Modeling for Mike

January has been a busy month for the Vicious Garden Gnome Mike Filsaime.  First he had his big {/little} Internet Marketing Cruise :: For Pedophiles .. By Pedophiles :: which went over like pancakes dipped in shit.  In the rumors I’m starting … the whole thing was a money losing disaster of paranoia and uncomfortable sex.  Loneliness in numbers :: yours for the low low price of EVERYTHING.

But now it’s time to party like it’s 1899!

:: Affiliate Appreciation Weekend ::

Explain it to us Gnome …

“I am spending about $100,000 on a day BASH – Something like this has never been seen in our industry EVER!

Make sure to read all the ANNOUNCEMENTS in this forum.

I am treating my affiliates that support me.

We are piggy backing off of AffiliateSumiit (Tue/Wed/Thu) and we know many people will be extending their stay …

Who will not be there (The non cool people)
Who WILL be there (The cool people)

How do you know if you are not cool?
A. You won’t be there and you will see the TWITPICS and relaize why your life sucks.

How do you know you are cool?
A. You are there and you say shit like
“Life is great. This is the best weekend of my life. I made great connections that will make me Millions! Drink up Bitch etc…”

Oh… Many people are coming DAYS early and many are staying Days later. It is up to you. The shindig is FRI/SAT.

I’ll be covering things like drinks etc. You know… I’ll hand out a couple of COUPONS you use from drinks. After coupons run out.. we all pay for our drinks.

At the VIP bash.. I pay for 3 bottles at each table and a Champagne. (And the Models) – Once they are gone, some drunk happy person per table will pick it up from there ;)

Soooo… That is it Yo!”

St8 off Gnome :: NEVER say “Yo” again!!  What’s with all you GrandPa’s?? Some people can do it :: and some people can’t.  Mother fuckers like you :: and Not-Doctor Kilstein :: do us all … and the very language itself … a HORRIBLE disservice. You can’t do it!  It wasn’t meant for you or your Ford Explorer selling bald fucking head {you should be thanking me for putting that little hat on you and covering up your shame … you’re welcome!}.

Second :: {all caps} COUPONS for drinks? Nice touch … coupons are super-fly-max-dope … plus they’re also the bomb.  I know whenever I’m hangin’ out with my boyz I’m all like: “Yo T.J.!! Did you bring the coupons?”

Third :: What’s this about models?  Cause that sounds pretty stupid …

“Yes the Rumors are true.

I am working with a top Las Vegas VIP host for this VIP night on Saturday.

We are hiring 50 (Yes Fifty) of the hottest models to be part of the VIP night at on of the Hottest Clubs In Las Vegas… On a Saturday Night.

Who are they. Most of them are College girls that do modeling for events in Las Vegas. Many are bartenders, VIP Waitresses, and Poolside Bikini BlackJack Dealers etc…

They are there to have fun just like you.

Why are we doing this.

Well, frankly… do I need to say?

Having 200 guys in a VIP section in a club with maybe 7 women is not
fun for the other women. And the “SGE Factory” is not fun for the guys.

Plus, we will look luck a bunch of AssWipes if we look all BALLA nd have
no women.

You can thank me in Person

Mike Filsaime”

Thank You Mike Filsaime :: Thank you.

Hmmm …. that is a-lot-a dicks.  I wonder why there aren’t any ladies among the “RockStars” of Internet Marketing?  It’s odd because there are LOTS of ladies buying these priced-4-kings info products about making it to the top … but they sure don’t seem to matriculate.  If you look too hard :: for too long :: it might start to look like a bunch of 25 – 45 year old males exploiting a bunch of vulnerable 45 – 65 year old ladies.  People’s Moms :: and Aunts :: and Sisters.  People’s fucking families.  Yeah but whatever right?  Money is Money :: Yo!

Jason Moffatt will be there ::

“I’ll be there and making a promise that I won’t call Craigslist call girls if the hotel lobby runs dry. I promise.”

