He got results.
I'm not saying you should mirror what Rosen did. Most people couldn't pull it off. However, don't dismiss it out of hand.

All I was saying Eric. And of all the suggestions people were giving, flashing cash will likely get you the quickest and most attention possible. Think about all the people who go to the shows who want to operate under the table, they start thinking they're getting untraceable, untaxable cash, and THEY....ARE....IN!
And if you do it at a show that isn't as big as the National, you'll definitely get people's attention and become the talk of a smaller show. There's a reason why people like Alan Rosen and Don West were successful. Also why there are all those Shop-At-Home like channels still out there. They wouldn't be there if they weren't selling things to people and making tons of money. Of course, nowadays, it seems it has pushed over even more into the podcasts and other online people/sites who use whatever means they can think of to lure people in, and then hook them with whatever crap they're selling. For example, it is stated fact Alex Jones didn't make all his money from his podcasts, he made most of it from the supplements he was selling to people coming to listen to his podcasts. Like you said about Rosen being an actor, but just a different kind of stage/show to bring all the gullible people in.
