Taste of Success – Affiliate Marketer Alec Torelli

Frederik Drejfald (of nam/offers):
Hi Alec, first of all tell us a bit about yourself. How old you are, where do you come from and where are you going regarding online marketing?
Alec Torelli:
I’m 27 years old from Orange County, California, but I travel the world with my wife playing professional poker and running our online business. What we love the most about it is that it’s portable; we fold up our laptops and our work comes with us. It has allowed us to create the lifestyle we want, traveling and working from anywhere there’s an internet connection
Frederik:
For how long have you been in the industry?
Alec:
I started 7 years ago as an affiliate for PartyPoker, signing people up to play online poker. When I turned pro and dedicated myself full time to poker I gave marketing a break for a few years. It wasn’t until 2009 that I started taking things more seriously and my business has grown ever since.
Frederik:
What do you think it takes to become a good affiliate marketer?
Alec:
Probably the same thing that it takes to become successful at anything: discipline, hard work, patience and a lot of self confidence.
Frederik:
Do you read any affiliate marketing blogs?
Alec:
No, although I talk with people in the industry and share ideas and knowledge. I believe that’s a huge part of learning; be it blogs, people or whatever.
Frederik:
Do you have any affiliate marketing tips that you would like to share with our readers?
Alec:
Find a very specific niche, something that you do well and focus all your attention on that. Don’t try to be the best at everything, just specialize and be the best at the ONE thing that you do.
Frederik:
What affiliate networks do you work with and why?
Alec:
Well of course I love working with NAMoffers. Frederik is great and we’ve been working together for years. He runs his own company and it’s so refreshing to be in touch with the owner who actually has the power to make things happen. He’s one of my biggest clients. Other companies that share his principles are Cpa Infinity, Mundo Media and Get Ads.
Frederik:
If you should give an advice to newbies within Affiliate Marketing what would that be?
Alec:
Don’t give up if you lose a few dollars in the beginning. Think about money as a tool that is needed to make investments. Every time you spend a dollar use it as an opportunity to learn. Think about why and how you can improve your campaigns, and share your experiences with others. You’d be surprised at how much people are willing to help, especially your AM’s
Frederik:
What is your goal for the rest of 2014?
Alec:
Spend every day being grateful for what I have.
Frederik:
