I found a nice little free resource today… It’s a free acess membership site with a ton of resale rights and PLR content. You can get free access right now.

I’m sure you’ve heard of YouTube, and maybe MetaCafe, and maybe even Viddler…. but what about Blip.tv, or HowCast, or Sclipo?

Part two of this series on creating content is a tutorial on building web pages using Nvu. If you came here yesterday looking for this post then apologies for the slight delay. I decided this tutorial would work better as a video, so it’s taken slightly longer to put together but I hope you’ll agree it was worth the effort (plus I was really busy yesterday working through the RRS material!).
