How I got to 17,000 AGLOCO referrals - and you can copy it for free - really, nothing to buy :)

I crossed over 17,000 referrals a couple of days ago. How did I get there? Quite simple; I have recruited 110 people so far and they recruited 17,000 more.
 
I have blogged more than once on this and recently I sent out an informational email to my direct recruits (I know about 80 of them). I listed all the resources I use to recruit with and give answers to questions I often get asked when recruiting.
 
Here is that email ---
 
Dear Francis,
 
Below are links to many of the places I use to learn or update myself on AGLOCO and where I send potential new members to go read about AGLOCO.
 
My suggestion is that you use this as best you can and more importantly you send it on to the AGLOCO referrals you personally know and let them use it and send it on.
 
Here goes:
 
Are there sites to send potential new members to read about why to join AGLOCO?
 
Is it really happening?
 
Is it too late to join and do well?
 
Do you have a good referral plan I can read?
 
AGLOCO economics spelled out (how much money can I make
 
Is it spyware?
 
Can you give me a good email to send to friends?
 
Can you tell me what to say to someone in person?
 
I want to create a blog to send people to – do you have some good samples?
 
Success Stories?
 
Please read as many as you have time for. And try to remember to forward on to you direct AGLOCO team.

AGLOCO Wants YOU - (and I now have 16,000 referrals)

I want to be a Founder of YouTube.
 
I know it is too late, but I just read Harold’s post on this.  Wow.
 
But I am a Founding Member in AGLOCO and so can you be one. I assume most (but not all) people who get to this blog have already joined AGLOCO (if not - do it now  - takes less than two minutes – then come back and finish this).
 
Being a member of AGLOCO is a good start, but to be a true Founder, you have to ‘stick your neck out’. (It is like registering to vote – it is a start, but to really influence the world you have to not only vote, but talk to people about the issues you really care about.)
 
AGLOCO is the same way. To really be a Founding Member, you have to talk to your friends about AGLOCO. And not just about joining. But about them really becoming Founding Members as well and ‘sticking their necks out’. It is the only way AGLOCO will grow effectively – by organic growth – member to new member.
 
People often ask how I got so many referrals. Well I only found 100. That 100 found the other 16,000. The AGLOCO system works. But you have to make it work. (oh some day it will be easy to recruit for AGLOCO, but that day is not here yet and in my opinion it will not be easy until sometime in 2008.)
 
You want a clear message on how to get to 16,000 in the next 90 days?  
 
This week get 10 friends (I know that you have more than ten people you know that the AGLOCO Revolution is right for). AND most importantly convince them to each get 10 referrals the next week (and check in with them to ‘help’ them get their ten - and it will quickly multipy). Tell them they are causing the revolution. Yes, you and they could end up making lots of money too. But for me, I did not join AGLOCO for the money and I do not write this blog for it either.
 
Harold says I will make more than $1 million from AGLOCO – I will be excited with a great dinner out with my wife. I believe the AGLOCO revolution is the right thing to happen to the Internet. Looking at all the YouTube money just convinced me more.
 
So, I agree with Harold that AGLOCO is an Internet Revolution. But it NEEDS YOU to be the revolutionary.

The time to Join AGLOCO is Now – I passed 15,000 AGLOCO referrals.

Went over 15,000 AGLOCO referrals yesterday and when I was getting ready to blog about it, I read a couple of comments on my last post. Some of the commenters,  seemed to think it was already ‘too late’ to make a big splash as an AGLOCO recruiter. I think the opposite is true.
 
The Time to Join AGLOCO is Now
 
Why do I think that? I think this is a great time to join, because the AGLOCO membership is now growing at a geometric pace. (More people will join AGLOCO this week than last week and next week will be higher again.) This means AGLOCO will grow to hit a “tipping point” – that is the point at which there is a ‘mad dash’ to sign up and to sign up everyone in the world…. (OK – maybe “everyone in the world” was too high, but you get the picture.)
 
Where are we now?
 
I get various reports that AGLOCO is somewhere between 200,000 and 250,000 members right now. There are 700,000,000 Internet users out there. This means AGLOCO has less than 0.03% market penetration – or just 3 out of every 10,000 Internet users have joined AGLOCO so far – leaving 699,750,000 left to recruit.
 
As much as I and other Members like to get excited about AGLOCO’s growth and accomplishments so far, it has just started.
 
How big will AGLOCO have to get to see a “tipping point”?
 
I would guess somewhere between 10,000,000 and 20,000,0000 members. Even growing at a geometric rate 10,000,000 is still many months away. I am guessing that AGLOCO will hit 1,000,000 will be in April or May and 10,000,000 not until the end of 2007.
 
