Quite good that a massive corporation like the BBC approched me to help them :P

Nice, did you get paid?
How much?
and I will apply.

**mattonline** · 05-09-2007 11:13 AM

No didn't get paid, i wasn't after the money really.
It just looks good for my forum that the BBC approched it and asked me to help.
And if you apply don't forget to discuss it in that thread i want to know about the people and there ideas who apply

will be interesting.

sounds like you should be getting paid my friend. good luck

**mattonline** · 05-09-2007 11:25 AM

Its not about the money, but would be great if someone signs up by looking at the information on my website, and would be even better if someone who gets the money from the dragons because of what i posted

You know the dragons?
You know Duncan Bannatyne, Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Richard Farleigh and Theo Paphitis.

Thread moved to the correct section. Dragon's Den is not for internet ventures, although some have featured on there its more for a wide range of entrepreneurs which is why it is sutied and appropiate to be in General Business.

How could i gain publicity from this apart from saying dragons den has approched me to advertise there services.

Dragons Den isn't giving me anything in return.

Hi Matt,
Can't actually see any proof that dragons' den actually did approach you. The text could as well have been written by you. Perhaps if you made it more personal, say that NN (I assume you have a contact name?) from the production team contacted you and asked if you could make the following information available, and quote from the email? Or a bit about the phone chat if that is how it came about. Perhaps then more people would pick it up. Or you could have invited them to go on the forum to post the plug in their own name - that way you could have put the word out that you are the forum of choice for dragons den in their new recruitment round

Oh and the first line - did you mean to write they are (rather than "there" x2 ?) - doesn't make sense with "there".
Isn't it always the same though, everyone wants something for free...

Not at all surprised they offered nothing in return.

**postman da rich kid** · 05-09-2007 03:59 PM

Im sorry i'm not sure how its going to benifit you in ANY way. they are using you for free advertising.

**mattonline** · 05-09-2007 04:04 PM

Urm, he asked me to do this and sent me all the information, i really can't give away too much information on the details such as email address and name etc, but here the email he sent

I had to cross out most of his details and other peoples on my google pannel, but i suppose you could verify it by looking at the sponserd links on the site all relate to dragons den and BBC, thats really the only way i can prove and you could take my word :P

hope this will clear some issues up with you.

Email sent.
