I pushed the car a bit to get there in time.
And we did, but …
No tours today.
We will try again on Thursday.
It’s a bit harder because we are now in Townsville, which is a two-hour drive to Tully for the tour.
Still, workers are allowed to strike.
Just not when we want to see them working.
Tomorrow, we’re off to Magnetic Island for the day.
Look that up to see what we’re doing.
We’ll hire a car over there because it works out cheaper to do that than take our car.
I plan to snorkel, cruise the island and eat seafood.
This caravan park has a small flock of curlews resident.
When it gets dark, they get noisy.
Listen to the soundtrack here.
.
More fun tomorrow.
Regards,
Brent.
It’s time to move on. We did a test drive through part of the road we’ll be using tomorrow. The map, admittedly an older one, shows the road as being sub-standard. I don’t like dragging our 23-year-old caravan over rough roads. I have done it very slowly, without any damage to the van, but I don’t like it.

Well, we let the GPS in the phone manage the route today.
I’m pleased that we didn’t have the van on behind.
We had the usual GPS foul-up and ended up on a single-lane dirt road with 200+ m drop-offs on each side.
So steep they farm mountain goats crossed with dairy cattle.
They couldn’t crop those paddocks, and I don’t even know how they get around their properties.
It’d be a challenge on foot.
“Dave, could you rappel down to the lower 40 to check Daisy? I think she’s stuck in the mud again.”
Maybe the kids grow up with one leg shorter than the other so they can walk around their backyard.
I don’t know how they get back home.
The trip was worth it though.
We saw some fascinating and stunningly beautiful country.
After the cross-country adventure, the roads became boring, how I like them.
Anyway, it’s time to leave this place and check out Tully and Townsville.
Tully holds the record of being the wettest place in Australia.
On average, Tully gets more rainfall in December and January than my hometown of Adelaide gets all year.
The sheer volume of water flowing in the creeks and rivers in Queensland is mind-boggling.
To say nothing about the vegetation.
All to be expected in a rainforest.
Regards,
Brent.
P.S. Check this video out,
.
It’s the first of the videos in the new channel.
I’m working on the third one now.
Since we are still on holiday and in Queensland, I’m not planning much. Since leaving home, other than driving long distances, I have created a few videos, set up a system to get others to promote those videos, set up an auto-blogging system, and written quite a few emails.

Since leaving home, other than driving long distances, I have created a few videos, set up a system to get others to promote those videos, set up an auto-blogging system, and written quite a few emails.
We’ve also been on train, boat, bus, and a gondola-based cable car ride.
I’ve donated fishing tackle to a lake.
Some people call it fishing.
I call it casting practice and sometimes tackle donating.
When I lived in Darwin, we called it catching.
That’s all holiday stuff, so back to business.
The auto blogging system isn’t working correctly yet, but it will be soon.
It’s yet another experiment.
Am I motivated to do this?
Not really.
I like to do things on the computer, but I’d rather watch YouTube videos than make them.
I’d rather read my emails than write them.
In truth, I’d rather do almost anything but the work.
Doing what I’d rather be doing doesn’t get me closer to my goals.
This does: https://nomad-productions.convertri.com/motiiv8n.

There were some unexpected challenges with setting up what I talked about in the last email. The last little viral hack proved a little more difficult than I expected. If you’re following along and decided to put that into action, it’s really easy. But, if you’re like me and always want to
͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏

