MWM Interview Jeremy Gislason: AInterview Editor:
This time, we're chatting with someone who's made and continues to make a real impact in the world of online marketing. He's one half of the duo behind Promote Labs, who have developed products such as ProductDyno Feedback Fox and Post Gopher, alongside hundreds, if not thousands, of other information products and websites and so on. Together with his business partner, Simon Hodgkinson, Jeremy Gislason is also a super affiliate product creator and even licences various online properties. Jeremy, welcome. Jeremy Gislason: Hi, happy to be here. Editor: Well, my first question is, based on what I've just said, when do you rest? Jeremy Gislason: When do I rest? Well, yeah, I mean, actually, I mean, I wouldn't say resting, but I try to take a lot of breaks. I work from home, so no commute, no stressful office conditions. It's a pretty relaxed atmosphere. So about every hour, I'll just get up from a desk and go play with the dogs or go outside and sit on the patio or talk to my wife or just run an errand. And so I don't really feel like I'm working all day. I just do things as needed, whether it's morning, afternoon, nighttime, whatever. I just kind of just do things. So, yeah.
Editor: It's obvious that you enjoy what you do. Jeremy Gislason: Yes. Editor: Maybe you could tell me a little bit more about your background and how Promote Labs came about. Jeremy Gislason: Sure. I mean, everything has a long story, but I'll try to give the short version. So I was living in Japan back in the 90s. That's where I met my wife and we had three boys over there and we had our own English school where I taught English as a second language back in the 90s. I was a bit younger back then, had a bit more energy and it was a lot of fun. I worked with a lot of kids.