Highlarious!  You know … because you can pay sad chicks for sex just like you can pay them to stand around at your parties pretending to have a good time.  And it’s a fun thing to talk about … in a “professional” setting especially.  The ladies don’t mind … oh wait … what ladies?

Enjoy your party dicks :: think of it as a classless wake.

    First!

    So tell me this Chirpies :: this party {+models} is ostensibly a payoff for promoting the 7FigureCode relaunch. Which was just a $20 dollar give away {of something worth nothing}. But all the circle jerks promoted it … so what is the upsell?

    OMG! Droid – I thought that was all another one of your paraphrased jokes – then I followed the link and saw it was all verbatim…

    That is funnier than any paraphrase could hope to be.

    I surfed it out further and found this: http://affiliate-appreciation-weekend.com/the7figurecode/ — Private video of how Mike talks directly to his affiliates when he thinks none of us are watching…

    Gems like: 5:10 “We’re giving away 10,000 digital copies for free, downloadable, and they get free instant online access when they pay $7 bucks for the shipping and handling”

    5:50 “We pay you $25 dollars for every person who pays us $7 bucks for free.” wtf?

    6:11 “Here you’ll be selling the hottest thing in the world because it’s going to be free then we’ll make them pay $7 bucks for it…”

    Pure gold Filsaime at his best!

    That could be reworked into a Droid Classic… a career ender all in one video… He even calls his Butterfly Marketing a silly way of doing business…

    this is classic filsaime at 4 minutes he threatens other people not to do their own launch, he is a parasite you have no idea. The group controls the indusry. They bring people up and then destroy them. They are all about power. filsaime gets you in, tells you the millionaire story, then they leave you out and destroy you. It is all about control of the affiliates, product creators, the syndicate is pure evil you have no idea. The marketing you talk about doird is nothing, all you see are the public vidoes the public tricks and manipulation but the manipuluation the sydnciate does to the people in the industry is millions times worse and sophisiticated it is one on one perso to perosn and they destryo people. They rip off the public and destroy people so no one can come out with a good product and be a competitor to them and they can leech off everyone. It is a cult. You have focused on damage doe to the public, but the world inside itself that is the story no one tells.

    The syndicate. You are frightening them. But you are just scratching the service.

    “They rip off the public and destroy people so no one can come out with a good product and be a competitor to them and they can leech off everyone.”

    Yes, that’s definitely an important piece of the puzzle.

    I don’t know about “destroying” people, but; 1) encouraging people to become affiliates and then stiffing them (the old SlobberNet trick), 2) taking other people’s work and presenting it as your own without credit or compensation, and 3) deliberately undermining other people’s businesses and livelihoods…yes to all three.

    If you read “The Game” (which astutely describes Eban Pagan as “like Al Pacino…if Al Pacino was a mamma’s boy”) you learn that while these expert seducers could’t pick up a drunken nympho in a whorehouse, they were VERY good at seducing frustrated guys and separating them from their money. THAT’S what they studied and got very good at.

    Two things worth noting:

    1. John Reese, Yanik Silver and other Internet DBs paid numerous pilgrimages in the mid 2000s to SoCal to hang with Eban Pagan and other “pick up artist” DBs.

    2. If you read the book, you’ll see that one of the things “pick up artist” DBs became fascinated with was learning how to use their “advanced social skills” to attack and destroy rivals.

    Two of the DBs Reese and Silver hung with, Tyler Durden and Papa (yes, those are their names and they’re still around) made a science of this.

    They specifically befriended someone who had a large following in the dating advice field so they could undermine him psychologically and in the process take his customers and his business. They worked at it for months and “succeeded.” The book lays it all out in 3D technicolor.

    This is the kind of psycho manipulative shit that a whack job like Reese would lap up like mother’s milk – and yes, he definitely did use it to try ( emphasis on the word “try” as in “try and fail like the whack job failure he is”) to use a similar routine against at least one person.

