New Ways to Make Money Online: Internet Marketers are Adding 'Network Marketing Training' to their Repertoire

Making money online... it's something every Internet affiliate marketer and want-a-be has searched for... or has tried to come up for in the search engines.
It's a huge industry in and of itself because it really is the 'gold rush' of our century... Even Bigger. Much bigger.
But there is a very interesting trend underway that merges Internet affiliate marketing with network marketing... and it's going to be the biggest wave of them all, creating more millionaires than Internet marketing or network marketing ever have alone.
Along with this huge wave of millionaires will be hundreds of thousands of happy home based business income earners. That's why the network marketing and online marketing industries are so influential--the millionaires only become successful by helping others learn how to become successful as well. But with the merging of the two models it is only going to get easier.
How is it easier?
Network marketing provides the opportunity for the 'little guy' to get leverage. The problem has been they haven't been able to make enough cash-flow before they could build the larger downline to create a significant income in MLM.
Online affiliate marketing has had the opposite benefit and disadvantages. You could make quick cash-flow upfront, but it was very challenging to get the large 'residual income.' Sure, there are millionaires in online affiliate marketing but they have to keep working pretty hard as things change to sustain that income.
By merging network marketing with affiliate marketing, as discussed in Ann Sieg's book, The Renegade Network Marketer, the network marketer gets the upfront cash-flow advantage of affiliate marketing, while the online marketer gets to sell to an entirely new market (network marketers) while building an extremely valuable list of prospects that they could use at any time to leverage into an MLM empire.
An Online Affiliate Marketer's Dream Scenario...
An online marketer can do this by partnering with a network marketer (the online marketer creates the high-qualified free leads and the network marketer 'works' them).
Or, an online marketer can simply use his list to continue to provide affiliate products and services to over the long run... always having that opportunity to build an MLM in the back pocket.
Network Marketers Should Attract Online Marketers...
If you're a network marketer you should be creating Internet content to attract these online marketers to you. Create a hub page, squidoo lens, ezine article and/or videos on this discussion. Study the subject. Create an entire area at your blog about it. Assist online affiliate marketers in understanding how they can use network marketing to increase their bottom line.
You want to build a list of prospects who are serious marketers. Online affiliate marketers are a great group to add to your prospects list... and they'll want to know what you can teach them here.
If you're an online marketer you should definitely be seeking out information on how to implement the Marketing Merge. One resource I recommend is reading The Renegade Network Marketer as I mentioned above.
Or, go to this free University area created for network marketers. If you're affiliated with online marketing you'll see how you can use this to increase your bottom line quickly, while opening yourself up to an entire new market and bigger opportunities.

Start Building on a Budget Instead of Just Reading 'Building on a Budget!'
I run into a lot of people who purchased Magnetic Sponsoring or Building on a Budget. Perhaps they picked up Ann Sieg's book as well. This is a great start, but you'll need to take action in order to make it actually happen (OK, Duh, Mike... don't insult my intelligence).
I know we all realize these basic fundamentals, but being reminded that it's time to act on what you've read is sometimes what I needed.
But what's stopping you from taking the action?
The reality is that most people will need more guidance than just reading about what's possible.
These books are extremely important to understand the concepts, but they still leave a lot up to you to figure out on your own. Most people who aren't already familiar with Internet marketing will freeze. It's overwhelming.
That's why we've dedicated ourselves over the last 8 months to creating some tutorials that you can simply follow mouse-click-by-mouse click, visually, and at a nice slow pace--as if you were sitting right here next to me with your laptop setting things up right along side me.
Here's where you can find this kind of Support for Magnetic Sponsoring and Building on a Budget fans.
Taking action will give you results like you see here at this page I created, which describes in more detail How You Can Build on a Budget with Hub Pages and Squidoo (and other Internet Marketing content) by getting free Front Page Placements on Yahoo and Google.
Action is the next step.

More Reviews for Mike Dillard's New Book, Building on a Budget. Is Building on a Budget Everything is Claims to Be?
Mike Dillard has made a huge contribution to the network marketing industry, particularly in the area of attraction marketing.
Basically, Attraction Marketing is the science (and art) of generating your own prospects list, and even more, doing it in a way that your prospects want to talk to you, follow you, and join you in business.
