Ya know, the stuff that frightens the sponsor programs who consider you as traffic tools and do not want you to outperform them.
Yeah, I spend hours, days, and long nights to impress those who paid my salaries. I got the "no one is paying for that shit" replies.
I lost countless so-called friends by being honest, so I am not really surprised that affiliates are the one and only people being battled by their biggest paying sponsors.
Anyway, hoping to have answered your question.

What I’m about to say is not a personal attack on you, please keep that in mind. I’m just sharing my experience from attending shows over the past 2 decades.
The topics you listed are for beginners. Any affiliate that can send decent traffic should already know these things as they are very basic skills.
Having said that, I’d like to point out that shows are meant to be networking events between service providers (programs, billers, hosts) and people who can send them sales.
The people financing these shows (service providers) have no interest in dealing with Joe Schmo whom is still learning the basics. They want to meet the people that can actually drive significant amounts of sales.
So if you start catering to newbies, you lose the people who are paying big money to attend. The show organizers business model would fall appart.
Now, having said that, let’s also acknowledge that times have changed. The lion’s share of traffic has been consolidated between a few dozen companies and the odd one-man-army.
Its hard for businesses to justify buying big packages while show organizers are dealing with shrinking profit margins.
Do I have the answer to their problems? No. But I definitely know that encouraging the growth of everybody’s business is the way forward, even if that means paying for tickets that used to be free
