For those of you who need high goals. Here is MCCall. He hit 9,000 in less than two months. Wow, is all I can add.

I will keep putting his blogs here when they contain good advice as this one does.

Just went over 9,000 AGLOCO Referrals

Things have picked up a bit in my referrals in 2007 from the holiday period at the end of 2006.

I am excited to get over 9,000 (my stated goals were 10,000 by the end of February and 20,000 by the end of 2007.

A couple of quick points --  I put a picture of my account summary on this blog (should have done this earlier).

First, as you can see I have been active with friends in adding some direct referrals in 2007 - five this year. I really recommend this to all – including you people with great blogs – to personally recruit people who you think will do great AGLOCO recruiting. These are the people that really produce results.

Second, as I have pointed out before. My 70 direct referrals have produced almost 9,000 extended referrals. That is more than 100 extended referrals per each direct. I know if you get referrals from a website or advertising you can not influence their referral ability (I read that AGLOCO will be adding an opt-in communication system to help a bit with that). But, by adding some people you do know to your direct referral list, you can help them to make more referrals – answer questions etc.

Really important – to get referrals you have to ‘stick your neck out’ and you have to ask people to join – and be prepared for more than half of them to tell you NO (and that you are crazy or stupid to work on this.) – Get over it. Most new ideas are rejected by most people. You are not asking anyone to part with any of their ‘hard earned’ money, so don’t be afraid to stick your neck out.

 Below is a great study on how much an AGLOCO recrutier stands to make if AGLOCO is successful.

Basically, it is $30 per referral in ownership plus cash dividends in two years of $1 per month per referral. I am almost up to 500 total so that would mean $15,000 of equity and $500 a month. Even if Simmons is 5 times too high it would still mean I would get $3,000 - and all I have done is refer a few freinds and asked them to do the same.

Very cool - I encourage you to read the report. Then go out and recruit more for AGLOCO.

AGLOCO

December 6, 2006  SimmonsReport@hotmail.com  

Simmons Report: AGLOCO

Analysis:

 This analysis is centered around the amount of personal value an AGLOCO user could get, with a special focus on a user who is actively referring new users to AGLOCO. Material used included the AGLOCO website (membership agreement, privacy policy, FAQs and general information pages). management interviews, critical blog postings concerning AGLOCO, internet advertising and commerce data, valuations of other Internet communities and the business model economics of Google, Yahoo, MySpace, You Tube, etc.

 Conclusions:

 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)

The cost of recruiting new users to AGLOCO can vary. For many users it is simply sending an email to friends or contacts – or talking to them directly. For others it is blog postings or website notices and for some users paid ads on search engines. The privacy and anti-spam policies of AGLOCO and the track record on these issues of Ray Everett-Church (AGLOCO’s Chief Privacy Officer) makes the risk of getting spam, pop ups and other trash as a user a non issue.

In general, given the low level of work needed to recruit new users to AGLOCO and the zero cost in terms of money, the cost/benefit ratio of recruiting new users to AGLOCO seems to be highly favorable. Because there is no limit as to the number of referrals a user can recruit, the upper end on this opportunity could be high (which means it can be worth putting in the effort to promote actively). This analysis was done two weeks after AGLOCO launched and there have been user postings noting referral networks of 4,000 and 5,000 already. At $30 value each this would be $120,000 to $150,000 so far, which means AGLOCO could make some serious recruiting users a high return on their efforts.

 Referral Example: 

• A user recruits ten people (10 direct referrals) –
• If on average, each direct referral recruits 3 new users (some will recruit many and some none, but the average is 3 for each level of your network) -- Value of 10 referrals $300
• The user would have 30 indirect users one person removed.  – Value of 30 referrals $900
• The user would have 90 indirect users two people removed -- Value of 90 referrals $2,700
• The user would have 270 indirect users three people removed -- Value of 270 referrals $8,100
• The user would have 810 indirect users four people removed  -- Value of 810 referrals $24,300
• Total referrals the user would have in the network would be 1,210.

• At an average value of $30 for each referral the total value would be $36,300

 It should be noted that the AGLOCO referral system achieves two tasks:

• AGLOCO saves all the costs of marketing its services to potential new users. This is sometimes a major cost many Internet companies face. Other network companies like MySpace, Skype and YouTube also achieve this goal of users telling users, but in those cases users do not benefit in the value created by the growth of the user base.
• Users who help build the AGLOCO network are financially rewarded for doing so. Because most the value of network oriented companies is based on the size of the network, it isAGLOCO’s stated goal that the people building the network share in the value they help create. 

