With all due respect, I'll have to agree with Scott here.
If you wish to help people out, answer questions, post links to univercd,
share your experiences, etc is probably better idea than keep emailing and
phone'ing w/ sales pitch.
Yes, don't get me wrong. I really do appreciate your best intention to help
people out, there is no question about it. In fact, I hear number of success
stories from a few people who were your students in the past.
But what you are doing here is business, not assistance. Providing assistance by
charging money means you are looking for customers, whether your intention is
to help them succeed or just sell them a product. So if you wish to conduct
business, that's cool and all; just do it like a real vendor. Use your
signature, setup a web site, and act like a real vendor please. It doesn't
take a lot of funds to setup off-the-shelf and effective marketing for
consulting and certification assistance services. You can use your own
connection at home or find zillions of cheap web hosts out there to get your
site online, and designing simple web site w/ key contents isn't that hard.
All in all, what you are doing here is like someone on isp-bandwidth mailinglist
posting a sales information to their IP transit service trying to sell a DS3
line, then saying "I am helping out small ISPs looking for cheap transit."
I dunno about groupstudy, but in isp-bandwidth list, your just violated AUP.
CCIE assistance sales is in the same context.
Thanks,
