Even if you start out strong, you can mess up. Because I, you know, I can't help but be negative to deliver world-building information in a way that feels organic. The only one who could destroy House Targaryen was the House itself. I am pretty picky when it comes to, well, everything. So I was pleasantly surprised that my exacting and specific standards were or have been so far met by House of the Dragon. I've only seen the first episode so far, but it was quite an episode. And I think I've seen enough to be able to say that I have high hopes for this. I mean, the original Game of Thrones show started out really strong and then went downhill. So that's not to say that you can't mess up. Even if you start out strong, you can mess up. But this is a very, very promising start. I have pretty much nothing negative to say. That's not to say that I think that it's perfect. I don't think it's perfect, but there isn't enough of anything to really speak on that I could say here is an entire con, like an entire thing that it did wrong. Like it would just be like specific things in scenes where I'd be like, that like one little piece of dialogue like wasn't quite what I would like or this shot isn't quite what I would like or things like that where like they're very, very nitpicky things. Like this VFX in this one shot was like it looked a tiny bit kind of fake like stuff like that. You know where it's like we are truly searching for reasons to complain at that point. So really this is just gonna be a list of positives but also not just a list of positives because I can't help but be negative. It's a list of positives that I also specifically want to call out because these are things that other shows and even books do badly. And so I really want to call out this show doing it well so far. Doing it well because apparently that's a really high bar. Apparently shows struggle to do this and so far House of the Dragon is acing it, nailing it, absolutely knocking it out of the park. First and foremost, when you're doing a series that is in some way a spin-off, prequel, sequel, something connected to an already existing universe and not just an existing universe but an existing universe that has already been on television by the same network. It is a boon and a hindrance because you have to decide early on, right? If you're going to try to make this be kind of divorced from the original product and have its own stamp, its own look, its own feel or if you want to make it feel like a continuation of or a part of or whatever. So basically are you wanting to acknowledge the existence of the previous thing and emulate its feel and style so that this feels in keeping with the existing what's happened or are you going to actively choose to do things to make it clear to the audience early on that we're doing something different now? So House of the Dragon is very, very much going with we are part of a shared universe with Game of Thrones which I think is the right thing to do especially considering that's what these books are. These books exist and then Fire and Blood which is what House of the Dragon is based on is a prequel for this existing universe. So the show should function the same way that the books do in my opinion so I think that's the right choice. But so that being said, now when you have when you start doing the show, right? Again, it's a boon and a hindrance. Like how much do you want to retread old ground so that a new viewer who has never seen this never seen the original thing that this is sharing universe with someone who's never seen that, never were the books so that they could watch this but also not repeat things and explain things to the point where somebody that has seen that other stuff is like, why are you wasting my time with this? Why are we retreading this? So that's kind of a difficult balance and like a lot of the ways that you're gonna explain things how much are you gonna rely on what they already know from the previous show, from the books? How much are you going to go out of your way to explain it? Again, that's a tough needle to thread, that's a tough line to walk and so far there's only seen one episode this first episode was a brilliant introduction and reorientation into this world. It does a brilliant job through like the overview shots of the place, the shots of the people, the way that it sweeps you through in the early on in the show the way it kind of navigates you through some aerial shots and some shots of the place we will be in at least in the beginning mainly King's Landing. It's fantastic because it does two things. One, it reacquaints you with an existing world so it should look somewhat familiar to you because this is the same place that a lot of Game of Thrones takes place. So kind of welcoming you back into the world of Westeros being like, here's, you know, here's where we are. Westeros, does this look familiar? Does this look like something you know? Are we feeling like we're home again? Great. But also showing you how it's not the same showing you Westeros so that you're like, yes, this is Westeros but also this is a different era of Westeros and I feel that when I watch it. I'm like, oh, this is Westeros of 200 years ago. This feels the same but earlier kind of like, I mean, anywhere in our real world if you showed the place and it's recognizedly that place but looks like it did however many years ago. So both showing us how everything is the same and also how everything is different and getting you sort of oriented physically to the environs of this place or the world that you're going to be in for the duration of this show. It does use some existing Game of Thrones characters to orient you for the time of when this is taking place. And I think that was handled pretty well. Again, it relies on you knowing who Daenerys Targaryen is. However, if you do not know who Daenerys Targaryen is, I mean, that you don't really need to be oriented in a time as much I suppose but if you already have seen Game of Thrones, it's helpful to know, okay, so like I know this is the past but like how far back? And so having this text on the screen tell you exactly how many years before Daenerys Targaryen, this is taking place. I think was a good idea. A good way to very quickly cliff notes a version of like now you have a very like a real point of reference, you know, for like, okay, I can like, you know, maybe not visualize that is the right word but you have a internal kind of sense of kind of like when you're shown things for scale, you know, like you have a sense of like when this is. So that was well done. So only to set the scene of the current political situation. Like this is a really tricky thing to do quickly and in a way that doesn't feel like a lot. Like when you read Fire and Blood, I really enjoyed Fire and Blood. I really liked the book but it is like drinking out of a fire hose. Like the amount of like details he throws at you and character names and events because it's written like a history book.  Like we are whipping through 300 years of history. And so the fact that this show is chosen to start in a midpoint. So we're already like a bit of a ways into Fire and Blood. And so in order to understand what's happening in this point in Fire and Blood, it's like if you're reading the book, you have been building up to this point. You've been following the families and who all is involved and all of the rivalries that have been slowly brewing and the generational politics that have been going on. But the show is dropping you in, in the middle of that already having happened. So not only does it have to orient you in terms of where Game of Thrones is and where this is in relation to that, it also has to kind of catch you up on the stuff it skipped over and not ideally in a way that feels overwhelming or info.b. It does this wonderfully.  Like it throws out some information like that that is general enough to where you don't feel overwhelmed by it. But you're like, I have a sense of kind of how we've come to this point. There is the brief intro telling you how specifically, maybe not every generation that came before what they all got up to and what they all accomplished, which is what you get in Fire and Blood. Basically the bit of sort of exposition prologue that you get is setting up specifically this generation's political situation, this generation's familial politics. Who is, who are the main players and how they are in the positions they are in and what built in rivalry exists in that, i.e. the decision to like the choice of who's gonna be made the heir to the throne and how this is kind of a group decision and how this was not like a given. That precedent is being set by this decision. Somebody was chosen over someone else when they pretty much had an equal chance at being chosen. And so that sets up, this is the person who is in power. They are the king and that's where we're stepping off now. That's the opening situation for this show. They are in power, but we already know that the fact of them being in power was like a 50-50. That it's not exactly the most solid of positions to be in and we get the brilliant bit of foreshadowing in the beginning of the show, which is what the entire sort of premise of this portion of Targaryen history is, is that the reason why this was all done, why they had to have this group decision and it was, you know, had to be decided in this way about who's going to be the heir to the throne was because they knew that the only one who could destroy House Targaryen was the House itself.  