Hello people of the internet! I’m Ross and I’m here to talk about Deal of the Week I guess! Don’t panic, I’ll probably bore you all to death by the end of this. But let’s not beat around the bush - I’ve been up since 3:30am, sorry in advance - and let’s get stuck in.
Not even going to say it.
Deal of the Week is Back Again
We’re back once again with Deal of the Week, and after the MASSIVE flop that was last week’s deal we’ve come back with the classic Burner + Teddy Pot deal for £4.99.
Last weeks deal is now just in the Valentine’s section with their own listings. Feel free to ignore them. Or if you want sexy rose flower soap then by all means grab some.
I’m guessing people would prefer this over rose flower soaps then?
We’ve actually kinda got two deal of the weeks this week as I really didn’t want to risk putting up another niche one that barely anyone wanted. So we have the burner one AND one for the single ladies out there.
Do you want a magical vibrating wand and a couple of “single life” themed Teddy Clamshells to go with it? Well you can have this…
Essentially the two Teddy Clamshells are free really.
We’ve got “Still Single As Fuck” - sorry about that - which smells like fresh roses… you know, cause no one else is going to buy you them.
And then “Fine. I’ll Do it Myself” because, well, I don’t want to go into details like, but you’ll have to “do it” yourself I guess.
Oh, that one smells of Butt Naked. Which makes sense as you’re likely to be butt naked whilst using that toy.
Shall we move on?
The Podcast is now on YouTube
Warning: Boring shite alert.
We’re gradually getting there with the podcast. To me, it’s all about making small gradual improvements each week. It’s that old “get 1% better” thing, right? For a lot of it, it’s just a simple case of getting the reps in. We’re still playing with the setup - like having Rachel sat with a big ass patio door behind her was a dull idea for lighting - but ultimately you can do all the editing, thumbnails, and lighting, but if the actual content is shit then you’re fucked anyway.
Hopefully we’ll get a little better across the board. And hopefully we’ll continue to enjoy doing it, as that’s also important.
So yeah, we really appreciate everyone who has watched it so far. I know it’s off to a pretty slow start. As of this writing the first 3 episodes look like this:
Episode 1 - 193 plays
Episode 2 - 94 plays
Episode 3 - 59 plays
Things will always drop a little as the older episodes are on there for longer. But this is why we REALLY need to sort the video element out as soon as possible. Not only is that the best way for people to get a glimpse of it, but it’ll also be a higher motivator to keep going as the videos will inevitably do better than the podcast itself.
Also, to make the post-process a little smoother, I’m basically going to have to do a better job of time stamping stuff. I already have a notepad in front of me when we’re doing it, but I kinda need to clock the time when the subject changes to be able to quickly grab that content at a later date for TikTok videos.
Out of this week’s podcast I think I’ve now got 7 videos to be able to post. Which isn’t bad! Whether anyone gives a shit about them is another story. But going back to that whole “self doubt” thing from a previous email, there’s a voice in my head going “don’t post them, they’re shit, no one cares.” And then there’s me telling that voice “Hahahaha fuck you I’m gonna post them purely to piss you off.”
I understand almost all of what I’ve just said probably falls under “too much information” category. But you all know I like talking shite, right?
So yeah…
That’ll probably do for today as there’s a strong chance that I’m going to be knackered today. I’ve done 2/3 hours of video editing to start the day. So I’m actually glad the kids woke me up and I went “fuck it I may as well go downstairs.”
If I went back to sleep - good luck as that bed was full - then none of these videos would’ve gotten done and I would struggle to find the time in the day to do them.
I hope you’re all having a good day and all that sexy stuff. Thank you once again for reading this, you’re a real trooper in all of this. And thank you for the support in whatever way that is. If you’re sat there going “yeah I don’t like wax melts” then you can probably show support via subscribing on YouTube and watching every single video on repeat.
Thank you!
Much love,
Ross & Rachel x
Have to admit I haven’t watched the podcast on YouTube...I listen to it on audible...is it better as a video?
