This is a wonderful addition to Ocean Melody and it will help enormously as you move around. Ignore the people who are complaining. Having sponsors is important to achieve your dreams. Keep well and safe. James.
I think you did a good job trying to squeeze some beautiful views from the drone in the ad. I thought it was a brillant idea. It was funny and entertaining to see the family going on a picnic with a fridge and an air-fryer. These things are amazing.
This bluetti equipment will certainly come in handy, we lived in a caravan for years and found refrigeration storage can never be big enough especially for four , you might want to consider an additional fridge/ freezer for slow moving days.AND once again ignore the unbelievable negative Nancy’s,, good luck.
Dear Melissa, Andy, Oliver and captain Jack, With us in the Netherlands we always say: “keep your head cool” so it looks that with your ew fridge such must be a piece of cake 😀. Willeke and I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
That's an interesting system. I hope it's going to be reliable on a long term. You may also consider fixing your old fridge which is based on a very old but reliable technology. Just in case 😉
There isn’t no. We don’t make any commission from rhe sales but we’re totally happy promoting this product because it’s genuinely is relevant to what we are doing and great quality.
We don’t get paid in money. We pay for the system by advertising it rather than buying it with cash. So it works well. We purchased this system for use on the boat and rather than pay for it with money we just paid in advertising.
Hey guys just a quick note, sometimes your audio only comes out of the left speaker. See from around 1 min in when Melissa is talking, there is no sound on right channel. I normally only listen with 1 headphone in so i can hear others around me and then i just cant hear you talking. I used to think you had audio issues on a lot of your videos but now i know its a stereo issue so i have to make sure i have both headphones in. Happens on a lot on your videos and just wanted to mention in case others have issues and tune out thinking its broken audio and end up missing out on this wonderful channel. I know lots of people who listen with only one headphone in or with one ear out of the over head headphones.
So much jealousy....Same people who are "supporting" are now getting annoyed because it's not them having their hands on the best gear! Always the same, people will support you, but dont want you to do better than them... You're working extremely hard guys, keep it up! If you dont like what you are seeing, dont watch SIMPLE!
@@SailingMelody You are beginning to sound arrogant. Think about your customers and why they enjoy what you do! And try and engage with them in a way that demonstrates you understand that. We understand the commercial realities of what you do which is why we put up with the odd 30' ad or two. Most people don't want it rammed down their throats - this is basic social media etiquette. And most of us don't do 'appointment viewing' we just say ' oh another SM episode, I'll watch that/ save it to view later.
Very interesting blog, I'm a motorhomer and found this episode very useful because of the fridge and powerbank,take no notice of the negative comments because some people are professional moaners and aren't happy unless moaning, cheers for now..
@@SailingMelody Not for me to tell you how to run your business. Some advice from a consumers goods marketing director with some of the world's biggest household name brands on how tenuous customer relationships and loyalty can be. Other RUclipsrs poll their viewers to get feedback on what they are considering doing next.......for example.
It is an extra vlog. This is how they make money and get what they require to do their traveling. If you get something free, you repay the sponsor in doing a blog. Next time, just skip the vlog and move on.
This isn’t our normal episode It’s an advert and promotion for Bluetti. We PAID for this equipment but we pay in promotion rather than money. What’s your problems with that? We could just stop making RUclips videos, do online data entry work and buy the Bluetti with money but our business is making RUclips videos. I don’t see the problem. It’s not one of our normal episodes, it’s released on a Sunday afternoon and is clearly and obviously a promotional video. I don’t see how people imagine RUclipsrs live? On fresh air? We make a living from RUclips…… not a big one but just enough to survive. We get approached by all sorts of people wanting us to promote them and we turn down 99% because they’re not products we can get behind but once in a while we get asked to review and promote a product which is really relevant and something we will actually use. Why is that a problem?
Yeah me too,some Y-Tubers include a small portion to promote,but to watch a full episode and not including anything else,is a bit of a stretch to say there was anything to do with channel Content.Nothing to say it was an advertisment leading veiwers to watch hoping for content beyond what Sailing Melody was trying to sell to you.I understand this Channel needs funds for Sailing,but think this Channel has hung its veiwers out to dry,by not announcing the intentions of making it,and for those reasons I will watch a more suitable channel that I consider to have more integrety.
Another great addition to Melody in preparation for sailing the globe.
No need for negativity. Can't wait to get going. 👌
There’s always someone who has to moan and complain. Ignore him. I think the Bluetti system will be a great addition for your boat.

Looks like it’ll be just the ticket for you. Handy system, that.

Yes we definitely want to recommission the original fridge 😄
Dear Melissa, Andy, Oliver and captain Jack,

Glad you have the new equipment
That's an interesting system. I hope it's going to be reliable on a long term.
You may also consider fixing your old fridge which is based on a very old but reliable technology. Just in case 😉
Yes we will definitely fix the old fridge then probably run one of them as a freezer 😁
Is there a link to Bluetti that provides you a commission for any sales promoted by this very good advert? I am in the US. 👍
There isn’t no. We don’t make any commission from rhe sales but we’re totally happy promoting this product because it’s genuinely is relevant to what we are doing and great quality.
Very neat.
You must be getting paid real good advertising.

Thank you for letting us know. We will look into this.
👍🏽👍🏽

I don't see a link for it
Sure I watched this on Wednesday
It's just the promo but if the episode for bluetti
Yes we had an agreement with Bluetti. As payment for the setup we agreed to release an integrated segment and a “stand-alone” version
The whole thing is an ad..... Good on you anyway getting some free goods but yea boring 😴😴😴
Yes it is a bluetti promotion, normal episode on wednesday.
Very disappointing episode , just one giant advert for Bluetti from start to finish, I wonder why?

Don't click on a video called Bluetti Solar Swap then you muppet. Great review. Well done.
Another commercial……..I’m OUT
sponsors make up 40% of our income so 🤷♂️

Take no bloody notice of these idiots, they're just jealous of you realising your dream life ❤. Brilliant power banks 👌

I think the title and thumbnail makes it very clear it's a promotion!
