7,000 AGLOCO Sign Ups

written by John Chow on March 8, 2007

Build Your Online Business Now

Today I received the 100 day report to members email from AGLOCO. Yes, It’s been 100 days already. Where has the time gone? The 100th day of AGLOCO also marks the day I went pass 7,000 AGLOCO referrals. I’m at 7,050 referrals as I write this post.

If you haven’t received the 100 day report yet, you should be getting it in the next day or two. The report states AGLOCO has over 50,000 successful recruiters, which is company spin for saying 50,000+ of you have signed up at least one other person. The report also features a link to myself and RZ McCall as places to visit for more AGLOCO information. I don’t find this too surprising since McCall and I are like the AGLOCO poster boys. The extra traffic AGLOCO is sending this blog is considerable.

Can’t Stop It Even If I Wanted To

I have built my AGLOCO network to the point where it cannot be stop even if I wanted to (which I don’t). Right now, I don’t have to do anything with it and the network will continue to grow. That is the beauty of the AGLOCO setup. I only have to do the work once and I could reap rewards from it for a long time to come. Passive income is the best type of income.

Who’s Pyramid Are You In?

I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about AGLOCO being a pyramid scheme and I just have to laugh. It is very clear to me that most people do not know the definition of a pyramid scheme. Actually, it doesn’t matter if they know or not because most are ignorant of the fact that they are already in one.

Ask the average person the street what a pyramid scheme is and the most common response you’ll get is, “The person at the top makes money off the people at the bottom, the people at the bottom makes very little and can never make more than the person at the top.”

Sounds like a very educated response, doesn’t it? If that had been your answer then my question to you would be, “Why don’t you explain to me the organizational structure of the place you work at?”

Let’s see, the guy at the top makes money off the people at the bottom – true. The people at the bottom makes very little – also true. The people at the bottom can never make more than the person at the top – true again.

Another reply people give for the definition of a pyramid scheme is you have to pay to get in. How does this relate to a job? Well, did you have to pay to get that programming job at Google or was your college education free?

Things became really clear when you can see the big picture.

If anything, AGLOCO is the complete opposite of a pyramid scheme. It’s completely free to join and you can beat the guy at the top if you want to. I beat the person who signed me up within days of joining and I have no doubt that someone in my network will beat me. That someone could be you.

Hi All - i am after some tips on recruiting

I dont have a website/blog/mailing list nothing like that - So i am asking in your oppinions the best and most effective way to recruit

You all seem intelligent peeps so let me learn?

Ok so i just jumped on the band wagon of Agloco and have 2 people in my direct - none indirect.

I need some tips on how to get people to sign up through me - soon enough there will be 5hit loads of people all fighting for sign ups and i'm already a bit late.

I dont have a mailing list/website/blog or anything like that.

You all seem pretty intelligent so lets have some tips you think will work?

Nice one all

’m going to try and the beat the person who signed me up. (Hint it’s you)

what do you think john.does agloco have enough advertisers with them.any inside news.i think the viewbar is delayed just because they are not getting enough advertisers.And i dont think it will be easy for them to do so in future as the members are growing enormously.we would like to know ur views on this .and one post on it if you have time.

does anyone know if having a link to AGLOCO violates the Adsense TOS?
I got an email from them saying my site is violating the TOS and that they can't tell me what it is exactly, but if I don't stop that I'll be dropped from Adsense.

(and if you really want to laugh...I've only made $0.93 so far!)

Can anyone lend some help/advice? Thanks!

Hi John. I just read your "Who is John Chow" page - too funny! :lol:

I found your blog while Googling Agloco, but I plan on revisiting it to read more of your posts.

I agree with your take on the whole "pyramid scheme" label. It seems like any opportunity to make extra money is slapped with that label.

Perhaps there should be a ".org" where people can get real, unbiased answers on an opportunity... Sort of like the BBB.

Just a thought.

Agloco Blog

The guys that started out in november 2006 were lucky, because the entire market was still entirely available.

I started end of January, two months to late. However, I still managed to get quite a bit of referrals.

I do a blog about Joost and i have also the Loco posts on it
http://lavender-art.blogspot.com/

but i didnt get any I say any referals :)
too bad.
:neutral:

hey guys,
have all of u been getting mails from agloco about the updates??, cause i havnt got any :sad: , john has said tht they have sent out a mail to the members now, how come i dint get it!!??

I joined in Joined just before x-mas and until Feb 18 only had 1 refferal.I posted a message in a board and the rest is history.Of course, i will not get to John but standing 88 by 310 isn't bad and the number is swelling fairly well.Oh well, am doing it from kenya,some 500 km North West of Nairobi.Agloco is that famous.

I have to disagree with you about your definition of a pyramid scheme. While your definition might be what people think of most it is slightly inaccurate. Even according to Wikipedia a pyramid scheme is: "a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service being delivered."

Does AGLOCO have a product or service? At this point no. They keep saying they do but when?

Is the point of joining AGLOCO to recruit new members? Most certainly yes.

The only thing they have not asked for is money from the members. Perhaps that will be next.

Till that happens, it only remains partially a pyramid scheme, but not quite yet.

Congrat on your 7000 members.

The Viewbar is released in March.

Jonix! Long time no see. Agloco will release the Viewbar this March...long wait for those who've been recruiting since January.

wooow, 7.050, that's a really superb number! That will for sure generate a great income. Anyone know when agloco will go out finally to the public?

Good work in your referals. Where did you get them all? Were they all from your blog? I would like to know so I can try to get some more, I only have 2 directs and 12 indirect referals.

Thanks.