    Read “The Game” and realize that people like Reese and Silver lived and breathed this stuff for years and other the other DB like Kern and Jenkins made their way to SoCal too.

    I forgot this…and this is a very important part of their business methods…and one especially favored by Reese…not-so-subtly threatening fellow marketers that if they promote people he does not approve of they will be “cut off.”

    Reese and Kern (gee those two names just keep coming up over and over again, don’t they?) are known for their rabid smears campaigns against competitors.

    What’s the fancy term for that? Tortious interference..

    Well it is becoming clear as I talk to people that it is all coming full circle to everyone that is in cahoots with pagan, Kern, Walker, Carlton and the rest of them that they are being black balled. The flood gates have now opened and they will all be screwed now. There is now stopping the ground swell movement. They are done. I am sure they will still try to juice the market a few more times before they have to go get a job so lets watch and see. I already know Amish is in trouble because he has Reece and Kern helping him. He might make a few bucks on his bullet thing but as more people find out who he is teamed up with its over for him to.

    filsaimeinsider Reply:

    yes the droid articles about sheep and cults is right but spot on it is the internet marketing world that this really applies to. Yes the customers lose money and the filsaime says it is because the customer is at fault because they do not take action so it is them they care nothing about how much money they take the more the better for him he thinks the customer is a sucker who deserves to be took and if he don’t take someone else will this is the mentality.

    And it is a one short deal for most it is the rare person who gives more to the phone room it does happen too.

    What I know is the cult inside the internet marketing world and the psycho control these guys use on people and those are lives they DESTORY.

    The Fallon lawsuit gets you just a little peak at what goes on.

    They bring you in tell you the millionaire story, you go on the millionaire vacation with Mikey Fallon Silver and think you are on the in it is all cult building and your mind becomes theirs then they destroy you.

    They live from fleecing the suckers and they control the market by brining people in then ruining them.

    Pipeline Profits. Where are Brock and
    Buck?

    The game, what you see they did to mystery they do a few times a year. They were doing it before the game book came out.

    This SYNDICATE is pure evil.

    5:50 “We pay you $25 dollars for every person who pays us $7 bucks for free.” wtf?

    The $25 affiliate commission they pay is a bargain.

    Filsaime will flip the names of the buyers to the DB telemarketers he works with and they boiler room will be slamming them for whatever is left on their credit lines.

    In the parlance of professional con artists, Filsaime is growing his “suckers list.” That’s the business he and Kern and Reese et. al. are in: Using free and low cost offers to build lists of naive. vulnerable people and raping them financially.

    Filsaime’s telemarketing methods have been discussed before: Befriend the prospect, find out how much credit he has left by feigning sympathy for their problems, change the subject, and then come back with a “tailored” coaching solution that will solve all their problems – which coincidentally costs whatever is left on their credit line.

    Short of inflicting physical violence on people, can you imagine anything more vicious? Kern, Reese, Yanik Silver, Eban Pagan, SlobberNet, etc. know what Filsaime’s doing and they’re fine with it.

    But there is no commission on offer for the affiliate who brings in the lead right? They just get their $25 on $7 deal. But the circle jerks wouldn’t mail for a lousy $25 … or some BS $99 upsell. No way. They have a strict life-ruining price only policy.

    So doesn’t it make sense that the “VIP” d-bags would also be getting a taste of whatever the boiler room does … whilst the “normal” affiliates get jack crap?

    [Reply]

    208-577-6210 Reply:

    It’s probably too awkward for the gnome to track from email to phonecall close, so I doubt anybody gets a direct commission from the boiler room.

    They could however be on a different pricing structure, or receive a volume-related bonus that only circle-jerks could achieve.

    You also can’t forget the “50000 ft view” as Pagan likes to say. Mike is earnest in whoring out his list for all Syndicate launches, and these giveaway stunts grow the ‘sucker list’ exponentially. Just take $25+ now, but when you release your next $3000 scam, Filsaime will be first to mail for you.

