Just ran across this site yesterday and it looks very interesting.

Check out Qarbon at http://www.qarbon.com

This company specializes in building, publishing and syndicating little java-based tutorials called "viewlets" on hundreds of subjects. If you sign up as a partner and post their tutorials on your site, you earn 25% of the ad banner revenues generated when your visitors use the tutorials. The tutorials are well-done, too.

Check out their online library. Under "Web Design", I see tutorials for Frontpage, Dreamweaver, GoLive, Hotdog, AOL Press, Fireworks, Photoshop and others. Under the "Internet" category, I see tutorials in WS-FTP, CuteFTP, and DirectFTP.

Here's how I can see them helping a hosting reseller. By posting an online tutorials section that contains a library of relevant Qarbon viewlets at your website, clients will use the tutorials and ask less questions of you, freeing up your time. In addition, you get an additional revenue stream.

Sounds like a win-win situation for all.

In addition, you can download the Viewlet Builder and build your own viewlets. Submit them to Qarbon for syndication. If others download and use your tutorials, you get 40% of the ad revenue generated from them.

Imagine building a set of viewlets on how to use the Alabanza control panel and how many resellers (and their clients) would use them and you can imagine that it might add up to a pretty penny.

I'm not affiliated with them in any fashion. I am just very impressed with these viewlets and Qarbon's business modela and thought others here should know about them.

I just downloaded the Viewlet creation software. It is a very interested concept and program. The only thing I do not like about the editing software is that it is written in Java and thus is very slow.

Best regards,
