There are a wide range of skill game machines where Linden can be earned. While these games may resemble real-world casino game machines, they should all comply with {{LLOlink|Policy Regarding Wagering in Second Life|Wagering policy}} and {{LLOlink|Skill Game Compliance}}.

'''Regulatory warning.''' It is mandatory to make an upfront investment of Linden into many of these game machines to play the skill game, and you may get back less than what you invested. The only exception is machines in 'free-play' mode, where an investment is either not required, or is guaranteed to be paid back to you, however no earnings can be achieved from machines operating in this mode.

== Chatting ==

There are a wide range of Chat Sploders such as the ever popular [http://www.secondads.com/chatsploder.php Chatsploder Network] available in various clubs and other areas. These allow you to earn linden by waiting for the 'explosion' which may take quite some time. In the mean time you can chat and make new friends.

== Lotteries ==

These are devices where players first make contributions to an aggregated pot. Once the pot exceeds a threshold, a countdown to an 'explosion' begins (such as 3 mins) during which further contributions are typically still accepted. At the 'explosion' the pot is randomly distributed between contributors.
UPDATE: Be aware of LL's wagering policies as paying to win on a game of chance such as a sploder or lottery can be interpreted as a violation.
There are free sploders which are used to generate traffic that cost nothing to play which are legal. {{LLOlink|Policy Regarding Wagering in Second Life|Wagering policy}} and {{LLOlink|Skill Game Compliance}}.

'''Regulatory warning.''' It is mandatory to make an upfront investment of Linden into the aggregated pot to participate in this activity, and generally you may get back less than what you invested. However there are some devices that guarantee a minimum payout that is equal to the minimum contribution, please check device-generated chat messages.

== Camping ==

These allow you to earn Linden or prizes for camping, e.g. sitting chairs or touch Sploders, which you have to touch to begin a countdown to an 'explosion' at the end of which a landowner's pot of money is randomly distributed between touchers. Some of these devices have you earn Linden, others have you earning other things such as new skins, clothes or other virtual game items. All you have to do touch them or sit on them, then continue camping on them (or reasonably close to some others) for the required amount of time to earn your prize. While some opine it is the least fun way to earn Linden ever invented due to lack of interaction with these devices during the camping time, others argue that it is just as much fun as any other activity, because while camping you are still free to chat and make new friends. A further advantage is that it is a relatively simpler way that does not require much time or physical input, and is therefore quite suitable for people with disabilities.

== Area Camping ==

These are similar to camping devices above, except that you simply need to be present on the land within a certain proximity of the device for the required amount of time to earn your prize, which is typically awarded to a resident chosen at random. These include Random Money Givers, and sometimes require that you become a member of the group owning the land, or add the land to the list of your SL Picks in order to be considered for an award.

= Completing Surveys, Surfing Sites & Web Offers =

It is possible to earn linden by completing surveys, surfing websites or filling web offers. Unfortunately this can be very haphazard and you may not receive payment if you don't fit the demographic that the company is looking for.

= Investing =

If you have some capital to invest you can simply invest in one of the companies listed on the [http://www.slcapex.com/ Capital Exchange] and then hope to earn dividends over time. You can either try to earn Linden by making a long term investment, or you can speculate on daily market movements.

'''Regulatory warning.''' The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than what you invested.

[[File:Gold discovered small.png|frame|alt=increase traffic second life|[http://www.goldtokens.net/games/gold-hunt Gold Hunt Traffic Game] is a great way to get players to explore your land.]]
[[File:Fishing bikini small.png|frame|alt=get visitors second life|[http://www.goldtokens.net/games/fish-hunt Fish Hunt Traffic Game] allows you to hold fishing events to bring large concentrated traffic to your land.]]

==Games and Other Attractions==

A good way to attract avatars to visit your land is to include fun attractions that will encourage repeat visits. Essentially people need a reason to visit your land in the first place. There are a number of games that exist to help attract players to your land.

===ADS Games===

The [http://www.goldtokens.net/ Goldtokens Gaming Network] which is one of the largest gaming networks in Second Life with over 40,000 players participating per month. They provide a wide range of different games that allow players to form clans, farm and trade resources and earn linden dollars - all while exploring lands in Second Life.