    Anybody that is prostituting and giving away their list like that for such a small payment (and it really is, against the future of their ‘business’) is an absolute idiot. But then again, they would deserve it.

    Technically, Filsaime COULD easily also have special, preferential backend deals with a few “VIP” affiliates if he wanted to. There are methods for that, so don’t rule that kind of crap out.

    Brock Felt and Buck Rizvi. Supplement sellers (think colon cleanser and the like). They also put together some products/seminars called, surprisingly, “Supplement Millions.” (At supplementmillions.com, now off the market.)

    As you might expect, this “great opportunity” unfortunately attracted a new herd of regular folks who figured selling cheap-to-buy private labeled generic herb products was the road to fast wealth. I’m sure some upped the marketing zeal a level or two when they got out there.

    Not sure what happened to these guys, or how they were involved with BrAndy, but maybe filsaimeinsider or someone else can enlighten us.

    I notice Buck Rizvi has partnered with someone else and is now pushing “healthbusinessconfidential.com”

    Keeeeyriiiiiiiiiiiiiist, these asshole gurus seem to be having a “jump the shark” contest. Flimflamsaime has definitely raised the bar. Hos to make the affiliates happy? Is that they type of shit that is required to get the army to go along with shilling the type of shit this guy is putting out? Fuck. Pack it in boys, you guys are obviously played out.

    And yeah, I agree with the comedy noted by an earlier commenter. This 7figure code was used as a freebie for one of flimlamsaime’s greased forced continuity program. And now, he’s going to relaunch it as a thousand dollar product? What a fucking stain.

    Also, salty-super lib didn’t comment on it, but he posted to another blog similar to his (but MUCH better) that had an article on how Visa and Mastercard are stepping in to lay down the law and say “fuck right off with the forced continuity scam BULLSHIT.” Visa and Mastercard laying out clear rules against merchants accepting payments for forced continuity scams is beyond awesome.

    Of all the blights perpetrated by these sick bastards, forced continuity is without a doubt the most insidious. By a mile. Not even close. And, it’s proven by the speed and severity of the reaction by banks issuing Visa and Mastercards. “NO…FUCKING…WAY!!” That’s the message from Visa and Mastercard.

    Russell Brunson deserves to be shot and pissed on (metaphorically, not literally…settle down Mr “um…uh…Selling is hard…giving away stuff is much easier”) for pushing that miserable “business” model.

    Forced continuity is the true “jump the shark” moment in the IM market. But offering hos up to affiliates (most of which probably have no other hope of getting laid) is a close second, though.

    Part 2: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/4075387

    Ladies and Gentlemen! Step right up and watch in amazement as Mr. Brunson sidesteps the real issue, which is that he got paid enormous sums of money to teach people how to screw their customers and ruin their reputations. See and hear while he coughs and sputters and lies through his teeth. See how he shows utter disdain for anyone who trusted him and did what he taught them to do. No show quite like the Backpeddle Show!

    I’ve seen it firsthand. If you want these guys to promote your stuff, then you MUST promote anything they tell you to promote. If you don’t go along with everything they tell you to do, you are immediately ostracized.

    In another blog, Ken McCarthy is mentioned. He’s a great example of someone who refused to play the game, and has been ostracized by all the self proclaimed gurus.

    Who am I? Someone who refuses to join their circle jerk.

    Response to voiceofreason:

    As for Mikey-Boy hiring ho’s to entertain his affiliate troops… what do you expect from a guy who is married with kids, and has been bringing his MISTRESS to all his live events for years? Obviously, ethics is not Mikey-Boy’s strong suit.

    Garden Gnome Mike Filsaime is going to have his own radio show. I shit you not. It’s going to be on low powered Long Island radio station Party 105.3 FM. And it’s a Sunday morning, the dead time for a youth oriented FM station. That time slot is usually donated to public service or religious programming. They literally give it away. His show starts in February.