This gives a new AGLOCO member over 10 months to build a network before the huge numbers start rolling in (if AGLOCO hits 10,000,000 by the end of 2007, I believe it will hit 100,000,000 by the end of 2008. )
 
I look at Top Gun’s   charts and see many people recruiting more direct referrals than I have. (My favorite of those is John Chow . He gives great recruiting advice to all people, especially those of you with a blog or website to promote. I think before the end of the year John will have more AGLOCO referrals than I have because he is recruiting more and faster than I am right now.
 
I also crossed over 100 direct referrals this past week (17 new people in February).
 
I am very excited about this. I went back to original people (people who did not sign up when I first told them about AGLOCO) with new updates and some of them signed up this time. Now I will work to get them to start promoting AGLOCO to their friends. It only with this constant adding of new directs that I have any change to stay in the AGLOCO Top Gun
 
One more thing
 
I just searched AGLOCO on Google (1,510,000 page results) – AGLOCO passed up two of my favorites “Warren Buffett” and “Berkshire Hathaway” – But last night’s Grammy winning “Dixie Chicks” are at 2,520,000, so still al long road ahead.

Crossed over 14,000 – AGLOCO Increasing at a Geometric Rate

Wow – if you are reading this and you have been an AGLOCO member for more than a month then you have been part of an amazing process.

First - My small part of AGLOCO grew so fast this week that in less than 5 days it was up by more than 1,000 people – I am going up by 200 a day right now – I know this will slow down, but it is simply amazing to me right now. A month ago I was lucky to get 100 in a day – this means my network is increasing at an increasing rate – thus my casual use of the term Geometric  Rate.

Second - Members are getting very active in recruiting. Top Gun has had a whole slew of new people show up. A new Top Gun #1 with 19,118 referrals (950 direct referrals – now that is a referring machine). Plus a new member who has 369 direct referrals in the first 6 days of February (wish I had found him).

Third - My post of four days ago (just four, you can use only one hand to count that out if you wish) was about Google search results and Internet popularity. I had great fun with it. AGLOCO had risen to 1,110,000 Google page results in its first 90 days of exposure (actual start of the website was November 22nd a mere 73 days then).

Well, now it is four days later and a Google search gives AGLOCO 1,270,000 pages (actually I tried five times over the last two hours and 1,270,000 was the lowest number Google gave me.) On the fun side, AGLOCO just passed “Arnold Palmer” 1,230,000 and “Lyndon Johnson” 1,170,000 in Internet popularity. But looking for geometric growth; this spurt of Google pages (160,000 new ones in 4 days) is quite amazing again – 40,000 a day is about 10% of Google’s 300,000 a day rate – which means for every ten new pages on the Internet mentioning Google one mentions AGLOCO – unreal.

Last - AGLOCO is taking its first steps to becoming a household name. I saw a blog last week about Super Bowl Ads, “Don’t Watch the Super Bowl Just for the Ads”, in which the author says people watch too many ads, “not just during the Super Bowl, but in other areas of their life too (AGLOCO comes to mind).”  Again, this amazes me. A reporter is using AGLOCO as a reference about advertising in an article about Super Bowl ads - and the Viewbar isn’t even available yet. I wonder how powerful this concept will grow to a year from now.

AGLOCO increasing at a Geometric Rate – What does it mean to You and Me?

I think to you and me it quite simply means – we joined a winner.

We (the members) have made it this winner and we (the members) need to keep working right now to push AGLOCO to the tipping point of success.

I read Harold’s great post yesterday http://haroldbbbg1619.wordpress.com/ . An inspiring description of the revolution that the AGLOCO members are starting today.

You and I. We are starting an Internet revolution. And we are just starting to win. Geometric increases. They will not happen all the time – not every day or every week or every month. But, some will be leaps like the last four days.

Some people say to me “Hey, take it easy McCall. You have so many referrals you are an automatic winner.”

I am taking the opposite view. I am increasing my recruiting efforts. (I am a great believer along with Julie - and many others of you - that NOW before the Viewbar is out is the best time to take advantage of the AGLOCO opportunity. I have sent out more emails again this month. I have called people who have turned me down before. I have 9 new directs among my 1,000 new people and I am very proud of that.

The take away of today’s post – You joined a winner. Be proud. - And now…  -   increase your efforts and double your referrals.

(I am a fan of Warren Buffett - #2 in Net Worth behind Bill Gates in the US. He writes that you only get a handful of potential BIG winners in your life. When you see one, “Give it everything you can”. I am doing that with AGLOCO.)

