🎥 Watch the full episode:
🚀 From Content Manager to Affiliate Pro
About three years earlier, Tim was a content manager. An American company invited him to become an affiliate manager, with zero experience. 🚀
He spent all his free time learning SEO, web development, affiliate marketing and ecommerce, then started running affiliate campaigns himself. 📚
He was later hired as a PR director at another company, and started Addays as his own project. 💼
🌍 Why He Started Addays
Addays (Addays Digital Events) has one aim: help the digital markets of developing countries grow to the level of markets like the US. 🌍
He chose Vietnam first because he believes it’s the fastest-growing market. Next: Latin America (Chile, Argentina, Brazil), then Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, India and Thailand. 🗺️

🎉 An Overcrowded First Event
Tim expected 500–550 people and got more than 800. People arrived wanting to pay in cash at the door, and they ran out of printed badges. 🎉
He had run local events in Russia, but this was his first international event. He wanted to bring a European culture of professional digital events to Vietnam. 🇻🇳
📘 Learning Facebook Ads by Testing
“The best content about Facebook marketing will never be shared by anyone.” You can read blogs and forums like STM, but you must test it yourself. 🧪
Tim learned how the Facebook newsfeed and targeting work by asking IT friends, and now runs campaigns himself, buying very cheap clicks in Vietnam. 📘

🇮🇳 His Advice for the Indian Market
Many Indian affiliates start with about $30 and go after the US market, where that’s barely enough for one conversion. 💸
His advice: develop your native market. In Russia, he says, favorable laws let hundreds of affiliate networks appear and grow into global companies in about four years. 🇷🇺
His India events would feature only local companies and local speakers teaching how to make money in India. 🤝
