Mike Klingler asks Brian Greenwald:

Are there any statistics that you can share?  A lot of people had asked, you know, how fast is Agloco growing or these kind of things. Any statistic you can throw out? I know that you had mentioned in your last blog that we were at 20% activation about a week or so ago and you wanted to reach 50 %. Can you expand on what you meant by that, some people had questions on what that meant?

 

Brian Greenwald:

Sure. Well, much like revealing information about partners there is this balance where we’d love to tell members everything that’s going on and share a ton of numbers but most companies just don’t do that and there’s a reason for it. Unfortunately, we are under the same constrains so we think carefully before giving numbers but we are doing well with sign ups, we have several thousands a day and it’s continuing strong and it’s growing.

As far as that number of 20 % activation, I think I wrote that we had 20% activation with hope to reach 50% by the end of this summer. What that number means is 20% of the signed up verified Agloco members that have downloaded the Viewbar or more precisely those who have logged time on their Viewbar.

So we’ve have three numbers that we really take a look at. One is the number of raw sign ups we have. This number is actually interesting but somewhat meaningless, because what it comes down to—what matters more—is the next number which is verified sign ups. When you sign up for Agloco we send you an e-mail and you have to verify, and then you get your account. And that’s really the number we concentrate on and the 20% is the percentage of those verified sign ups that have been using the Viewbar.

I heard some comments that people seem to think that’s a bit low but actually well in with our expectations and there are a number of reasons for that. For instance, we know that some users are on Mac, Linux or other operating systems; [also] sometimes it takes people more time to download. I know that moving people to action is a lot easier said than done, especially when there is not a promise of an immediate pay out right now this month ,or anything like that.

And so we think about it as a long term prospect, and we know that when Agloco has better credibility having paid and better software (when the Viewbar actually has a lot more everyday uses) this should slowly raise and with time it’s expected to go well above 50 %.

Mike Klingler:

Absolutely, I kind of see right now we are laying the ground work for everything and as things come out, as revenue begins obviously a lot of those people who may not have gotten the View bar who signed up are going to jump in real quick because they are going to know what’s going on and they are going to hear about it very quickly at that point.

Brian Greenwald:

Exactly.

Mike Klingler:

One question that people have asked, if you can just kind of touch upon it, is the idea that they want to be able to communicate with their members and their team to help facilitate the growth to connect with people.  And I know that it’s been something you guys are considering. Can you address that real quick – the communication tools?

Brian Greenwald:

Sure, yah, this is something we’ve talked about for a long time and it’s something that members have brought up for a couple months; and it’s really a good idea and it’s a really important idea.  It’s something that plays a huge role on our plans for Agloco moving forward. Unfortunately, right now we just don’t have the resources to make it happen.  And the reason for that is that--as a start up company--and I guess people often forget that we are still a start up company--we’re trying to run somewhat lean so that we can really move forward towards profitability and members distributions.

Right now I’d say that there are a couple of things that are more important than member to member communication. Specifically, making sure that the website and Viewbar remain stable; continuing to improve the Viewbar, because I am sure there are still a few people out there who have experienced a few bugs and are not able to use the Viewbar. Catering to those members is really a number one priority and we’re also spending a lot of time updating our revenue systems so we can really feasibly get to member distribution as quickly as possible. So a lot of our programmer time is taken up doing that.

Keep in mind also that when we have the communication system it’s going to be member opt in.  And the reason for this is that we take privacy very seriously at Agloco and there’s a couple of reasons for that. The primary one is that if we ever broke the privacy trust, which I promise members we won’t, you’re never going to get it back. The Privacy is just so extremely important especially when we have your surfing habits and personal information we take that very, very seriously. Also, a second reason might be that we are thinking about things in the big picture and assuming that if we are not already big enough to come under a lot of scrutiny we can’t cut corners on issues like this.

Our primary concern is getting the revenue and then we will make a ton of improvements.

Also remember that we don’t have unlimited funds but every dollar that we spend is really the community’s money so we have to make sure that we get money coming into the community before we start sending a lot of money out.

I will give you another example of that.  I have gotten questions about Mac operating systems and whether or not we will release the Viewbar for Mac, for Linux, Windows 95, 98, etc. And the first thing to mention is that specifically regarding Windows 95 and 98 Millennium addition, Microsoft, almost a year ago--I believe by now it may even be a year ago, stopped supporting these platforms. So they are, in computer terms, well over 7-8 years old and sort of ancient in a way; and Microsoft itself stopped supporting it, which presents number one is an obsolescence challenge as well as some technical challenges for developing for those platforms.