So it's a great way to set the scene of like the rocky ground on which we already are and how this house is going to eat itself basically. Setting that up is already like a great jumping off point because you feel oriented at this world, you feel oriented at the situation and you already feel some amount of like stakes and tension and investment in the political situation that you're going to be in now. Like you all, like a lot of shows, you know, kind of how to give you a second to like show you stuff and introduce you to everybody and only then do you start to finally learn what might be the inciting incident or conflict here. And almost at the very beginning of the episode, we already feel the tension that is the sort of key problem that is going to set everything in motion. Like you're already there in the beginning of the episode and it's done so quickly and effectively through like giving you these key pieces of information and key visuals and key scenes so that you're already hooked and there and aware of how tense this is. I mentioned a couple things already. One of those being a visual storytelling and how effectively the show so far and Game of Thrones did this really well as well which is and I believe it's largely the same team doing House of the Dragon. So it's unsurprising that they're excelling at this now as well. But it uses every opportunity to tell the story which is what a good film or television show does where nothing is wasted because every single scene gives you the opportunity to further your story. So the angle of the camera, the clothing that is worn, who is in the scene, the coloring of the scene, the light and shadows in the scene, the music in the scene, all of that should be helping to further the story. So there's a lot of shows that feel like they have dead space and that they feel like they're dragging and they feel like there's nothing going on. And oftentimes that's because there isn't anything going on. But other shows will have slow scenes where like nothing is going on but you don't feel that way about them because they are still serving a narrative purpose even though there is nothing happening because what the scene does do is further develop or explain or introduce a thematic topic to establish something about a character, to establish something about a motivation, to establish something about a situation, things like this. So just having a long shot of someone staring out of a window that can often feel like wasted time and like why are we doing this and it's been five minutes, they're still staring out of a window, why are we doing this? But a well done scene can show you somebody staring out of a window and they can feel like it is doing something for the show. So this isn't a scene from the show or anything but like if you show somebody staring off into the distance, this will feel less like wasted time if it was not a given that they would be doing that, if a previous scene would have made you think that they would not do that. But the fact like perhaps they seemed very confident and aggressive in what they stated in the previous scene which was the scene where something was happening and then you cut to the next scene where they are staring off through the window and the way the light will look and the way that the camera angle is et cetera, the way that the actor performs it, nothing is happening but the fact that you're being shown this scene where they look pensive and this is the moment when they are by themselves tells you something about them as a character and the difference between their public face and their private face and this is important information perhaps in which case that is not a wasted scene it is not wasted time it is developing the character it is developing the situation and gives you more information for how to assess them the next time they are in a public place because now you know the bravado that they show in public is not the same thing as what they might truly be thinking and feeling which is again important and valuable information versus a scene where someone just is staring off into space and you get a VFX shot of like the city below like I guess that's cool that might be good if we are just setting the scene of where this is taking place but a lot of things like that will go on way too long and there's actually no narrative reason to be showing us that so my point is House of the Dragon wastes no time wastes no space wastes no scene every scene is giving you there's a lot of information in Fire and Blood and for that to feel digestible and approachable especially to a member of the audience that has not read it you have to be able to subconsciously be giving that information to people so that the information that is handed to them consciously is digestible enough small enough dose of it and then the rest of it is being filled in subconsciously and so you can absorb the feel of everything that's going on and you don't feel overwhelmed by it because you're picking up information without knowing that you're doing it so some great examples of this are in costuming and in camera angles that they're choosing so the show does this basically in every scene with every character but these are some great examples of it to illustrate my point three characters for three very key characters in particular Viserys, Reynira and Daemon Targaryen the fact that the very first time you see Reynira and Targaryen she is on dragonback and that she is clothed in a tire that would be more practical, utilitarian for if not fighting still doing something active and this is your first introduction to who she is and what her deal is so your very first impression of her is that and really the first time that you see Viserys, her father he is in a council chamber surrounded by other people and in this chamber he is not wearing armor and he's dressed like a king and before you ask me I know you do technically see him in this sort of prologue scene so we can disagree about whether that is the first time you're given an impression of him I would say a coronation scene tells you nothing about a character because no one is in their natural habitat in a scene like that so it doesn't count again so for me the first time you see him in his day to day life now that we're moving into the story is him in this council chamber where he's not dressed for war he's not dressed for any kind of action and he's not the way that the angles are framed in the shot and the way that he is surrounded by people he does not seem to it is not framed in a way where he seems to be in command or in control it doesn't seem he is not dominating the room in any way he seems to be one of a group he seems to be not at the mercy of anyone per se but he is he doesn't again it's how the angles are framed and what he's wearing he does not seem to be commanding that room then when every time we are shown almost invariably every time we are shown Daemon Targaryen he's wearing armor we also see him obviously do brutal things but throughout the first throughout the first episode of the show it's not only when he's with the city watch when he's doing violent things where it would make sense for him to wear armor in almost every other scene he is wearing armor and he looks like he's ready for action we also get lots of scenes where the way that Rhaenyra reacts to her father like just her facial expressions versus the way that she reacts to Daemon Targaryen her facial expression her bodily reactions to this the way those shots are framed the camera angles that are used tell you a lot about those characters' relationship even though they have very little dialogue they have very little that they say to each other there's you still have a very good impression of kind of what that dynamic is like and then a very key scene where camera angles again become important is when slight spoilers for towards the end of the episode when Viserys is confronting Daemon and he's had Daemon brought before him and Viserys is sitting in the iron throne and the camera angle does show, you know, look upward at Viserys, who is the king and should be the dominating presence that you are looking up at however the camera does not angle downward to look at Daemon it also is angled upward to look at Daemon so it the scene positions them almost equally in terms of where the camera is looking at them and the way that the camera shows Viserys on the throne, again it is often a wide angle shot and that wide angled shot makes him look like he is dominated by the throne rather than dominating the throne whereas below where Daemon is that is a closer angled upward shot where he does look to be commanding the space around him and he is once again wearing armor so this kind of visual storytelling the conversation that happens between them tells you a lot of information as well but the whole time the way that you are looking at those characters via the camera angle is giving you a sense of power dynamics without the show ever explicitly telling you these things speaking of dialogue dialogue is also done very very well and in general I would say in the Song of Mice and Fire books by Dora Dora Martin he's good at doing this and a lot of shows and a lot of books do this really badly and this is a really difficult thing to do so I mean I still complain about it but I acknowledge it is difficult to deliver world building information in a way that feels organic that does not feel like this was written for a scene that does not feel like this was written for you the audience to hear this information the way that a lot of especially fantasy but you know any book that has to give you a lot of like set up information about this world and traditions and cultures and peoples and history etc there will be a scene where like imagine like our world and people are celebrating Christmas and the readers listening to a story about our world don't know what Christmas is because we're a made up world and you suddenly have a conversation around Christmas time where someone says oh yes I must get that tree for that celebration that we have you know the one that was begun by the pagans but then was adopted by the Christians and for some reason we still you know like no one talks like this you'd be like why are you explaining to me the history of Christmas right now like this is super weird because it is super weird because everyone that that person would be talking to already knows this like why are you why are you saying this so in a lot of fantasy and speculative books and in TV shows characters will say wildly unnatural things like that because the audience needs to know this information but it feels jarring and out of place and that's what makes it feel oftentimes quite fake is that you're like why are they talking like this like why would they be explaining something to each other that they already know like it feels weird it feels awkward so there are much subtler ways of doing this and it's rare that a book or show can get away with absolutely never doing that although it's been done but there's a lot of times when you can have characters say things where they don't full on explain something but they do give you enough pieces enough context clues and then even if that one conversation didn't give you the whole picture still through as you go on what information you did glean from that conversation coupled with what you learn in another scene coupled with what you see in another scene coupled with your own ability to you know think logically you can piece together the situation without the the dialogue or narrator explicitly ever having to tell you something a lot of the political dynamics and the familial relationships and the the personalities of the characters and everything that's going on in Game of Thrones it did it very well but in House