====Gold Hunt====

The [http://www.goldtokens.net/games/gold-hunt Gold Hunt] is a hugely popular grid-wide hunt game. Players explore locations across Second Life in the search for coins and gems that allow them to earn linden dollars. This is an ideal game if you'd like players to explore all different areas of your land.

====Fish Hunt====

The [http://www.goldtokens.net/games/fish-hunt Fish Hunt] is an extremely popular fishing game. Players visit a fishing buoy located on your land and are able to earn linden dollars by fishing. If you are looking for visitors to be concentrated in one area of your land then this is a great option.

The game is essentially free for players who start the Fish Hunt by getting free fishing equipment from the marketplace. They then find new locations to fish at using their player HUDs and the game's website. They can then choose from a range of accessories such as improved fishing rods and bait.

==Inworld Advertisement==

[[File:Adboard small.png|frame|alt=get visitors second life|The [http://www.secondads.com/ SecondAds Advertising Network] has thousands of automated advertisement boards distributed in sims all over Second Life.]]

Advertising inworld is another option that may help you increase traffic. There are a wide range of advertisement boards available to rent in locations across Second Life. Some of these get a considerable exposure and are therefore great places to promote your brand and your land. Those who click on them usually receive a notecard or other item that the renter has deposited there.

Alternatively, you might choose to advertise using an advertisement network such as [http://www.secondads.com/ SecondAds] which has thousands of adboard locations spread all over Second Life. These networks usually charge based on clicks and impressions and therefore can be more cost effective then renting a single adboard and hoping that someone will choose to click on it.

==Second Life Search==

One of the first things a new landowner interested in increasing their traffic should be to add their land to the Second Life search. This is done by going to the 'About Land' panel and ticking the box that says 'Show Place in Search'. Doing so will cost 30 Linden Dollars a week. It's also important to select the right category for your land as this will be displayed in search. There is a detailed guide on [http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Guidelines-for-creating-search-listings/ta-p/803947 how to get listed in search].

After listing in search it might take 24 hours or so to see yourself displayed in the in-game search. However, be patient and soon enough you will see yourself listed there. Detailed guidelines are provided on [http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Guidelines-for-creating-search-listings/ta-p/803947 how to write your search listing].

==Holding Events==

Holding events is another great way to attract visitors to your land. There are a wide number of ways to promote events such as teleporting in your friends and holding special games and prizes. However, possibly one of the best ways to promote your event is to list it in the official [https://secondlife.com/my/community/events/index.php Featured Events Guide]. This will mean your event can be advertised well in advance both on the Second Life website and in the Second Life Viewer itself. There is a detailed guide on [http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Inworld-events/ta-p/841291 how to list events] available.

==Classified Adverts==

Another option is to pay for classified advertisements in the Second Life Search. These are essentially paid listings which are ranked according to how much has been paid. To add a classified listing go to your profile and you'll see options listed under your picks. There is also a detailed [http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Classified-advertisements/ta-p/700049 guide on adding classified listings] available.

==Destination Guide==

Becoming listed in the destination guide is an excellent seal of approval for what your land has to offer. You'll be specially featured for a short period which will bring a rush of interest and attract a rush of new visitors. It also means you'll be featured in the Second Life Search under the destination guide section, bringing gradual additional traffic over time. There is a detailed guide on [http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/About-the-Second-Life-Destination-Guide/ta-p/700059 how to get included in the destination guide] available.

Getting Linden Dollars FAQ

2013-04-04T15:13:51Z

AmyNevilly Resident:

{{Help|Misc=*}}

==== Disclaimer ====

* What is said here is my opinion, not that of Linden Lab.
* It does not constitute financial or tax advice.
* This advice is intended to be useful, and factually accurate, but neither of these things are in any way guaranteed.
* If you have any ideas about how to improve this helpfile, please send them to me.

==== Warning: jobs in SL pay little compared to jobs in RL ====
Before we begin, there is one thing about L$ in SL that you absolutely must know. This is that jobs in SL typically do not pay as much as jobs in Real Life do. Therefore the most effective way (in terms of time) to get L$ is usually to get a good real life job and buy L$ on the [http://secondlife.com/currency LindeX] or various other currency exchanges, such as [http://www.slexchange.com/modules.php?name=Currency&file=easybuy SLX]. There are various currency exchanges, I suggest looking at [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/L$_Marketplace Marketplace] for the RISK API approved third party websites.