But really we are focused on preparing for increased revenue right now and a lot of the decisions that come about--and this is where member feedback comes in real handy-- is that a lot of it is a cost benefit question. When we make an improvement, for instance a Linux Viewbar, we have to not only make sure that it covers the cost of developing and maintaining that Viewbar but that the new members that come in due to that improvements can also achieve those distributions so that they are bringing enough money so that the distributions are sustainable for these new members and that it makes sense so that the revenues increase in way that the distributions increase to all members.

So, if you really think about it we are making decisions with the community’s money to try in bring more money into the community and we have to take that very seriously.  And we have to think hard on how we make those decisions. If it is a good use of member money or if it is not a good use of member money and there is just no free lunch unfortunately.

Mike Klingler:

That makes a lot of sense and this is a little bit connected, I was going to ask you about what people have asked – the languages, Ad serving in other languages. Is that something that it’s going to be a little bit out there before we see?

Click Here to Win 25 Direct Agloco Referrals!

Brian Greenwald:

Ad serving in other languages really depends on the deals that we make.  I think I mentioned in my last post that the companies that we are working with now are hoping to have the capability of serving ads targeted at other non- US countries, some non US countries, by the end of the summer. So we are hoping that that pans out.

As far as other languages go it’s going to depend on the deals that we’re able to make and it could be as soon as a few months from now. But we hope that those happen fast. There is the other issue, of course, of full support in several languages, and I’ve had a couple of members offer to translate e-mails and translate the sign up page and this is all really appreciated and it’s a good idea.

The reason why we haven’t taken members up on that and why we operate in English and Chinese is because we have full support in English and Chinese and if we have  a sign up page in German for instance or  in Portuguese then it’s  reasonable for that member reading this page in Portuguese to expect “Hey I am signing up in Portuguese they  should be able to communicate with me in Portuguese,  they should be able to answer my questions and e-mails in Portuguese and they should be able to provide full member support in this language”.

Again there is some cost benefit questions, and there are some scaling questions in the fact that we are really focusing on revenue now and it would just be irresponsible to put people in that position. So right now if you sign up in English or Chinese you can expect that in those languages we will give you full support.

Mike Klingler:

That makes sense. A lot of people have asked about where you guys are registered-- where you guys are operating from? Some people speculated Hong Kong. Can you answer to that?

Brian Greenwald:

Yes. Agloco is incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. I don’t know the specific reason for that; I believe were incorporated before I even joined but I think a lawyer based the decision, and my best guess--I’ve actually not asked much about that-- but my best guess is that the laws there are more favorable to enabling us to pay members. That is all a speculation but we are trying to keep from spending too much money on office expense, etc. So if you wanted to visit our office in Hong Kong really the only thing we could offer is a cup of coffee at our lawyers’ office there.

So, our team is spread out, our member support team is in the Philippines, our tech team is in Shanghai as I talk about on the blog and most of the business team is in California and Silicone Valley.

Mike Klingler:

It’s very modern start up company.

Brian Greenwald:

Oh, yeah. (Laughter) And right now I am on the East coast of the US, traveling all over so we are all over the place.

Mike Klingler:

Probably you’re heading somewhere differently tomorrow.

You don't have to be 'pro-Agloco' to profit from it.  Nor do you have to be a nay-sayer.

Most bloggers just don't understand how Agloco has ALREADY made a ton of money for many people.  Even if Agloco never flies, there are hundreds of people who will make exponentially MORE money every month and every year going forward because of all the free traffic they've received by writing about Agloco on their blogs.

For example, look at Trader's Narrative.  This guy is rated #2 on Google for the key word, "Agloco," right after www.agloco.com itself.

This search engine ranking continues to bring him thousands of new hits a day to his site.  And as Agloco grows he only stands to do better!

But he doesn't support Agloco.  He is making an incredible living (from all the free traffic) off of an article that disses Agloco big-time. 

His now 'famous' article is called What Everyone Ought to Know About Agloco.  I wrote a rebuttal here at this blog because his points are completely invalid, but it appears to make sense if you haven't studied Agloco's web site and business plan.  Of course, his 'negative' article was designed for the purpose of rating high on the search engine.  He got dugg!  This brought him to the top of the search engines for the key word Agloco and the rest is history.  It's made his life! 

