AGLOCO™ - An Economic Network Community

What is the benefit of inviting your friends ?

The big benefit to inviting your friend is, for each hour that your direct and extended referrals surf (currently up to 5 hours/month), you are paid. Be sure to invite as many people as you can because there is no limit on the number of referrals that you can get paid for, and your referrals will not lose any of their earnings in the process.

Build your referral network

Build your network via "viral marketing", you tell your friends and family (which are your direct referrals) and they tell their friends and family (which are your extended referrals).

Not Only Cash, But Shares

As a member you will receive shares in AGLOCO™ based not only on their own use of the Internet, but also based on the usage of all of your referrals. Members with the largest referral networks are most likely to benefit most from the AGLOCO™ community.

Enjoy the strength of a network

Like most networks, the true power of AGLOCO™ (the economic network) grows exponentially as the number of members increases. Likewise, the company (which is 100% member-owned) becomes increasingly valuable as the membership grows. Both you and your friends can share in the wealth of the internet as members of AGLOCO™.

What You'll Be Paid For:

AGLOCO™ Official said,
“As we mention on the website, we pay you for up to five hours of ‘active browsing’. That’s because when you are actively surfing the web, you are providing value for AGLOCO™, and this is what AGLOCO™ pays you for. At present it will be defined as the Member 1) Having a browser as the active application on your screen and 2) Showing some activity. We set the monthly limit to five hours, low enough that we felt the vast majority of Internet users would have no difficultly reaching it. The Viewbar™ will become useful even when not actively surfing, but not very many of those features will be in version 1.0.

The reason for this is that, in order for AGLOCO™ to make sense economically, it needs to know that its Viewbar™ communications are going to people who are actively engaged with their ‘screen’ and the Internet. There is no ‘free lunch’ in the real economy and AGLOCO™ will not be the exception to this. In order to have money to distribute to Members, AGLOCO™ will need to have revenue coming in. The website gives a nice overview of this and I blogged about one channel of revenue “transactions” a couple of weeks ago.

So, things like chatting on a website, surfing the net, or playing an Internet game are almost always going to be time towards the five hours. VOIP is a bit different. You could use VOIP and not be engaged with your screen (and with remote Skype phones you might not even be in the same room). So VOIP by itself without some evidence that the Member is engaged with their screen would probably not qualify toward the five hours. After Viewbar™ 1.0 we will test how effective the Viewbar™ is when people are on IM and some other non-browser programs that connect to the Internet, and if it is effective we will add that as well. But because the total monthly hours is now set at only 5 we did not think it would be much of a burden to collect these hours using your browser.

It seems that we can do a better job of making this clear, so we will work to add the ‘active surfing’ definition in a more prevalent website location. Thanks for pointing out the potential area of confusion.”

Thanks again to our Members for continuing the great questions and comments!

How You'll Be Paid:

Forms of Payments to Members: AGLOCO™ will make cash payments to Members in various forms, always trying to minimize costs and balance that with Member convenience. Forms should include bank-to-bank (ACH), PayPal (and similar), credit to cards (like VISA), and checks in the mail. We will also try to pay in local currencies wherever possible (I heard the question on eGold and I do not have the answer yet).

Viewbar™ Status: Here’s the quick report. The good news is that the Viewbar™ release is currently slated for March. And the bad news is the Viewbar release is currently slated for March.

Obviously, I have two minds when it comes to this. I really want the Viewbar™ out there. I want Members to start using it. I want advertisers and online merchants using it. And I want to start generating revenue for Members and the company.

On the other hand, I also want more time to get ready for the Viewbar™. As a part of the AGLOCO™ Revenue team, I want to have more time to get more agreements in place so the Viewbar™ makes more money even at the start.

Have a great day!
