Depends on your attitude. I would LOVE to have a whole bunch of affs I didn't know turn up because it cost them nothing. I would talk to them and try and get them to promote my clients' programs. In fact, I am in talks with one show organiser to put on a newbs' seminar right now.
You would probably just moan about how stuff isn't like it used to be. And content is king and all your usual drivel
That would make me profit. And it wouldn't cost the show organisers profit, because currently these people are not coming anyway. In fact, it would increase the org's profit because if they could guarantee x number of affiliates, more program owners would pay to come.

I would relish some less experienced affiliates. We could show them what to do, help them make more money. It would take a couple of seminars, sure. But isn't a trade show where you GO FOR SEMINARS? lol.

Paul, all you every bloody do is moan and cry like a baby. Rather than sitting there crying like a bitch don't you make some positive suggestions?
I know you don't really get this whole online thing, but did your mother never teach you that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?
Sigh.
