Here is a great tip for first-time deep-sea Alaska content creators dreaming of catching the ultimate content.
The 49th State
Are you the type of Dallas Cowboys fan who likes to fish? I have a sea story to share. My 4-day trip to The 49th State was strictly business. After researching Anchorage weeks before my departure I developed a game plan for the ultimate content grab on the deep sea.
If this is your first time on the ocean your "Sea Legs" may lead you to getting "Seasick" in the process. Here is how to not get caught lacking as a content creator on the Pacific Ocean and more on this week's edition of NLG.
In last week's edition, I mentioned my trip to AK. The definition of a "Content Grab" was on my mind. Linking up my Facebook community from the Lower 48 to the land of the midnight sun was the primary objective.
Since yesterday after returning I've been in the lab producing exclusive supporter video content to share in our Facebook group. I sit in amazement staring at all the Alaska content I grabbed. I even managed to not get "Seasick" in the process. Twenty-three years on active duty in the Navy gave me a leg-up when it came to "Sea Legs."
Our Little Secret
Each June moving forward Alaska will be on my summer schedule for a couple of reasons. Sunlight and opportunity. In Alaska winters I hear go 'Zero Dark Thirty" for 7 months out of the year. Summer is the best time to get your lines in the water. You're not chasing daylight like in The Lower 48.
During my stay, I found myself relaxing on the deck balcony of our group's exclusive AIRBNB. Not realizing that it was almost midnight while still daylight. Thankfully I was able to adjust to the 1 hour time change and increase my Vitamin D supply in the process.
It has been years since I was on a Navy ship. Thankfully my Grandfather who was also retired Navy took me on Speckled Trout free shrimping fishing trips in his boat during the summer in the Gulf Of Mexico. I felt seasoned but also took RC Woodson's advice on how to not get "Sea Sick" on our trip.
What's the secret? Dramamine. I was reluctant to take the pill the night before to prove a point. However, I didn't want to get "Seasick." Nothing would stop me from grabbing this content to promote next year's VIP "Influencer" Great Alaskan Fishing Trip.

Most Wonderful Time Of the Year
June kicks off summer in Alaska. It's perfect timing for Cowboys fans to plan their first trip to The 49th State. Anchorage has at least one of everything. If you love seafood and cleaner tap water eating out locally is good for the body. This long Twilight Zone stretch from minicamp to training camp each summer now presents a travel opportunity for us both.
Those 4 days flew by so fast but it was such a life-changing experience for me. Not only as a content creator but a human being amazed by the sights. The trip from Anchorage to Seward, AK is one of the most beautiful drives in the world. I left so much content meat on the bone.
The drive from Anchorage to the seaside community of Seward begins with two hours of spectacular views as you pass between the dramatic shorelines of Turnagain Arm and the jutting peaks of the Chugach Mountains. Your route continues through the Kenai Peninsula, famous for its array of outdoor activities.
My initial trip has now given me proof of concept. In addition, the groundwork and logistics to increase the value of these annual fishing trips. Especially for content creators coming next June. Nothing will move in the Cowboys fan base in AK without RC and BG approval.
How To
Are you a professional on LinkedIn who loves the Dallas Cowboys and fishing? Are you a member of Microsoft or Google and also a Cowboys fan? Next June our VIP trip will be by invitation only. Our goal next year is to cast a wider net on what we have going on in The 49th State. Here is how to stay updated.
In addition, many of the Cowboys Fan Base Creators in my exclusive network will be hand-picked to attend next year. Now that I have proof of concept and all the logistics under my belt it's time to launch "Operation Expansion" by casting a wider net on social media.

I'm thankful my seasoned sea legs held me upright. The Dramamine pill was hard to swallow the night before. Either way, I survived and lived to tell you this story. It's no longer a secret. Thanks to the advice from the man who put this trip all together. The "Coldest Cowboys Fan" I know in the world. RC Woodson.