Detailed Analysis:

 Business model:

 Three major aspects of the business were analyzed; the people who drive it, the revenues and the expenses. 

1. People
   
• Management ability - – for a start up AGLOCO seems to be pretty good as it has combined experience with raw talent:
  
• The raw talent – is in the form of current Stanford MBAs. AGLOCO is a revenue driven business model – passion and aggressiveness are good attributes to have for part of the team. The average age of a Stanford MBA graduate is 28 years old – these are not just passionate and aggressive, they come with a few years of experience behind them as well.
• The experience – AGLOCO has some – it may need more. Jorgensen was CEO of AllAdvantage, Ray Everett-Church was the Chief Privacy Officer there and Sam Flax was the Chief Architect for technology at AllAdvantage. AllAdvantage grew to over 10 million users and over $30 million in first year revenues. A good fit for on point experience.
• Management reliability - The reality of the internet is such that every new entity should be investigated from this perspective. Below, is why AGLOCO should not raise any Internet scam worries:
  
• There are over 50 people listed on the about page of AGLOCO.
• The ‘development team’ has eight Stanford MBA students – not the type of people who would risk their pedigrees and reputations.
• The ‘development’ team includes two veterans Ray Everett-Church and Jim Jorgensen – both of who are well known enough to have Wikipedia bios.
• The ‘contributors’ include a couple of easy to spot people like; Gil Penchina, CEO of Wikia, Zaw Thet, CEO of 4info and Valerie Williamson a VP the Open Source group OSTG plus a sprinkling of major firm law partners and venture capitalists – not scam types.
• Press interviews – some of the founders have been interviewed by major bloggers (VentureBeat, John Chow, GigaOM, and Red Herring). AGLOCO’s management is out front and visible.
2. Revenue sources– this is the core of the business model. Some revenue sources are very dependant on the size of the user base. Here are the major ones:
• Search revenue – AGLOCO can become a significant source of search volume.  Google gets 40% of its ad traffic from third parties (the biggest one being AOL whom Google pays an average of $0.10 per search). The average Internet user searches over 35 times a month. AGLOCO should be able to capture virtually all search revenue and its users are more likely to be active Internet types (given that the active users are the early adopters who will be the first to find AGLOCO’s proposition appealing ) –  When AGLOCO is of sufficient market size, its search revenue should grow to between $30 and $50+ per user per year
  
• Advertising – the AGLOCO toolbar software is stated to contain a thirty second targeted text ad:
•  The targeting is further defined as being related to the current site a user is on or based on past user behavior or demographic information. AGLOCO also has very granular location information with city and postal code for users. AGLOCO should be able to take advantage of Google, MSN or Yahoo’s ad engines immediately (AdSense, adCenter and ‘Panama’) and during the next two years add a local ad overlay.
• AGLOCO’s available monthly ad inventory should be somewhere between 600 and 1,800 ads a month per user (1 ad per 30 seconds, 120 ads per hour and 600 ads per month given 5 hours or 1800 ads given the more likely scenario of 15 hours surfing per month). With 100% of these ads being available for ‘keyword’ targeting as it now exists. This is substantially more inventory than leaders Yahoo or AOL have and this will definitely increase the attractiveness of the AGLOCO user community for advertisers. 

It is difficult to estimate what ad revenue per user will be two years from now. It should start low and grow substantially over time. A quick starting place for analysis might be a $10 to $25 run rate in this period and much higher later. Targeted keyword CPC rates vary dramatically with Google and Yahoo both averaging over $0.50 per click in search (non-search ads are substantially lower, but do not have AGLOCO multiple targeting.)

• Commissions - Sales commissions (and affiliate fees) should be a substantial source of revenue for AGLOCO. Almost every online merchant pays them. Link Share and Commission Junction each have thousands of companies in affiliate programs. Sales commission varies from quite low 2% on some airline tickets to nearly 50% on some financial transactions, and is generally in the 10% to 15% range.. Spending per active Internet adult users (one on line in excess of five hours a month) is estimated at more than $2,000 a year – twice as much as the $1,000 overall online spending average.) . For valuation at the end of year two, an estimate between $50 to $150 per user in commissions was used
  
