down to the beach at sunset. Sometimes I just go in the water, and sometimes I surf for an hour. I spend a lot of time learning the Indonesian language as well, which I’ve really come to appreciate. I’m at a stage where I can pick up a book and read through it (although quite slowly), so that is something I’m trying to do as often as I can. If a fellow iGaming aficionado had just 24 hours to experience your city, where would you take them to capture the essence of your local culture and hotspots? Bali is such an interesting place to be. You have a complete mix of the local lifestyle, a huge party scene, and big expat communities. I’ve slowed down quite a bit on the partying since I got here, but I would for sure still bring someone to one of the famous beach clubs that we have here. Since my girlfriend is from Indonesia, we have also been trying out a lot of the local food places, which I’ve come to appreciate a lot. So for sure we’d go to one of the warungs (local restaurants) to eat some nasi campur. Taking the bike inland to places such as Ubud, Sidemen, or Kintamani will also showcase some of Bali’s beautiful scenery, such as huge rice fields, waterfalls, and local villages. The more touristy areas of Bali, such as Canggu, Seminyak, and Uluwatu, are full of high-quality restaurants that serve both Indonesian and Western food. So it’d probably be a visit to one of these after drinking a couple of coconuts on the beach during sunset. List three things that people reading this magazine don’t know about you. 1. I had a huge fascination of solving Rubik’s Cubes growing up, so I got into something called “speed cubing.” Although I am not able to do it as fast anymore, I have been able to solve a Rubik’s Cube in about 10 seconds. 2. In 2014, I participated in the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest. 3. I have another YouTube channel solely dedicated to posting fingerstyle guitar arrangements of famous songs. understanding of the process, the expectations, as well as an understanding of my own philosophies and values. I could double down on paid advertisement or short-form content on other platforms such as Instagram or even TikTok, in order to try to grab the attention of the people who are more interested in the “Make 10k/mo. in 7 days” marketing. But in my opinion, that would lower the quality of members’ interaction, and also most probably attract more unsatisfied members with unreasonable expectations. The goal is not to create an army of franchised white-labeled casino affiliate websites, but to teach people how to get creative in the process as well. For someone considering entering the iGaming affiliate marketing space today, what would be your top piece of advice, based on your experience? For someone considering entering the iGaming affiliate marketing space, my best advice would be to actually get started. The barrier to entry is a lot lower than what most people might think. Of course, at one point there are investments that need to be made – but buying a domain, getting a hosting plan, and setting up a website will not cost you that much money. Another good piece of advice that goes great with this is something that I’ve already mentioned. A beautiful website will not make you money; an optimized website that loads fast, is easy to navigate, and responsive for mobile users will. Don’t get stuck in the “launching” phase for too long. Only by launching your website can you start learning from your mistakes, but also start understanding the impact of the things you are doing correctly. Do you gamble? I do not gamble at all. Even before entering this space, it was just not something I was interested in. I do not take any moral stance on gambling, as I am quite liberal in the sense that people are free to make their own choices in how they want to spend their time and money. Most people see gambling as just a way to hopefully end up with more money than what they started with, but I do understand the aspect of seeing gambling as entertainment as well. It’s not like we can go to an amusement park and ride roller coasters for free, and in that case you definitely cannot end up with more money than what you paid for the ride. How do you recharge and find balance outside of your demanding professional life? Are there any personal hobbies or interests you’d like to share with our readers? I find it quite hard to find balance outside of work. My phone is with me all the time, and I constantly have people writing to me, be it the affiliate managers on Skype, someone from the internal team on Slack, or one of the community members inside of CasinoAffMastery. Even though I don’t really do eight hours of intensive work every day, it’s always there in the back of my mind. I do enjoy it, but it’s hard to completely shut off sometimes. Some of the moments where I can completely unwind are when I’m away from my phone. I love to treat myself to an hour of massage, which also gives me some time away from my phone. My girlfriend and I are trying to make it a tradition to go My strategies have never been revolutionary. I have never created anything ground breaking, I have simply gone off the things that I’ve seen work hundreds of times for others. The information is all out there, and it lies in the competitor’s analysis. Adam Axelsson GPWA AFFILIATE INTERVIEW SERIES GPWAtimes.org 54
