Nothing covert, open book... I advertise that I offer education. I give examples of what you can learn by showing what I do.
I visit several forums to promote my courses, promote my lab, my consulting business, provide free online education and I must tell you this is the most hostile
place on the web where I post.
Several folks here have attended my courses, several may want to in the future, the content always changes.
I do not post these things because I am directed by anyone. I do it because I can directly market to those who may have the greatest
chance of interest.
I have been careful to post in cogent areas of the site. This being the continuing education area I thought it was appropriate.
Check my stats, I have contributed insight and recommendations over the duration of my time participating. Many times its met with
bull****, derogatory comments. I don't post very often here but my post to like ratio seems like its about average.
