Getting paid to “surf the web” is back. Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out like AllAdvantage (which went bust during the …well dot com bust). Anthony over at Hustler Money Blog referred me to AGLoco, at first I instantly saw the similarities to AllAdvantage. AllAdvantage was a get paid to surf the web company where you downloaded an advertising viewbar to be displayed on your desktop and you got paid $0.50/hour for viewing ads. With the collapse of internet advertising, the company also went under.
So what’s different about AGLOCO and is it worth my time? AGLOCO makes money a number of ways in addition to advertising (product/software distribution, commissions on sales, etc.). I will admit the real way to make decent cash is to refer as many people as possible. The big difference is that AGLOCO doesn’t have a set advertising payout rate, so I guess they determine that rate based upon how much they recieve for the advertsing, product/software distributions, etc.
So why did I join? The #1 reason is it costs nothing to join. A real pyramid scheme would have users pay a fee to join and the only ones who benefit are those at the top. Since Amazon.com doesn’t offer cash rebates through Fatwallet or Ebates I might as well use AGLOCO since they claim they’ll be able to get you kickbacks from companies like Amazon.com for shopping there. Currently the viewbar is in beta, but you can sign up for an account and refer your friends/family to AGLOCO.
You’ll run into people who don’t want to sign up under your referral because they’re selfish or whatnot. People signing up under your referral aren’t in any disadvantage in any way whatsoever. Tell them they need to get over their zero sum thinking, your gain isn’t at their loss… everyone wins.