There were some unexpected challenges with setting up what I talked about in the last email.
The last little viral hack proved a little more difficult than I expected.
If you’re following along and decided to put that into action, it’s really easy.
But, if you’re like me and always want to push the boundaries a little, there was an unexpected challenge.
My new channel currently has two videos, and I decided to try to make them both go viral.
Managing that hack for one video is relatively simple.
Step one: Set up a new email address somewhere.
Step two: Turn on the Out-of-Office feature.
Step three: Write an Out-of-Office email with the link to the bonus.
See? Simple.
But when you try to do this for two videos and want to send a different bonus for each video, it doesn’t work unless you have a new email address for each video.
What happens when you want to do this for five or ten videos?
That could get very unwieldy very fast.
So, what to do?
I did come up with an answer that I have implemented.
It involved creating a page for each video to which the description links.
That page gives instructions to the visitor on what to do to get a bonus.
One of the instructions is to send an email with a set subject line.
Then, I used Make to grab the email, filter for the subject line, and email a link to the appropriate bonus.
When I want to add another video or other content to this group, I need to clone the page, change two things, and add another branch into the Make scenario.
About 5 minutes work.
That’s actually less time than it would take to set up a new email address with another out-of-office email.
If you would like to do something similar, email me and ask.
I can give you a clone of everything I’ve done.
Regards,
Brent.
P.S. What did I use for the bonuses?
You guessed it, a cheat sheet.
One that I made with this: https://go.wm-tips.com/sheets.
They are simply clickbait and have no relationship with what’s inside. Then there are those stupid faces images. The ones where the presenter has a look of surprise or horror. Mouth open, googly eyes, etc. I understand that the thumbnail has to stop the viewer scrolling.
͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏

Mouth open, googly eyes, etc.
I understand that the thumbnail has to stop the viewer scrolling.
Then, the title of the video has to draw the click.
Once you’ve done that, the video has to deliver, or you won’t catch that person again.
Nor will they buy anything from you because they’ll feel scammed.
But YouTube is a great source of free traffic if you can get those things to work together.
That’s pretty much all you need to get working to get good traffic and sales.
YouTube does not work on SEO the same way Google search does.
The thumbnail and title are to get the scroller interested.
The video content is to get them engaged.
The description and tags are for the YouTube algorithm.
Most of your views will come from the suggested videos YouTube shows with the video the viewer is watching and at the end.
How long should the description be, and how many tags should you use?
The description should be 200-300 words.
Make sure you use the keywords in the first or second sentence.
Don’t exceed ten tags, you’ll only confuse the algorithm.
Pretty basic and simple to do.
For those of you who actually read this far, I have a seven-second hack that can make any content go viral.
Offer a bonus to anyone who shares your content on social media or via their email list.
Do not add these people to your email list by making them subscribe for the bonus.
Ask them to email you with a screenshot of their email or post.
Set up a unique email address for this and have it respond with the out-of-office trigger but with the link to the bonus and an offer to join your email list.
You can use Gmail for this because it works fine.
Regards,
Brent.
P.S. What sort of bonus?
How about a cheat sheet on the subject of the content?
Make one quickly with this: https://go.wm-tips.com/sheets.
True story. Yesterday, we were treated to a presentation by a marine biologist. She told us that during the Covid years, the big fish in the Cairns Aquarium began behaving as though they were depressed. The staff were puzzled until they noticed that the fish were paying a lot more attention to them as they moved around than usual.

She told us that during the Covid years, the big fish in the Cairns Aquarium began behaving as though they were depressed.
The staff were puzzled until they noticed that the fish were paying a lot more attention to them as they moved around than usual.
The fish were missing their visitors.
To correct this, the staff began having their coffee breaks and meal breaks where the fish could see them.
It worked.
It didn’t seem to affect the little fish, just the big ones.
Next time you visit an aquarium, remember that while you are watching the fish, they are also watching you.
We went to the aquarium today and let the fish watch us for a while.
I wonder if the animals in the zoo had a similar experience.
Have you heard of any stories like this?
Let me know.
Regards,
Brent.
P.S. I need to give you a little warning about this https://go.wm-tips.com/sheets because I found it had made a mistake.
The last cheat sheet I made had an error that was easily corrected, but errors are errors.
Like most of the content from any AI tool, there will be errors, so you always have to cross-check everything.
No big deal, it’s the same with any written work.
Proofreading is an essential task.
Don’t neglect it.
My trainer said so. I can’t show you yet because I created a new channel for it and Google, in their quest for ever more data points, insists on verifying my identity before permitting me to have clickable links or my thumbnail choice. Do you log in to Google when you view videos?
͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏

