I Hate You All – Now Give Me Your Money

Here’s something to think about. If marketers and sales people were truly empathetic towards you, wanted the best for you,  they would try to make where you hang out together a better place. If they were smart enough to try and build a long term relationship….You don’t go smash up your mother’s house when she invites you over for dinner now do you? (well maybe you do but I would imagine you also have a police record and probably a current restraining order, as well as that cheesy “get 10000 more Twitter followers eBook”).

How many of those businesses, marketers and sales people do you see in social networking who are working to make the place better for YOU?

I am talking to you BIG NAME GURU who is selling your system for leveraging Twitter followers or Facebook friends or whatever piece of crap where you try to link causation to some form of action because the gullible or the desperate REALLY WANT THIS TO WORK.  I don’t need to rely on you for my next pay check and so am not afraid to shit in this nest.

Leaders look to what the environment they work in will be in the next few years; parasites suck the life out of whatever is there now with no regard to the future. There are so many crimes of opportunity happening in the internet marketing world right now under the guise of “good marketing practice”.  Bricks through windows and defacing graffiti is changing the happy, sunshine drenched paradise that could have been, into a ghetto.(OK I am laying it on way too thick here but you know what I mean…*tapping into your nostalgia of things that never were*)

There are few rules in my house, but one of the often uttered ones are “don’t whinge if you aren’t doing something to fix it”.  To fix it I am going to raise my army of ethical, environmentally friendly fembots/ mandroids to show the world what can be done with a little forethought.  Or I am going to sink back into the mire and make this franchising product I have been mulling over.brickthroughwindow

    I’ve considered calling out the carpet bombers and cheaters.
    But I haven’t kept a list.
    This message needs to be read by all marketers -
    especially the “top”.