Awesome post relating the concept of "pyramids". Kudos to you my friend. :wink:

I'm going to try and the beat the person who signed me up. (Hint it's you)

Almost :mrgreen:

I wanted to post a picture of my network numbers too:
AglocoNews.com numbers 2007-03-09

But some of your revenue will always pass to John so he still wins :twisted:

interesting point John

Wow, 7000 in your network! That's awesome. How much money have you made from it so far? :shock:

Zero. But then again, it hasn't started. We're in the pre-launch stage.

JOHN, your comment on pyramid setups is fundamentally flawed. YOU seem the uneducated one in this situation. OF COURSE all business models are setup as pyramid, otherwise where is the leadership and the workforce. The thing you fail to see in your self-righteous little world, is that a pyramid "scheme" requires a continuous stream of new members (or new lemmings to add to the bottom of the pyramid). Once that inflow of bottom dwellers stops, so does the company. Does that apply to a corporate environment? If I stop hiring employees because I have a sufficient workforce for my current and projected contracts, will my company stop making money? Look out the window into the real world JOHN!

I guess "retiring" employees don't need to be replaced huh? You think too small. Increase the work force to Walmart level and lets see if the company can operate with a constant inflow of new lemmings.

To answer your question, the answer is yes, what you say does apply to the corporate environment. Just ask the VP of Human Resources at any fortune 500 company.

I think i understand what Will means and I agree with his point that
"... a pyramid “scheme” requires a continuous stream of new members (or new lemmings to add to the bottom of the pyramid)"
but this is valid for pyramids which need new members to bring in cash (or whatever) in order to operate (ie. pass it up to more senior member).
Imho not the case of AGLOCO! AGLCO does not need the money from new contiunous stream of members neither it needs any new members to operate (of course since greed is good they will try to sign up everyone:)) because their income will be (so they promise) derived from advertisers.

"AGLCO does not need the money from new contiunous stream of members"

No its the network builders that need that, assuming Agloco can retain users they could quite happily plod along.

The question is whether they can retain the lemmings at the bottom with the scraps from the table.

If the bottom lemmings leave, then the corpral lemming is living on scraps, if corporal lemming leaves then sergant is on scraps and so the network could just collapse from the bottom up.

Ok John,
You have another. I'm number BBCJ9302
jon

I'd be very interested once the viewbar is released to see how fast John's numbers will climb. It will be a lot easier to refer people once there is actually a product out there.

I agree.. What we have seen so far is all hype. What we need and want are the real action and fun to start!

Ill be interested to see if the viewbar can be sniffed / blocked.

HTMK steve has already pointed out that these viewbars will take advertising revenue away from websites / blogs so its not good news for bloggers

Cool job John - as you say all you can do is to post a note on your blog once in a while and simply hope more new readers who have not yet heard about AGLOCO jump in !

That's insane John, your nuts... AND EVIL! :idea:

With that many indirects you've got not choice but to grow the network... you couldn't pay people to stop. :lol:

I wish I had referrals like John does. My guys are so lazy. I've got twice as many direct referrals as I do extended. I can't figure it out.

Thats just the same as me, its luck of the draw I guess, but it does have something to do with the fact that John gives advice on his blog about how to get referrals, which presumuably his referrals make good use of.

This is one of the great lessons one can learn from programs like this. Some may know I have written posts that I'm not an AGLOCO enthusiast. I've even written posts that disagree with the sign up craze and John has responded to state his viewpoint.

Know what? I never called him names, demeaned him personally and he has always been a gentleman in his responses to me.

I read John every day and have learned a _bunch_ from him already, regardless of our opposing AGLOCO positions.

When you sign people up and they become "Your Guys", in any membership oriented venture one hopes that at least part of your reason is to help, enthuse and guide them to make money and be happy with the choices they made.

You might logically assume the at least some of "Your Guys" read this blog, since they signed up and it's a bit of a hot bed for discussion. So tell me how you think one of "Your Guys" would feel when they see you telling the world how "Lazy" they are? Think they will be inspired to work the program harder and gain more sign ups for themselves and others?

In the military when "the guys" don't perform the commander gets fired. When speaking publicly about "your guys" it might be valuable to reflect upon how your words sound to those you are depending upon to help you move forward.

Just a leadership thought, feel free to disregard or disagree.

Congrats John.

One think I don't understand though - so pyramid scheme is not a pyramid scheme if it does not cost any money to join? What about payments in form of information ie. you browsing habbits, sites visited, ads clicked etc? Isn't information a valuable commodity these days?

I also think that pyramid scheme as such would be immoral and/or illegal if it was not possible for every participant to make his profits (eg. "infinite pyramid").
Since AGLOCO promises to somehow pay everyone who joins up (and uses their Viewbar) technically, imho, everything is ok. But, as there is no firm proof as yet, the crucial word here is "promises".

Dan

Well, that depends how much this kind of personnel information people place their value on. I don't see no harm in letting others know what I like, or where I go online. It is not as if you are giving away more private information like your passwords etc.

AGLOCO has not talked anything about selling 'personnel information' as yet.

You're going to make hell of a lot from this if Agloco all goes to plan.

I'm at 27 I think and I expect most of those wont use it / forget about it so I hardly see myself making anything worthwhile out of it :sad:

Bring on agloco 2 so I can join from the start! :twisted:

Wow 700! Like the reviews that you are receiving daily, it is a endless flow that can't stop. *amazed. :shock:

Very impressive viral marketing. You're the man with a lot of opportunity with those AGloCo members. Two thumb up from

Yup if it does work john will be even more loaded :razz:

I think "colleague education fee" should be *college*

:twisted:

That was the French way. :mrgreen:

Can't type today.

That should be Scan of Check. lol