I'm not sure what he'll do if Agloco succeeds--I think he'll just continue to diss it and stay on top of the engines!  He's making a killing.  I've seen others do this as well.

Then you have the opposite side of it--like John Chow.  His blog grew wings and flew straight to the top of the search engine ranks last November by devoting just one page on his blog to promoting Agloco.  He has stayed there at the top even though he doesn't talk on his blog much at all about Agloco anymore.  He doesn't have to.  He positioned himself, got tons of links and sits in a very good position.  Now making a six-figure income off all the traffic (about 200,000 visits a month now).

People are still totally missing the power of Agloco.  It's much MORE than just getting paid to surf the net. It's more than just the money one can create from referring others.  It's an opportunity to align yourself (and your blog) with a long-term, slow but steady growing company that is playing it smart.  (I will explain how they are playing it smart here in a minute).

By aligning your blog with Agloco, by adding a page about it, negative or positive, you are positioning yourself with a company that can bring you tons of free traffic!  Their innovative idea is creating a growing interest even before it's even gotten started.  They are showing many positive indications that they will succeed--namely, they're taking their time (a good sign and a great opportunity to position your blog now).

Imagine what it could bring you if you are positioned when it gets off the ground!

Imagine the spike of traffic if they announce the first checks are being sent out!

And if it fails?  Well, say in your blog it might.  Say what you will.  Say anything at all.  Play it really safe and say it could go either way.  But say Agloco in your blog and you stand to win big either way!

Here is why Agloco management is REALLY smart, in my opinion (and why it could be a HUGE pay-off to those who align their blog with it--even if you never sign up with them).

They are growing the company with very little expense.  They are doing this to prove to the market (later) that they don't have to throw a bunch of money at the members to make this work.  That is what All Advantage did.  Alladvantage was successful because it threw money at the membership.  Agloco is proving it isn't necessary in order to make this work.  Respect them.  It's smart what they are doing.

Whether you think it will fail or prevail, the model is innovative.  The fact that they are spending very little money to prove it can be profitable shows their long-term commitment. 

No matter what, if you align yourself with Agloco, you stand to win big.  Free traffic at the very least.  Tons of ongoing free traffic, indefinitely at the most, with a cherry on top if you build a network!

If you don't have a blog, I suggest you start one.  Use Agloco as your springboard.  For example, I knew nothing about blogging 25 days ago.  Literally--nothing.  Zilch.  That's why I use squarespace to build my blog.  It's a no-brainer.  Now I get over 150 unique visitors to my blog DAILY.  I have over 500 subscribers to my journal.  I make over $5 a day on Google Adsense just 3 weeks into this and I haven't a clue how I even got the Google code pasted in this site!  I know $5 a day isn't enough to live on.  But what would you say if it multiplies to $50 a day or more?  After just 3 weeks I think it's pretty amazing easy money.  So again, if you don't have a blog, get one.

If you do have a blog, throw up a page on Agloco.  Say what  you want about it.  Just say Agloco!  Tell the truth, as you see it.  Tell 'em you don't know anything about.  Build upon it.  Position yourself.  If Agloco has any success, you could leverage it big-time.

Listen to an audio interview with co-found, Brian Greenwald, about how they plan to lead the charge to change the net.

Literally hundreds of thousands of brand NEW home-based business opportunity seekers sign up each week to make money from home and online.  Oh yes, the Internet money making industry is BOOMING! 

For good reason, people always want the easy way out!  

And while we know that the get-rich-quick schemes are not what they market themselves to be, what about the rest of the Internet money making opportunities out there?

People will always read more into a business or money making opportunity than is really there--that's just human nature--but some good opportunities DO exist on the Internet that can start making money.

Some of these are long-term business opportunities, while others give instant pay outs or compensation.

Google Adsense has been a consistent way that many people have made some real money on the Internet.  The idea of blogging for cash has really caught on. 

People seek SEO (search engine optimization) and try to get tons of Internet traffic and then cash in and collect income while site visitors click on Google ads at their website or blog.  While this can generate a lot of money, you also have to have a lot of traffic.

So another way people have started to make money online is selling information about how to do it!  This is a legitimate market and it only makes sense. 

You want to learn how to get more traffic to your site because more Internet traffic is more money for you.  You want to learn how to monetize your website or blog, right?  Because there's no need for a lot of traffic if you don't cash in on it. 

So the people who start their own Internet business to make money online literally go out there and create more business for others who sell them information on how to do it!  The affiliate marketing industry and web sites that cator to selling affiliate information online (like www.Clickbank.com) are examples of how incredibly lucrative this Internet money making arena has become. 

