The AGLOCO madness that started in early November seems to be cooling down since the announcement of the Viewbar launch for early spring 2007. A lot of people are reticent to join AGLOCO, from various reasons. The main reason of all was that the program is still in Beta, so why bother to rush in, when it is not clear how much money could one possible earn for his membership and for the referrals he brings into the network.
AGLOCO officials did not make any announcement yet regarding the levels of income that it might generate for the members. Nevertheless, there is a great resource, the Simmons Report, which publishes a thorough analysis of AGLOCO, centered on the amount of personal value an AGLOCO user could get.
Conclusions of the Simmons Report on AGLOCO:
The valuation conclusions are based on AGLOCO reaching two million users in a two year time span:
• A user who has no referrals should receive ownership in AGLOCO worth on average about $150. (plus monthly cash distributions)
• The average value of an AGLOCO user’s referral network should be $30 each in ownership shares plus the referrer’s share of monthly cash distribution.
• The average AGLOCO direct referral should be worth in excess of $3,000 each (see example below for details)
• The analysis also shows a range of monthly cash distributions of between $5 and $15 a month per user.
• The AGLOCO business model looks theoretically sound – (assuming they get to a decent size quickly – at least 500,000 users within nine months to a year)
I applied this to my AGLOCO network: $150 x 1 (this is me) + $30 x 20 (my referrals) = 750$ in ownership shares, plus the shares of monthly cash distributions. It is not much, but I have a small network. You can imagine the value of the network of somebody like McCall, who has just passed 1000 referrals.
McCall is not the only one who’s taking advantage of the early network building: you can see more people alike on this AGLOCO Top Gun list.
The AGLOCO officials state that AGLOCO is an economic network, and
the purpose of an economic network is for the Members to acquire as much of the value they create as possible, and they shouldn’t have to change their Internet usage behavior to get it.
This makes it very simple to be an active AGLOCO member: all you have to do is to have that small viewbar at the bottom of your browser, displaying advertising from the sponsors. This is all. No annoying pop-ups, no obligations to click on any ad, nothing! You just use the Internet as you always did.
If you made up your mind and wish to be one of the early AGLOCO members, I invite you to join my network here.