of the Dragon there's a lot of characters there's a lot of politics that we have skipped over and we're starting in the middle and it would be so easy to just have characters walk around and just like monologue and tell you the history of their world which would feel very strange but it doesn't do that it shows you dynamic conversations where you don't necessarily know what they're talking about these are new words to you these are new people to you but because of how the scene is framed it's clear who's in charge because of how they address one another it's clear that who is not in charge or what role they might play without anybody saying ah yes you who has this title and this role in my court you who tends to work on these things tell me of the newest thing you have to like no one would say this because we already know who they are if we are sitting in that room like that feels unnatural but the way they address one another and the kinds of things they ask them about you're like okay so this must be what they do because that's what they're being asked about the way that uh you can often employ uh taunting and and like bantering kind of dialogue to give a lot of information because it's in moments of like that where people will reference more personal details about each other that there wouldn't actually normally be a reason to bring up you know because these are things that we already know about each other um but if i'm wanting to taunt you if i'm wanting to call out something that you're embarrassed about i might bring up a detail about you that it doesn't i mean it doesn't otherwise make sense for me to mention it but it might be important for the viewer slash reader to know this so by having a character call it out as a taunt it feels normal in universe for that to be happening but also gives you information so damon targaryen is great for this because he does like taunt people and when he does that he calls out history about those characters or information about their situations that would be difficult to otherwise deliver to you the viewer or you the reader now the show does offer a lot of creative a lot of opportunities for creative liberty because the book itself is is written like a history book so it's not there aren't again these slow scenes unfolding so i'm pleased to see that they're sort of tanking that opportunity and running with it in a very good way because you know in a book like fire and blight you can say oh damon targaryen was made the head of the city watch and he did brutal things so obviously in a show you're going to be showing them do that you're going to be showing the minutiae of the reactions to him doing that you're going to see the scene in which this happens you're going to see the scene in which people react to it having happened so things like that's just one example but in a book like that where it's just basically a list of events a list of people a list of births a list of deaths a list of marriages a list of title changes and events that's kind of how the book goes i mean it has more color than that but you know what i mean where it's not a scene in the way that you would normally have in a novel and so you have the opportunity or the writers of the show have the opportunity to say okay we know this happened so we're going to have it happen but the book doesn't show you exactly how it happened it just says that it does happen and so we have the opportunity to now can invent a scene in which that is what has taken place what would they have said what would they how they would have reacted to this having happened so they get to flesh all that out a lot and it's really fun to see that if you have read the book because while they're being true to the events of the book for the most part they you're getting to see it come to life so it feels kind of like if you've studied history and then you see you know like a film that dramatizes that period of history where it sort of breathes more life into something that you did know happened but now you're going to get to see how really like minute to minute that happened so i am very very very impressed with this first episode i have high hopes for this is going to go it's there's a ton of rich material to adapt here with fire and blood there's again it's a dense book there's a lot that goes on and i i like to see that the show is trusting its audience it's trusting us to be able to piece this information together and but it's also not um making it inaccessible it's not trusting you so much it's it's just whipping you through this and not giving you the chance to follow it along i think it's it's really threading that needle quite well so far where it's a lot to to pick up it's a lot of information to be throwing at you but it's doing it in a way where it is possible to do it but it doesn't feel like it's being spoon fed to you which is perfect so so far chef's kiss i am loving it and i'm very very excited to see where the rest of the show is going well let me know your thoughts in the comments down below did you like the first episode of house of the dragon were you disappointed are you excited about where it's going have you read fire and blood or do you know nothing about the targaryen history whatever you want to let me know i post videos on saturdays other random times we'll have a dolphin saturday so like and subscribe to my patreon if you feel so inclined and i'll see you when i see you


alright hello guys I just wanted to talk about this little kit I bought it's another ebay jobby and the description name for this is the human sensor module pyroelectric infrared PIR DIY kit this is quite expensive actually this is a £3.88 for this and what it does is it will take a 4.5 to 5 volt input to work the circuit and when it senses it says human because it works off heat rather than just movement as a lot of the old systems were just just movement you know so if a tree was blowing a branch around a bit it would pick up and start the record or trigger an alarm where these ones are it works out of the heat so I figured it'd be quite good I'm gonna connect it on to another little circuit possibly to have a light downstairs from the how many got terrible things up so yeah so what we're gonna do now is we're gonna put it together and see if it works so if we look inside now I'm not I'm not a great review or anything like that I'm just an enthusiast in electronics found myself with a bit of time and what can I do if I can get my head into something and let's see what we can do with it let's make sure we got all there's quite a few pieces there back now this you're gonna be careful where put the fingers so I understand that these actual sensor modules I'm gonna look see if it's broken or not and it doesn't appear to be that's good I understand these little sensor modules are quite sensitive to oils but there it is that's that's the actual sensor and we don't want to touch it as we don't leave any grease or oils from my skin on it but everything else of course is it's perfectly fine so we got we got some little parts here for adjustments I'm not quite sure what the value of those are this is 105 105 it's one over five zeros that's that one meg possibly what we got here that's 8050 not quite sure what that is some sort of little transistor maybe a regulator I could look it up 16 volt 100 mic cap 25 volt 22 mic cap we got a BISS 00001 16 pin IC and the socket Sean Heder is the relay this is a 5 volt activated relay to switch 250 volts up to 3 amp oh I can actually switch that's AC 254 or 3 amp 30 volt DC oh so that's quite good then so that's a seal DC only 3 amp on DC so not a great thing there and just a little little correction of little ceramic capacitors and whatnot so I think I'm probably gonna go into full steam ahead to put this together I'm just wondering how well how this board goes I can't see anything obviously very obvious for how it goes but I can see quite quickly how this main main part is gonna go together and hopefully this is not gonna take too long of course that won't be the first thing I put on I'm gonna put all the little all the little tiny bits on first so we're not working on our own way and the actual last so so I'm gonna speed this up I'm gonna very very well laid out board I should expect to find one of these now that come through you don't really need any great you know because it says it says 1.8 K sorry 18 K 10 K 47 K 18 K 18 K so everything's on there let's know that you get up on to put on to you variable resistors one and two I should sort of I should probably carry on with the it says suit type PYM-1 not quite sure that means but the working voltage four to five four point five to five volts it's got a standby current of 65 microamps a working current of 40 milliamps the low power less than or equal to 300 watts it's blocking time is two and a half two and a half seconds to 300 seconds 300 seconds five trigger L not repeatable trigger H a repeatable triggered not quite sure what that means but sensing range cone angle is less than 120 degrees can be adjusted within five meters working temperature minus 15 C to plus 70 C and that's that's pretty much it just tells you the size of the board which is 27 by 27 millimeters even though that doesn't actually have a synthesized 27 by 27 millimeters blah blah and and this control PCB is 40 by 60 there's just one thing that's worth noting on this is that it's off you get the same none of the none of these none of these are marked so you're gonna need a meter or unless you can read the color codes to know what they are you will need a meter yeah so let's put it together okay it looks like these babies they go underneath here so this can be you know flitted to something well it's just let's just soldered this on first I'm gonna do that I'm thinking about using a new real assault only sometimes I'm gonna be supposed to or not doesn't feel like it wants to so it's just soldering the way it is stand this up to solder it oh it stands up like so problem is where I'm doing the soldering now is I've got two two sides I don't have to run this when you've got them bridged over like that uses ways that I found is literally just get the fattest bit is sold in line and just run it through pull it back and it collects on there and takes it away from there so apart from putting this little baby on and I'm not sure if there's a natural way to fit this I'm gonna go on what looks to be those two go together and that doesn't because on the back of here you got two little black dots I don't know if you can see those at all yep and then you got two sort of next to each other here and then the one coming off so I'm gonna assume that that's how that