• Distribution – The distribution of products and services may become the largest source of AGLOCO revenue. This revenue source is different than the sales commissions since AGLOCO states it would be a direct distribution source (or a direct signup source). There are four basic areas of distribution:
• AGLOCO can distribute to its members products and services ranging from new credit cards to home loans and to computers or software. Credit card and loan revenue can vary from $50 to $500. Online software distribution should be a normal AGLOCO activity (for example backup software should earn at least AGLOCO $1 a month.)
• Upgrades on paid-for or free software – This includes payments from companies like Adobe which will pay for each time a user upgrades free program like Flash or upgrades of paid for software like Norton anti-virus.  
• Referral fees of online communities – This includes payments for new active users. Examples include: eBay ($22), Skype (a % of anything spent), eFax ($10 -$50) –there are at least one hundred of these
• Offline large buying group – AGLOCO can act as a large buying group. (Example; referral fees on car sales are anywhere from $200 to over $1000. Using a $400 average and a one-in-ten to one-in-twenty annual user participation rate (5% to 10%), then cars alone will be a $20 to $40 per year source of revenue for the entire user base. Similar but smaller sources exist in other products.
• An annualized distribution revenue amount of $100 a year per user by the end of AGLOCO’s second year should be a reasonable estimate.

Total Revenue – With the above detailed analysis, the total revenue would be estimated to be between $200 and $300 per user – (annual revenue run rate at the end of year two). Below is a chart showing potential revenue growth per user by category over a two year period.




 

• Servers and bandwidth – since most of the communications with users are coming from search company servers and ad network servers it would seem should be a relatively small amount.
• Sales and business development – passionate MBAs etc –while expensive people, this should still be a low cost as a percentage of total revenue
• Customer services – lots of users, lots of questions – AGLOCO has started by using teams in India, China and the Philippines. Most communication is email so language should not be a significant problem
• Technology - should be much simpler than a Yahoo or Google as AGLOCO is not building much (a toolbar is a known and simple technology platform.)
• General and administrative costs need to include processing user payments (PayPal and others make this cheaper) and  the management company fee of 10%

A reasonable estimate two years out (assuming 2 to 3 million AGLOCO users) would be a 20% to 30% cost structure - as a % of gross revenue 

Valuation: 

To make this a bit stable and understandable, the time for valuation chosen was the end of year two for AGLOCO (approximately December 2008) and with AGLOCO having two million or more active users at that time. Also the projected revenue was reduce from the $200 to $300 per user range to $100 (again to be conservative.) 

• Given market comparisons,; a growing community of two million users with revenue above $100 per user and heading toward $200, $300 or $400 per user and a profit margin of 70% prior to cash distributions to users should have a sizeable value, anywhere from $200 to $1,000 per user (depends on the rate of growth of users, rate of growth of per user revenues. With very little per user revenue Facebook valuation was near the $200 amount this summer. MySpace had very little revenue and was losing money when sold and YouTube was similar.
  

 

• With a 15% to 20% net profit margin (after cash distributions to users), annual profits of $15 to $40 per user would justify a value of at least $300 per user.  

AGLOCO is in the advertising and sale/distribution business – somewhat similar gross profits of Yahoo and Google. Yahoo and Google both have valuations exceeding 35 times earnings. A 35 times profit per user would value AGLOCO at $350 to$1,400 per user. Yahoo has a value of 6 times revenue and Google has a value of 16 times revenue. Even at the lower estimate of $100 of annualized revenue per user at the end of the second year, the corresponding value of AGLOCO would be $600 per user.

• With a $300 per user valuation and 2 million users, AGLOCO would have a total valuation of $600 million. A good range to be in for a fairly new public company.
  
• Per the AGLOCO website statements, about half of the AGLOCO ownership is given directly to active users and about half is given to the referrers who build up the network. With a $300 per user valuation the average each regular user would have been given $150 worth of ownership in AGLOCO (of course people who started earlier would have more than average and people who started later less.)).
   

• That also means that the referrers would (on average) receive $150 of shares for each AGLOCO user – again with the early referrals providing more. There are five levels of referrals in the AGLOCO user referral system, so the $150 is split equally between five levels of referrers, $30 each.

• This result is simple stated as:  For each referral in an AGLOCO user’s total referral network, a person should receive $30 in AGLOCO ownership value (plus a share in the AGLOCO monthly cash distributions to all users.)
  
• Since a user can really best affect their own personal referrals, figuring out the ‘potential’ value of each of those is important to understand.
  
