GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 42 - October 2018

How do you manage your to-do lists? Do you use any special soft- ware to help you out? I use a lot of tools, but mostly it’s in my head. I use SEMrush, Google webmaster tools and a bunch of free tools to help me. What’s your approach to SEO and drawing traffic to your site? I solely do SEO on my website to get traffic. It’s perhaps the only thing I really believe in. It’s free and it gets you, in my opinion, the best-converting traffic. I think 80% of my time I spend on SEO. When Google makes moves, I move with them. How much time do you devote to social networking for your site? None. What’s the most difficult thing about running your site? No diffi- culties, despite not having enough time due to still working full-time for a real estate management company. What’s the best thing about running your site? It gives me a buzz, and when everything is running smoothly and my efforts get me results in the SERPS, I feel ecstatic. It gives you the motivation to push on. What do you do to stay in shape – both physically and mentally? I do HIIT exercises a couple of days a week. It drains you physically, but mentally it gets everything organized. What do you do with your spare time? When I have spare time, I spend it with my girlfriend and my boy, doing family things together. What did you dream of doing, both professionally and personally, when you were a kid? Professionally and personally I dreamed of being financial- ly independent, not working for a boss. As a kid, I always wanted to be a pirate, claiming treasure and roaming the seas. If you won $10 million playing the lottery tomorrow, what would you do? I would give away half to a good cause, some to my family and the rest I would invest in my project, to get myself a leading position in the Dutch market. What were you like in high school? A chubby and insecure dreamer. That sums it all up, ha ha. If someone from out of town were visiting you, what’s the one place you’d definitely take them to see? I think I would take them to the Dutch North Seacoast. We have some great long beaches on some islands in the far north of Holland, with nice dunes and places to see. People from out of town will love them. When you need to get as far away from work as possible, where do you go? To one of the Dutch islands for sure, with no phone or access to internet. With only the sound of the sea and wind clearing my head. What are your worst habits? I talk too much, and I’m a little of an extremist in the sense of doing things in regard of work ethics, especially my own project. Always trying to put in the extra mile. Sometimes my girlfriend has to put me back with both feet on the ground. If you were stranded on a desert island, what three items would you take with you and why? Items? I would rather take my boy and my girl- friend. I don’t really care about material things. They are often a necessity. If you could invite any five people, liv- ing or dead, to dinner, who would they be? Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Michael Jackson, Gordon Ramsay and Neil Patel. Name three things that people reading this magazine don’t know about you. 1. Besides being very busy in iGaming, I also lead an official Dutch airsoft team (the scourge division). I really love the adrenaline. 2. I have phobia of spiders. 3. I also worked in a chicken factory. I want to inform players as much as possible , and I also love to write , so it’s a win-win situation . 57 Sebastiaan van Nood | casinozoekmachine
