I’ve been involved in Affiliate Marketing for over four years. I had started as VIP Affiliate Manager at 888.com, which is one of the largest online gambling operators in the world. It has been the best school for online adverting and of the affiliate industry.

Then I was holding the position of Affiliate Director at Duplicate Poker, which is a skill based online poker. I built the program from scratch, and was responsible for building the program, doing sales and lead generation, and managing the entire operation.

I’ve been taking part in all the Affiliate’s industry biggest summits and conventions, and also conventions such as SES (Search Engine Strategies), Ad Tech, Web Master World etc.

I have a deep knowledge of the online and affiliate marketing world, search engines and the internet in general.

After four years in the online gambling industry, I had decided I need a change, and joined AffiliatePLY.com, as I love the idea behind, the fact that it is a unique network and I believe there is a great a potential here.

Reading and learning about online and affiliate marketing, I came across more and more articles and researches about the power of online video ads and content, and the growing use and interest in it, but both advertisers and users.