==== There are alternative ways to get linden dollars ====
Instead of working low-paid jobs you can [http://www.goldtokens.net/ get linden dollars in Second Life] by playing earning games. Landowners fund a wide range of games such as the [http://www.goldtokens.net/games/gold-hunt Gold Hunt], [http://www.goldtokens.net/games/fish-hunt Fish Hunt] and [http://www.dragons.sl/docs/Index Dragons and Princesses] which allow players to earn linden dollars.

==== Caveats to the "buy it for USD" rule ====
There are cases where it might be a good idea to seek a job in SL anyway:
* you have serious problems in your life which prevent you ever getting a good real life job - for example, you have severe disabilities.
* you have a decent real life job, but the banks where you live will not give you a credit or debit card, and you can't get a PayPal account. Thus you have no way of buying L$ for RL money. In this case I would urge you to talk to very good, close, *trustworthy* friends about other ways of buying L$ - for example, in exchange for cheques in the post.
* you already have a good real life job, and you just want a job in SL to have something fun and rewarding to do.
* you have other priorities in your Real Life, such as saving for your kid's college fund.

==== How to spot low-income jobs ====
The first thing everyone should read on the subject of jobs in SL is the [[Guide to Jobs in Second Life]]. This gives you an idea of many of the basic job categories in SL. Typically most of these jobs are identifiable because:
* they require a lot of "low intensity time" - that is, time you're around the computer waiting for something to happen, or otherwise not doing much. Examples: a security guard waiting for griefers to show up, a dancer/escort using animations and sometimes talking to customers waiting to get hired, etc.
* require relatively little skill. Examples : a security guard in *some* cases needs only to know who to ban and how to ban them. The 'who to ban' is usually covered by a set of rules given to them, and the 'how to ban' is usually as simple as shouting "/8 addt NAME" or similar to add them to the ban list of a security orb nearby.
* very similar jobs to them are done for free. For example, at many clubs, there are quite a lot of regular customers who have if not the power to ban griefers, at least the contact details of a club admin who can swoop in at short notice. There are lots of people in SL who are willing to have av-sex for free, indeed, some of the most popular locations in SL are based around the idea of free sex. Therefore, it is hard to earn L$ that way in Second Life because there are so many people willing to have sex for free.
* tend to be 'service' oriented. That is, if you're trying really hard to do something for someone else, you're probably in a much weaker position than someone who has people come to *them* for help.

==== How to earn more L$ and enjoy doing it ====
There are many jobs in SL that are low-paying and fall into the above category.
The SL wiki article above covers most of them. I do not mean to demean dancers, escorts, security guards, etc ... I am simply pointing out that if you want to be rich, they are probably not the jobs for you. Personally, I think of becoming rich as rather like becoming happy - it's a background goal in life that you accomplish best by doing other things. For example, if you're always thinking about how unhappy you are, becoming happy becomes your goal, and then you start looking for short-term ways to become happy, like drugs or casual sex. Invariably these provide a quick-fix but leave the longer-term problem unsolved, and soon you are back where you started, even more unhappy because you remember that for a few moments you were happy. The effective way to become happy is to put unhappiness out of your mind - refuse to be unhappy - and settle down doing something you enjoy, something that helps you in the long term, something that challenges and distracts and motivates you and generally gets you interested in life again.
Similarly, the best way to earn L$ is not to be always focused on earning L$ - rather, it is to do things which have as side effects producing lots of L$, and to be so focused on doing these things well that you don't notice the amount of L$ you make. This has two advantages - firstly as you're not so distracted with L$ you can focus on your work and thus produce better quality work, thus earning more L$ ... and secondly if you're focused on your work all the time your L$ tends to build up because you're so focused on your work you do not have time to spend it.
So, to summarise: the best way of making L$ is to pick something that you enjoy doing anyway and are good at, and try to find a way of making L$ from that. Develop your natural skills and try to use them to address a want or need people have. Use your mind (or hire someone else's!) to do the things you can't do - for example if you come up with a great new idea for a product, sell it to a company that makes products like that. If you make products but are stuck for new ideas, hire some creative thinkers to get you back on track. Develop your own skills to a high level, and co-operate with other people who have other skills to make something that people will buy, then split the profits.