goes on I'm probably wrong to assume this if I were to do it the other way it wouldn't it doesn't seem like it so I'm gonna put them on like that I'm being very careful not to touch the front and I'm just gonna do a quick check I don't see the point of solving it because I can just quick check what I need to do that here I'm just trying to see actually no I can't actually see any type of instruction for doing that so well here the sensor then is like sideways on the front here but I'm not touching the front of it I'm not touching the lens part I'm just touching on the outside if I were to put it any other way it just wouldn't I put those like that that seems to be the only way it can go yeah it's got to be that way that seems to be the only way it can go the way those legs are set and it just stands the reason there's two up it's almost indicated that that's the way so I'm gonna take the chance on that as it just doesn't seem like it goes the other way just drop a blob of soldering that's nice and flat slightly off I'm trying to push it flat without getting any oils okay that looks like it's in flux we can just solder that now and there's bits in I wouldn't leave you soldering on too long on these pads on this especially if you've got it really hot there's some awful awful awful stuff coming off my solder I don't know if you can see that I think it's because when you get a new reel they they seem to put tape around it yeah which is a bit backwards really because that leaves bits of tape all over your solder and you end up you know melting the glue and such that's on the tape while you're doing your soldering which is something I will comment to the I can't tell what language that is but it's it's got more continents than it has vowel continents at constant constants I hope I've said that right now but it seems like a lot more of those they deserve also let's pull it off and hope that this game between these pins is not going to be conductive so we can use a little bit of alcohol on here and it doesn't cause any problems but the last thing we wanted to do is a conduction between nose nice clean up with some alcohol well we'll certainly help prevent that so okay we seem to have just a couple of bits on the lens I'm just brushing my fingers across the bristles of the brush the toothbrush and I'll just wipe those off without you know me I've probably damaged it man just mind not just wipe away the grind there put this on just we can get that front part being protected okay you'll be quite gentle you don't want to break you don't break that so so that looks like that's how it's supposed to be I've tinned a bit thicker these lines going here which go from the relay to the at the switchable output I just put these on and speed this process up so there we go that's that bill of course the proof is in the pudding does it actually work I'm sure the kit works I should say have I actually built it correctly so it will work now we need to apply five volts here and then put a load on here and then play around with this here so I'm quite disappointed with myself because I did have a load but then I give it its own plug so I need to find something else to put on this that doesn't draw more than 300 watts okay I can find something and I will I shall come back and we will see if that works okay I found something looks a little bit offish not just been cutting garlic and stuff see if you see things in my hand it's gonna making my food and one is that this actual this fitting socket you gotta put it in backwards for in order for this to fit into it this has to go in backwards which is in contrary to the image shown on the website when you buy this on the actual picture and there's another thing I know this as well it looks like there's a light dependent resistor is supposed to go in that those holes there this is not supplied is not in the image and it's not detailed in the description as for I've been part of this circuit but what I will do is I'm gonna get this running as it is and then I'm gonna put a light dependent resistor in there and see if we have any control over the light situation so whether it only operates at nighttime or it operates during the day but we're gonna figure that out we're gonna figure that out because as you can see the pads are there clearly for it I can't see anywhere else it goes to the chip via the resistors and yeah and also via this so I do have a feeling that if we put one in there we might get a little bit extra functional tell this baby but first of all let's just chuck some five some five volts onto it and see if we just get really triggering now I've taken apart my light which I did fit with a and so what we've got is this connection here and I'm gonna use these two wires in order to connect this thing into bomb and hopefully it will trigger the light that I have here now it's a bit we're a bit tight for the wire I've got to pull it through the back of my bench this was a lot better taped up believe me it was quite safe right so let's just check my bolts into that okay well that's a little lights come on and I did hear the relay click now whether the relays just clicked on because it doesn't know what else to do it's got a little screwdriver and play with these I turn that all the way down or at least it gives the impression of the old way down I want to hear the relay click I turn it back off again there we go so the relay clicks back off again a little light is not on and if I put my hand oh that was quite nice I didn't quite get near it and I was out you know quite a way out here really and so that is actually switching I've set it down to the minimal I'm gonna try and just come in across the top of it now you can see my finger so I'm on I'm over the top of it and that's that's picking up quite good I was picking up quite well and now we want it to switch this lamp on I'm just gonna turn that off just what I can it doesn't pull out there flip my lights on watch your eyes right so we've got a normally closed on and common so I would think then that we want I put something in there that will indicate to me when I've actually got a circuit across that and it won't bloody lifting up he says so if I put my continuity test I said somebody stopped me I'm doing this wrong but really that's not gonna be possible is it so if I just chuck that in there chuck that in there and all I want is a little bit of continuity if this circuit works as I think it should so I flip well we've not got any continuity so again continuity like that okay so I've got a lot of points hopefully that will go off as soon as I say it goes off yes so that's what we want to be then isn't it yep so we can shut that off now we know we want to plug our avayas into just gonna chuck a wiring there let me open this up first because all it is is technically it's just a switch isn't it just an electronic switch so which is fantastic because I will use this in here I will actually use it for this lamp I'll put it onto its its extended time five minutes or you know somewhere between four seconds or whatever it is in five minutes and see how I can live with this in here so when I do leave the room I know it's just a gimmick because really I've got a two and a half watt bulb in this and it's not really gonna make much of a difference to my build I just want to play around with it so that's on this is on and I'm just gonna switch off no no plug the plug-in and and switch the and switch that one well that lamp's on so that's gone off now I'm gonna plug the plug in ready for the big bang okay so that lights on that's the lamp shining now and now it's gone beautiful there's no smoke there's no sparks there's me moved that's what made that happen I quite like that so now because I need it about this far I suppose the distance is okay I mean that's it that's a small load it says up to 300 watts as I say I haven't actually got a we don't seem to be registering that easy from the front so now I must mind that this is live now 240 volts we're gonna switch that off there of course nothing's gonna happen but I am students you know that I've still got to right so we got min max on the time and we got min max I believe that would be sensitivity so that's too big to be turning that would be nice to have an insulated screwdriver I need to buy myself a little set of screwdrivers don't really have one of these so I'm gonna keep the time down just for a minute so we can adjust this so the min there I'm not sure whether that's for how sensitive this is gonna be I'm gonna switch it back on again so everything's gonna come on straight away that's it's not the greatest of lights I understand okay so the sensitivity now this thing is so low that we're not actually getting anything out of it I think that's possible okay we do but it seems to be sensitive to what's going above it or even though that's not really doing a great deal is it okay so if I turn that back down to max sensitivity I believe this is but yeah so if you've got this far guys thank you very much for watching and this seems to be another another winner our feet mate

You're going to see the pages that we click through to so you can see the sales pages All this stuff is going to be available to you today So I would suggest you sit back you take notes If you jot down what I'm doing in this funnel and you apply it to any list you have any product you have You will make money. Okay, that's I mean It's just I don't know how you couldn't make money unless you send it to people that don't open your emails If you have a list of people that will open your emails This will make you money. You need to do these things guys. You will make money I've been doing this for many many years now And I'm sharing this with you so that you could get the same results that we get I'm checking my phone off to the side here and I'm checking your comments now I have a comment section right here so I can converse with you back and forth So any questions you have as I get into this funnel, please put them in that comment section This stuff's going to make you money today Write it down write it down write it down I can't emphasize this enough because when you go back and you use the software that I'm gonna tell you about And I'll tell you about that at the end that I built all of this in but it is extremely cheap But I'm gonna show you how you can get the software from $1 a dollar. Okay, just $1 the stuff I'm gonna show you who's gonna cost you a dollar. So if you've got a dollar to invest The software is gonna be amazing if you don't have a dollar don't watch this video Okay, because this is not meant for you if you don't have a dollar scraped together yet This is not meant for you.