• Obviously if a user refers a new user and that second person does no recruiting then the total value of that new direct referral is only $30.
• Conversely, if a user refers a very active AGLOCO recruiter who adds 1,000 new users then that new direct referral was worth $30,000.
• To make some kind of estimate of value it is necessary to ‘guess’ an average referral rate. Looking at blogs about AGLOCO from users a conservative view would seem to be to choose an average of three new referrals every new user.
• Using three referrals at each level results in each direct referral resulting in 120 new users. Using the $30 valuation for each referral the total value for the 120 is $3,600; plus $30 for the direct user for a total value of $3,630.
• While not a focus of this analysis, a quick calculation of the monthly distributions might be estimated. (This part was added at the request of some early reviewers of this report:
  
• Using the $200 per user gross revenue and the 60% payout percentage then the annual run rate would be $120 (about $10 per month. This would be in addition to the ownership received). A $100 revenue rate would yield about $5 a month and $300 would yield about $15. 
• This valuation analysis has a couple of caveats in it.
• Obviously, eventually all the users who want to join an entity like AGLOCO will be exhausted so referring will not be very significant and new direct referrals will not result in 100 total new user. At that point, direct referrals would not be so valuable (but with more than 100,000,000 adult US Internet users alone, getting to two million in the US should not hit any limits in the next two years).
• Different countries users probably have different revenue potentials and thus different valuations (The AGLOCO site states that AGLOCO has the ability to change distribution rates by individual country if needed.)
• Additional sources include
• Research reports on Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Fox, and Internet advertising market by Mary Meeker – Morgan Stanley, Bear Stevens, JP Morgan and Merrily Lynch.
• Online reports including: John Battelle, Internet Advertising Bureau, Mazenarra, TNS Media Intelligence and TechCrunch.

Passed over 7,000 AGLOCO referrals

Did my 7,000th on Christmas Day - nice gift.

Based on requests of friends – here is my AGLOCO recruiting advice 

Before I start, I want to explain a couple of things I believe that help me organize my effort in recruiting (some of which I have covered in previous blogs): 

·         I believe that 80% of the people who join AGLOCO will not recruit new members and the AGLOCO program (and thus my recruiting) needs to address why these people will be very happy they are members of AGLOCO

·         And of the 20% that do recruit, most will be casual recruiters (send out some emails to friends and maybe mention it a couple of times to people they see.) and a few will take the extra time to get really involved in AGLOCO recruiting. Some of my advice is to both of these groups and some just to the really dedicated.

 Point #1 – Know why "Every Internet user should join ALGOCO" - (here are the reasons I use)

1. All Internet users help create value on the Internet and should get their fair share of it – and AGLOCO has a great plan to get it for its members.
   1. If Google can afford to pay AOL 10 cents a search
   2. and if YouTube (with users doing 90% of the 'work') – can be sold of $1.6 billion,
   3. then there is plenty of 'excess' value to share with the users.
2. What share will an AGLOCO member with no referrals get? –
   1. They will get their share of AGLOCO's profits . In my personal view this will eventually be $100 to $200 a year – but at the beginning much less.
   2. In addition to the cash payments members will get their share of the ownership of the company – This could be much more than the annual cash check due to the multiplier effect of earnings.
3. All Members get security and utility – There is a short  list of items on the AGLOCO site, I think AGLOCO members will drive the utility of the Viewbar to become very useful for all members.
4. It is the right thing to do – AGLOCO is nothing short of an Internet Economic Revolution – and YOU should be supporting it. That is pretty much how I say that.. (- like Wikipedia is Internet revolution in freedom of Internet information)
5. Membership is always free and all data is totally private (no spyware). AGLOCO never gives out any member data to anyone at any time (Read Privacy Policy) And they have one of the top anti-spam and privacy people in the world as their Chief Privacy Officer, Ray Everett-Church, (he wrote the "Internet Privacy for Dummies" book and the "Anti-spam for Dummies" book.

 Point #2 – Know why "All AGLOCO members should recruit new members."

 AGLOCO can better serve its individual members the bigger the total membership gets. – This is because AGLOCO can get:

1. 1. Better deals with business partners the larger the network is (size matters when making marketing deals).
   2. Better Viewbar software (the more users the more other companies will want to connect their software with the AGLOCO Viewbar).
2. Recruiting members can increase their 'share' of AGLOCO by recruiting new members.
   1. AGLOCO does reward network builders who recruit new members (recruit five new members and 'double" your share – recruit 25 and increase your share 5 times)

 Point #3 – Know how to "Motivate new members to recruit for AGLOCO." 