Of course, as with any capitalist system, the most lucrative job is the one where you come up with an idea of how to make something quickly and cheaply, yet this thing you make is in high demand and can be sold for lots of L$. By the time everyone else figures out that they could make this too, you've sold a ton of them and made a lot of L$.

Unfortunately these jobs are the hardest to get, because they require you to:
# be able to identify what consumers need or want, before most of them are even aware of it themselves.
# be able to design a solution to their problem that is both effective, appealing and cost-effective to produce.
# be able to make people aware of your product and convince them to buy it.

The key to getting this kind of job is that you:
# Identify what skills you have.
# Identify what needs or wants other people have which are not yet met by any existing product.
# Figure out a way to meet a need or want that people have with one or more of your skills.

For example: In my case, I identified that I'm a good writer and researcher. I realised that a lot of people in SL like or are curious about how to do good roleplay - but they don't know much about it because information like that just wasn't written down anywhere in SL that I or anyone I asked could find. I saw a way to help people learn and thus improve the quality of their lives, by researching roleplay and them teaching them how to do it well.
I could have tutored them one on one, but it is a far better use of my time to have a vendor selling my work 24/7 while I am off doing other things.
My point is that I saw a way I could be useful to many people by making something for them - I made it - I started selling it and it is selling well.

To make a product that sells well, you have to match your existing skills to what consumers want. Develop your skills, identify what consumers want, make it, sell it, and profit from doing so. Try to make something that you *enjoy* making - as that will keep you motivated to do a better job and result in a better product more people want to buy.

==== Why you should always sell something you're personally interested in ====
Your peers and friends, the people you hang around with, are probably interested in roughly the same things as you are. If you use your skills on things you are interested in and thus make a product that people want, it will thus probably be tied to your interests, and thus be a way you get involved in the community as a businessperson. This is a good thing because it gives you social status amongst your friends as well as L$ ... and opens the door to opportunities in your business. For example, if your friends are interested in the same things as you, they might be interested in your product. If they're interested in your product then they might help you develop it in various ways like pointing out its flaws so you can fix them, or advertising it for you by telling their friends. You can encourage this sort of benefit by giving free samples of your finished product to your friends - if your product is good, they will recommend it to their friends and this is a great way to launch your product onto the market.
Thus, building a product based on your interests:
# gets you social status if done well
# is a great way to meet new people who share your interests
# provides a great excuse *not* to meet people you don't like ("sorry, busy with business stuff atm", for example)
# taps the resources your friends have, like the ability to give you feedback and help you develop your product, that may naturally lead to working together and thus building better friendships
# allows you to make use of the community by using people you know to give you free advertising via free samples, for example.
# motivates you - as you're MUCH more likely to work hard on a product you care about then one you don't care about.
# makes your product better - as you can draw on your knowledge and experience when making it ... plus that of your friends.
... etc

In short, always try to combine your skills and your interests to fill a gap in the market - produce something that addresses the wants/needs consumers have.

==== Identify and Use free resources ====
As an example: creating some things tends to cost more than creating others. Sound files, textures, etc, tend to cost L$10 per upload. This means that:
# if you're going to use lots of them, make sure you budget for this cost.
# you want to use as few of them as possible, unless you project to sell so much product the upload cost is tiny in comparison.

There are other things, however, which are free to create (and thus, you can experiment with creating products on them for free - so even if your product fails you have not lost L$!). My favourite example of these is notecards. I saw an opportunity to sell notecards full of information in Second Life ... it was perfect for me because I had the information anyway (so wouldn't spend anything to obtain it), creating the product cost next to nothing (because creation of notecards is free), and I could sell it for free too (because it really isn't that hard to make a vendor object in LSL script, and if you use free textures for your vendor, that's free too. Plus I found some malls that were just opening and gave me vendor space without needing to pay rent).
So, in summary, I worked out that I could create this product without needing to learn much in the way of new things, except how to script a vendor in LSL, which turns out to be very easy.
I created my product for a grand total of $0L, and started selling it, making L$ right off the bat, because it cost me nothing to make but people were buying it at between L$49 and L$199 per copy.

