Here is a real life example marketing communication without due consideration to cultural sensitivity. It must surely rank as the ultimate nightmare of a marketer. This lesson can be applied to blogging as well.

This is why the Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank cannot make it in Malaysia.

A piggy mascot is all good and dandy to the Chinese, but pork or babi is taboo in Muslims societies.

It’s bad enough using a baby babi as mascot, but giving that name “Puki” is really stretching their luck overboard! That is a Malay vulgar phrase referring to a certain female anatomy! Enough said!

The AGLOCO viewbar really existed! Here’s a video demo of the viewbar taken via John Chow dot com.

You must sign up for AGLOCO. Even if you don’t care about making money on the internet, if you spend any time at all surfing you need to sign up for this service. The amount of money you can make grows exponentially based on the number of people you refer.

Here are the basics: You run the AGLOCO viewbar while you surf. The viewbar will provide content from companies relevant to the pages you are surfing. You also get money for signing other people up and for the people they sign up. The viewbar is due to be released any day now and this is definitely something you want to get in on at the ground floor. Why let everyone else make money off the time you spend surfing?

April 22 is Earth Day. On this day, I hope all of us can take a few moments from our busy lives to think about the health of Mother Earth. Mother Earth is sick.

The Eart is the only planet with conditions to sustain human life. The future of humanity depends upon the preservation of a healthy biosphere, with all its ecological systems, a rich variety of plants and animals, fertile soil, drinkable waters and breathable air. The protection of the Earth’s vitality, diversity and beauty is our shared obligation.

Sadly, we have failed to live up to our obligation. For the past 200 years, since the beginning of Industrial Revolution, the world has evolved patterns of production and consumption which have caused environmental devastation, the depletion of natural resources and led to the extinction of species.

The increasing demand for and the use of fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas, to generate electricity, power vehicles and operate plants and machineries is touted as the biggest threat. The burning of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, about half of which is absorbed by the atmosphere. This causes glocal warming which in turn leads to Earth’s climate change.

There is now near universal consensus that humanity are faced with the very real prospect of ecological disaster if we do not drastically reduce our emission of CO2 and find ways to reduce our dependent on fossil fuels.

The battle against global warming and climate change cannot be won by the actions of the Governments and businesses alone. Every individual human being must be aware of the dire straits and be infulenced by the urgency of the problem and we must be prepared to make sacrifices and adjustments to our lifestyles, our values and our attitude towards nature and Mother Earth.

For a start, we can aspire to lead simple lives rather than lives of conspicious consumption. When we make purchases, we can look for ebvironmentally certified products. Most of all, we need to learn to love Mother Earth and do our little part to help restore the balance between the human enterprise and the natural world.

Close to a month since signing up as an ALGOCO member, my direct referrals count and overall total in my network still stands at one. Whoever you are who had took the wise decision to join my network, trust me when I said I’m forever grateful to you!

How some memeber can hit tens of thousands of referrals in their network, really beats me. Calvin of calvinwarr.com had just discovered AGLOCO and is still kicking himself for jumping on the bandwagon so late. How I wish he’d read my post on AGLOCO earlier, then who knows, he could become my number 2 signups.

Anyhow, Calvin had joined another network and had posted a summary of what AGLOCO is about and what benefits it can bring to its members. All the information can be found in AGLOCO’s homepage and blog, if you look hard enough. But Calvin had compiled important information like how AGLOCO make money, how members can make money and why you should join now, in his blog post, to save you the trouble to surf and search for them.

Well, every system, however well thought out and well conceived, will always have its fair share of skeptics and detractors. For AGLOCO, its strongest detractor so far that I’ve come across is Kumiko of Kumiko’s Cash Quest. I was actually caught by surprise how this petite lady from Tokyo went ballistic and took AGLOCO bashing to town! Of course, she is entitled to her opinions which are posted here and here.

It is always good to hear both sides of the story and evaluate the pros and cons before you make the eventual decision to join certain programs.

After which, STOP procrastinating and hesitate no more, do not end up kicking yourself like Calvin Warr, JOIN MY NETWORK today!

AGLOCO

I became a AGLOCO member since March 20, 2007 and I’m glad to report (surprise even) that I’ve signed up my first downline. Make my fantasy come alive, join my AGLOCO network.

For potential AGLOCO earnings, refer to the Simmons Report.

An AGLOCO official’s response to a member’s concern that “AGLOCO sounds too good to be true. Why am I getting paid without putting anything into it?”, goes like this:

“If being “too good” is our only problem, I think we’re in great shape!

It seems strange to “get something for nothing.” The truth is, you’re not getting something for nothing. You’re giving the Viewbar a small share of your computer monitor, which we (and apparently many advertisers) consider extremely valuable. You are also choosing us as your partner for commissions, referrals, and fees accumulated through everyday browsing. So, instead of some other middleman making this money, AGLOCO makes it. We win, you win, and the advertisers/companies win for getting your business.”

Alternate views about AGLOCO

It is my duty not to hide any alternate or negative views (that I know of) the online community had on AGLOCO. Here is a fairly negative article disputing the merit of AGLOCO. Read and make your own judgement.