Okay So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to share my screen So I'm gonna share a screen right here And I think I'm gonna share a Chrome tab and I want to share Where is that one I want to share with you this cart for one right here That's the one I want to share with you So you should be seeing this tab now and I'm gonna go into this funnel here There's other ones that are hooked into this, but this is the one I want to share with you So let's go ahead and go into this one here. I'm gonna click edit and that's the cool thing about the software guys You could just go in here and change things on the fly And I'll tell you what the software is at the end. So don't worry about that so much right now But I just want to show you What it looks like so you can see it too, okay So this is the actual funnel here and I want to make sure you guys are seeing it and do me a favor Type in that chat box there If you can see this if you could hear me I just want to make sure everybody is seeing this and hearing this properly I don't want to show you something and you know, you're not hearing it or seeing it So just type in there. Yes, I can hear you and also put it there where you're from introduce yourself I've gotten to know a lot of people on these live streams and help them out And I can probably help you out with what you're doing and marketing online. This is free.  Just say hello. That would be cool, too So let me get over here to Cartra And I'm on Cartra now now this particular funnel here when you look at it I'm gonna just scroll you can see it looks kind of complicated and it's all this is blocked over here This little red tab if you click on it will make all that go away Okay, so this is the start of the funnel right here now What I want to do is I want to go into edit and I want to show you what makes this start So this lead has any tag from SCF SCF is survival cave food. So anytime somebody Actually Does anything at survival cave food they download something they opt in they buy a case of meat Whatever they're gonna get tagged with a tag from survival cave food. So that's what makes this funnel start So if I were to leave this funnel like this anytime somebody, you know does something survival cave food They're gonna get assigned to this funnel and they're gonna start going through it now The people that already have a tag from survival cave food will not start in this funnel They won't start in this funnel because it has to be when the tags assigned So if I wanted somebody who already had a survival cave food tag I would need to search all those people and assign them to this particular sequence. So that's the start of it right there Okay, so this is your first thing when you get into the sequence builder You're gonna have this right here now The next thing I want to do is I want to organize Out of all those people at survival cave food Do I want every single person to get it the answer is no I don't want every single person to get it if you want every single person to get it on your list Then go ahead and do that now if you notice here I've got this split you see the split right here and I pulled it over from the side And you get your split over here where split it right here You just grab it and drag it over and that's what I've done and this splits gonna ask a question Let me look at that question real quick that split is gonna ask a question. Here's the split question Right after the previous step, okay So as soon as they get assigned and then I've got a time in here because I like it to start at 10 a.m I want a condition in here. The condition is does not have tag SCF retailer. Now. Why do I want that? I want that because those are all the people that are Retailers of my product in other words they sell that particular product So I wouldn't want to send them an email because they're already selling my product So let me close that so it's gonna ask that question does not have tag Okay, if it's true, they don't have that tag then it's gonna move forward However, if it's false and they do have that tag It's gonna say false over here and as you see that one line is gonna go all the way down This is a long funnel guys to right here where it's gonna go ahead and take them out of that funnel so basically in the beginning if They have that tag of a retailer. It's gonna pull them out and they won't see all this stuff Okay, which is what I want to do now if it's true that they don't have that tag Then I can go ahead and start my sequence. Okay, so what's gonna happen is I'm gonna send them this email And it's gonna immediately go out to them So let me click edit right now so you guys can see what this email is And this is the email right after previous step It doesn't matter the time of day because I already determined the time of day Based on that split. Okay. This is the first email 28 ounce shortage sale Now this this is a meat shortage. Okay, because we're running into that and I'm letting people know about it because of the second wave of this world illness and I want them to be able to Get some product right before it's all gone or it gets super expensive So I'm gonna send them this email now. There's two emails here, but I've already done the split test And I know this one's better this one here that says a hundred percent So we're gonna go ahead and click edit and then we're gonna go over to that email and see what they're gonna get sent Okay, so this is the email that they get a hundred percent of right here This is the one down here. It's that second email. See this is a hundred percent of users So this is the email itself that goes out and I'm gonna tell you about the software for this guys It's amazing. It is amazing software that you can use for this now notice here It says first name. Let me kind of up says it first name Could our food supply run out? So the subject line is a question. It's not something like hey meat is on sale today Okay, that's that's not going to get anybody's attention. We don't want that we want something that's going to get their attention So I'm gonna put the first name there and the software I use you can grab this thing here It's this first name and plug it in there and when their first name is in your system It's automatically going to put their name there So Tom or Jenny or Bob or whoever it is it's going to ask them a question now If I don't have their first name in my system, nothing will be there It'll just say could our food supply run out if for some reason I don't have their first name That's almost impossible because to opt in I have to have your first name So what's going to happen is that's going to appear here and if they have a preview winner in their email It's going to say this is the one email that could save your life and then I say no serious Okay, so then here's the email. It's going to go out It says hey my losses are gained I made this video to explain why our food supply is in danger click here to get all the details This has never happened before so I made this video to explain why you can save so much for a short period This explainer video will only be available for a limited time, but you can watch it here now Now if you notice, I've got a link here. I've got a link here I've got a link here, and I've got a link here So there's several links to this particular video. It says cheers J. R Remember good things come to those who take advantage of opportunities and your chance to get in on this is limited click here to Get the scoop so I'm going to go ahead and click on it just so I can get that link right here And then I want to take you guys to this link right here And I'm going to copy it, but I think what I'm going to have to do I'm going to what I'm going to have to do is change my screen share real quick Because I'm just sharing this one tab, and I want to share my entire screen So let me get back over here, and I'm going to stop the screen share for just one second And then I'm going to go back to share and I'm going to share the screen Okay, so there we go, and I want to share entire screen Okay, and then I'm a quick share so you guys should be seeing something like this Okay, so I'm going to go back over here, and I'm going to paste that link that is in my email Right there. Okay, and then I'm going to go to it. So when they click inside this email This is the page they're going to come to And it says protect your family from boot shortages today regular price 299 a case America support sale 179 save up to 40% 10 case limit limited inventory now I'm going to move my mouse in just a second and When somebody lands on this page, let's say they were scrolling on it. Okay, and they were just reading it Nothing's gonna happen. Okay, it's gonna say check beef check chicken check turkey, and they can click on any one of these And I'm not gonna do it yet, but I will in just a second and it says by one case by five cases by ten cases So I've given them three opportunities here guys if people aren't buying enough from you is because you aren't offering enough People on their own won't go from one item to five items unless you offer it to them So make it easy for them say