    • Mike Filsaimes Resource Report

    time Posted March 8, 2007 * Comments(0)

    I’ve just downloaded and read Mike Filsaime’s latest free report:

    The Resource Report


    My thoughts on this are conflicting…

    First off it is a great resource, I entirely endorse Mike’s first item RoboForm - I couldn’t live without it. For anyone not using it download the free version (I don’t have any affiliate link to this - not sure if there is one) and give it a try - you’ll never lose another password or user name.

    Back to the report - it’s full of very useful resources and as Mike proclaims they are all required to run a successful online marketing business.

    Now my contrary and cynical view. The report is packed with affiliate links and sales messages for Mike’s other products like Power Link Generator. Great product and for the affiliate marketer a must have but here’s the issue…

    Mike is promoting the Resources Report via his existing customers, affiliate partners etc who may well be trying to sell many of the resources listed in his Report themselves. Good move by Mike - not so good for everyone else.

    Having said that the compensation for someone promoting the book is a share of the “winnings” should a reader of the Report take up the inevitable One Time Offer (OTO).

    In summary, I take my hat off to Mike - he really knows how to sell.

    Viral Friend (or Foe) Generator

    time Posted February 28, 2007 * Comments(0)

    Although I unsubscribed to dozens of lists a few weeks ago I’ve still been plagued by people selling me the virtues of Mike Filsaime’s latest product - Viral Friend Generator.

    Now, I’m not going to be negative about the product because I haven’t bought it, used it or even tested it although there are a few observations below. But I must have my say about the usual hype surrounding the launch.

    Everyman and his dog - yes I even had an email from Lassie offering me some doggie chocs if I buy through his (or was it her?) link :) - has been telling me over the past few days how vital it is that I get and use this program as it will increase my opt-in list by 300%.

    The sales letter is of the usual high standard, playing on my emotions and making me feel that I’ll be missing out big time if I don’t snap it up immediately. My problem is that I don’t want a list cluttered up with dead email addresses, non-interested great aunties of potential customers or 4 year old kids that Dad just happened to have email addresses for.

    Of course, I understand the viral effect that this could have IF every visitor to my site (assuming there was high traffic in the first place - will that be everyone who buys??) gave names of 3 hot prospects who each did the same BUT reality tells me otherwise. Frankly I’d find it difficult to justify giving the names of 3 of my “friends” so I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only one.

    In the right hands and with the right existing traffic / list I’m sure this latest “must have” will be used to great effect but I’m afraid for many it will be another $97 chasing fool’s gold.

    What do you think? Have I really missed the point (again?!!**?)
