[@MichaelStephenLordReserei1987]

It's Second Life's 15th birthday this year. So it's technically older than WoW--North America release of that game was late 2004, with the European release being early 2005. You can visit what is supposed to be the oldest sim--Da Boom (in reference to The Big Bang). I remember a buddy having an avi in SL around 2004, although I didn't join until 2008. So I'm one of those old timers who have a surname. Although, if I recall, LL are bringing back surnames. No specific date other that later this year. It'll be similar to the old system where you can select from a dropdown list, although fees apply.

[@rockysandman5489]

Legendary Music Nice to meet a fellow old timer on here. I joined way back in 2010... Nickolas Farlight... Until... The accident. Long story short I got banned, and then I made an account in 2011 as a Resident. Ugh. The good part though is the addition of Display Names. I've left SL in 2014 though. I have been pretty much out of the loop ever since. No idea what's going on in SL anymore lmao. I plan to record my planned return and upload it to my channel if you're interested.

I have a store within SL on another avatar and make around 1200. USD a month, which is a nice little PT salary, but it took putting a lot of RL money getting put in to purchase animations, mesh, textures, etc on top of the time it takes to build your brand and get your name out there.

I have also made some really nice friends and may have even met a lovely lady. The business transactions are optional, no one necessarily has to do it. there are plenty of free stores to modify your avatar. I started out with 0L, a free player and I got a job as a host at a club and I am earning money. Whether you encash it or use it in-game is totally up to the owner.

TheAsylumchild Yes doesn`t work that way YET ! :) You forgot to say doesn`t work like that YET. Second Life is just in the pioneering days this virtual platform will evolve or another platform more evolved will come out. If you Second life business experience is not taken seriously now doesn`t mean has to be the same in the future. Remember at some point in history people belived the Earth is flat? Well we know isn`t flat today...same thing can happened about virtual world platforms. People from my generation (I`m 43) are not open too much to this stuff yet but watching the new generation in subway trains testing or playing games on their smartphones I think they will find a better use for this virtual worlds platforms ! Why take a plane to fly at Tokyo for a business meeting when you can have one in a virtual platform? That will reduce some costs for real life companies with transport and accommodation isn`t it? So why not start using that?!? Is simply because my generation is too narrow minded...they are used to do things in old fashion way....

I saw one saying that this woman was in a fatal car accident. The SL housing bubble burst. Which is true. I bought land for a pretty penny and would rent out property. Then the Linden’s started creating lots of amazing sims which were much cheaper to purchase, so the retail and land purchasing bubble burst. It’s 2023 and I can see that the skins are now amazing.

The Chungs now hold the best land, if you're just looking at prims allowed and price. They offer the most prims for the cheapest, with the best support, I have found. They (the Chungs) are not all nice, but most of them are. Heidi is the sweetest, and I have lived on Victoria Chung's properties and was "griefed" by neighbors and not responded to or helped in the end. So, of course I went to a different member of the family. There are some Beautiful rental properties that are not owned by the Chungs, of course, as they don't hold a monopoly. But IMHO, if you're getting back into it/are a beginner in renting land, and don't want to commit to LL's per month Premium membership yet, search Chung properties (just to compare and find what you want). I pay about 1,700 linden per week for over 3000prims. That's great! The 24 hour support this couple in the video talk about, that's how it still is with most successful sim owners.

So how can you make money on Second Life in 2018

[@Mmmm_tea]

her profile still exists but all the landmarks are dead, looks like they abandoned sl real estate

[@WildVee]

I haven't played SL before, however based on all the videos out there and what people say, it seems like you need to invest a lot of money before you can even dream of making any profits. It also depends on what you want to do, if you want to make virtual items & clothes I'd assume that would be a lot easier to do, with less risks involved, but you'd also earn less money. Real estate sounds like it's where the big bucks are, but it's a huge gamble. You're probably better off finding a RL job unless you have a lot of money to begin with ... or don't intend on investing any real money at all and slowly saving up Linden over time (probably gonna take you a while lol) As someone who works from home as a digital artist, it took me ~1.5 years to finally get a big fanbase, and I imagine it's going to take me a while more before I get enough people interested in buying my artwork so I can live off of it comfortably.. I'd imagine that's how long it would take you as a content creator on SL as well, since it's a very similar branch. You need to be active as hell, post constantly and advertise yourself, and it still takes a lot of time. So if that's not something you're interested in doing in the long run, I wouldn't recommend wasting your time and money.

Funny you say that because in the interview he said he was making $72,000 a year at the bank dosnt sound like much of a loser to me.. and he is living comfortably selling land on SL... sounds smart to me. Plus the guys is most likely making more money then you and he gets to do in the comfort of his own home..

[@Stupafyinglogic]

Since the SL Real Estate market (can’t believe that.. was actually a thing) crashed a few years after the video was made im positive they ran headfirst into the job force or attempted to crawl back into their old jobs

[@Phantom-ez4zv]

@@Stupafyinglogic sl real estate still exist, 50k online in SL on regular basis, several companies from 2007 still operating now, most of them make around 2 to 6kusd a month, some are higher some are lower. 100region and up are making over 2k usd profit, 300 regions and up around 4 to 8k a month, 1000regions+ is where you see serious profit, Source, me with several regions, i have mingled with real estate owners and came close to one who gave me genuine insight on the business (he was my friend before he decided to get several hundred regions).... it wont make you a millionaire but theres money in it still.

SL would be so fucking awesome with the Oculus Rift virtual reality system! :D

[@jacksmith3635]

or maybe if the avatars weren't so horrible and there was something to actually DO other than talk to furries about being a furry

[@Aerox90]

Well, I play to build my own dream-house and explore stuff. Like theme-parks, rave-parties, cities, making friends (yes I have friends outside SL) and just to pass time. There's A LOT you can do! The avatars isn't that bad if you have a good computer that can handle high graphics.

Not true second life has lindens which convert to real life money. It's a currency. Do your research.

Thx for the info

@@deanholland5442 it's not a game, it's a virtual reality and it's not slowing down. Also the people you call "retards", yea quiet a few of them are making 5 to 6 figures every month/year. There are some really talented people on SL. Try it out before you bash it.