Do you log in to Google when you view videos?
You know, so they can help you find more of the type of video you like to watch.
And target ads to you better.
I never log into Google unless I want to check emails, build a video channel, or use their platform in other ways.
I’ve found that the Brave web browser allows me to log into Google in one window, but Google doesn’t see every window, just the one I’ve logged into.
I like that, so I have one window for Google Drive, where I’m logged in.
I have a different window for my email accounts.
Another different window for the AI tools I use.
I watch most of the training videos in the DuckDuckGo web browser because it blocks all those pesky third-party ads and doesn’t show that montage of videos at the end.
You do get a carousel of the videos in the channel you’ve just watched, but that’s all.
So grab both of those.
They’re free and stop using Chrome, the Google tracking bot.
I’m really finding this tool, https://go.wm-tips.com/sheets, extremely helpful.
Give it the title of your video, and it’ll create a relevant cheat sheet for you in seconds.
I copy-paste the generated text into this: https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp filename=tryhtml_default to view the content.
Copy that text into a Google doc and edit it before saving it as a PDF.
It’s all too simple.
Marketing doesn’t have to be complicated to work.

Brent.
We’re just out of Cairns in North Queensland, and I have reasonably good Internet. Heck this is a big country. We have travelled the equivalent of Route 66 in the USA or the E11 path in Europe. It’s raining again. Queensland was supposed to be dry at this time of year, but it’s not.

Heck this is a big country.
We have travelled the equivalent of Route 66 in the USA or the E11 path in Europe.
It’s raining again.
Queensland was supposed to be dry at this time of year, but it’s not.
Tomorrow, we’re of to Green Island for some snorkelling and viewing around the Great Barrier Reef.
I’m looking forward to that.
In other news, I’ve been working on the revamp of that video.
I’m never going to show you the crappy one, but I think this new one is a lot better.
I hope that my trainer agrees.
It’ll be online tonight before bedtime.
I will tell you what his report says, but I won’t give you a link to the video because I don’t want you to skew the tracking.
I might share in a couple of days.
That depends on what results it gets.
If I have to rebuild it again, you won’t get to see it.
Then again, it might be useful for you to see the transition from real crap to partial crap.
The key takeaway is that we can always do better.
All we have to do is take a bit more care.
I know of at least one awkward moment in this latest video, but I hope it won’t cause a problem.
I have made a freebie with this tool, https://go.wm-tips.com/sheets, to entice the click-through from the video.
If that works, I’ll get a bunch of people on an email list.
Now to write a 7-day email sequence for them.
Regards,
Brent.
I’ll ‘fess up. I did screw things up almost 100%. Yeah, I did get some bits right, but overall, it was a terrible effort. And that’s great. But I’m getting ahead of myself. What I got so badly wrong was this. I was following some training on getting free traffic from YouTube.
͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏

And that’s great.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
What I got so badly wrong was this.
I was following some training on getting free traffic from YouTube.
Except, I didn’t follow along at all.
I’m smarter than that.
So I got a little creative, a little lazy, and … lead balloon.
I sent the link to the trainer for feedback, and it was harsh.
Accurate but harsh.
He even said, “I hope you don’t hate me for this review.”
No, I don’t hate him.
I truly appreciate his honesty because that’s how we all learn if we can take the criticism in the spirit it’s intended.
Now, back to the why it’s great.
It’s great because there is only one way to go from here, and that’s to get better.
I have had really poor Internet access for four days now and have not been able to make the necessary corrections, but now I can.
We’ll be here, just outside Cairns in Queensland, for four days.
We want to visit the Great Barrier Reef, my friend, and some other things in the area before moving on.
However, I will also have time to fix the mess I made in my first attempt.
I do have to change everything, so I’ll use this: https://go.wm-tips.com/sheets to make the lead magnet and perhaps a tripwire product.
All to lead people into a sales funnel where I can get paid.

Brent.