1. Give them a plan
   1. Most people use email – so 'ask them when they are going to send them.'
   2. Most potential builders are worth a personal call or visit – ask your new recruits to list the people they now who would be good AGLOCO builders
2. Give them the tools
   1. Sample emails
   2. Answers to questions they get asked (I told them to email them with any questions they get.  

Point #4 – Just keep at it. 

1. Keep recruiting new members every chance we can.
2. Keep in touch with your recruits to help the keep recruiting as well.  

Good luck……….. RZ

More on Bill Gates and AGLOCO

Below is a report from an AGLOCO blogger I like to read - harold bbbg1619 - http://haroldbbbg1619.wordpress.com/2007/01/02/googles-profit-down-50/

 

This is up to his usual standards - While I agree that AGLOCO will get the billions when they have the large member base I am not sure that Google will actully make less money - they may develope ways to make even more money by partnering with AGLOCO in many other ways besides search. Just a thought.

 

I can see why Bill Gates likes AGLOCO's business model - it is at least very threatening to Google.

Google’s profit down 50%

I have been doing research on how a successful AGLOCO might affect the Internet.

I think it will be in various different ways… major ways. But one simple way of looking at AGLOCO’s impact is how it will move money around on the Internet search alone. I think Google could be one company that is greatly affected by the invention of the Internet Economic Network (which is what AGLOCO is).

To make this simple – Let’s say that AGLOCO is highly successful and gets 150 million members (and that other economic networks also start and together they get another 150 million members (and that further that these 300 million members represent 50% of the active volume on the Internet.)

How will this affect Google profits?

Google’s financial statements release significant data on how Google makes a profit.

First — Google gets 60% of its revenue from selling ads on its own sites and 40% from sites of others (like AOL).

Second — In regard to the AOL etc. 40% part, Google states that it has an 80% cost of revenue on that part of its business (this means that $100 of the revenue that is generated by this part of the business costs Google $80 to get – like the fact that on average Google pays AOL 10 cents a search. – that is about 90% of Google’s average gross revenue (obviously Google pays other suppliers less than 80% or otherwise the average cost would be higher 80%).

Third — The Google direct site revenue (the 60% part), is highly profitable – with an 90% gross profit margin.

Simple math – if Google does $10 billion in total revenue, then $6 billion is direct and $4 billion is indirect (from other sites). The $6 billion has a $5.4 billion gross profit (90%) and the $4 billion has a $0.8 billion gross profit (20%). Total $6.2 billion in gross profit. Google has about 25% in operating costs ($2.5 billion) leaving $3.7 billion in net profits.

IF AGLOCO (and other economic networks) have half of the total Internet users then Google will have only half as many direct customers. – New split would be 50% AGLOCO etc. 30% direct and 20% AOL etc.

Simple math #2 - if Google does $10 billion in total revenue then $5 billion is AGLOCO etc, $3 billion is direct and $2 billion is indirect (from other sites). The AGLOCO $5 billion has a $1 billion gross profit for Google (20%). the direct $3 billion has a $2.7 billion gross profit (90%) and the AOL etc $2 billion has a $0.4 billion gross profit (20%). Total $4.1 billion in gross profit. (Google still would have about 25% in operating costs ($2.5 billion) leaving $1.6 billion in net profits.)

A net profit of $1.6 billion is less than half of $3.7 billion. So Google’s net profit would be less than half of what it is now if AGLOCO succeeds and becomes huge. And where did that $2.1 billion go that Google lost – to AGLOCO and other economic networks.

And this would be AGLOCO‘s income from just search (and not including money from Yahoo, MSN etc.) – A very nice start…..

 I got this from McCall - who else ........

Free is Too Expensive

I love this about AGLOCO. It was one of the best statements on the AGLOCO website.

 

I read this post on the company blog - I just had to paste it here.

 

The AGLOCO Vision #1: Free is too Expensive

Much of Web 2.0 has been about Internet companies building a simple service and then getting users to do much of the work on it (including telling all their friends about it). Once the service is popular, the founders and venture capitalists make a deal to sell it for millions (and billions) of dollars. The users who helped build it (especially the early users who often put up with clunky software and weak websites) just watch.

When we looked at this system, we saw a bad price. Sometimes free is not enough.
We designed AGLOCO to reward all Members who join and with the referral system we designed it to give an extra reward to the Members who help build it.