Even if you're not in the MLM industry, there are huge advantages to learning attraction marketing. There are a number of ways to produce cash-flow when you know how to build an audience. Any business can be built more effectively with attraction marketing.
Does Mike Dillard's Book, Buidling on a Budget Make the Grade?
Building on a Budget is a new book Mike Dillard wrote that focuses in on some Social Marketing methods any business can use to attract prospects through no and low cost Internet strategies.
In short, it's a great book because Dillard is to-the-point and shares 5 great ways you can use Social Marketing to attract prospects to you. The challenge is that it's just 5 methods and it doesn't spend enough time for a newbie to truly to learn all that's needed for big results. But it will get you started and if you're the type of person who follows up on what you read, it will advance you forward in your business fast.
I recommend Mike Dillard's Building on a Budget book to anyone in business, whether you're in network marketing or not. It's a great beginning.

Building on a Budget by Mike Dillard: Book Review
Building on a Budget is a new book provided by Mike Dillard, author of Magnetic Sponsoring and creator of the Magnetic Sponsoring system.
If you're thinking about purchase Building on a Budget you may want to read this honest review before you do. Being able to build on a budget is important for any network marketer. Even if you have money, most of your downline doesn't--so learning how to build your own prospects list for a low cost is imperative... unless you're still building the business the old way. If that's the case, all I can say is 'ouch.'
Building on a Budget: Does it Make Sense?
In reviewing Mike Dillard's products prior to Building on a Budget I've found him to be very straight-forward and to deliver. The problem is that most network marketers are not comfortable with the Internet, and fighting through the learning curve of Internet marketing is a struggle. Most simply will not be able to read a book and then apply what they've reviewed.
Still, everyone needs to start somewhere, and Dillard's materials of the past have proven useful as an introduction. I suspect that this Building on a Budget Book will be no different.

Using Web 2.0 Social Media to Build Your Network Marketing MLM Business in Style
The network marketing (MLM) industry has been hurting for a change for quite some time. For years, people have been sent out with a names list and some scripts... or worse, have bought into spending thousands on leads to get into cold-calling... only to have their dreams killed by the harsh reality that network marketing was not taught as an actual business.
It couldn't be--people couldn't afford to real marketing. TV, radio, and even building an effective web site was too expensive and required too many time-consuming skill sets to develop.
So network marketers were taught to do the unthinkable, use hard core 'talk to everyone' tactic.
Thank goodness that this is over!
With social Web 2.0 social marketing it can now cost nothing to produce the big-dog results. And while building a site used to require 'techie' skills, that's no longer the
Now with Internet Marketing, specifically with using Web 2.0 'Social Media' this is all starting to change...
It's now possible for average people to learn to use real marketing in their business to attract the prospects and customers come to them... and to monetize (get cash-flow) from many sources while attracting the key customers or prospects to the higher costing, or higher commitment,item (such as a business opportunity).
If this is the first time you've heard of Social Media or Social Marketing (also called Web 2.0)... they are all referring to basically the same thing.
Web 2.0 is where users interact with the content on the Internet (create their own web page, interact with others, make blogs, post articles and videos, such as on You Tube, and provide content all over without paying for it). Content is what makes the Internet world go 'round.
This will change the network marketing MLM business as we know it today for one major reason:
It's smarter business. It's easier. It's more reasonable to attract your business to you. It's more reasonable to generate cash-flow on the front-end like real businesses do... while working toward selling the higher ticket item.
My advice...
If you're a network marketing business owner, you better get into Social Marketing in a big way. If you want help, I've put together a step-by-step marketing site that gets you started quickly in Generating Your Own MLM Leads for Your Networking Marketing Business--While Generating Cash-flow While Building Your Longer Term Residual Income Downline.

How Renegade Network Marketer Queen, Didi, Uses You Tube
For a Video Review by Mike Klingler on Ann Sieg's book, The Renegade Network Marketer, Click and View.
I have been amazed at the results people are getting using Your Tube and other social networking sites.
We did a Webinar last night, and had the largest attendance ever for Renegade University---200+ people!
We shared a lot about social networking and gave an example of Didi Alcheva, who put a Renegade Network Marketer related video up on Your Tube and immediate got results. Within 18 hours she had 40 visits on You Tube (with hundreds of views on that video from other places she posted it as well). She got a prospect who purchased The Renegade Network Marketer Blog. He sent an email and sounds like a great prospect.
