AGLOCO :: Passive Income to Surf the Net

Post image for AGLOCO :: Passive Income to Surf the Net

by Brian Lee on February 12, 2007 .

Just as I predicted in my November 2006 article, Why Corporations Fear Network Marketing, network marketing is proving to be the advertising model of the future. AGLOCO is the latest company to adapt it.

A Simple Model

The AGLOCO model is very simple and appears to have no downside (my kind of income stream). In short, to join AGLOCO you just download a plugin for your web browser that connects you to the system.

The plugin (which can be turned on and off) uses a small piece of your computer screen to display advertisements. In exchange for exposing yourself to ads, AGLOCO promises to pay you for up to five hours of browsing per month.

Since AGLOCO is still in the beta phase, I can’t report on how much that might be; but, I’d take almost any amount of money for simply giving up a little screen space for only five hours a month.

I think it’s a great idea. We’re exposed to internet ads all the time without any compensation. Why not get paid for something you’re doing already?

My thing is finding passive income streams as a way to achieve the time freedom needed to pursue low-paying creative endeavors. Read Five Ways to Create Passive Income with Little or no Money and Three Steps to Success for Creative Geniuses for a detailed explanation.

AGLOCO is a no-brainer because it’s an easy way to add a passive income stream with hardly any effort.

The Power of Leverage

The most exciting part about AGLOCO (and one of the reasons I’m telling you about it) is this: in addition to getting paid for surfing the web, you also get a portion of the revenue generated by people you refer.

But wait, it gets better! Not only do they pay you a portion of the revenue generated by your referrals, you get a portion of the revenue generated by your referrals’ referrals, and your referrals’ referrals’ referrals, all the way down to five generations!

This is what makes AGLOCO a true network marketing company and gives you the enormous power of leverage. Leverage is what gives you the opportunity to make passive income.

Leverage is the reason why some of the richest home business owners around are network marketers. Here’s why: If you can recruit just a few people who are motivated to recruit others (and why wouldn’t they be? AGLOCO is totally harmless!), they will begin to build an income-producing network for you.

Exponential Growth

The work you did one time (recruiting a few) is now being leveraged by other people. As your network grows, you will make more and more money for less and less work. Since AGLOCO pays on five levels, your leveraging power multiplies expontially with each level.

Here’s an example. Let’s say you recruit 5 people, who each recruit five people (25 total), who each recruit 5 people (125 total), who each recruit 5 people (625 total), who each recruit 5 people (3125 total!). You have just created a network of over 3000 people by leveraging 5! If you could just get paid $1 a month for each person in your network, you’d be making a full time income.

Now, odds are it won’t work out that perfectly, but even a small fraction of this scenario would be worth the very small amount of effort required to recruit a few people. And even if you don’t recruit anyone, you can still get paid a little for doing what you’re doing right now: surfing the web.

Stick it to the Man!

The number one reason I like network marketing (besides the huge money making potential) is that it redirects money away from major corporations and into the hands of hard-working, entrepreneurial consumers. Why wouldn’t you support your friends, family, and peers instead of anonymous major corporations?

Here’s a great example: I joined AGLOCO as a result of a referral from John Wesley. When you join my AGLOCO network, you will not only be supporting me, but also John (because he gets a portion of the revenue generated by my referrals)! I don’t know who referred John, but I bet he’ll comment on this post and then I’ll update you!

Blogger’s Paradise

AGLOCO is perfect for bloggers. Since we already have a network of readers, blogging is the perfect way to spread the word and increase your network. If you aren’t a blogger, you should be! Read How to Blog :: The Manual to get started.

Email Marketing

Blogging isn’t the only way to build your AGLOCO network. The easiest way I can think of is to just send an email to people you know. If I were you, I’d keep it short and sweet and send them a link to this post to explain it for you. (Make sure they use your referral number instead of mine so you get the credit!)

