Part way through the tediously long 52-minute video about this new product from Mike Filsaime - that included about 5 solid minutes of bragging about the various stars of reality TV shows he’s hung out with - I saw some potential for the concept. (Remind me to share and gloat about my pictures with the past Presidents I worked for during my world travels for the National Security Council. I know you’ll be VERY impressed.)
Basically, Mike discovered all of the people running “Mike Filsaime is a Scam” ads. Then he discovered these ads were being run widespread and on the names of all the other saintly Gods of IM.
After he learned his good buddy Russell Brunson was running ads just like these when people did a search for Mike, he decided “game over”.
I have vowed to be more positive and less obnoxious - personally confrontational, if you will. But there seems to be this new level of Ego with “the Mike” that I’ve never seen in Internet marketing. “Guru” is truly going to his head - is that how God would have you to be Mike?
Game over? Does Mike REALLY think he has THAT much power over the rebel underground.
Folks - this is the Fight Club. We make the food you eat. Do not fuck with us.
Game over?
The solution Mike’s come up with is to create some software that allows you to create your own review site. Except, you don’t have to do any of the work - you can buy product reviews he writes, which most definitely are going to promote his products or you can have the mass hoard with nothing better to do write those reviews for you (how realistic is that REALLY - what I’ve found is that there are only 2 types of people primarily motivated to write a review online - those who are pissed about their experience and those who have something to gain monetarily. So . . . how much is your pissed off review going to help me sell this product? And if you’re not plastering my site with your affiliate links, then what’s to be gained? Exactly.)
In short, when I realized what he was selling - how much he was asking for it - and the thinly disguised motives for offering it were revealed, frankly I was pissed that I’d wasted an hour of my time watching it.
Am I being malicious here? Man, I hope not. It’s more like Dwight Howard swatting away a shot by a Russkie who’d have the gall to attempt to score - we ain’t having that around here.
Yeah.
Game over.
I’ll tell you exactly who can stop X.
