8,000 AGLOCO Sign Ups

written by John Chow on March 15, 2007

How one lazy bum made $176,697.50

Just seven days after posting about getting 7,000 AGLOCO Sign Ups, I have passed the 8,000 sign up mark. This is a 40% increase in sign up rate. I was averaging 100 new sign ups per day, but now I’m up to 140 per day. I expect to keep increasing the sign up rate as we get closer to the release of the Viewbar.

What I Did To Go From 7,000 To 8,000

Except for making a blog update at 7,000 sign ups, I did absolutely nothing! This is the beauty of system like AGLOCO. My network has grown beyond me. I cannot stop it even if I wanted to. I don’t have to do anything and the network is growing at a faster rate now than when I was “working it.” I can only imagine how much faster the network will grow once the Viewbar become available for download.

I stated in a past update that I was going to create a PPC landing page and spend $2,000 on promotions to sign up more people. I no longer feel a need for that. I have exceeded my goal for having 5,500 to 7,500 sign ups by Viewbar release time. I am now on cruise control. I’m just going to sit back and relax because my work is done!

I see your now at 9,000 signups! Great work!!

Jeff - http://wallpapers.jeffreymunro.com

Hey! saw your site from Top Guns. I'm pretty excited that the days is comming near. Great stats by the way. I was a late bloomer started in late Feb but mine are nothing come paired to yours. How did you get so many??? When you first started How long did it take for your extended referrals to pass up your directs? Well Come check out my site and maybe we can share some tips.

I don't believe in Agloco. They keep delaying the viewbar, it will be the biggest scam ever!!
Lots of people will be so angry muhahaha >:)

what a great figure john congrats

Man, your good, 8000 signups....

My Direct-to-Extended ratio is now 1-6. Direct 229 and Extended 1459, so all my hard work in the beginning stages, is really starting to pay back :grin:

Congratulations John.

You should be the number 1 in AGLOCO. Go on promting Agloco.

quick question..... I have about 60 direct refs and only 4 extended refs.. How long till i start getting more extended refs?...and i started this on Feb 24th

Hey Matt, I started on Feb 1st and didn't see any extended referrals for about a month. I'm currently at 484 direct and 260 extended... but my extended network is starting to grow faster and faster.

John is lucky because his readership is the kind of people who not only sign up but also go and get lots more.

Keep on keeping on. Soon, you'll find someone like me who goes crazy and makes your extended network grow like crazy. It only takes a few but it is a numbers game.

Congrat John. You are growth very fast.

I left a comment here earlier but it's not showing. I'm wondering if comments are being moderated? Anyway, I just wrote to congratulate you on your network growth. Awesome!

Amazing! Congrats! I just hit 30 and I'm like "Wow!!" Any chance of transferring some over? I wish!!

My first visit here, John. Awesome blog you've got and thanks for sharing what you are sharing even though I may not understand all of it.

Do you really AGLOCO are going to come through with the green? They must have a huge 'userbase' by now

Even Agloco is promoting johnchow...

P.S. For those of you wishing to help build the AGLOCO network, here are notes from a couple of successful AGLOCO recruiters:

Yea I saw john's link when i signed up! heheh

We finally began spreading the word and have 12 total referals. Not bad for not really advertising...but really bad considering John.

Hey John,
I've got a landing page you can use...
http://www.aglo.co.nz/
Yes I am in your Agloco front line.
later

I can testify to that viral effect. I had 1000 referrals on March 1st, 2000 on March 15th, and today is March 16th and I'm already at 2108. I only have 63 directs. I attribute my success to my early penetration of the Brazilian market (I started a Portuguese AGLOCO blog in early January when there was literally nothing out there in Portuguese) and the fact that my blogs have more than just 3 or 4 general posts on AGLOCO. Members who sign up with me will know the history of the company, what AllAdvantage was (and what John Chow did there), they can find my email if they have any questions, and they come away stronger and more confident AGLOCO recruiters as a result who are more likely to go get other members. After the English-speaking world and China, Brazil probably has the highest AGLOCO representation as a result, because several of the heavy hitters saw my site early on and signed up there. I think if John Chow refuses to use his mighty blog machine any longer other than for passive referrals, I may be able to catch him...we'll see.

By the way: the first few recruits did not make my numbers jump. I too had more direct members than extended until about 20 days into it, when one guy from Canada joined over an email chat and got his mojo working. Then things began to change.