Long story short, if you're a Renegade Network Marketer I would suggest following Didi's lead. Go check it out right now... see The Renegade Networking Queen in Action!
The Renegade Network Marketer & The Renegade System... What's Next?
A lot of network marketers have been learning from The Renegade Network Marketer e-book, and have even started using The Renegade System to start generating cash flow while building their own prospects leads list.
However, have you stopped to think about what's next?
The next wave is training...
If you can provide training, or better yet provide tools that allow your prospects to provide training so you position yourself and them as leaders in the new model, you will dominate the next wave of change as the network marketing industry becomes a Renegade Marketing world.

A Christmas Gift From Mike Klingler -- And Why I Don't Believe in Santa Clause Internet Marketing
It's December 25th and I've got a Christmas present for you...
I'm going to tell you exactly what makes me money every day on the Internet without me EVER having to rely upon a program.
Because you see...
You don't need to join programs to make money on the Internet--only beginners rely on programs to make money... and those people almost NEVER make money.
I call this the "Santa Clause Internet Marketer"... because they always believe the next program will make them money but it never actually shows up on the roof with the reindeer.
I was a big promoter of Agloco--and I don't regret it. There is nothing wrong with believing in a program as long as you don't bank your entire business on it! It doesn't matter for my business if Agloco fails and that was why I could afford to put my energy into promoting it... if it failed, I still made money because I have an email list.
Do you want to know how to do things this way... to make money whether or not the programs you like wins or flops?
Hint: You have to learn how to provide value to people (to your target market). It can be a lot easier than it sounds... and it's a lot easier than jumping around from program to program wishing that 'this one will work.'
I think it's absolutely ridiculous when I see people promoting Internet programs, like Agloco, or anything else, when that's all they are doing to make money with the Internet.
Look, you will never make good money on the Internet unless you FIRST learn how to promote yourself and SECOND promote other programs.
You see, programs, like Agloco, come and go. Some of them pay and some of them don't. Some of the last and some of them, like Agloco, never make it off the ground. The bigger the vision (like Agloco had) the bigger the opportunity and the greater chance it won't make it off the ground.
That doesn't mean you stop promoting Internet programs... it means you learn how to build a business on the Internet that can't fail by relying on yourself (not on the programs themselves).
Here's what I mean...
You must learn how to build your own email list. You must learn how to make money from this list (we call this monetization).
When you're getting started you must choose one target market... this means you choose one group of people that is specific who have an identifiable need that you can fill.
I'm going to let you in on one of the biggest money making secrets on the Internet right now.
By far, the best target market for a new person to focus on building an email list is network marketers. Why?
Because more than any other single group on the planet, network marketers are willing to spend money on information that can assist them. And they are coming to the Internet in huge numbers right now throwing money at everything and anything that can teach them how to use the Internet to build their network marketing business.
I don't care if you're in network marketing. It doesn't matter if you know much about network marketing (at least right now).
You should always study your target market, but you have to do that anyway no matter what market you go after. I suggest, if you're looking for a sure fire way to make money on the Internet you do what I do... you focus on providing value to network marketers.
Because...
It's the easiest group to grow an email list the fastest, and
It's the fastest growing single group of people running to the Internet for information on how to build their business, and
They are willing to spend money on anything that will help them learn how to do marketing online and to attract prospects to them
Network marketers are fed up with their own industry. They are tired of chasing down friends and family to sell their products and opportunities. They are sick of being made fun of for silly 'marketing' strategies that require cold calling and prospecting their neighbors. They are hungry for learning real marketing on the Internet. I will show you how simple it is to sell to them... all over the world with a simple strategy.
I will give you all my secrets. I'll show you how I made over $5018 in my first few weeks this summer selling just one powerful information product to other network marketers while building a huge email list.
With an email list like this you can sell future products that they will want.
You can do a JV (joint venture) opportunity with a capable network marketer who will call the leads and build a downline for you--really, if you find a good one (I know some) this is a reality...
Growing your own email list and making money on that list is, by far, the best way for anyone, whether you are new or experienced, to make money on the Internet.
I said I'd give you my secrets...
I'll give you the same tools I've been using to build my list and market to network marketers.
Here is a web system I created, which you can have completely free... The Renegade Network Marketer University.
It may take you a few weeks, or even a few months to learn how to do exactly what I do... but the truth is you CAN.
