Just Denied Affiliate Registration For The Show
 

WTF????
If I'm not an affiliate, then who is?

Both myself and my wife Claudia Marie got letters from Internext/AVN saying that we didn't qualify for Affiliate Registration!!!!!

Anybody from Internext or AVN on here?

I didn't even know they had an affiliate registration where is that lol..

they should be here since gfy and avn closely watches over internext.

contact someone there

Historically they don't like it if you also have your own affiliate program or produce your own content, they want siloed affiliates who just run free sites and send 100% of their traffic to affiliate programs.

Historically I've had an affiliate registration every year to the show. Including last year, the year before, etc, etc

I'm wondering what is going on with that? Am I suddenly no longer in the business in their opinion? :(

Merry Christmas!

In the past, InterNext offered free tickets to affiliates, performers, and developers. However, those tickets only granted access to InterNext, while entry to the AVN Expo required a separate $300 ticket. Since merging with AVN, a single ticket now provides access to both shows, and free tickets are only available to affiliates.

I’ve been informed that your application was submitted under Claudia Marie, which is a paysite. Τhis is why the application was declined.

For over six months, the combo ticket for InterNext and AVN was available at $275 (with a price increase just yesterday). This price is an incredible value for the opportunities and connections both shows offer.

As members of this community, it’s vital for us to support events like AVN and InterNext, which are challenging and costly to produce. Your participation helps sustain and grow these essential industry gatherings.

Thank you for understanding, we look forward to seeing you at the event.

As always at the home page of our site:

Yeah, I own a paysite and 9 freesites and have been an affiliate since being an affiliate of a porn site became a thing in the 1990's.
What do I need to do?
Re-apply and not have the paysite listed???

Or just buy a ticket for $350.

There is a "Cuckold Sissy" conference going on at the same time. You can definitely score free ticket there, cheap ass. :2 cents:

🤣 Merry Christmas

I just registered... hopefully I won't be denied either.

Well, at least you will know someone else there...

Like your mother

I cannot for the life of me imagine making a fuss over $350.

I would say this.. the past is very much in the past. There aren't dozens of sponsors spending hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions and there aren't hundreds of people, let alone the thousands, buying tickets. The day of the free affiliate ticket was a biproduct of a larger industry with more people and a hell of a lot more spend.

If we want events like this to succeed and re-grow from the ashes of the last half decade, then they need to sell sponsorships and passes. MojoHost has re-joined financial participation with an Internext booth this year. Do I know if I will generate sufficient new business to cover those expenses? Absolutely not. However, I know that I can't sit on the sidelines buying a badge and hoping for things to magically get better without investing the time and money to truly participate. At the end of the day, to make a great show as many of us as possible have to actually show up, have some financial participation, and meet 'n greet the next generation of producers and developers.

I hope to see everyone there, old and new. After 25 years and an industry apocalypse I realize it can only be a great show if people like me, and all of you, really get invested in making it a great show. Nobody is going to do this for us.

$300 fucking dollars. What a baller! :1orglaugh
Rent your wife out to 2 black high school graduation parties and you have it. Free business tip of the day. :2 cents:

I'll chip in $100 for Robbie's pass. Anyone else want to help? :)

In for another $100 if he lets Brassmonkey do Dirty Sanchez to his wife.

Kinda this.

Some situations not being comped would be hella disrespectful, but AVN doesn't even comp talent.

I've got a booth at this AVN.

FWIW, I used to go to AVN with a press pass and I paid for Internext. One year ages ago, after talking to some comped affiliates who pushed way fewer joins than I did, I expressed annoyance about paying and was asked if I'd want to not have my company name on there. And I was just like, okay, yeah, I've got $150 bling with this badge. (It cost less then.)

Scammer, bet welcher. You made a bet saying you’d leave this forum. You lost. Gtfo

Well said Brad! - We are sponsoring the meet market at Internext and looking forward to seeing everyone there. Between Xbiz LA and Internext, we hope to see all of our long time industry friends, awesome clients (like Robbie & Claudia), and looking to meet many new NETbilling customers as well!

