PokerStrategy.com: Hello there thunderbird56 and thanks for taking out of your referral time to do this interview. Let's start with a few words about you.
thunderbird56: Hi . First of all, it is my pleasure to be interviewed by PokerStrategy.com. And now about me: I'm a 26 year old guy from Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. I have just completed my university, and promoting PokerStrategy.com is now one of my part time jobs.
PokerStrategy.com: When did TAF come into the picture for you and how? What was the main motivation behind referring: making money, enjoying poker with friends, advertising the game of poker or anything else?
thunderbird56: To be honest, I was playing just like a gambler prior to discovering PokerStrategy.com. My game was then improved so much thanks to the wonderful educational content. In the meantime, I also found out the TAF program and thought "why don't I share such a great site with everyone and earn some extra dollars for my bankroll?". That was the first motivation in my TAF career. Now, those "extra dollars" have become part of my income.
Having a website is a must for successful referrals
PokerStrategy.com: You seem to have put a lot of hard work and dedication into this and you've become one of the most successful TAF referrers. Let's ask the big question: What is actually your secret?
thunderbird56: There are many ways to promote something, such as posting on forums, sharing on Facebook etc... But to gain huge success, having a website is a must. I soon realised that and started building my personal portal. In the early days, it was just a bunch of simple HTML pages. Now it is a beautiful site on which PokerStrategy.com is the core content.
PokerStrategy.com: That's a great strategy and yes, your website is very nice. Since TAF is a big part of your day, how do you split your time dedicated to poker nowadays? How much is TAF and how much is playing poker? How does a normal day look like for you?
thunderbird56: It was especially hard in the beginning when it took me a lot of time every day to do SEO things for my site (so that I have new sign-ups at PokerStrategy.com). Now things have become easier as the site has been ranked on Google and has visitors regularly. In a typical day, I spend a couple of hours for TAF, mainly answering questions regarding PokerStrategy.com on my own forum, 4-5 hours for playing, and the rest for "offline" life.
PokerStrategy.com: Thanks to your great work, you've become a TAF role model. What would you advise fellow PokerStrategists looking to get into TAF? How can they become as successful as you are?
thunderbird56: The TAF scheme is always a great tool anyone can use to boost his/her bankroll. You can earn some extra money easily with little work, but in case you wish to earn some big bucks, invest into having a website. After all, in my opinion, patience and honest promotion are the keys.
PokerStrategy.com: Thank you very much for your time and good luck with your massive TAF project!
