See ways to make a realistic money in the digital land

By C. Night

Need work you can do in a home office?

Now there is something wonderful and cutting edge that you could use to promote or create anything you want to. A Virtual Three-D World named Second Life?.

Thousands are making well over fifty-thousand dollars a year in this virtual land! I will explain some of the ways.

You probably want:

Computer

Net Access

Photo Shop or Gimp

Second Life (Gratis)

Spare Time to Create

Books & Tutorials

First you will want an account if you don't already have one. The software and account are 100% free. Also available are optional premium accounts for additional features such as owning land, but they are not must have.

You could also rent land from other residents if you need it. This is not like WoW or Everquest 2! This is the 3D internet for the future!

When you have your account and Second Life is in your computer you will need to adjust yourself with the world and how it works.

There are usually excellent tutorials for this right inside the world. I suggest visiting the help areas on the Second Life official website as well.

When you are used to with the mechanics of Second Life you can begin to think about what you could do to make $$$ there.

The possibilities are really never ending! Some things you might do are; Clothing, Architecture, Posing, Animating, Art, Hairstyling, Avatar skin or Shapes, Elaborate Jewels, Footwear, Accessories, Furniture, Weapons, Trains, or start your own business services.

The whole world is run by the residents who use it!

Once you choose what you want to do you can then learn how to do it. This would be where you want to find a good guide and some resources to help you through this important step. As well I greatly suggest reading "Your Virtual World Business Guide - Success through creativity in the Second Life world."

Because they included full color tutorials and step-by-step guides that you will not find anywhere else.

As a parting I wish you the greatest of luck in your virtual adventure to financial freedom. The opportunity is a wonderful one if you are serious about making a home business real.

Tips & Warnings

Second Life is 100% No Cost - no need to go premium unless you want to buy land!

You can buy OR rent land to sell your items from. :)

Second Life has well over a million unequaled accounts!

The Second Life Wiki is a great resource.

YouTube often has no cost tutorial vids

Be careful of paying insane prices to buy land.

If renting, talk with other SLers to learn if the virtual landlords are reliable and stable.

Sims with health enabled are not commonplace, but if you see a heart by your name that means the area allows weaponry. Do not worry, if attacked you will return unharmed to your home. Go grab that book and get started! - 15431