The system you're about to see is targeted for network marketers but if you understand what I just shared with you than you realize that you can use this to 'market' and sell to network marketers... and to build your own email list just as I do... even if you're not a network marketer yourself.
I'll be sharing more soon. In the mean time you can register at The Renegade System University
Study everything there. Follow the steps. Dont' be a wimp. Do what it takes and follow those who have accomplished what you want... that's what I did.
I will teach you how I make a healthy six figure income over the Internet. You just have to be willing to work, read, invest into the RIGHT things... and take action.

What Happened to Agloco and What You Can Do About It...
EMAIL I SENT TO COMMUNITY ON DECEMBER 14TH...
Hi everyone,
If you didn't get the email that Agloco recently sent to the membership it basically said they are throwing in the towel... in other words, they don't want to invest into the concept any longer and are probably going to fold up shop. For my foreign friends reading this, that means Agloco has admitted they are most likely quitting.
I can't say I blame them. If you aren't making enough money to pay the bills you have to do something differently. They have no experience with marketing so they really only had one shot and it looks like they missed... that is no reason to be upset with them or yourself if you believed in it. It's called business and if you haven't been a part of failure than you are a long way from success. So chalk this one up on the board as a failure and realize it just puts you one step closer to the big win. (Below I will give you an extremely valuable suggestion about what you can do next to gaurantee your success... which means to stop promoting programs until you do one very important thing first... I explain below).
But first, here are my final thoughts on Agloco... My personal opinion is that Agloco failed because they didn't know enough about Internet marketing. They had vision and some youthful energy with good educations, but they didn't know how to monetize a web site or community.
It would have been easy and inexpensive to create a social networking platform and generate cash flow. It also would have been extremely easy to attempt to monetize their Agloco site as well.
They also could have monetized their email list---which was over a million... by providing value and in exchange selling various information products. They could have made some good money by following common sense monetization strategy, but they did not have that experience. Their mistake is common--it's called tunnel vision. They wanted a view bar. They envisioned a business model with monetizing a view bar. So that's all they did. And since that clearly requires a lot more resources to develop, they could have only saved themselves by creating income from new sources from the community they established, which they just didn't know how to do.
So there we have it. Agloco is most likely dead. Let's get over it... now what?
I do not believe that business stands still. Just because a good idea doesn't work the way you want it to... that is certainly no reason to quit on your dreams. People are doing extremely well financially with the Internet (I can include myself in that group, and I personally know dozens of people who have created anywhere between a six figure income on up to tens of millions (yes, really). Maybe all you want is a couple hundred or perhaps a few thousand per month... I don't know. What I do know is that you can do it much more easily than you think. It's easier than learning how to play the guitar--I can promise you that. But it's probably going to require more work than most people are willing to put in (in fact, I can say for sure that most people are not cut out for anything more than a job). Only you can decide if you're willing to stick at it. If you are, I would be happy to guide you along the way with tips and tools... some of them completley free.
Of course my time is valuable, just like yours--so I can't just take you by the hand and put in countless hours on the phone to show you the ropes unless you are willing to pay me for that time. My current rate is $200 per hour. But there is something I'm willing to offer to you for free. I will teach you, over time, through my emails, how I generated $5000 in my first month selling my first affiliate commission product. I'll describe how I built my first solid email list... I'll explain what target market will make you the most money over the next two years (we'll talk about trends and timing and how you can capitalize without even relying on a program to do it)... and I'll show you how you can build your own email list so you are always making money no matter what programs come, go, rise or fall.
The ONE THING I'd like you to take from this email is this...
The very best thing you can do is focus on creating an email list of your own. These can't just be any emails but ones you have collected yourself. However, how you collect them will make a huge difference in how much money you will make from them. And what you do after you have collected those emails matters as much as anything if you want to make good money from it.
Building a list is much more profitable than starting out promoting other programs (like Agloco). Once you have a list, then and only then, can you really expect to be successful.
My next email will introduce you to the method I used to create my list. I'll show you exactly how I did it. And I'll give you a free tool that will allow you to do it as well. By the way, I will soon be turning my blog, called www.TheLeaderBlog.com into a support site for you on this very subject.
Until then,
Mike Klingler
P.S. Would you like to advertise for free? Here is where I generate sales and leads every day while making a little money as I build my list at the same time. This has no cost: http://www.trafficswarm.com/go.cgi?581657 (you need to go to this entire web address or you will not be in my group to receive future assistance with this).
