Agloco was billed as the next All Advantage, which was a company that emerged about seven years ago that paid users to surf the internet using their Viewbar, which was a simple toolbar that displayed ads. Users were paid per hour for using the Viewbar and were also paid for users that they referred to the program.
I was very excited when I heard about Agloco, as it was founded by some of the original All Advantage members. I used All Advantage way back when and made several hundred dollars during that time, so I anticipated making even more this time around.
Unfortunately, things would not work out so well this time for the end users. I received the following e-mail from Agloco just a few days ago.
“Dear Shawn,
We would like to update you on the status of AGLOCO’s operations. We continue to believe in the AGLOCO concept, but our revenue is currently not sufficient to give Members a meaningful distribution. And though there are increases in membership, the resulting revenue is not enough to support operating costs. As a development team we are unable to continue to use our savings to fund the operations. If any Member would like to pursue continuing the operations of AGLOCO, you may contact us at agloco1@live.com .”
This is such a shame, as many people were really getting into Agloco but I guess their business model just wasn’t up to spec. Agloco failed to turn a profit and once they released their payment plan to its members (a payout over 10 years, yeah, right!), the program was all but officially dead.
Below are my final Agloco stats.
As with many things in life, not all ventures pan out as you would like, but that is certainly no reason to pack up and quit. Those interested in making money online still have several great options, such as TTZ Media and DealDotCom, so hey, what are you waiting for?!