Good luck to everyone!

Off Topic. This may be old news, but has anyone else seen the new google logo on their adsense ads. This is the first time I have seen it.

Now you just gotta get all those people to download it once it comes out.

Yep. Then, after they download it will they keep it?

I think that's the question everyone is asking? How many are going to use it?

I don't understand why the heck they haven't released the viewbar yet. It would be so much easier to sign people up when the final product has been tested and true.

Building buzz! :lol: :razz:

I joined under johnchow few days ago, still zero referral. I have no idea how much will JohnChow earn if the network stop at this moment, let say 8000. Where can I evaluate the earning potential? I know algoco site is giving calculator on shares earned per month but have no idea about it's share value.

I guess they will have more explanation at hand when they actually start releasing the program from 'Beta'.

You have to refer the people. Can't have Chow do that for ya.

We joined under Chow his very first post...I think our code starts with BBBB..

Nice! I thnk I've got....zero? lol. Yep...it's zero.

Very impressive John. Can't wait to see how many more join the train when the viewbar is finally released.

Yeah whatever my opinions on the product, youve got to hand it to JC, he's a real master when it come to this kind of stuff...

I agree. congrats John, this will be a huge income revenue for you!

hi john!

I just wan't to congratulate you!! nice! 8000.. that's big bucks man!!

Any word on when the toolbar is likely to make an appearance?

I had a commenter on my blog state that she had actually spoken to some advertisers who had been approached by Agloco, and they're having trouble getting enough advertising money in - potential advertisers just don't feel they're going to get VFM from running ads on a toolbar that's probably going to be ignored.

Once the venture capital runs out, what then? Crash & Burn? I guess the people with big networks at startup will suck the VC money out & run (and good luck to them) while Agloco goes into a death spiral. All sounds familiar somehow....

"All sounds familiar somehow…."

Yes, I agree. Back before the Dot Com bust, there was at least one ISP which offered free internet access from anywhere in the nation, but you had to use their software which displayed an advertisement on your screen the whole time. Agloco is basically the same thing, except instead of internet service, they're apparently offering cash… clearly the ISP idea didn't catch on, so I don't see why Agloco can do any better. Profit from Agloco while you can; call me skeptical, but to expect anything long-term from it is presumptuous at this point.

I think that was NetZero. They are still around.

well i talket about this in my past comment and john u didnt commented.i dont think the agloco folks will have enough advertisers with them to compete with growing number of members.

I agree with all this stuff and wrote an article on it a while back.

The whole pyramid depends on plebs at the bottom of the pile clicking away for peanuts. Once all the stocks gone there is little incentive to do this, and like you I think it will crash and burn.

Pyramid schemes never have and never will be a sustainable business model. They only work during the "roll out" when people make from referrals. Once the scheme reaches its full potential, and there is no scope for further expansion (and profit) they collapse.

You could argue that there are X billion internet users and the scope is huge.... but a very high proportion of them wouldnt touch this toolbar with a barge pole, and the remainder probably wont be bothered using it.

Who wants to click away at adds for a few crumbs, and what kind of advertisers are going to be interested in these kind of clicks (where users are offered an incentive as opposed to clicking because they have genuine interest)?

Conversion rates on this kind of advertising are very poor. There will be some takers... Spammers survive on a conversion rate of something like 1 in a million.

But think what low conversion rates would mean in terms of PPC / kickback for users, and the effect that will have on the scheme as a whole.

It ain't clicking! AGLOCO members' earnings are not affected one bit whether they never click on the ads or click thousands of times! Check the official site!

7 Reasons AGLOCO won't fail

No, but as was pointed out to me, if the users don't click on the ads, advertisers won't want to pay money to put them there....

It's the death before born? Who knows...but the future doesn't seem good (AGAIN!)

the root of all evil is earning money!!! :twisted: money = evil hahaha

Let's see how 7,500+ will produce. For sure will give you another extra income with at least 4 numbers!

Yes John will definitely get a good return on the time he has invested, he has made a real success of building his network...

Indeed Jez. John's network is superb.

But like i said to you in the other day, i like you webdesign blog ;) and you've the "potential", the "force".

I just checked mine a few days ago (I never pushed it) and found I had about twenty sign ups under me!

I must have good SEO or something?

This really Huge Members, John Chow....
Congrats to you :wink:
