GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 34 - February 2016

the GPWA community. I met many inter- esting contacts through the GPWA. You’ve been a member for nearly nine years, but are one of our many “lurkers.” What prompts you to join in a forum dis- cussion in the rare case that you do? I am not a fan of forums and talking in pub- lic. I found many nice guys on the site, but we continued our discussions on Skype. I am sure the forum is the best in the indus- try, but I work differently. What do you like about the industry? Two things. Your success depends only on your ideas and hard work. And you can do it wherever you are, with your PC or other mobile device, all day long. What do your family and friends think of your work as an affiliate? For my friends it is a “closed book,” strange and danger- ous, but I work with my family members, so everyone in my family is used to me walking everywhere with my notebook and earning money virtually. Do you gamble online? If so, what do you play? Sometimes I play online poker freerolls for fun. Online gambling can be very dangerous. How do you manage your to-do lists? Do you use any special software to help you out? I just have paper notebook and pencil. I am an archaeologist, you remember . . . Howmuch time do you devote to SEO and social networking to drive more traffic to your sites? E-PLAY has fan pages and profiles on social media, and we publish many posts on them every day. One of them is my responsibility, and I devote about one hour to it daily. What’s the most difficult thing about running your sites? I don’t think there’s anything difficult about running our sites. Of course when you don’t see hard work as difficulty . . . What’s the best thing about running your sites? Argumentative comments in our news and new depositing players. What do you do to stay in shape – both physically and mentally? Physically — I live on the fourth floor and there’s no el- evator in my building. Mentally — my woman, my kids, my family. What do you do with your spare time? What spare time? What did you dream of doing, both pro- fessional and personally, when you were a kid? When I was 10 I dreamed of being a football player, and I even played foot- ball until I had to go to high school. Then I dreamed of being an archaeologist for the next few years . . . you know the rest. You grew up in Warsaw, but are now liv- ing in Torun. When did you move? Did it take long to adjust to living in a city about 1/10th the size of Warsaw? I grew up in Warsaw and studied in Warsaw, but since then I have moved very often, liv- ing for a few years in many different cit- ies. Why Torun? A few years ago I met a woman I wanted to live with and she is from Torun. Torun is one of the prettiest cities in Poland. If someone from out of town were visit- ing you, what’s the one place you’d defi- nitely take them to see? Only one? The Old Town and the Vistula panorama of Torun is named one of the seven Polish wonders. And it is. When you need to get as far away from work as possible, where do you go? My family has a small countryside estate where sometimes there is no Internet nor phone signal. It is the best place to hide away from work. What’s your all-time favorite movie? Le Grand Bleu. If you could invite any five people, liv- ing or dead, to dinner, who would they be? Diego Maradona and the guys from Depeche Mode. Name three things that people reading this magazine don’t know about you. 1. In high school I was a drummer in a punk rock band. 2. When I was returning from excavations in Israel, I smuggled a rifle cartridge in my luggage. 3. I cook really well. GPWA AFFILIATE INTERVIEW SERIES Błażej (left) and his brother Iwo, E-PLAY’s CEO.