P.S.S. Do you already have a list and are looking to promote something? Here is one I suggest (also no cost although it pays and it is a similar model to Agloco: http://www.yuwie.com/yuwie.asp?r=239887&vid=

Social Networking Sites -- and one that Pays You?
This is an email I sent to the community on November 6th
Hi. Are you using Social Networking sites to build your lists and to send traffic to your blog or website at no cost?
People are using these to create some serious traffic and to become very successful at marketing without spending a dime. This is another method my team has used to attract tens of thousands of opt in emails to our lists, which has translated into thousands of dollars earned, just from the results created on these social networking sites alone.
Driving Traffic to Your Blog at No Cost
Hi,
I get a lot of questions from people about how they can get more traffic to their websites without breaking the bank. Whether you’re promoting a program, building your own email list, or wanting more traffic to your blog, advertising and marketing is obviously a huge part of the equation.
Most of the ‘methods’ I’ve tried have been a waste of time, but over the years I’ve found several very useful resources that don’t cost anything and bring me daily traffic that turns into sales.
One in particular is worth knowing about. It only takes a moment to get signed into it (at no cost) and from there you can quickly put up some ads to your blog or a program like Agloco (or anything else) and start seeing results from your ads. Here is the link: http://www.RenegadeSupport.com
You create your account at the lower right side of the site. Then start some advertising.
In the next couple weeks we’ll be launching a free marketing training program called Renegade University. One of the video tutorials at the University will be teaching you how to set up your advertising at that location I give above. It’s fairly simple but many people appreciate the extra help. I’ve successfully used this for several years and have learned a few tricks that consistently give me great results.
Be sure to use the entire link above or you’ll miss out on that additional free training coming out in a few weeks.
Until next time, keep moving forward with your goals online. The money is real if you do real work.

Thoughts after talking with Brian Greenwald Today
I just spoke with Brian Greenwald. He'll be sharing his comments in the Official Blog soon.
In our conversation, he reiterated that we're at an important and critical point with the Ask.com deal. That deal is the first big step in creating revenue for the community.
Remember, the revenue hasn’t started yet so the money we get for June, July and August is a GIFT from Agloco. They didn’t have pay anything for those months because there was no positive cash flow yet!
So Brian and I agreed that the present payment plan announcement for June, July and August is just a starting point.
I want to repeat something very important here that many members haven’t considered:
The payments for June, July and August were announced before Agloco has gotten into a profitable position.
Since Agloco's entire model for paying members is based upon bringing in positive cash flow, it is VERY premature to expect making any kind of worthwhile compensation for our hours in June, July and August.
I think that most people may not understand the payment distribution announcement.
They could have just as easily announced that we would make NOTHING for June, July and August because Agloco made nothing. In actuality that is what they could have done and completely remained in integrity.
They had always stated Agloco will not pay the members until they have the positive cash flow to do it. They are being EXTREMELY generous to be offering any form of compensation for June, July and August at all. I think there are a lot of people who don't understand this very important point. People are angry when they should be saying ‘Thank You!’
Agloco is basically giving us money, as little as it may be, when they didn't have to. They are giving us money in anticipation of revenues from Ask.com. They'll be paying us for June, July and August 2007 hours using money they make AFTER October 2007. I want to repeat because it’s so important to understand: They did NOT have to do this.
They are giving us EXTRA money to show good faith.
I created the Leader Blog (and called it The Leader Blog), and I talked a lot of the importance of Vision---because I knew that the founding members in this community had a very unique and special role if Agloco was to succeed.
I have always thought of Agloco was an experiment with no guarantees, but because it did not require an investment I chose to promote it. When I decide to do something I put my entire heart into it. I liked the opportunity and potential over the long-run. I liked the uniqueness of it. I liked the challenge I could take on to try to do my part to help people through the hard times that I knew would come in these early stages.
When I chose to promote Agloco I didn't decide to do it half-way. And I didn't only decide to promote it. In fact, I have done VERY LITTLE of promoting Agloco for my own gain. Most of the energy I have put into Agloco has been for the entire community. At my blog, for example, there has never been a link to my Agloco sign up page. All referrals go to people who have contributed to the blog.
