9,000 AGLOCO Sign Ups
written by John Chow
Today I received about five IM messages with a link to a fairly negative AGLOCO article that made the front page of Digg. That reminded me that I should check my stats. Good thing I did because I hit another milestone by crossing over the 9,000 sign up mark.
It’s All About Attitude
Whether an AGLOCO article is positive or negative, it doesn’t matter to me. The only thing that matters is what I think. If you let your belief get influenced or affected by every Tom, Dick and Harry that cried, “The sky is falling!” you’ll never accomplish anything in life.
You have a dream to make money online. Statistically speaking, your chances are very slim. Oh sure, you’ll hear stories of some guy going from zero to $7,000 a month in six months, but he’s one out of 60+ million blogs. You think you can do the same thing? Actually, you can if you want it badly enough.
Success Has Nothing To Do With Facts And Everything To Do With Attitude
Looking at the facts, one would question why anyone would try their hand at making money on the Internet. It’s fair to say 99.9% of all the blog owners can’t make more than $100 a month. However, there’s still that 0.1% who make big money. When I told someone this many years ago, his replied was, “You got some attitude to think you can part of that 0.1%.” That’s right, I do.
Your attitude in handling negative situations will determine whether you became a success or another statistic. The world is filled with naysayers. Are you going to listen to them are you going to take your destiny into your own hands decide your own future? There are three groups of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happen. Which group do you want to be in?

Congrats John…wonder how long it will be before you hit 10 000
I’ll be there in a week.
Very nice John,
According to what you are saying, I am in the 0,01 % of bloggers
I tripled 100 already
I think that “negative” AGLOCO guy just wanted to get some traffic to his site.
His entire article is off base as he was ASSuming that AGLOCO was going to issue shares in a US market.
He’s also skeptical of where the money will come from. Looks like he conveniently ignored the billion dollar internet advertising.
Thanks,
Wesley…

I agree, this kind of publicity brings traffic to is site. But agloco is taking too much time to go online, that’s not normal…
By the way, in this post john is forgeting something even more important, which is LUCK. Without luck you can have all the knowledge in the world, but that will not mean that you will succeed. And of course some money, withou initial money, nothing can be made.
You make your own luck.
“The harder I work, the luckier I get.”
I predicted you’ll go over 9,000 at least 3 days earlier that today. I think you’ll cross 10,000 before next thursday.
Many times it’s not like that john. Unfortunally there’re many people who work very hard and don’t neither luck and success.
Your are a very experienced person, you must agree that this is true, has i also agree, that without hard work and focus, nothing can be accomplished. But luck is a key factor, has hard work and focus is.
Hey John - how does a blogger extraordinaire like yourself not have a Wikipedia entry? Is this something you’d like your community to write on your behalf or are you like me and would rather write one yourself? http://www.markrobinson.ca/2007/03/wikipedia-entry-for-mark-robinson/
John’s not on wikipedia?? Well it’s street cred just went out the window
Stephen Fung is on there!
Feel free to write one.
It’ll be interesting to read.
I’ll get you started then open it up to your readers to muck with it as they see fit. Watch out for that one guy that’s obsessed with the size of your head!
Ok - I feel like the dorky president of the John Chow fan club (maybe I’ll get a T-Shirt) but nonetheless I submitted a basic entry into Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_chow
I encourage everyone to contribute and modify the entry as you see fit.
Sorry - minor edit - here’s the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Chow
Both of those entries are blank for me
Hmm - wikipedia seems to be rejecting John. Not sure why the entry is vanishing - I put it back and I’ll investigate.
This might be trickier than I thought. Stay tuned.
I wouldn’t have thought it would be that tricky…
Everyone hates John because of how evil he is! Digg…Wikipedia…
Yeah the Wiki doesnt work..
John, I’m glad you don’t let facts get in the way of your opinions.
j/k
It’s very true, have a positive attitude and you can do anything!
Saman,
shhhh… that’s the secret!
