What if I told you that there is an online virtual world called Second Life with its very own economy, which is creating virtual jobs for people and these people are making a living by selling and buying services and goods through their very own customized avatars which represent them in this exciting virtual world where anything is possible and an opportunity to make money online.
What is Second Life
Second life is a virtual 3D world and it is accessible via a broadband internet connection. Residents are able to access this virtual 3D world and are able to interact with each others avatars through a free client program called the Second Life Viewer. Within this virtual 3D world residents can explore, socialize, meet other residents, participate in individual or group activities, have business meetings, create and trade virtual property and services with there fellow avatars, or travel the grid which is the virtual world of Second Life.
Buying and selling of goods and services
The Linden dollar (L$) is used as the internal currency for Second Life and this can be used to trade some of the following virtual goods and services: land, buildings, vehicles, animations, clothing for avatars, skin and hair products, jewelry, landscape features and works of art just to name a few. If you are an entrepreneur then this might be a great way to try out those entrepreneurial skills and who knows you might walk away making a lot of money through Second Life.
The big money making drive in Second Life is the valuable and scarce commodity of land and property which can be bought, sold or rented, so if you are good at selling and buying property or an estate agent in real life then you can try replicating your skills to the virtual world.
If you develop or come up with items and services to offer in Second Life you may offer these in exchange for Linden dollars (L$), some services include working in stores, business management , tour guides, entertainment, etc. You are able to buy Linden dollars (L$) through the Second Life money exchange which can be bought with real-world currency US $.
How do I get started
You can signup for a free Second Life account which allows you to make use of the virtual world for any period of time. If you are interested in buying and selling of land, property, goods and services you will need to convert to a Premium membership once you have joined up for the free account (US$9.95 per month) which facilitates access to an increased level of technical support, and provides a stipend of L$300/week.
If you are interested in finding out more, I suggest you go to Second life and read up more about this exciting virtual world and all the money making opportunities. I would also recommend reading the System requirements to see if your computer is good enough to run the Second Life Viewer.