    And the demographics of the show? Much like Mike – wannabe guidos – typical Long Island trash. The type you’ll see on MTV’s Jersey Shore. Mike will be like the overweight guido dad begging the juiced-up guido youth not to fuck his daughter.

    I really think that’s unfair to the cast of “Jersey Shore.” :-)

    But seriously, who did they rob? Who did they take advantage of?

    While it’s true I wouldn’t go to Filsaime’s slice of Long Island – or the Jersey Shore – seeking cultural enlightenment, hair gel and fake boobs are not the root of all evil. But having utter contempt for other people the way Filsaime and his twisted circle repeatedly demonstrate it is.

    StomperNet is SINKING FAST Reply:

    The affiliate manager’s name is Tom Ham and he’s incompetent but Brad keeps him on because he’s a YES man.

    I knew that guy was an asshole last year when I sub’ed to jonathan fields list and heard him.

    Here’s the link to his long audio interview where he acts like he runs StomperNet and then talks about how he was laid off five times and disses his exwife:

    That must be a typo. I think he meant to say:

    “The importance of working people with who *smoke* rock.”

    Jeez, even Madoff’s employees got the message after a while.

    Does someone have to put “StomperNet – an ongoing continuous criminal enterprise” on the front door for them to get a clue?

    Well, well…looks like Mike Fleeceme has been busy…speaking about “affiliate appreciation” has anyone seen this new affiliate payment schema?

    good con….prime for the possibility of a “little” identity theft….and/or build Fleecme’s lists with others affiliates….hell…no conflict of interest there…..yeah…none….uhhuh….

    http://paypeopleonline.com/

    hmmmm….handing over all personal information (as an affiliate) like SIN’s or SSN’s with addresses, phone numbers, etc to someone like fleecme ….oh and as a “vendor” I give him all the affiliates money and he pays the affiliates….ummm yeah….why not…and while I’m at it, I will play russian roulette with 6 bullets in the chamber….hell I can always “hope” for a misfire.

    “So your affiliate is only pay 2% of the 50%. So in effect what that means is the fee is only 1% of the total actual sale price (plus $1.75) and remember it never exceeds $100.00 when they affiliate earns $5000 or more.” – Mike Filsaime

    Nice…apparently English is his third language..and math is an abstract concept to him….or is this new math?….It’s still 2% from the affiliates standpoint… since their commission is 100% of that 50% they were (and here is the keyword) EXPECTING…

    I can hear the CONversation as he eXplains it.

    Aff – how much is the charge
    MF – well it’s 2%, but only on what you are receiving, so it’s like 1%
    Aff – ohhh…what does that mean…I only have to pay 1%
    MF – nono…you pay 2%, but since the amount is 50% it’s only 1%
    Aff – ohhh…huh…???
    MF – you sold $100 product, you get $50(50%), you pay 2% on the $50 which is like 1% on the $100
    Aff – but….I don’t make the $100, so how is that a benefit
    MF – well, you only pay half of what you normally would
    Aff – ummm okay….were you a used car salesman
    MF – yeah….how did you know?
    Aff – lucky guess…anyways rainman, you got an aspirin….my head is fucking killing me….

    I love the “subtle” way he is attempting to convey his real message. How he is “honest” and how affiliates make so much money, but without saying it…..ohhh fuck yeah…it fooled me…..

    That’s some fuzzy sounding moth alright. On the plus side, anybody who’s smart and making real money isn’t going to fall for that. Which means he’ll probably just be picking up crumbs. Guess these guys are reaching for whatever straws they can.

    The day his ego died? Filsaime seems to periodically “retire”, give away the store, have some epiphany that makes him just another of those poor little guys just like us——all to snare a few more naive, soft hearted types for his list and boiler room.
    No matter what story he’s peddling today though, the exploitation machine never stops churning.

    Oh, that’s hysterical! A product called, “The day his ego died.” In Filsaime’s case, that will be never. It will surely outlast his mortal coil and try to hustle any archaeologist that accidentally digs it up.