In designing what AGLOCO would be, we felt starting just a specific service (like videos or music or blogging) would not go far enough. So we designed AGLOCO to be a platform for many kinds of services. On our website we cite easy examples of services to monetize for Members like search and advertising, many more exist.

Global companies start with a grand vision, but they start small. We first started working on AGLOCO out of our houses and apartments…We know our Members are keen to learn more about AGLOCO and we shall endeavor to communicate as soon as we strategically are able.

Just went past 6500 AGLOCO referrals

I went above 6,500 referrals yesterday – I seem to be averaging about 100 new referrals a day at this point. I am somewhat amazed by this as I have only picked up one direct referral in the last two weeks (I haven’t asked anyone). So my 59 direct referrals on average have over 100 referrals each.

I have been asked many times what I did to get my 59 direct people. And why do I seem to have such a large number of extended referrals. (Please note – if you are just interested in getting a few referrals and have limited time skip down to the third bullet point on email…)

• First, I read three pages of AGLOCO website info (how it works page, viewbar page, and FAQ page) to get ready to explain AGLOCO to people I was recruiting and to be ready for their questions
• I personally called (or met at work) the 10 best people I knew for AGLOCO
• These were people who I thought would get excited about changing the way the Internet is run and would be willing to go out and stick their necks out and invite their friends to join AGLOCO
• I can not stress enough how important it is to go after the best people you know and to do it personally. And to tell them this is not a ‘get rich quick scheme’ – most people do not believe that anyway – and if they do they will not be good recruiters for AGLOCO.
• I told the people I personally recruited that I picked them, because I thought they would be very good at recruiting and that in order to leverage this early opportunity they would have to actively recruit.
• Also, tell your recruits that at least half of the people will turn them down
• I was lucky – I got all 10 to join AGLOCO and I am pretty sure at least 6 of them have actively done recruiting like I did (the others did some emails and have said they will do more… “soon”.)
• I emailed to almost all of the people in my email address book (about 400 people) – even those I had not talked to in more than a year.
• I used an email like the ones AGLOCO shows as samples – BUT on each one I added at the top a personal message – it takes time but I think it is very important – and a side benefit was that I got lots of personal emails back from friends and contacts I had not talked to in a while.
• Actual signups from this was just over 10% (49 people to be exact). (Given the result, if I were to do this over again I should have called at least the top 20-25.) - About 20 of the 49 have told me they signed up -  the other 29 - I am not sure who they are.
• I will be sending a repeat email to 400 people (minus the known signups) with an update on the AGLOCO opportunity to see if I can get 5 or 10 more.
• To stimulate the ‘extended’ referrals, I talk and email to the 30 direct referrals I know and give them ideas and encouragement – BUT what I mainly do is answer questions that get when they are recruiting –or  they get from people they have recruited doing their recruiting – see how this works… What is nice about AGLOCO is that you are not ‘selling’ a product for cash- just the opposite, you are helping people get money they already deserve. Most people hate selling anything – but they are happy to give other people’s money away J .

I see this was a long post – but to give a decent answer I needed to put in some details. As I see it, there are three groups of members of AGLOCO and they are all part of the old 80 / 20 rule (20% of the people in any group do 80% of the work/and get 80% of the results). So out of 100 AGLOCO members I think:

·         80 will do no recruiting and will be happy to get their share of the Internet as a regular member

·         20 will do all the building and of that 20:

   o       80% or 16 will do simple email recruiting and do pretty well with it – given how easy that is.

   o       20% or 4 will do what I did and take the extra time to really sit their necks out for AGLOCO

Just make sure that among the people you get that you recruit those 4 and you will do real well….

6,000 AGLOCO Referrals

I have been asked to do two things on this blog recently.

 One is give my status. – I crossed over 6,000 total referrals yesterday.

Two how did I get there.  – Mainly I recruited friends with emails. I have just 58 direct referrals (I plan to get more, but day job is in the way and I have grown a bit lazy.) But I do talk to the friends I have recruited and do two things.

• I give them help in answering AGLOCO questions they may have or people they recruit have. (I read a lot about AGLOCO so this makes me better able to do that than they are. I do this mainly in email so they can forward the information on.
• I act as a cheerleader. Recruiting new members for AGLOCO is sales. And in all sales you get lots of no’s. Sales is numbers you need to get your message to the right people at the right time.  I email my friends often to make sure they are feeling supported by me in the effort. Please note that only 1/3 of my recruits have direct referrals so far – the others have not tried. I am hoping to get this up.

 Sites I like for information are.
