I posted about my zoo train video already. It was my first YouTube upload.

My second video is a recording of the last part of a presentation of an exhibit at the House on the Rock, a Wisconsin attraction located near Spring Green. It was the only video that turned out. The others I recorded did not have enough lighting to record a video with my digital camera. This one was against a window with daylight with enough lighting for a decent if not perfect video. Another difficulty is recording without background chatter. You have to find a time when there's no one in the room and everyone agrees to be quiet. I'm not spending all way waiting for the right time, so I get what I can and move on.

What I did capture was OK. It plays back well and is good enough to promote the attraction. This musical exhibit is one of the most intriguing parts of House on the Rock, creations like this that must require special skills for maintenance. In the days before video and television entertainment, people created exhibits like this for public entertainment. It may look like a lazy man's vision of a home orchestra or an extension of the player piano concept. I imagine the special maintenance requirements probably limited range of potential owners.

The general impression of House on the Rock is part museum, part P T Barnum experience. Keep in mind that Baraboo, Wisconsin, home to Circus World is just to the north and east. You do get several museum tour options and there are various paths to take, but it's really more of a presentation than a museum that displays items in categorized rooms and floors. There's a certain "cheezy" aspect to it all and you can even smell cheese wafting from the food court located in the Millhouse area. But it's also entertaining at the same time. Where else do you get to see a ship's engine and propeller close up? Or amazing ship models? Or a huge collection of dolls that you can't resist talking about with your museum tour mates? It's a Disneyland trip of the imagination that's both fun and illustrates why collection-based hobbies need to be managed.

I have photo album collections on Facebook, accessible to Milwaukee Time Lords Facebook fan page members here. Go check out the amazing views and read the challenges of taking indoor photos here. If you do go, perhaps you can take better photos and get the really challenging subjects (metal and ceramic tea cups behind glass with red lighting).

My Blogger Updated

I found the link page to tie my Blogger to my Google+ accounts. It started with a return to my Yahoo email account to recover my ClixSense account. Then I found lots of notifications of spam to my Blogger. I am trying to delete all spam comments. And then I need to find and delete all spam notifications to my Yahoo account.

Entering comments just to score Blogger points is very annoying and in the end does not work because perhaps just one comment of the dozens sent made it to the blog comments. The best thing to do is create your own blog around your interests and attract an audience first. The sales comes much later, perhaps months down the road. For time being this is a huge nuisance requiring regular account maintenance. 

If you are looking for effective advertising strategies and resources, go to my website, which is connected to this blog. There are lots of ideas for you to try. Build a social media page. Try safelists, traffic exchanges, putting your logo on a jacket and mobile marketing. 

Here's my website index page:

Get a website with your own URL. They aren't expensive. Build it up and make it friendly with search engines. I saw in a video that Wikipedia is an example to follow where they are doing SEO right. 

Best of wishes on building your online business empire.
