Totally dry brake system...Any special way to bleed?

My entire brake system is bone dry. I understand how to bleed brakes starting at the right rear and working toward the front left. I understand to not let the master run dry during the process.

Is there anything else I need to know when doing a complete brake fluid replacement and bleeding? Anything special to do with the master?
Thanks.

if the master cylinder is bone dry you're supposed to bench bleed it, because the master cylinder is mounted at an angle and theres a little air bubble at the tip of the cylinder that cannot get out unless the master cylinder is level

or you can just jack up the rear of the car so high that the master cylinder is level (just kidding0


bleed it a couple of times just to be safe