Here’s the link to this page: http://geniustypes.com/2007/business/agloco_passive_income_to_surf_the_net/

Word of Mouth

Another way is just to tell the people around you. You could just walk around your office and direct people to this post and then to the AGLOCO sign-up page with your number.

You might also think about promoting your network on MySpace, Facebook, or any of the other countless social networking sites out there.

I Hope You Join our Network!

Please support John Wesley and I by joining our network! It’s totally harmless and it gives you a chance to add an income stream for something you’re already doing. Even if you don’t feel like referring anyone, it still makes sense to get paid! If someone referred you to this page, return to their email and use their referral link to sign up.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how it works or how to market it. I wish you the best of luck, and welcome to AGLOCO!

So John, is it safe to say that if people sign up using my links, they will be supporting both you and John Chow?

2 John Wesley February 12, 2007 at 8:10 am

Gotta love that AGLOCO. I actually first heard about it on John Chow’s blog. I was skeptical at first, but after he wrote about how he made $25,000 from AllAdvantage (the first incarnation of this idea) I realized it was too good to pass up.

If you have a blog, posting about AGLOCO basically grows your network without much work at all.

I can’t wait until the viewbar comes out in mid March and AGLOCO starts generating income.

3 Brian February 13, 2007 at 1:38 am

I agree, Jon. AGLOCO is a wildcard.

The reason I feel comfortable recommending it is that there is really no downside except for giving up a little ad space on your computer for five hours a month, and even that can be turned on and off.

If they were asking people to put up a bunch of money to get in, or somehow spamming or hijacking computers, I wouldn’t mess with it.

But they’re not, so I’m with you: it’s definitely worth a try, and I’m cautiously optimistic.

4 Jon February 13, 2007 at 1:26 am

I doubt this business model will be sustainable long-term, unless the AGLOCO company is _REALLY GOOD_ at selling their adspace to careless advertisers. Most advertisers will simply find that it’s extremely difficult to achieve a positive ROI through this channel.

Still, I agree it’s worth trying :)

I’m not sure about long-term either…but even if Agloco holds up for 1 year…many will make a good sum of money from it.

Shin, thanks for joining my AGLOCO network. As long as you have your referral link (found when you log in), you can refer people. AGLOCO has sparked a lot of interest and the servers must be a little overwhelmed.

7 Shin March 29, 2007 at 12:11 am

I wrote my agloco join informations the day before yesterday;

But I received the email now~.

I think that my refferals couldn’t join because conformation e-mail is too slow.

Do you have plan add more servers?

I liked alladvantage.com but I feel uneasy now.

Seriously, this AGLOCO thing sounds like something from 1999. Those “free service if we can expose you to commercials” never quite worked did they?

9 Brian Lee April 26, 2007 at 2:34 pm

It’s free, so why does it matter?

10 Eric May 26, 2007 at 3:14 am

I came to this blog to learn about passive income, and this sounds like a great temporary stream of it.

I have few readers at my blog, and the blog isn’t really geared towards finances of any kind just yet, so I would feel dirty pushing this link on them.

However, being the poor little kid I am, I’d be glad to help you out (and myself!) by joining your network! I’ve already gleaned a LOT of information from this site and I don’t have the kind of money to come even close to repaying you :-P

11 Brian Lee May 26, 2007 at 1:22 pm

Thanks, Eric.

You know, you don’t need to feel guilty for wanting to make money. Besides, maybe some of your readers are looking for something like this and you could be the one to introduce them.

I try to stick to a policy of honesty. I would feel “dirty” if I was giving out false information in order to make a buck.

Glad to have you in my network!

Man, you’re still in the Internet dark ages, amigo. With a java and flash blocker installed and a very selective whitelist, I haven’t seen an ad online in months. If Agloco wants to stay in business for any length of time, they need to offer something better than a few cents for ads.

I tried agloco but so many people do it already it is hard to refer more poeple. It is hard to make much money by yourself but at least it is free.
