AGLOCO - Hot or Not?
The past few months there’s been quite a bit of buzz about AGLOCO among people who are interested in making money online. I don’t really blame them, because AGLOCO promises to deliever everyone an opportunity to make money online without too much effort. All you have to do is install a cool viewbar which will log your online surfing and generate money, and of course recruit as many people as possible below you in the hierarchy, because you will get a share of their earnings as well. Of course this a pretty rough explanation, but you can find out more about AGLOCO in the links that I will refer to later in this post, as well as on their own website.
John Chow, the famous dot com mogul who recently broke into the Technorati top 100 with his blog, just announced that he has over 9000 people below him in his AGLOCO network. This should mean that once you can actually start making money from AGLOCO, John will be in a great position to make a nice buck or two, or even more! John has obviously put a lot of work into this, and it seems that he firmly believes that it will be a nice, if not easy way to make money, because no matter how famous you are online, you don’t get that many people to sign up for something without a bit of effort.
On the other side though, a recent article over at Trader’s Narrative recently received a lot of attention with its negative view towards AGLOCO. The author brings up some very interesting points about AGLOCO and its business model, many of which the team over at AGLOCO have failed to respond to.
Personally, I’m just going to say “Thanks, but no thanks” to AGLOCO. I know a pyramid scheme when I see one, and not even AGLOCO’s biggest follower can claim that it isn’t just that. A product of little or no value (seriously, a viewbar?), the potential revenue comes wholly from the peope that participate, only in this case instead of investing $x dollars, they “invest” ad views, that in turn results in money.
I have no doubts that people like John Chow will make money from AGLOCO, and I commed John for his speech on that if you want to make something of yourself and make money online, you have to go against the nay-sayers. It is completely true, but it is also true that you need to be smart, use common sense, and filter out the things that aren’t worth your time and effort. Just because John Chow believes he can make money from something, it doesn’t mean you should believe that you can make money from the same thing. If something is too good to be true, and says that you can make money without any effort at all, then everyone should have learned by now that it normally is.
I would say that if you want to succeed, you have to create your own path. Ignore the nay-sayers, but ignore the yay-sayers too. Do something that you believe in, and that you enjoy, and success will find you. To all of you who wish to pursue your luck with AGLOCO though, I wish you luck. I’m sure that with a lot of effort, you can actually earn a pretty penny from it. Just like most other things though, it won’t come for free.