By the way, everyone should be looking at Google Adsense and Affiliate marketing as ways to make money online.  I suggest purchasing information to get started.  I suggest this one (click here) if you don't know of any.

Or, do a search online for 'make money blogging ebooks' or 'making money on the Internet ebook' and you'll find many to choose from that are great to get you started to create or monetizing your own blog, improve SEO (search engine ranking), or improve any other areas that increase traffic to your site and blog, and increate the income it makes for you.

Back to the subject:

Then there are all of these other types of programs out there.  There are the get paid to surf, get paid to fill out forms, get paid to fill out surveys, and the list goes on.  Many people saw Agloco as fitting into this category but I didn't.

Typical Pay to surf money making programs are created to do just that--pay you to surf--immediately compensating you for your time online and for those you refer.  Agloco has similarities to this business model, definitely.  But the typical pay to surf program starts and ends there.  They are designed to be instant gratification.  And everyone knows that anything that is designed to be instantly gratifying won't pay very much and probably won't last very long.  There may be some 'good' pay to surf programs out there, but none of them would interest me. 

Agloco represents a major change taking place on the Internet.  It's a much larger vision for the Internet and it's about positioning oneself in that future.  Agloco is preparing for a future Internet where users get a piece of the cashflow created by their presence online everywhere they go and with everything they do!  The viewbar that Agloco has created is simply the means to create this opportunity to literally 'own the Internet' as they say.

Yes, Agloco offers a way to get paid for surfing the net, but it's much much more than just this.  With Agloco, they are building a platform to pay money to users for every action they take online that creates income.  For example, when you do a search on Google (or other search platforms) through the viewbar revenue is generated.  When you buy something revenue is generated.  When you download software.  When you join another online community.  When you offer your personal information in any way to anyone online, value is created and money is exchanged.  Through the viewbar, Agloco is setting out to lead the charge for change online where each user gets to earn money as they do everything that creates value online. 

Agloco management, then, is in charge of brokering the deals for us.  That's the process they have started.  Listen to Brian Greenwald's interview for more on this.  Or, read the transcript (next article in this blog).

So comparing Agloco to a typical pay-to-surf or 'get paid for filling out surveys' type business is not accurate.  Agloco is a bigger vision and it will take more time to put it all together.  Nobody can know for sure where it will lead but it is definitely exciting to watch.  I've even chosen to take part in it by referring other members and taking part in building the membership to increase my potential for compensation as the Agloco community gains more power online.  Why not?  It's free to be a part of this so there's no risk on my part (except a little time like I burn when I watch TV).

And that lead us into the next part of this discussion.  Agloco is definitely not an MLM company in any sense of what network marketing or MLM companies have ever been.  MLM or network marketing companies have always had to sell a product.  By their very nature an MLM or network marketing company could not exist without a product. 

An MLM company would be a pyramid scheme or ponzi scheme without a product because it would be taking money for nothing--like a chain letter.  But Agloco doesn't sell a product at all.  And they don't need to take in any money or members (they get the money from advertisers), which completely revolutionizes the idea of leverage through referral marketing.  The only thing Agloco has in common with MLM or network marketing is the positive aspect of it--that it allows you to build a huge organization (or referral network) that gives you leverage for more compensation as it grows over time.

This is what co-founder, Brian Greenwald means when he has said, "Agloco is not a get rich quick scheme."  He means it's a revolutionary idea that is brand new and will therefore require time to build.  But the reward can be tremendous for anyone who decides to go for it and help build the community.

So why not?

Part 1 of a 3-part transcript:

(Brian is answering to the question about how he found Agloco and why he chose to get involved):

Brian answers:

A.K. Mavani approached me and I thought it was a really neat idea. And the biggest reason for that is a lot of ideas that come out of Stanford—a lot of business ideas that you see in the valley—are small improvements on current technologies or new ways of doing existing things; but this is really an idea that has the potential to not only change an industry but really an entire mindset on the Internet.

So A.K. approached me and he was telling me a little bit about Internet economics. He was telling me that all over the net companies are making a ton of money off the average Internet user. And for a while that was fine. For a while a free search engine was good enough.

But now with the explosion of capital into Internet business and the personal information companies are using to generate this wealth, free isn’t good enough anymore. Free has become too expensive. And, really, what you are seeing is that Internet users all over the world are waking up and realizing how valuable they really are. And we’ve seen evidence of this sort of revenue sharing revolution all over the web.