Of course I have promoted my blog and myself along the way--that's what business and networking is all about. If your intention is to provide value to others this is a positive thing that everyone should consider. It’s something you must do if you’re going to be very successful in business.
I decided that I would do my best to remind the community to apply long-term vision and to follow through during the early stages of the company, which we are still in right now.
Until Agloco is in a positive cash flow situation it is vulnerable. The quality of people in the community will determine, more than anything else, what happens next.
This is the most critical and exciting time of all for us as a community. More than ever we need to be calm and see this through so that Agloco can have time to get into a profitable position.
I have been surprised to see Agloco attract so many great members who have positive natures and leadership skills. Typically, when an opportunity requires no investment it doesn’t attract these types of people. But the uniqueness and potential of Agloco has clearly grabbed the curiosity and interest of some great people.
There will always be the people on the other side of the fence who focus on all the reasons why something won't work. We needn't put any energy into them. There is no need to even address them, or respond to them directly. But don’t misunderstand what I just wrote to mean you can’t share your opinions when you disagree with something or have concerns. That’s different than being here to sabotage the community.
Agloco could fail. So what. I am here to play a part in making it succeed. I wouldn't have typed one post if I wasn't here to make a positive contribution.
When you read someone's post just ask yourself, "Why are they here?" Are they here to make a positive contribution or is it something else. Maybe a member who has supported Agloco will get upset. That’s OK. But I’m talking about the people who are consistently here to sabotage the community.
Some people here will misunderstand what I have written and think I said that you can't discuss something negative in nature about Agloco's decisions. I didn't say that.
Nothing is perfect and Agloco is no exception. If you feel something needs to be addressed or changed, I agree, of course, talk about it!
It may even seem negative at times. That is fine. You may get upset. That is understandable.
What I am suggesting, however, is to ask yourself what the overall intentions are when others post here --- are they contributing overall in a positive way to Agloco and our community? If so, let's collaborate with them. If they are down, help lift them up or help them see another side of things.
If they are NOT here to benefit the community overall, I suggest we dismiss them and do not give power to them by responding in any way directly.
You can always respond to the issues they raise by addressing the entire community, as you'll notice I started doing months ago. For example, if someone who is clearly not contributing positively to Agloco makes rude comments about me or others, I will never reply directly to them. But if they raised questions or issues in other posts I might address those issues to the community (but not by addressing them).
It is important that we work together to create a constructive flow in this blog as much as possible and these are some suggestions that I offer. If you have any other suggestions about how we can work together to create a positive and constructive environment here please share them as well!
So let's continue forward. Let's see how well Ask.com does for us. If it doesn’t do well I hope we have enough leadership here in the community to give Agloco even more time. All we have to do is use the view bar and encourage others to do the same. Our role is quite simple. If we can hold it together as leaders Agloco will have enough time to create positive cash flow. Then we will deserve the reward.
If Agloco doesn’t succeed, we will be as much a part of it as Agloco, if not more. Our job is so easy.
Let's not get too caught up in the discussion about the payment plan right now. It was a gift from Agloco to the community because they didn't have to pay us for June, July and August (since those were not positive cash flow months). It was free money. I'll take free money over 100 years if it's free.
Let's look forward to the future and see if Agloco can become a sustainable positive cash flow company. If it can we will expect to see real money paid in real time! Until then, keep those viewbars up!
Partners in success,
Mike Klingler

And yet, another post on Official Agloco blog today...
I thought it would be good to saturate the Official Agloco Blog today with some focus upon what Agloco is really all about and what it can offer to us. Here's a 4th article I contributed to shed some light on Agloco today...
The viewbar is not ONLY a little bar on the bottom of your screen that rotates ads and pays you money per 5 hours of use to you and those you refer.
The viewbar is an opportunity to be a part of a community that moves together on the Internet to have economic power. With this economic power we can generate income for ourselves, once the community has grown large enough.
It’s not to that point yet. That’s why the first payment plan is not enticing. Nor could it be. It’s the future potential of this that’s enticing.
For the supportive founding members of Agloco, the view bar is much more than what a ‘average Joe’ will see it for. It is a tool that gives us a chance to be a part of something huge down the road.
We have already tasted the power of this economic network Ask.com. They’ve gotten tons of exposure. Unfortunately, they probably don’t pay for the exposure alone (I’m not sure how the partnership deal is written up); but none-the-less, I am sure that Ask has seen a significant result from their partnership already.