hey if you buy one you get this price you buy five you get this price if you buy ten You get this price and I show them the savings. I have the same buttons down there Now watch my mouse as I go off the page. Look at this this pop-up pops up It says order in the next 10 minutes Okay I've set up urgency and use the code shortage and get an additional 10% off for a total savings of 50% When you're doing a sale guys you want to have a large percent of Discount don't do a sale when you get 3% off or 5% off or even 10 Okay, because it's not big enough to motivate people and you may say well JR I don't have enough margin in my product to offer 30% or 40 or 50% if you do you just up your price I mean really it's that simple up your price and then discount it I mean, you know car dealers and and you know clothing stores and jewelry has been doing this forever They just put a price that they really never sell it for now I do really sell it for this price, but I'm just saying all you gotta do is up your price So let's get rid of this window here. We've given them a discount code. Let me show you how some of this works Now if they were to click on any one of these Then they can see the sales page Let me click on chicken real quick and then I'm gonna come back And I'm gonna show you a couple other things this pages does and I also want to play that video for you, too So what it's gonna do is gonna say here is 199 Now why is it 199 when I said it was 179 because that's for a single case If they buy five cases it goes to 189. Okay, there it is right there But if they buy 10 cases they can get it for 179 just like what I said, I'm given free shipping here This is a very simple checkout that is in the special software I'm using which I will tell you about at the very end and you'll be able to get this software for only one dollar So there it is right there. There's their checkouts a simple checkout and then I have some, you know GDPR type stuff in here You know so they can stay on my list and continue Now there's also an upsell. I'm not gonna go into the upsell right now I just want to show you this final words But I want to go back one because I want to show you what happens when we sell out Now ground beef. I know we just sold out of so when they click on that look at this It says sorry this product is sold out. There are worldwide shortages of many food products at this time We only use USDA inspected meats that are raised in America. Please close this window and make another selection So, you know, I'm putting this product out there I know it just sold out, but it lets them know this stuff does sell out and as the other ones sell out This pop-up will be attached to whatever link it is now all these buttons here just have a link in them That's all it is. So they actually just link to another page or they link to a pop-up. That's it Here's let's say the pork one right here and you can see that one and how that works and it's gonna be the same setup It's gonna have one case. It's gonna have five cases. It's gonna have 10 cases Now let me go back and I want to show you the video that I've actually used on this page here So let me go ahead and play this and I want to make sure my volume is up here. So let me make sure that's up Okay, so the volume is up and I'm gonna play the video for you so you can hear what I'm saying Will the food supply run out? I get asked this question every single day Look, I've been selling survival food online for the past 12 years And we are one of the largest manufacturers of survival food in America I can tell you that I have never seen such a demand for survival food as I have right now I want to share with you that we are seeing shortages once again Just like when COVID first hit this time It could be even worse since we are experiencing a shortage of workers and also shortages of things like cans that we use labels and of course proteins like beef chicken turkey and pork Like you probably already know when you throw that in Prices have skyrocketed on just about every single thing from gasoline to homes And of course it would be naive not to realize that food would be the biggest scarcity Since it's something everyone needs to have one hand. I'm doing some special pricing on our canned meats And I want to pass that on to you You will see below that I'm even going to throw in free shipping and my now famous book The Great American Food Shortage which can help you plan and explain What's going on and how you can better protect your family than yourself? I would advise you to buy now because I cannot promise what we will have left in the coming days and weeks And one thing is for sure if you lose your job and you lose your income Where your income goes down the one thing you want to have on hand is a food supply to keep you alive Hey, you can't eat cash. You can't eat gold or ammunition. You got to have food check What we have remaining by clicking the button below each knee which says check availability You'll have to check each button to see if there's a supply and make sure you grab it if we have anything left Thanks so much for your business in the past. Stay safe and I'll talk to you Okay, so that's the video that they see and there's a little warning here Please be aware supplies and availability changes daily current shipping times are at four to six weeks and increasing Now as we look at this page here first off, this is a video Some people won't watch a video because they think it's too long. So what did I do right here? I said it's a two-minute video that explains food shortage. Okay, so I tell about friend It's only two minutes. I mean you got time for two minutes. Okay, and then right here I say something else save hundreds with free shipping on all orders And then the other worry is, you know, where's it made? So I say a hundred percent made source and manufactured in America So there's so many selling points on this page here guys. It's really going to help you out And then I talk about the meat right here. Let me kind of upsize that I say it's low pressure cook It's all usda inspected no fillers or additives. It's humanely processed. It's low sodium So all the things that they may have a concern over I go ahead and talk about and say, hey, you don't have to have a concern over this Now I want to get back to that funnel. So let me go back here That wouldn't be the place to do it. Would it right here? There's the phone. Okay. So this is the funnel This is the email we just looked at you went to the sales page. You saw how it worked So I'm going to go ahead and close out of this This is email number one Okay, so I sent out this email now after email number one happens There's another box right here and it says one day later one day later something happens There's a split. Okay. Now. I want to edit the split and let's see what the split is Um, the split is this Okay, I say Now I've already taken out my retailers remember that in the beginning So I don't have to worry about that anymore. Now. The only thing I have to worry about is I don't want to send this Email out to somebody who already bought Okay, so if they already bought I'm not going to send the next email to them I'll take them out of the sequence because they bought there's no point in bombarding people with emails This is something else this software will do which is amazing guys So when they buy the beef, they're going to be tagged with 28 ounce beef shortage buyer or 28 ounce chicken shortage buyer Or 28 ounce pork or 20 ounce turkey. So if they have one of these tags, okay I want to send out this email to them Um, the next day, which is 10 a.m. Unless they don't Unless they have one of these tags so it does not have any one of these tags And this is all or okay not and so we want to say or If they don't have this tag if they don't have this tag but on this tag Heck go ahead and send them an email because they didn't buy If they do have those tags and let me go back over here If they do have those tags, that's false. This is no no they have one of those tags It's going to take them. Look look at this out of that sequence. It's going to remove them Okay, now this is an ongoing process on a daily basis So it's going to send them this email here It's going to uh, you know apply this split right here and then day two email comes along So let's go in here and let's edit that real quick and take a look at it So this is the third email actually I skipped over one of them, but that's okay You're getting the point here. All right after the previous step This is the third email right here, uh, and I'm going to go ahead Let's go ahead and look at that email real quick and click here to edit it It says video is this the definition of insanity? What does that mean? Okay, so, you know your subject line guys It shouldn't be like 20 off min shirts today if you do something like that people are going to be like I don't need a shirt today. I needed pants. Okay, so they're not going to click on your emails They're not going to open it. Uh, don't put an email that tells them what's in the email The idea of a subject line is to get them to open the email. Okay, please understand