Big Internet companies are just starting to do it. Companies like Microsoft and YouTube, and the like, have been talking about it. And I think they also see it’s a real competitive advantage to realize early that this is where the Internet is going.

Click Here to Win 25 Direct Agloco Referrals!

Not only have companies been involved, but you’ve probably seen some web publications talking about Agloco and revenue sharing. We were written up in Red Herring in the Economist Technology Quarterly back in March. And actually, something I haven’t really posted yet, the French newspaper, Le Monde, just wrote an article about us within the past week. I’ll probably post a link to that in the next blog post I write.

But the point is that it looks like everyone’s waking up to this new reality and it’s only a matter of time before it becomes common sense. And A.K. basically offered me an opportunity to get involved in this whole idea and be a part of what is leading the charge for change. And what was really unique to me about Agloco, besides being able to lead the opportunity, was the business model. As far as I know it’s pretty unique. I know it was created to try and embody the fairness that we purport to try and create on the Internet.

For instance, members don’t only get a piece of the money companies make from their activities but they own the company and get a big piece of the upside potential. It’s fair because active members—those who surf more hours—get more. Those who refer other members to the service, providing the community with its most valued asset, also get more. To me, that’s fair and that’s a large reason why we’re set up the way we are. And partially a large reason why I thought it was a really neat type of company to join because it embodies those ideals.

I’ll share another personal point of view; something that I’ve developed through some time reading member comments, and posts, and writing the blog. I’ve seen some members refer to Agloco as a Multi-level system. While there are certainly some multi-level aspects to the referral system, I personally don’t think of Agloco as anything like a ‘multi-level-marketing.’

And there are a couple of reasons for that. One is that we’re not really selling a product. We’re inviting Internet users to join for free—a community of individuals who believe in this revolution; who believe that Internet users are valuable. People who believe their screen space is valuable sort of like a billboard is, and that they should be compensated when companies put advertisements on their personal space, on their personal screen, on their personal billboard. People who want a personally customized experience on the Internet. People who believe that their personal information is valuable and should also simultaneously be kept private. And the viewbar is the medium through which the community can achieve all this.

We also hope that as we continue to improve the functionality of the viewbar it’ll have more and more everyday uses in addition to providing this customized Internet experience, revenue sharing, etc.—those things that I mentioned.

Really, getting involved and the opportunity to push this new mindset forward, which really I think is inevitable, I just think it’s just a matter of time before somebody does it—It’s a really neat thing and it’s a big challenge. And it’s things like that that make me want to get involved and wake up in the morning and go to work.

Mike Klingler:

Well absolutely. It’s exciting. It’s exciting to watch. I’m sure you guys are running around getting a lot of things done. I know the last update you mentioned something pretty exciting—a new network. Can you kind of share and give an update on where that’s at.

Brian replies:

Sure, and pardon me if I talk and ramble on a bit. I really do get excited by a lot of these things.

Mike responds:

No, absolutely; feel free.

Brian continues:

Let me back up a little bit to the viewbar launch. We expected to have unexpected issues as it were. The first couple of weeks after the viewbar launch we were really taking steps to improve the problems that we saw in the wake of the launch, which were website stability. We fixed that by moving the download to Tucows.com. We improved the viewbar by fixing some of the major bugs that members had been facing, and we’ve been trying to get ads rotating, which was an interesting challenge for us probably for two main reasons.

The first was that a lot of the errors and problems with the ad rotation were coming from the ad server side. So it’s a little bit of this helpless feeling that we can help out and do the best we can but if the ad server is the one with the problem or the issues are coming from that end there’s not always something that we can do, and some companies don’t always work at quite the ‘start-up’ pace so we had to adjust to that.

And second, only some members were experiencing the issues. And if anyone out there’s worked in computer programming you probably know that it’s almost preferred that everyone experience the problem rather than some people because it makes the bug a lot easier to isolate and to fix.

So really what we were doing at first was we were getting all of those things worked out. And I talked about that in one or two of my blog posts. I also mentioned that we have, as I see it, three major phases we go through—with some overlap. And we hope to go through these in the next couple of months and really make a ton of progress.

The first, I just mentioned is getting things stable. And I think we’ve made a lot of progress in that and done a pretty good job. There’s still a little ways to go. Part of the problem is that the ads are still not rotating for ALL members.

Click Here to Win 25 Direct Agloco Referrals!