As we move around the Internet, together, as an economic community, we can really have some pull. As we grow, which we surely will over time, the revenue and ’special deals on products’ improves. As this happens, the founding members who have huge networks really get a big residual pay off.
I really hope I can buy the referral networks of those weak-minded founding members because they surely do not deserve to enjoy that future along side those of you who have supported Agloco.
Another post on Blog today...
.. But Mike, I only have a few people in my network. How will I make big money?
You’ll do what Jason has done (who just recently joined) and you’ll start building your referral network.
But what do I tell them?
That Agloco is building a community that pays members for having the view bar on their computer. They haven’t started paying yet and no body knows how much they’ll get but it’s free to join and it’s fun to follow along with their progress. If they refer others and if Agloco can do well it could be some good money down the road. It’s free so here’s the link to sign up
But Mike, why will people keep the view bar if so much time will pass before they make money?
For the same reason people have a google bar, because they get used to it. Many will wonder if it will turn into something down the road. They’ll get used to the growing number of features on the view bar. Some will get rid of it. Some will keep it. That’s all we need to grow.
But Mike, if someone never refers anyone why would they keep it up? Other than the reasons I just explained, Agloco will have many special deals for the community. So even if someone never referred anyone down the road, they’ll get special offers on products and services, and the view bar will get ‘cooler and cooler. As Agloco gets more economic power one of the first things they can do is create little price discounts on things. This will be easier than paying a lot of money out. Many people will keep the viewbar or want the view bar for this alone.
Most people are not business minded. They are consumers. It’s going to be a lot easier, once Agloco gets a little bigger, for them to give incentives to consumers with discounts and such.
People will keep the viewbar if Agloco makes it over the next hurdle.
There are no guarantees in business except this:
If you focus on the positives and empower others your chances of success far outweigh your chances by focusing on the negatives.
For that reason, I encourage everyone here to focus on what Agloco is really all about. If you have stuck with it this long see it through. Let’s get Agloco to become large enough of a network to pay us well.

About Ask.com and Agloco’s partnership…
Agloco’s power is already substantial!
You know, it’s interesting, I remember when Ask.com used to be called AskJeeves.com
I went there a couple times about 5 or so years ago (maybe more). But I haven’t been there for a long time.
When Agloco announced that Ask.com was to become a partner, I went there a few times to check them out. Just think how many people in Agloco have done that this month. I am sure, no matter what happens from here with the Agloco-Ask partnership, that Ask.com will always remember the spike they got in late September–early October as members went to check it out.
That is powerful, everyone. It’s the first sign of what we are capable of as an economic network.
Can you wrap your mind around what has just hapenned, and the potential of it?
Ask.com immediately got more exposure to its site then it’s gotten in years. That is worth a lot on the Internet. How much it’s worth will depend on how big Agloco grows. How big Agloco grows will depend on how many members we have out there who have the ability to grasp and explain the vision of Agloco.
The vision is this:
The concept of Agloco is powerful. It is still alive right now. And if Agloco’s concept catches on big enough, it has the potential to gain a huge level of power on the Internet. If it does accomplish this, it will be among the most profitable companies ever in history.
In order for this to be accomplished we need some real leadership in the ranks. People with long term vision. People who can move others into action even if there isn’t a short term gain.
I have seen some of these leaders here in the blog.
I have no doubt that the Agloco management team has what it takes to pull off the vision. The question is if they have attracted enough leadership in the membership to pull it off.
How many people really get what Agloco is trying to do?
How many people will follow through even if they are not ‘bought off’ as All Advantage did.
From one leader to another, here is what we need to do:
Email your lists and tell them to check out Ask.com from their view bar.
Explain the vision. Explain the power of what just hapenned in the simplest terms you can.
Explain how Agloco just sent tens of thousands of people to ‘Ask.com’ and that we haven’t even started yet.
Explain that the current payment plan is just the beginning. Explain that if they continue to be a part of the community and help to grow it we will be able to take over the Internet.
Here’s what we need and I’ll be suggesting it to Brian when I talk to him on Wednesday…
It’s time to kick out the weak-minded. We’re going to put together a master mind group so we can develop some real leadership in this economic network.
It’s time to get rid of the people in this blog who lack vision and good nature.
It’s time for leadership!
