Mike Filsaime is a guy who has claimed to have made millions with super secret ideas to online marketing. What he says and does is similar to things I have seen on TV, late night when its really late and no one should be up watching TV.
Even though I'm sure he has made plenty of money, I'm sure he is not telling you everything, if he did, everyone would be rich, the government would have killed him long ago.
So now that we know he is not selling secrets to being a millionaire, what is he doing?
I like to describe this kind of "marketing" as the triangle trade. I break it down to a bunch of people paying each other to read each others emails. These emails are usually products or links to products online for purchase.
This can be compared to the home based companies that advertise on TV with web addresses like, worknow111.com, or workhome5234.com. These types of companies say you can work from home and earn thousands a week. Yeah I'm sure that works for everyone that orders the info package.
Back to Mike. Let's get into some of these products for marketing that have made Mike so rich. Did mike get rich from what he is telling people or did he get rich by marketing something he could sell and get other people to sell to other people? Somehow he has to make money doing something.
One way is by having seminars about what they do that makes them so rich. One seat at a random event I selected cost $670 to attend. Thats a lot of money.
Another way is selling products online. More than likely they talk about these same products at the events. One of Mike Filsaime famous programs is http://butterflymarketing.com/. This is one of the longest scrolling sites in the history of the web. This is a sure sign of a bullshit website. Whatever someone is trying to sell on a page that scrolls this long, is not a marketing genius. I bet anyone who read that entire opening page would be brain washed into buying Butterfly Marketing. I've bought it five times already.
What is Butterfly Marketing? From the website, its a way to make huge money with an opt-in list. Some kind of software to manage the list. This software is $1497. Thats a lot of money. Almost any web host has built in scripts or web based software that allows its users to setup and maintain a mailing list. And the web host will provide the support to help you use it. Butterfly Marketing makes no sense. Mike has to have something better than that.
Other Mike Filsaime Products. http://proteleconference.com/ PowerlinkGenerator.com http://www.instantbuzz.com/ - Another very long scrolling website with bad audio that starts automatically. http://www.free-advertising-blog.com/ http://www.listdotcom.com/homepage.php
After closing my browser on one of the sites a window popped up, i closed it and another popped up with this link: http://firesalesecrets.com/thankyou.php
Its a sham. Any website that scrolls for three days is more often than not a bad sign for a legit way to conduct business. Any website that talks about opt-in lists and then has repeated Spam Policy links and images usually involves more than you making easy money. Its about spamming people with your products that you buy from some wholesaler who has affiliates with the same people who created the affiliate that referred you in the first place. And then you will make money off of people they referred.Until everyone is running or email around trying to sell someone something that someone has already tried to sell to them.
It's all real easy after you go through the $1497 + $38 s/h package.
Wow. $38 for shipping? This is a deal. No wonder Mike is rich.
Save your money and buy something that makes you feel good. Maybe a book, newspaper, magazine, don't throw it away. |