That leads into the second element, which is maximizing the viewbar revenue. And the third, which I may talk about a little later, is paying distributions to members. And of course, there is some overlap between these three phases that I see upcoming in the near future. Obviously, improvements to the revenue stream will continue to come after member distributions begin, etc.

As members had experienced, the ad server had some trouble handling the load we’d been sending them. We first tried starting off with an ad rotated every 30 seconds. And we had to cut back to reduce the load on the server. I believe now we serve an ad every 3 minutes. And also, some members are continuing to experience problems with that ad rotation.

And these issues, as well as difficulties with integrating more ad networks, and our ad targeting capability—I think some members may recall the delays this caused through part of April and May—it’s really made us rethink some elements of our strategy.

And as a start-up—one of the things I actually learned in business school was that—it’s having a plan [that] is important but being flexible and being able to make the right decisions once the unexpected comes, because it surely will, is very important.

So we went ahead and did that. And in my last blog post I announced that we’ll be switching systems, which should do a couple of things for us.

First, the ad server should be much more robust and scalable—eliminating some of the quality issues that have come about. Second, we should be able to put in that ad targeting system. That, in combination with improved revenue deals (flying all over the country to locate) should all improve revenues tremendously. So we’re real excited about that.

The new system we hope should be out within a couple of weeks, and simultaneously we’re pursuing those additional revenue deals. Unfortunately, I can’t release the details of those. I think that it’s sort of common that companies don’t release this sort of information a lot of times because it’s the type of information competitors and even future negotiating partners might be very interested in knowing. And, while I’d love to tell members all about the details of everything that’s going on—I really would love to—unfortunately, there’s not really a good way to tell members without also telling potential competitors.

Mike Klingler:

Right. There was something that you brought up that I’d like to touch upon. A lot of people, of course, they want to know the play-by-play, step-by-step what’s going on—on the inside—and that’s very understandable everyone’s excited. But with all the things that you guys have going on, I just want to bring out one of the issues were people have wanted to see you more in the blog communicating on a regular basis. But that takes a lot of time away from what you’re doing right now everyday—building the revenue and meeting people to make these things happen. Can you kind of just address that real quick?

Brian Greenwald:

Yah, sure. And for all those listening, Mike and I had a brief conversation last night to prepare for this and I mentioned to him so I’ll sort of announce it now. I will probably be spending a lot more time on the revenue side of things trying to make money for the community as I pursue different deals. And that takes up a lot of time so I will be changing my role a bit on the blog.

This is something I’ll announce on the next blog post. I’ll continue to supervise the blog but different members of the development team may write different posts at different times.

So you can still address all your complaints to me and I’ll take a look at them. But it turns out that writing the blog does take a lot of time—particularly because it’s not just reading and writing, but it’s trying to be sensitive to all the member concerns and addressing them within Agloco or on the blog. I think that there’s been a lot of addressing within Agloco and I’ve had to keep on top of what’s going on in all different parts of the company.

I think it’s about time, now that the viewbar is launched, and we’re getting these revenue partners in line, that I need to get my head down a little bit more into the trenches and make sure that the revenue is realized so that we can start paying members as quickly as possible.

People have done a lot of thinking, crying, cheering, planning, writing and talking about Agloco.  From good, bad, ugly to the optimistic, we've seen and heard it all!

But really - at this early stage - it's quite easy to know what to do (or not do) with this unique opportunity.

We can't know the future!  We can't know exactly how much Agloco will end up paying per hour or even if they'll be a success.  There are never guarantees in business, but the reality is if Agloco is a sustainable success, you will benefit if you have a growing network of members.

So if you like the concept of Agloco, set yourself up to win if it succeeds. 

Don't invest too much into it.  Don't allow your mood to be affected by the ups and downs of these early development days.  Simply set yourself up to have an Agloco account that grows everyday from your extended referrals.  Once you have that in place, just sit back, participate where you can... and that's it! 

As I've mentioned before, it only took a short time before several members of my team had networks that now grow daily and we didn't use marketing strategies.  We did what anyone can do.  So if you need help getting referrals, just do what our team did.  See Get More Referrals at this website and just get it done!

If you already have your Agloco business set up on auto pilot and you're growing each day, sit back and relax.  Participate and assist where you can. 

If you don't believe in Agloco's concept or the progress is just too slow for you, then decide you'll miss it.  That's OK too. 

