Brand slogans

Today I had some spare time, and suddenly I came up with the idea to search for some Brand Slogans that could be used for AGLOCO too. I think they all describe very good what AGLOCO is about. I hope you enjoy them. Please feel free to comment, or to post other good slogans.

There are 2 categories, the ones I haven't edited, and the ones I did edit. When a slogan was edited, the original stands between brackets.

This is my favorite one: L'Oréal: Because I'm worth it

Guinness: AGLOCO is good for you (Guinness is good for you)

Hamlet: Happiness is a community called AGLOCO (Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet)

Camel: I’d walk a mile for a referral (I’d walk a mile for a Camel)

Carlsberg: Probably the best community in the world (Probably the best beer in the world)

Burger King: Have it your way

Visa: It’s everywhere you want to be

Volkswagen: Members wanted (Drivers wanted)

AT&T: Reach out and refer someone (Reach out and touch someone)

Fiat Strada: Hand-built by members (Hand-built by robots)

Orange: The future’s bright. The future’s AGLOCO (The future’s bright. The future’s
Orange)

Philips: Let’s make things better

Mercedes-Benz: Unlike any other
Mercedes-Benz: The future of Internet (The future of the Automobile)

Jaguar: Born to perform

Hyundai: Always there for you

Porsche: There is no substitute


And of course:

AGLOCO: Own the Internet
AGLOCO: Free is too expensive

The Viewbar

The Viewbar™ is a small toolbar that rests on the bottom of your screen or browser window while you surf the Internet. The Viewbar™ software is what enables AGLOCO to collect the money you are earning while browsing the Internet.
The Viewbar™ keeps track of your online interests and preferences, and uses that information to deliver the most valuable message to you at the right time. Because privacy is a core principle of AGLOCO, the Viewbar™ communicates with our secure servers in an encrypted fashion to keep your information private.

Some people have asked: “Is the Viewbar™ some kind of ‘spyware’?” The answer is simple: The Viewbar™ is the opposite of spyware. Spyware sneaks onto your computer without your knowledge or permission, it steals your private information, and it’s nearly impossible to remove. Unlike spyware, the Viewbar™ is completely permission based, it keeps your information private, and you can always turn it off with a single click.

The AGLOCO Viewbar™ (currently in limited beta) is shown below:



NOTE: The AGLOCO Viewbar™ is currently in limited beta testing and is not yet available for download. We expect that it will start to be available to download in several weeks. It will be released to Members in the order in which Members signed up. No testers are receiving any earnings while using the Viewbar™ in this testing phase. For now, we ask you to build the community, because both you and AGLOCO make more if you grow the community.
The Viewbar™ also has many additional features:

Search (which lets us get you money from search engine companies)
Contextual ads (which lets us get you money from advertisers)
Anti-fraud and other software utilities (which lets us get you money from software companies)

Here is a screenshot of what the Viewbar will look like on your desktop:

What to do once you've signed up

A lot of people asked me what they have to do once they signed up. Actually it is very simple now:

* First of all, if you haven't done so, sign up: SIGN UP HERE
* Now you have to log in to your account. Once you've done that, go to "My account". Just below the button "Referral Center" you'll see "Your personal automatic referral link is www.agloco.com/r/XXXXXXXX". Copy this link and send it to everybody you know. Also give them some information about what it is, maybe send them a detailed e-mail. That way, you'll gain direct referrals. Persuade them to do the same thing. That way, you'll gain extended referrals.
* That's it. The Viewbar (more info about that is coming tomorrow), has not been released yet, so actually you can't really do anything more know.

Remember: now is THE time to look for possible members. Once the Viewbar will be released, it will be very hard to find anyone, because everyone will already know about AGLOCO, and there is a very big chance they will be signed up too.

So start link-spamming now! (well, not really "link-spamming" cause that's prohibited, but you know what I mean ;))

4 ways of making money

AGLOCO Members make money in four ways:

* Members earn a monthly share of the AGLOCO revenue based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month.
* Members earn part of the company based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month (currently a maximum of five hours are rewarded). Click here for details.
* Members who use our referral system to help build the AGLOCO network will earn more. (AGLOCO only has significant value as a large network and people who help build it should be rewarded. – We also feel that the early users who told friends about YouTube or MySpace or even Google probably deserved something too, but no referral system was available to record their work).
* Members will also get a share of any commissions AGLOCO gets when a Member purchases a product or service from an AGLOCO Sponsor company.

AGLOCO: a new way of earning money online

Hi everybody, doesn't it sound attractive to make some money just by surfing on the Internet? It probably sounds impossible (with a lot of disadvantages like spam, traps...) but it is NOT. Recently I've received a link of someone who asked me to sign up at AGLOCO. At first I was a little bit skeptical about it, but I signed up and, for the time being, I haven't got any unwanted mail.

I just joined
AGLOCO (A GLobal COmmunity), the first company that is sharing this value with all its members. It’s free and easy to join — and even easier to use: you just use the Internet like you always do.
Some of you may remember the days of “AllAdvantage”, a company that would pay you to surf the Internet. They went out of business several years ago but many people made a lot of money from the AllAdvantage program by getting in early and signing up referrals. This get paid to surf program is very new (in fact the Viewbar is still in beta) so now is a good time to sign up.
If you are feeling skeptical about all this, that’s normal. I was also until I read more about the program. Skepticism is good if it leads to one finding out more about the company. Once you learn about AGLOCO and its intention, I hope they will become an active member.
Here a few common questions & answers I found on the AGLOCO website:


What is AGLOCO all about?
AGLOCO is the first Internet based economic network, which enables you as a Member to ‘Get your share of the internet.’ Advertisers, search companies, online merchants and other businesses currently pay lots of companies to deliver people like you to them to get your attention and sell goods. With AGLOCO they will be paying
YOU.
AGLOCO is also a global community of Internet users whose active Members can be paid for all their online activity. By downloading our proprietary Viewbar technology, members benefit from engaging yet unobtrusive content tailored to their interests. AGLOCO also pays its members to refer their friends to the community (and for those friends to refer more friends through four levels of extended referrals.)


Is AGLOCO a pyramid sceme?
A big misconception is that AGLOCO is a pyramid scheme.
Pyramid schemes are where people (at the bottom) pay money to join, and this money goes to the people who referred them (those at the top). Wikipedia has a nice description.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme

AGLOCO is NOT a pyramid scheme for the following simple reasons:
* No Member ever pays AGLOCO (or any other Member) any money at any time.
* AGLOCO is the opposite of a pyramid scheme, since we pay out money to all active Members.
* All Members earn distributions at the same rate no matter when they joined. Members who refer new Members can earn more for building out the AGLOCO network. And we do use a multilevel system for this reward.


Is my information private?
At AGLOCO, we will NEVER disclose any personal information. We will NEVER ask you to pay anything. And no, this is not a huge spamming exercise. We will NEVER spam our users in any way. That’s right, no pop-ups, flash-ups, unwanted email…whatever you want to call it, there will be NO spamming. We could not be clearer. And if an individual user tries to spam to recruit new members, then he or she risks seeing their membership cancelled.


Why did I
join AGLOCO?
1) $$$ - I will earn ownership in the company (in the form of shares) and will then begin earning substantial money if this thing blows up (and I have nothing to lose if it doesn’t.)
2) Good Timing - The program is still in Beta. The early bird gets most of the pie. :)
3) Simplicity - I use the Internet just as I always have… I just get paid to do it!
I really don’t know if AGLOCO will be a big success but I figure I have nothing to lose and a lot of possible gain (play with their member referral calculator to see what I mean).
