February 24th, 2011
Second Life is a virtual world where you can explore new places and interact with people from all over the world. Much like our real world if you want a place to live, new clothes, and nice things, you’ll also need money.
The Linden dollar (L$) is the currency in Second Life. You can buy and exchange SL Linden dollars for US dollars or other currencies. Many residents don’t buy their L$ but instead earn money through a number of different ways.
- Create and sell content – clothing, items, gadgets, etc.
- Host and perform at events – Concerts, gameshows, fashion shows, etc.
- Participate in referrer/affiliate programs – Make sure they are legit
- Fill out surveys – Make sure they are legit
- Win prizes – Play games at events etc.
- Buy and sell land – Virtual real estate
- Get a job – Work for a company
- Sell information – Write manuals, teach classes etc.
- Camping chairs – Make money without doing anything
You can also bring your real words skills to Second Life and profit off of them. There are endless opportunities but if you’re new to the game you might need a little help getting started.

Second Life Forum: Get Connected Today
February 10th, 2011
One February 14 (Valentine’s Day) HBO will be featuring a documentary called When Strangers Click: Five Stories from the Internet. There is a lot of excitement and anticipation in the SL world since this is the game that will be featured the documentary.
The film presents several stories about people finding love online. One of which is the Second Life story of how a talented musician met a woman at an in-world performance and how their worlds changed dramatically after this chance encounter.
While most members of Second Life may never meet anyone that will change their live that significantly, it is a game based largely around socialization so having friends is an important aspect of the game.
The film is being credited for realistically presenting the virtual world and its possibilities. Second Life does receive its share of criticism so it will be refreshing to see the game viewed in the more positive manner it deserves.
In a game that is so similar to our real word it is very important to be connected with other people. This can also be done outside the game in online chat rooms and Second Life forums. Not only is it important for you to have trustworthy friends for social reasons but knowing the right people can also mean a world of difference in terms of job opportunities, getting SL tips to help you out, and just having someone there that you can depend on.
This is not a game designed to play solo, get connected today.