But if you don't want to risk missing it, make sure you're set up to win!  The risk is very small (just 40 hours or less total) and the potential pay off over the long-run is tremendous if it succeeds (even if the payout is low)! 

There’s nothing wrong with writing a ‘bash article’ about a new business concept to get a ton of search engine traffic and website exposure. But let’s set the record straight about Agloco.

The future is always rocky for any start-up, and Agloco is no exception!  But there is a lot going for this powerhouse potential--and anyone interested in anything 'business' should watch closely.

If you search for the keyword, Agloco, there's a good chance you'll run into the article called, “Agloco: What Everyone Ought to Know About It.”

As you read along, you can almost hear air hissing from the tires of optimistic promoters who planned to upgrade the Taurus to a Lexus by mid-summer. I agree that’s not going to happen. But the gloomy picture so eloquently painted by the author, clearly an SEO artist, isn’t at all accurate either.

I’m going to provide an actual foundation supporting some real possibilities for Agloco; while poking fat holes in the assumptive article, “Agloco: What Everyone Ought to Know About It.”

The main premise of the article that is completely incorrect is that people joined Agloco to get shares in the company, and that the company’s success rises or falls on the stock.

If you visit the Agloco company blog you will see that the greatest interest for members is how much money they can receive from the revenue sharing proposition Agloco offers (not from the stock).

The Article, “Agloco: What Everyone Ought to Know About It,” missed that discussion entirely! And that should be the main point!

So when you look at the illustration (see the 'money flow' diagram at the article, “Agloco: What Everyone Ought to Know About It,”) see that it is missing the entire point and focusing instead on shares, which has nothing to do with whether or not Agloco will be profitable (or whether or not members will be rewarded with monthly profit sharing).

Even if Agloco NEVER went public, the members who have downloaded the viewbar are eager to get a portion of the monthly revenue generated by Agloco from advertisers.

Now if Agloco is able to distribute shares, that’s just icing on the cake. We’ll come back to that.

Let’s first take a look at the most important discussion about Agloco that the article, “Agloco: What Everyone Ought to Know about It,” missed entirely.

The biggest question to ask is, “Can Agloco become profitable? The stock has nothing to do with this question.

If Agloco is profitable what do the members have to gain?

Let’s see…

Before we begin, let’s emphasize that it is FREE to join up with this innovative concept! Since it is completely free to be involved, I find it real interesting that there would be any need for caution whatsoever!

But let’s continue…

Can Agloco become profitable and get into a position where they could share their monthly profits with members?

Let’s look at Google. Everyone knows Google is extremely successful as a company. One of Google’s most profitable sources of revenue is obviously online advertising. So it’s not an experiment anymore.

In fact, we have seen that any company that gathers a large audience is potentially a major value in business. YouTube, even before generating large profits, was purchased for over a billion because of all the eye balls it attracted each day. Those eye balls are valuable for one reason: Advertiser WILL pay to be seen.

Now imagine that there is a viewbar on 10 million people’s computer screens, in front of their eye balls every time they sit down at their desk, displaying advertising REGARDLESS of what website they are surfing.

Agloco collects revenue no matter what website people are visiting because the ads are always there at the bottom of their screen!

You might want to read those last two paragraphs again and compare it to any other advertising model. As you can see, Agloco has some real smarts behind their game plan.

Now imagine that Agloco has permission to monitor what types of websites you are interested in so the ads are related to the user’s interests. Will advertisers pay more money for that? You bet they will.

But there’s more…

There are search features on the viewbar that create revenue for Agloco.

If someone purchases affiliate related products it’s additional revenue for Agloco.

The model offers a multitude of other opportunities for revenue for Agloco, all on a viewbar that’s in front of 10 million+ eyeballs at ALL times, not just when they visit a certain website!

But the article, “What Everyone Ought to Know About Agloco,” didn’t even discuss the fact that Agloco has an extremely powerful model for revenue and profits, and that this will be shared monthly with the people who downloaded the viewbar (for free)!

And if you think the example of 10 million people having the viewbar is unrealistic, think again! Agloco already has over 1.25 million registered members. It’s growing at a record pace. Members seem to be very understanding that if they give the management some time to build up the company, they will be rewarded.

And they WILL be rewarded!

Why would Agloco NOT want to reward people for having the viewbar?

Think about this for just a moment…

Members can get rid of the viewbar at any time (it’s designed so that you can get rid of it in a flash). In other words, the people who download the viewbar are the ones in control… ALWAYS. They can’t be tricked. If, at any moment, the members feel tricked, POOF… they remove the viewbar with a click.

