I don't think there's a way to secure a website or email service, just as there is no way to keep me from faxing Marketimer to my friends. So why not do what other financial advisory services do, which is pack the website full of paid commercials? For example, I used to pay to subscribe to Zacks Investment Service. At some point they quit charging me the $100 or so a year they used to charge and I now get it for free, but they pack the site full of ads and web links. I don't mind. I ignore the ads just as I ignore the commercials on Money Talk. Zacks benefits from the ad revenue, some ad agency benefits from selling the space, the sponsor must benefit or they wouldn't buy the space, and I benefit by getting for free the content I used to pay for. Everyone's happy; what's wrong with that?
