You’ve taken a great photo or wrote an amazing skit, what do you do with it
now? Use it once, file it away on your computer and forget about it? Or upload
it to a website where it can be used again and again by others all over the
world?
This was the concept behind twelvebaskets.co.uk. A creative resource site full
of photographs, illustrations, stories, scripts, songs, paintings and prayers,
everything you need for a sermon, assembly, presentation or many other uses. The
process is simple, if something is 100% your own work you can upload it to the
site. Images and written work can be downloaded by members (for an annual
subscription) and other digital content such as video, animations and powerpoint
can be purchased by anybody (priced individually). The contributor of the work
gains a royalty every time it is downloaded, as well as the knowledge that their
creation is being enjoyed again rather than buried on their hard drive.
Twelvebaskets is a resource sharing site, who's initial setup was funded by
the Methodist church.
The site is aimed at web designers, leaders of worship and preachers.
create it, share it, use it...
