You see in this busy internet world we practically live in, we don’t have time to read long pages and long ads unless we know how to write from the get go something that is going to keep the readers attention and ….. it won’t! It won’t because everyone is different and has different tastes. So, keep it brief, keep it to the point, state :

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME ?

Agloco will pay you.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET PAID ?

Simple. Download a viewbar. You will be paid up to 5 hours of your time online every month.

HOW CAN I MAKE MORE MONEY ?

Easy. Tell your family, friends, associates. You will be paid a percentage of their time spent online utilizing the viewbar.

I say all this because I see so much stuff out there about Agloco that would make me click off their site in a heartbeat. Also, I think some members may feel they need to go into a long drawn out drama about Agloco. Not so.

If you are going to market…market.
Let people know whats in it for them.
That is really all you need to do.

Amen. Pass the salt.

You Tube takes after the AGLOCO model

Very interesting blog article about YouTube's recent comments about sharing revenue with its users:

Now is the time to start

IMO, the big winners in this membership-based community will be those who worked together to build a reliable tally of referrals meaning those downstream referrals are equally as excited to build their own base and have reliable referrals of their own. When AGLOCO releases the toolbar, everyone will have access to it and begin their own individual referral base, but it will be those who really put in some work to grow their base in a prudent manner who will gain the most.

As their members act on the same principles inevitably they will stand to pick up the most post-release referrals as well. Its a matter of a race - who has the most forward momentum when they start the race (aka toolbar release by AGLOCO) will win in the end.

If you look at the numbers right now, the top referral membership is something like 15,000. The time is ripe for the savvy and motivated.

Patience, grasshopper

The corporate blog for AGLOCO has a new post out today, biding time, making a couple of tweaks here and there - and the natives are getting a little restless. Take a look at a couple of comments:

   people we just wana know when we’re gona get paid. i’ve joined this network since november and i’ve been waiting ever since. i’ve put a stop on recruting until i see results.

   you said you will come up with the bar by like february. isn’t it february already?
   i remember reading clearly that you were making plans for february for the viewbar.

   if it was really coming out in february then im sure you’d be already talking about the launch. instead nothing is really happening other than promoting promoting promoting.

   you know what. i’m out until i see action. i’ll come back in a month or two.

   i’m sure at least 50% of people feel this way so don’t try to bash my comment i know i’m right.

   bye

Mark, I can understand your frustration in wanting the toolbar launched, but I am sure it is not ready yet, nor are they ready on negotiations with advertisers. Like I said, I am a newb, so take it with a grain of salt. This is a great time to build up a base of referrals while it is basically no competition. When they do launch the toolbar, us little guys with blogs will be blown out of the water, unless we outwork them now while the work can be done.

McCall crosses 12,000

Just a point of order. When RZ McCall is lighting cigars with $100 bills, at least we will know how he got there:

12,000 AGLOCO Referrals - Sounds Good to Me
I was of course thrilled to hit 12,000 so early in the year. My stated goal of 20,000 by the end of 2007 seems closer every time I post an increase (seemed like a bit of a stretch back on December 13th when I made the prediction).
 
Many people have asked – How did you get so many total referrals when you only have 82 direct people you recruited? I have been giving advice in many of my previous posts (click here to get the referral advice posts )
 
Today, I want to show the math of the 12,000 referrals as I see them.
 
Line 1 – My Direct recruits = 82
 
Since I know most of them and talk frequently to some of the more active ones for AGLOCO, I know something about this group.
Two of them have more than 1,000 people in their networks. A couple of them have more than 50 Direct recruits. And a few of them “still haven’t started”.
 
Line 2 – My Direct recruits’ Direct recruits – I am guessing around a 7 to 8 recruit average for a total of about 600 members on that line.
 
The next three lines are even more guesswork, but it is fun to think about how the set up looks and how can I make adjustments accordingly.
 
Line 3 – If the 600 second line members average 3 to 4 recruits each then this line is about 2,000. They are newer to the system and have not had as much time to get motivated etc.
 
Line 4 - If the third line members average just 2 to 3 recruits each then this line is about 5,000. They are even newer to the system this group represents a huge potential to me. If I can get this group to average the 7 to 8 that Line 2 appears to be doing then this group can supply 25,000 to 30,000 more people in my network.
 
Line 5 - If the third line members average just 1 recruit each then this line is about 5,000.
 
Final look (remember – just a guess)
 
Line #1        82
Line #2      600
Line #3   2,000
Line #4   5,000
Line #5   5,000
 
How do I leverage all this to exceed my goals?
 
I think my advice to myself would be the same to someone with 10 directs and only 100 total in their network.
First, over the next 6 months I am going to try to double my Directs (to 160). If the quality of the new recruits is as good as the original 80 then that effort alone should double my results.
 
Second and maybe more importantly, I am going to work with my Directs to get them to double their Directs (or in some cases just start recruiting).  http://mccallsnotes.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9F2891B66EBAA762!427.entry
 
This effort includes giving them emails to send to people who have not yet signed up plus advice on how to get their Directs to recruit.  Here is a link to the sample email I use for second attempts. http://mccallsnotes.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9F2891B66EBAA762!427.entry
 
The real “trick” to getting a huge referral network is getting your Directs motivated and then getting their Directs to do the same thing. This chain reaction can result in amazing results.

The key indeed. Next post will be about alot of other 'things' that some feel is prohibitive to getting people motivated at this time. Fair & Balanced, haha!

Winning at Agloco

Like many of you, I have questions about Agloco, the membership-based websurfing-for-$$ outfit. I became aware of it from my wife, who had already signed up someone and got a referral in less than 4 hours.

What I hope to attempt here is to create a realistic scenario and see if Agloco is worth it, and mainly just follow along for the ride. Comments are welcome, please keep it civil and no spamming of any sort.