And that’s why this model works.

So this entire discussion about Shares is secondary. But let’s get into that.

I’m going to directly address a bunch of nonsense comments in the ever-so-eloquent article, “Agloco: What Everyone Ought to Know About It.”

First of all, SEC regulations do NOT govern share distribution for stock exchanges outside of the United States. Agloco never stated they were offering shares from a United States exchange. They mentioned London.

Let’s also remember that it’s common for start-up companies to offer shares to those who help build a company, such as CEOs, CFOs, various employees, etc (even when the company is just starting up and before they are public). The article wanted us to believe that was a new idea!

In fact, long before a company ever generates revenue, the founding members often discuss shares as part of their future reward. When I worked for a start-up company it was a private company, not public. But one day we dreamed it would be public and we discuss how the shares would be divided between us founding members. It is not uncommon for shares to be discussed as a reward to those who are part of a company that plans to go public in the future.

Here’s another one…

The article suggests that there would be a big sell off of the Agloco stock and the price will plummet. Did we forget that there are many different types of shares that can be offered?! It is very common that shares awarded to founders of companies and early employees cannot be sold immediately upon being available in the market.

Let’s remind ourselves again: Agloco offers members a profit sharing opportunity EVEN if the company never goes public. So this entire ridiculous discussion about shares is secondary.

The author of, “Agloco: What Everyone Ought to Know About It,” misses the mark so off-target it’s NOT possible he was aiming for it.

The article acted as though Agloco management had an incentive to screw the members!! It’s ridiculous. They have set up the entire business model to put power in the hands of their members.

So why wouldn’t Agloco do everything possible to fulfill the vision they have set out to fulfill? It’s in their best interest to follow through on their plan as best they can… Just as any start-up company with a great idea does.

Again, if at any moment the members are unhappy, they can get rid of the viewbar. The individual holds all the power in their palm, with their mouse. Once click and the viewbar is gone. Agloco has to share the company’s success with the members.

The article, “Agloco: What Everyone Ought to Know about It,” makes so many mistakes in its assumptions it’s hard to take them seriously. For example, the article contends that the founders would want to rightfully get a return on their risk capital before paying anyone else and this was another reason to expect to be screwed.

But it clearly states in the Agloco website that the Agloco management team gets 10% of the extra revenue while the members who downloaded the free viewbar get 90%. If management gets paid so do the members!

But this gloomy line of logic continues…

In a follow up article, “Agloco: The Beginning of the End,” the same author asks, “How many of the Agloco pumpers and ‘members’ would go to work at a company that said, Sure, we’ll hire you, but you’ll have to work for months and months… we really can’t say how long… without pay. But we’ll give you a salary just as soon as there is a comfortable balance between revenues and expenses.”

He didn’t end that with a question mark but I’ll assume it was a question and I’ll answer it here:

Most people would NOT be able to work for a start-up company under that circumstance. But some people do work for start-ups in those circumstances. Many of the most successful companies we know were started by people who did NOT get paid in the early days. And the Agloco team is no exception! Those who work at Agloco have worked for months and months with no pay.

And the members can just join in for free by downloading a viewbar!

The risk is minimal (or even ZERO) for the members. The risk is high for the management team who has worked for months and months with no pay… and the members will get paid at the same time the management team does! So it’s interesting that a bash article would pose that particular question!

Additional note:

Vaporware? I don’t think so! The viewbar is released and on the computers of hundreds of thousands of people (the 1.25+ million members are downloading it each and every day after getting their email saying they can now download). The number of new members is growing each day as well.

I’m just going to stop here. The article, “Agloco: What Everyone Ought to Know about It,” is just silly.

Sure, Agloco has a lot of challenges as any start-up that is growing this fast would have. It’s an innovative idea for sure.

But it’s free to join and take part in it – so there is no need to be overly cautious here as you would be when investing in stock!

And the members are here for the profit sharing. Agloco is showing many impressive signs that it’s a sound profitable concept. And for a number of reasons it’s in the best interest of Agloco to reward their members.

How could you miss that point entirely?!

Stock would be icing on the cake—not a necessity for success!

The management team won’t get paid until the members get paid.

And the members can remove the viewbar with a click—forcing the management to ALWAYS give what they promised.

And the potential for the free member is tremendous!

Let’s get real for once and just admit, sometimes a really amazing cool idea DOES come along!

It’s free, so I ask again, why be cautious HERE??

Partners in progress!
