religiously worship the likes of John Chow, Robert Scoble and other Net thundercrackers are in a teeny minority all over the world. Most people are grateful they learned just how to use email, and maybe perform a basic Google search. They don’t intend to make a career out of online moneymaking. For them, the concept of getting a little money just for signing up for AGLOCO is pretty nice - and it’s going to be the source of a lot of money for those of us who seek them out.
John…still hoping you’ll respond to the first comment I left you. Thanks.
What comment? Where?
Pat on the back for still having zero.
I’m right there with you!
Thanks for the update John. Kumiko’s [one of the commentors above] post on Agloco was an interesting piece that may make many people stay away from Agloco.
I have to login and see how many referrals I have. I signed up under you around the first days you started, btw.
Very nice John, I’m still stuck on 0 referrers as well - sadly - I’m receiving a lot of cynicism around here, no one seems to believe you can make money blogging, and even less about making money surfing. But ah well
It’s indeed a great number! but let’s see if agloco will not be another “fiasco” like it’s “old brother” was.
For people that don’t know who was the old brohter of agloco, the “old brother” was AllAdvantage, and only “half a dozen” people won very good money with it. The others only made 2 or 3 bucks.
I’ve got about 24 referrals. I bet less than 5 will install it so I don’t think I’ll be making much!
(ref) on the other hand is making me more money than AdBrite on my site haha.
hmm, tried using the code from below the post and it doesn’t seem to work?
Nevermind, it’s SlashMySearch and the link still work if you wanna sign up
hey john,
ive been doing alright myself
http://internetbusinessdaily.net/agloco-update-part-3/
300 signups with only 10 direct referrals:)
someone is really helping me out
Wow, 6k refferals. That isn’t bad at all
Some multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. However, others are illegal pyramid schemes. In pyramids, commissions are based on the number of distributors recruited.
