Well, that's coz Brandon beats you to it.
Guys, I share a lot of stuff to, in fact, in the tree game I have over 200 videos that I put out there for people to learn. But I also run a business.
And to eat and live I need to get jobs. To get jobs I need to get calls etc and so goes the evolutionary path to marketing success.
Part of staying ahead of competition is doing the yards, either by yourself, via self teaching or paid help. But when you are ahead of the crowd and want to stay there it's not comforting to know people can just copy.
"what's ekka doing just copy it"
Some bits of info you give out, some you have to pay for etc. Sometimes I cannot for various reasons do what you give away so I pay ... such is life but that's the way it is for me.
I see paying for tuition as an investment. I see paying for services the same. I am a business man (small time) and tree man big time. My world is extremely competitive and anything I can do to get on top of competitors and stay there is important to me, and the less they know about what I do the better.
In fact, upon even joining here I questioned Brandon about transparency. And that it worries me people can use BS gadgets to track back to me to see where I go.
On my own forum I have a hidden area. Yes, it's very active as people dont want their business public, they want some confidence. I have asked if there is such here ... and there isn't. So many times when I post like this I feel my neck is way out there.
The robots.txt file is just another example of the transparency which is to me a negative. If it could work and be hidden is superior isn't it?
