Other than that, I dabbled in every aspect of the online marketing space \u2013 from SEO and Google AdWords to website design and website development for the last 12 years. I started off in SEO and then gradually taught myself website development and design. I used to teach a one-day crash course in SEO in South Africa (where I am originally from).<\/span> What is your passion?<\/strong><\/span><\/p> A fun fact about me…<\/strong><\/p> I\u2019m a baker-holic.

I\u2019m very, very prone to getting technical. And if I\u2019m going over your head, you\u2019ve got to stop me and ask me. Otherwise, I assume you know what I\u2019m talking about.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