IIRC, John made a substantial amount of money with all advantage before it collapsed. He’s taking a calculated with their second go. If it goes belly up, I doubt he’ll be out too much. However it it takes off, he has a huge network to profit from.
That is from The Secret!
He he. Well, you really gave no facts. You gave your opinion based on what little you knew about it. Since the company is still in pre-launch, everything is an opinion.
Who was it that said, “Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one and they all stink.”
BTW - to your SEC question. AGLOCO is registered in Hong Kong. Last time I checked, the SEC don’t operate there.
John,
Are they are based out (incorp.) of HK or have they registered with HKEx to issue shares?
2 very different things
They’re headquartered and incorporated in HK. The plans are to list the shares on the London exchange.
“Last time I checked, the SEC don’t operate there”
A common misconception. The SEC doesn’t care where a company is based.
They care about one thing: are you selling/distributing shares to the public in the US? if yes, you must abide by US law.
This goes for any jurisdiction btw. Want to sell/distribute shares to Canadians? Sure, come on in! But we’ve got 10, count’em, 10 regulatory authorities. One for each province.
Want to distribute shares to the English? Sure, call up the FSA. And so on and so on. You get the idea.
Can we have positive and evil attitude at the same time?
I wonder what is your opinion on this article. Got it off the front page of Digg.
You need to read the first paragraph of this post.
Haha,
I see a lot of comments like that. You think…did they read the post at all?
When negativity dominates.. people jump to the comment section to pitch their voice in without hearing out the others.
Ya it’s pretty funny to read these comments. I’ve pointed out to more than one person already that John had already answered their question in the post they were commenting on
Wait - we’re supposed to read?!!?
Nah…lots of people don’t bother with actually reading the post!
LOL!
You are currently in the top commentator list on the site John. I thought that was hilarious.
That is funny
Oops! my bad!
I completely missed that. Went straight for the text after the image.
I guess I should have thought of writing something like this to draw some attention as well. .
Too late
I’m just going through the article now and can’t help but wonder what a bald faced lie is…
Well this article that bashes Agloco is loaded with all kinds of nearsighted criticisms.
The author seems to have decided that it’s a scam and has written a post to hep support that opinion. For example the idea that the owners are going to line their pockets while leaving the membership out in the cold once revenue does start churning is pretty short sighted.
If they were scam artists, I could agree with this statement. If they’re business people they’ll know that they need to keep the membership happy in order to keep doing business. I’m not saying they won’t take their cut, but they’re not going to freeze out the users while they go out and buy multi-million dollar homes. That would lead to a very short life span for the company.
These guys are in it to win it and are going to do whatever they can to make their idea fly. A quick dash and grab could earn them millions, but a solid business with happy advertisers and happy users could earn them billions.
The Googles is great for such questions:
bald-faced (bôld’fāst’)
adj.
1. Brash; undisguised: a bald-faced lie.
your friendly dictionary (gathering dust on a shelf) is also not a bad source of info
Thanks!
That article is absolutely spot on correct, and exactly what I’ve been saying from day 1.
Of course, there is the potential for John Chow and a few others to make money. But the potential is very low, because it depends on people installing ads on their browser just to make these few people make money… and maybe they’ll earn a few dollars in the process.
But I doubt it will ever go public, and if it does, it will never become profitable. They are not offering a service in exchange for advertising… They are offering the promise of money, without actually promising anything.
Quite clever, really. I would be willing to bet that Agloco will yet again by a symbol of the Dot Com Crash 2.0 if it is to happen.
Dont care if it brings me that few 1000s $$$
Hmmm.. cant get enuff benjamins
Whoa… 9,000 sign ups already. It’s really spreading like wildfire. Hehe
You really inspires me John
He has been working at it for a while, those numbers didn’t happen overnight!
Like the 1938 video says…the A Listers work harder than you!
Impressive indeed
Sometimes you just gotta believe yourself and work on it. Who knows about the future? It is better to see it for yourself than listen to others.