that Um, so when they open this email here, this is here. I have literally never seen demand Jump like this, but this video explains it all what video now. I've got that that interest build up They're like, well, I want to know what the video is. What's the video? So as they go into here, it says are you telling me this could be even worse now? What? Okay This is the real story of our food supply. Um, you can see a video of my explanation Explanation there we go by clicking here. Okay. Now this is going to take them. Let me finish reading this They will just they just kept stocking up and I think this video was the cause of it all If you want to get what so many before you got then you need to hurry and click here to see what all the commotion is about The video explains how important my customers are to me and it's time to pay you guys back safe Stay safe jr ps. I know you don't want to miss out on something that has never occurred before click here to see how you can take advantage of my situation My situation is i'm running out of meat. Okay So they're going to click and they're going to go to that same sales page again This is repeated over a series of days. Now. I want to show you what I did here This is all right. So we said one one email here second email here third email here fourth email here Now on the fourth day the sale ends So what I do is I send a series of emails. Okay. Oh, excuse me the fifth day it ends I send a series of emails I'm letting them know it's ending So this is the last day here and in this email. I say it's the last day I do my split to take out the buyers Uh, and then I send them another email. I'm like a man. You only got x number hours left six hours or whatever I put in there I can't remember and then I see if they bought if they didn't buy us send them another email I'm like, hey, you're down to six hours. You know, you need to buy it and then I send them another email I'm like, ah, you're down to like an hour or two hours Uh, and so that's what happens is last day here They get three emails and it keeps reminding it keeps sending them back to that same page And it keeps checking to see if they already bought let me get back over to my stream yard screen right here Uh and making sure that this makes sense to you. Does this is this making sense to you guys? Let's see here.  I wonder why that is Wayne charles I can see a way in charles. Okay. Let me start talking to you guys a little bit Weird that you got blocked on facebook Uh, that's really strange here.  So I want to make sure that's working here. I'm gonna click on it All right, there's the link to it Uh, let's see here customize your dashboard. Okay, got it And I want to make sure you guys can see this stuff Uh, it looks like it's working for me paul I don't know let me wave here and see see if it's real time, but it looks like it's working Yeah, I don't know why it wouldn't be working on yours paul. That's really strange Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's working because I I'm just waving to myself here I just saw it on the screen. So it must be it's gotta be something in your settings or something. So you may want to check that Okay, so This is a multi step process now. There's more to this funnel And I think I showed you in the beginning I think as of this morning there's about 15,000 people going through this funnel So I know based on my numbers it's going to generate say a million bucks. I know that Based on, you know, what my buy rate is based on, you know, what uh, my audience is like Now some of you may be saying, well jay, I don't have 15,000 people I don't have 100,000. I have obviously more 15,000 people, but that's what's in it going through today And we we stagger it, you know based on, you know, the list and all that good stuff But guys this stuff works I mean, it's like I remember when I first got into selling online and I was like, I wonder if you could really make money online I mean, I know big companies like select blinds or, you know, Home Depot or, you know I think other stores that sell on, you know, big companies, you know, Lowe's or something like that They can sell online, but you know, can you really just market online? Can you do that? Let's say I have no idea why I'm being blocked personally. Oh Hate Facebook, by the way, love the new background. Thank you so much. I'm trying to decorate this place And I don't you know, I ought to take the camera here and kind of show you guys around It it really is it always looks calmer and nicer from you guys view But if you see my view, it doesn't look like this. So let me just kind of show you around. I'm going to take the Camera, okay, so I've got the camera here as you can see me I'm looking at the camera and what I want to do is kind of show you what it really looks like in this room As you can see, there's all these lights There's a view up my backyard right there. You can see that I just platform. I had the computer on but it was too high So I got rid of that. You can see the rest of the lights here The room is huge and I couldn't really use all of the room There's a lot of white wall there and everything But you know, this is what I'm seeing when I look. I'm seeing this and I see the screen through there. There's you guys That's what I actually see. I don't have my sound Curtains really up there over there. I got like three of them over there. I don't really have those up You guys let me know let me put this back on here You guys let me know how the sound is it may still be a little bit echoey Uh, let me scoot this back a touch But it's like my clock here is not centered It should be way higher but the ceilings in this room are so big that uh, I had to do that So I could get all this in the shot Also, also also Let me know what you thought of this training. Is this helpful to you? I mean you feel like this is something That's going to help you out Let's see. Love the email strategy. Thank you so much paul. Yeah, it works amazing I mean it really does and you know, I want to go back to it in just a second And show you something else in cartridge that I didn't show you That I think would be really helpful too because What I have Is people who went there and landed on the page And they didn't buy anything. Uh, let's see audio is decent. Yeah, you're not telling me it's good You're saying it's decent Lisa what's going on? Yes, very helpful. I'm so glad And guys, it's like I I feel like I have to share this with you because it's like I go into a starbucks Or I go into some coffee shop and sometimes I'll sit down to work And I see these people rushing in and they're getting their coffee and they're rushing out They're getting in their car and they're all dressed up for work and I know they're miserable I know they're miserable. I know they are and I'm like god Sometimes I just want to pull somebody out a lot. I'm like, you don't have to do this You don't have to go to the job anymore. You don't Do do what I'm doing.  Send me messages. A lot of you guys will send me a message Um, and you know, you'll ask for help and I help you But most of you don't you never ask me any questions Do it. I mean why why keep getting in the car and commuting to that job I don't understand why you want to do that. I really don't I think it's insanity Is there a price point where you decide to do A more extensive email versus a shorter sequence for cheaper products Here's that's a great point. That is a great point. Now. This is the crazy thing You end up doing shorter emails for more expensive products and longer emails for free products And as the product gets more expensive, you can put less work into the email now. Here's why Here's why and once I tell you you're going to go. Oh, yeah, that makes sense Here's why if you're giving somebody something for free, you're just giving it to them Okay, let's say it's a pd at download or ebook or whatever What do they think about the product? They think it's worthless. They think it's not worth anything So if you're selling something for five dollars or ten dollars, they're going to be like it can't be worth anything It's five bucks. So you really have to sell it more than you would have to sell something that's five hundred dollars If you notice that sales page I have is not very long. There's not much to it. There's a two minute video And I've got a list of some of the, you know Things about the product now our products have been around for over a decade now. So You know, it's pretty well known But the point is it's less work to sell a more expensive product And I think a lot of newbies will go out there and they put hardly any copy on a page And they try to sell a ten dollar item and it doesn't sell and they fail and they don't make any money And they're like this doesn't work It doesn't work because I have you going about it if you've got a super cheap product once again Super cheap product requires more salesmanship than a really expensive product. It's backwards It's really really backwards now after they go to this particular sales page and they buy something There is an upsell. I think we have a guide on there. It's nine dollars And it's a guide to surviving in the wilderness Which is a really good guide. I mean it's really a nice one It's nine dollars And I put that in there because it's a digital product and since it's a digital product It cost me nothing to send this pdf out and I grab another nine dollars and you're like nine dollars isn't much money jair It is when a thousand people do it or ten thousand or a hundred thousand Huh nine dollars is real nice, especially when I don't even have to send them anything It's just a pdf when they buy that product my system here that I use which I'll tell you about in a second Will automatically send that out to them automatically And I got to tell you it's so cool because when I first started doing this I didn't know what to say any email. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't type. I still can't type And now I know I could build a funnel in the software that I use and I can make a million bucks What What how is that? It's because I just learned this stuff and guys you can learn the same things Let me look at some of the other things I have in here Uh, let's see here Uh, love the email strategy Wayne What is going on Wayne? I haven't seen you in a while, but is this time better for you? Do you like this time better and guys right now while we have a little bit of time? I'm going to be filming videos today. I'm I'm a little bit over but at 10 o'clock. I need to start filming videos But put any questions you have in there. I want to answer them for you. I want to help you out I want you to make money. I want you to do that right there Okay, I want you to do that but to do that you got to know what to do A lot of people say well, yeah, I would work hard if I knew what to do jr Well, now's your chance now's your chance to ask me. I got new comments down here How has the business transition transition? been now that you're in texas on the cheap PDF You got them to open their wallet. Yes, but now keep in mind I didn't do the cheap PDF first if you're thinking like a lead magnet something like that Or a trip wire excuse me lead magnets free a trip wire you actually pay for And let me let me explain that to you guys It's good that you brought that up a cheap item Or a free item a free item is when somebody opts in okay That's called a lead magnet and what you're doing is essentially just getting a lead A trip wire is where you get them to open their wallet for a cheap item One dollar five dollar nine dollars, okay I use this as a bump my Survival guide and I don't I can't pull up that page because I actually have to go through the funnel Or I have to find that page for you guys But on the sales area you can click a box at the bottom at the bottom of the the meat purchase And when you click that box It will in effect offer them this Survival guide and let me go back Let me go back here. I'm going to share my screen again I'm going to go back and show you something else inside the funnel before I get out of here And I know I'm staying too long because I've got to get other stuff done But I really man. I love sharing this with you guys Let me go here. I must have done an exit There's a couple other things Right here. I've got these other things here now. They're just starting to go through so you can see There's 15,000 in this one right now Visit sales page of scf 2021 shortage. Okay, so if they visited the the sales page I have another sequence that's going to go out to them If they didn't buy the bump From the the shortage in other words, there's a bump at the bottom They didn't buy that there's another shorted or excuse me email thing that goes out to them All right, so and then I have an upsell on there where I try to sell them 14 outs meet after the 28 ounce So there's another sequence that goes out to them So as you can see if they didn't buy these certain things I have these email sequences Oh, look at this one here. Let's look at this one here real quick So I'm going to edit that one This is pretty amazing. So if they went to that sales page I can tag them because I know they went to that sales page, but if they didn't buy anything Look at this check this out. There's going to be another sequence that's going to go out to them And it's going to go. Hey, man. You didn't buy. I saw you went to my page, but you didn't buy So here's all the emails a bunch of emails that go out to them. Let's look at one of them here There we go Okay If it doesn't have any of these tags, this email is going to go out to them And what's it going to say? Let's check it out. I noticed about an hour ago Or let me look at this. Let me look at this. Hey first name. Did you see the video? So I'm going to say hey these people I know went to the page, but I don't know if they watched the video or not This happened about an hour ago one hour. I can do this in the software one hour after they visit the page This email is going to go out to them. Let's go say I noticed about an hour ago You checked out my video one can meet but for some reason you didn't move forward with your order Why click here to complete your order so they can click here that can actually go to it If it was a glitch on our end, I want to apologize and reassure you that you can still grab this great deal Thanks again for your business. Stay safe click here to complete your order Now think about this guys out of all the people that go to your sales pages And I'm going to go ahead and stop sharing this screen here because there's a bunch more of these emails But I would be here like two hours to show you emails And I don't want to do that But there's a bunch more of these emails that go out and think about this when people go to your sales page Let me get back to stream yard so you can see me Yeah, I'm gonna stop sharing So when people go to your sales page, there's a number of reasons why they don't buy Most newbies assumed they didn't buy because they didn't want it. It's not true They went there and clicked on it because they had an interest But what if while they were there one of their kids fell down and got hurt What if while they were there their phone went off and answered their phone? What if they got a notification from facebook? What if somebody knocked on the door? There's all kinds of reasons why they didn't buy and if you just remind them that they didn't buy Send them an email says hey, you didn't buy you'd be amazed how many people go ahead and start buying your products It's those little tiny things where you're mopping up. You're mopping up all those little crumbs Where people are out there and they're interested, but you didn't go any further Let me check out some of these comments See here. Can you do a video on doing? Oh wait, I got new comments Let's see here. Let me scroll. Okay Uh, do you have an empty cart sequence where they started but abandoned the cart? Yes, I have that too So there's there's You could overdo the sequence thing, but uh, I have I have a lot of sequences in there Can you do a video on doing how you did your book? Uh, who did the cover art and did you outsource the editing? Uh, who do you use for actual? POD product print on demand products Actually, that book is printed by amazon And I forgot what they call it now But I have two ways of doing it at amazon The first way is I say hey, I want you to print 100 books and send them to me That's generally what we do because I don't try to sell that book a lot on amazon The book I was holding up in that video and if you didn't see that guys go back to the beginning for this And I played the video and I hold up my book The other way is if somebody does buy from the amazon amazon will actually be shipping out to them So the book is on amazon they can buy it there or I can buy, you know 100 200 books and have them here It saves me a lot of money if I buy them up front But of course we got to put them into envelopes and send them out Which I don't mind doing a few hundred of those now everybody who is buying on this funnel that i'm sending out right now It gets free book And that book cost me I think to send out I want to say five dollars and some change something like that But and you say well jr, you know, you don't want to give up five dollars It's not that it's it's you know, a book is like a business card in a way and what I mean by that is A book they're not going to throw away if you give somebody a business card They're going to throw it away if you give them a book I don't know if they'll read it if they won't read it But he usually will stick around the house or they'll pass it on to somebody else So it really is an advertising thing Plus it is very helpful if they read that book It's going to help them out and get them prepared and they'll be in better shape Which is what I wanted to do So that's my training for today. I hope you enjoyed it. I'm going to do more lives And with my mood there's no excuse no excuse, but with my moves I have been a little short on time, but I've also been a little lazy and I have to be honest with myself on that one Because then I got to be here at nine o'clock in the morning, but I do want to be here And I do want to help you guys out Put in that comment section.
