That's from 2005, schmuck.
Quote from TraderZones:
Sorry Brandon, but I think it is improper for you to come across on the free mentoring shtick and misuse EliteTrader without paying a sponsorship, when the purpose of your site is this:
"EARLY REGISTRATION DISCOUNT: If you sign up before Aug. 12, you will receive the entire workshop for $995 ($300 off or 23% off the regular price). So act now as this Live coaching event will sell out!
REMEMBER, THIS EVENT IS ONLY OPEN TO 10 ATTENDEES, FIRST COME FIRST SERVE - NO EXCEPTIONS.
ADDED BONUS: If you sign up by August 12th I will also include a THREE Month subscription to my Live Hotcomm Trading Room. This is a $1230 value. I AM PAYING YOU TO ATTEND THIS 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEED COURSE. You will get over $2100 in free services and products by signing up now for $995. DO NOT DELAY. There are only THREE spaces left for this course. This is the LAST TIME it will be offered again.
If you are giving your services completely for free that is one thing, but this blows a big hole in your credibility. Riding the coattails of ET violates the terms of service (as you well know).
I know you will likely come to your defense, and you may justify yourself under the wrap of helping others, but other sponsors pay for this right. And many websites offer lots of freebies. You should pay also, instead of surrounding your intent of making $$$ by playing the part of good-guy, free help, sincere, suffering from cancer, etc.
Some will likely rally to your defense, but if you have the right to free publicity to make $$$, then so should everyone. That is part of the reason nonsignatures were disabled, to keep people from getting a free ride. Having heath issues is irrelevant. Fair is fair.
