Video Tutorials

We all need a little boost sometimes.  Maybe it’s because you simply do not know, but perhaps, it’s also because it’s slipped your mind.

We all have larger work commitments than before — with more clients, accounts and passwords to wrangle, so that’s why we’re posting some video ‘refresher’ courses pertaining to some of those things that we just don’t do every day.

Not to say that a beginner cannot learn something too!  Hopefully these videos are helpful for both stages — for those just starting out, who will want to watch them all the way through, to the more advanced user, who just needs to fast-forward to the part that they’ve forgotten.

We have partnered with some talented people who have recorded these instructional videos for us.  There’s 30 such videos and we’ll sharing them over the next several weeks.  (It does take some time to compile the audio and video files in between our ‘other’ work…)

Here is a list of videos that we’re processing for you.  Perhaps you may find something that you’d like to brush up on.  Enjoy!