Now at 13,000 AGLOCO Referrals – Just how popular is AGLOCO

Earlier today, I went over 13,000 AGLOCO referrals. The referral pace at AGLOCO remains very fast at this point. I noticed a blog today by John Chow on his crossing 4,000 referrals in which he noted that his referral pace was picking up as well.

In my opinion, this is not time to ‘slack off’. This is the pre-launch period for AGLOCO. This is the time you can be a founder and get ‘founders returns’.

Try recruiting all your friends six months from now.  Maybe most of them will still not be AGLOCO members – But I bet the “good” ones will be ‘gone’. You know – the GOOD ones - the ones with 1,000 people in their outlook contacts who can double your total referrals if they get active. Everybody will be after those people. That is exactly what I recommend you do in my referral advice posts. Go after the ‘good’ ones first. Call the good ones. Get them signed up and then get them motivated to go out and recruit. I have only 88 direct referrals in AGLOCO my 13,000 referrals come from them. That is the power of AGLOCO and it is right now that it is most effective.

So, how popular is AGLOCO?

I just did a Google search on “AGLOCO” and got 1,110,000 pages of results (– (Note Google results can very by as much as 100,000 from one minute to the next I have noticed.)

What does 1,110,000 Google search pages mean? – That is what I decided to think about.

The first mention of AGLOCO on the Internet was on November 3, 2006  (by a blog called GigaOM)  – exactly 3 months ago – just 90 days ago. So it has been growing 10,000+ new pages a day more or less. But that does not really tell too much of a story. So I decided to o some ‘comparative shopping’.

I put  “Kobe Bryant” in Google – got 1,880,000 – that is more than AGLOCO, but then he has been an NBA superstar for 10 years now. Give AGLOCO another 90 days and it will be bigger than Kobe on the Internet. (I tried Wilt Chamberlain too - 694,000 so AGLOCO has already passed up Wilt.)

I decided to try some more famous people: Queen Victoria 1,650,000 – you remember Queen of England for 68 years – long enough and powerful enough to have a moral standard after her “Victorian Era” and an architectural style “Victorian Houses” – AGLOCO should pass her on the Internet by May.

I tried a few more famous people just for fun: “Tiger Woods” – 3,490,000 (but “Arnold Palmer” only 1,270,000 – AGLOCO might get near him by Valentines Day), “Theodore Roosevelt” – 1,530,000 and “Lyndon Johnson” – 1,160,000 (“John F Kennedy” came in at 4,930,000 – right next to “Tom Cruise” at 4,720,000) - "Britney Spears" was at 17,800,000, so what does that tell you about the world?

I stayed with entertainment for a minute “CSI: Miami” was at 2,080,000 (that is after 5 years as a top ten show.) or “Top Gun”  - 2,080,000 – and the words “Top Gun” are used for many more things than just the Tom Cruise move – the AGLOCO Top Gun site for example.

I tried a couple of simple products with made up words as names; Windex – 1,060,000, Ziploc – 1,110,000 – both have been around for more than 15 years – and ‘everyone’ knows about them.

Then, I decided to try some company names – after all AGLOCO is a company name. I first tried Geico – I love their ads – 3,810,000. Geico is owned by Berkshire Hathaway the 13th biggest company on the Fortune 500 list – only 1,350,000 pages on Google (Berkshire Hathaway is majority owned by Bill Gates’ good friend, Warren Buffet, who is the second richest person in America according to Forbes.  Too bad when AGLOCO hits 1,350,000 in a few weeks it isn’t worth the $46 billion that Warren Buffet has.

#3 on the Fortune 500 list is “General Motors” - 14,400,000 pages. So I moved down to #100 “General Dynamics” - $21 billion in sales last year and has $19 billion in assets – Google score was only 1,510,000. So I slipped down to #500 on the list, still $4 billion in sales and $3.6 billion in assets, “LandAmerica Financial” – Google score 192,000.

Now, what did I learn from all this? Well a lot more respect for the active AGLOCO community that already exists. In 90 days, they have already built the foundation for what might be the ‘next big thing’. Yes, it is fun to ‘beat up on’ an old golfer or an ex-president. But my thoughts go to the fact that AGLOCO is still in pre-launch. No product, no advertising. Nothing is pushing this company forward besides You and Me – the founding members.

What will it grow to? Well if I am right “the sky’s the limit.” YouTube - 123,000,000 (two years), eBay 390,000,000, (eleven years), and Google 892,000,000 (nine years). Wow, 892,000,000 in nine years – that is 100,000,000 new pages a year or about 300,000 pages a day 12,000 an hour. I better get this blog posted to add my one more page for Google – and one more for AGLOCO as well – 1,110,001 and growing.
