MerchantTutorials.com Announces 3D Tutorials

Inspired by Avatar, Chuck Lasker has invested a fraction of $248,321 in a new, 3D screen capture technology to create 3D Miva Merchant tutorials. "This is a great first day of April," said Lasker, "I hope it helps people feel more like they're in front of a real life computer that's moving around when they watch the tutorials."

Here's what an original, 2D, boring tutorial looked like:

And here's what the brand new amazing 3D tutorial looks like!!

Yes, it's a great new technology, worth every dime, don't you think?

Miva Merchant Skins – Free Tutorials!

If you do not have the design experience necessary to create a professional looking online store, and you don't have the funds to hire a professional designer, you might consider using a Miva Merchant Skin. For a relatively low price (discounted at the moment), you can have a professional-quality design that you can customize fairly easily. At the time of this post, there are 26 designs, from Children's Store to Electronics Store.

Go To Miva Merchant Skins Page

I have created four tutorials for the Advanced Subscribers about how to work with Skins. However, in order to help those who are thinking about purchasing a Skin or who have bought one and are struggling, I'm putting them here for everyone at no charge.