I worked for a summit company for 3.5 years, boring work. 3 months of the year they were running like a chicken without a head in the office pretending to be functional.

never seen anything useful for affiliates organized, to be honest. I came with tons of ideas; they were all... not program-friendly, meaning, where is the cash in informing people?

Most of the time we were geared to sell sponsor ships, telling those sponsors they would find new affiliates. They did not. obviously...

I've witnessed a few individuals invest large sums of money in hosting a $50,000 party with the expectation that they will reap significant rewards a week later. Nothing more but empty Skype conversations with no retention. All those are now broke or went in another direction after telling me how disappointed they were; I can't blame them.

I think shows are more for companies only to show off to each other, burn some budget, gain pics with some captains in it everywhere, and share drinks.

Unless you want to hear and see on seminairs how traffic selling companies try to show you their slide shows of their website or cam companies telling you how you can make more when you send more traffic... its the same all the time.

Maybe I am to pessimistic; I just do not see the value for affiliates unless they have something to sell to a sponsor and want some free drinks and hotel room in return.

:upsidedow

I think there is absolutely money in informing people. What sorts of things did you suggest?

Most shows these days are filled with:

CC processors
Cam companies
Dating companies
Traffic whores (I mean, brokers)
Assorted talent looking bored/confused/frustrated/drunk

Good times! :)

Proof?

Or you mad you can't afford to attend a show too?

Proof: you made a bet with Mr Pheer. You lost. The terms of the bet was you and all your nics would be banished from GFY. You lost. Yet, you’re still here. Now you’re trying to weasel your way back in. You stole from every honorable webmaster who’s ever made a bet, lost, and paid. That is the consequence of your actions. You are a POS scammer. That’s that.

I have not once not paid for a ticket and as a content producer, I was neither one of the rich people throwing around champagne (like those who made bank from stealing my content), nor did I ever benefit from everyone try to crawl up my ass to get my traffic.

Barely any invites to dinners, parties, no cash put in my hands to go gamble or buy hookers.

And still I paid for my tickets. Plus travel from Europe.

Stupid me.

1: How to make traffic without buying it
2: How to check if a sponsor is long-term and honest
3: How to make a blog post and score better than the program you are selling
4: What is linkspun and how to use it?
5: How to check if your webmaster partners are not out to screw you behind your back
6: How to make a w/b label and make it work for you
7: How to use analtics and how to read Ahrefs to become informed

etc etc ...

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.

Asshole.

Pillsbury boy is scared to find out that internet has different rules than the real life. He isn't likely to run his mouth about "falcons" with Columbian boys who run webcam market for people who aren't allowed to enter US of A.

seriously?

You are just being mean right now. Attending a show is not that difficult; it even gets better when you have an ounce of snif to give away and become the hero of the toilet area.

Any sucker can attend a show, but if a show did what it promised, any fool with decent work ethic would be a millionaire.

oh yeah... thats a burn.

Cartagena (lalexpo) was... an experience. Affiliates would be taken for a ride, deep into the jungle, just to be hailed as heroes.

It's official:

WTF??? I guess they are not wanting affiliates to attend?

Yeah, it is crazy since most of the big OFM agencies are benefiting my traffic. :pimp

I spoke to a few people who will just go to do business at the round bar. They are not interested in attending any of the seminars or looking at tables.

Guys, I love you both, and you know it! But let's be honest, you're both business owners stretching the definition on "affiliate" and giving it a higher weight than the fullness of what you actually are in order to justify getting a free badge under norms that were acceptable 18 years ago. By your desired definition, everyone that is receiving affiliate checks should qualify for an affiliate badge... and that would be everyone, wouldn't it? It would, because everyone is getting affiliate checks.

The whole idea of a free affiliate badge is outdated, I think. Even offering a free affiliate badge is clinging on to the past because the numbers have changed. This was relevant when there were hundreds of programs spending millions in sponsorship and thousands of affiliates that those sponsors wanted to meet - but that was 2005.

They just shouldn't do it anymore in my opinion because it results in the general unhappiness I'm seeing in this thread. When really, everyone needs some skin in the game, no different than every other kind of business conference, to take their event expectations and contributions more seriously.

Don't shoot me. Drinks are on me :thumbsup :helpme
