Trying the email approach ...

Well, it seems my network has been sleeping recently. Today, it's up to 24 in total, consisting of 12 directs and 12 extendeds. Still creeping up, but I think it needs an adrenaline shot. As a result, I've changed my Agloco sales page to provide a more wordy explanation in the hope of getting some more directs through there. You can see it here:

I'm also starting to spread the word via email, focusing on friends and co-workers. Here's an example of an explanatory email I sent today:

"On the subject of making money, I thought you might be interested in this. Have you heard of Agloco? Basically, it's an online community that once you join, actually rewards you for 5 hours of your surfing time each month with cash and shares in the company. It's free to join, and the beauty is that if people join under you, you get rewarded for their surfing time too and like viral marketing systems, you could end up with a huge network beneath you. One member directly referred 100 people and now has over 17,000 in his network!

"About 100,000 new pages devoted to Agloco are appearing on Google each week, so it's spreading like wild fire and people are predicting it will be the new YouTube, but one that actually shares its success with its members. The idea is that the members will own 100% of the shares in the company and it will float on the London AIM (Alternative Investment Market) in one or two years time.

"The people behind Agloco have actually done this before in the late nineties. They were called AllAdvantage.com and they paid out millions (about $120 million) to their members. But the company went under when the tech bubble burst and they hadn't kept back enough money to stay afloat. Apparently, they've learned their lesson which is why they're now going to pay in shares as well as cash.

"Here's my "sales" page for you to read more about how it works:

www.onlinepersonaltrainer.co.uk/agloco.htm

"You can join under me on that page or you can go directly to here to join:

www.agloco.com/r/BBBM9388

"If you join, you'll get a link like the one above with your own member code (mine's BBBM9388).

"It's still in the Beta testing phase right now, so no one is actually earning money or shares right now. But it's becoming more famous, so now is a good time to build up your network via email, word of mouth, etc. They aim to be ready in a few weeks time.

"I've got 24 in my network - 12 direct referrals and 12 extended. Will you be no.25? :)

"Let me know if you have any questions."

I think it does a pretty good job of explaining things. Anyway, this is a new approach for me, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