I'm not suggesting that everyone should scribble down anything they want on a notecard and try to sell it.
I'm simply saying that if you have a skill, or some knowledge about a special topic that you think might be useful to other people ... try to find a way to turn it into a solution to one of their problems (even one they did not know they had) - and they may start paying you for being so helpful.
Business is built on the principle of getting paid for being helpful - if you can help someone do something, and nobody else can, you are in a good position to say "I will only do this for you if you pay me". Obviously you need to do a lot of helpful things for free *before* you can say that, but once you have a reputation for helping people solve their problems, it is only natural that you start charging for this as you have a valuable product/service which other people can't do as well as you ... and you need some way to choose who you will help. Why not the person that pays the most? That's a quick way of deciding it that's impartial and turns the deals into both a win for the customer (they get what they want) and a win for you (you get the most L$ one can fairly demand for that product/service).

So, to summarise:
# Identify your skills, knowledge, and assets. Identify the free resources around you.
# Identify how to use what you have to meet a want/need that other people have, in the cheapest way possible. Look in places like the [http://forums.secondlife.com/forumdisplay.php?f=147 products wanted forum] first for ideas about what people might find useful - then try to find a way to meet that need at the minimum cost to you.
# Try to get some feedback from other people who know about relevant topics such as your skills and how much demand there really is for your product.
# If the startup cost is low or you reasonably expect to make a lot of L$ at this, and you have the free time, go for it.

==== Very quick ways to save/make L$ ====

# If you're going to buy or sell Lindens, use a limit buy or sell. If possible, time this order to make the most of the exchange rate. Also, if you're going to buy/sell L$, you should check out the different currency exchange sites listed at the top of this article, as their fees vary, and you can save yourself money by shopping around. The principle of "shop around" works in your favour here. Other principles such as "where possible, cut out the middleman", and "buy low, sell high" may help, but they depend on shopping around ... you don't know what's out there unless you shop around.
# Linden Lab have acted to outlaw SL "Banks" that offer interest-bearing accounts unless they have a real world banking license. This is after a series of banking collapses where banks that had offered ridiculously high interest rates could not meet their obligations. Ginko, for example, promised investors up to 50% a year interest and when it failed 75-90% of the money people had put into the bank was lost. If you find a bank still taking deposits for an interest-bearing account then make sure it is a real life bank because otherwise it is acting against SL rules and could be shut down at any time, taking your money with it.
# Similarly, stock exchanges like WSE, AVIX, SLCapex, ISE, are risky. They are prone to scandals which wipe out huge amounts of investor money. For example, when Linden Lab changed the rules to prohibit gambling in SL, the many companies on the World Stock Exchange that were based on gambling pretty much collapsed instantly. As a result, all their investors lost pretty much every penny they invested. Also bear in mind that most SL companies do not have the legal real world structures that might allow investors to recoup at least some of their money in the event of failure. Even entire exchanges such as the WSE can be 'closed' or have their trading 'halted' at any time. If you are going to buy shares then do your research, like you would for any real life investment, and don't buy any more stock than you can afford to abruptly lose. Do not assume that you will make any serious money this way. Financial services in SL are largely unregulated and are very immature, so the risks are very high.
# Encourage your customers to pay you in L$, rather than using sites like PayPal. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, PayPal is more expensive to use for business transactions - they charge a 2.5% fee for handling currency exchange, for example, which can be very significant if you're running a business in SL but aren't based in the USA. Secondly, PayPal will share your RL name with your customers unless you pay them extra for a business account. Thirdly, PayPal effectively locks up your money by taking what can be considered far too long to process withdrawals. Finally, people are more open to spending L$ than they are to spending USD, because they don't consider L$ to be 'real money', psychologically. Getting people to buy your product with cash is hard. Getting them to buy it with a credit or debit card is easier, because it doesn't *feel* so much like they're handing over money. Getting them to buy it with L$ is even easier still, as to them it feels like they're dealing with something akin to monopoly money ... "game money" that isn't serious. So, when you can, set prices in L$. The only exception to this is when you are dealing with large-value items, in which case you don't want to set prices in L$ because the resulting numbers are huge, and it shatters the illusion. It is also rather unethical, as frankly if you're setting your prices in L$ to disguise the fact that you're asking for a lot of USD, you probably ought to be spending your time improving your product, rather than trying to fool people with marketing. So, to put it simply: set your prices in L$ where it is convenient, and especially for low value items. For high value items, setting them in USD is probably more ethical and protects you from market fluctuations.
# Never, ever enter "lotteries". Similarly, never gamble. The reason is simple: the odds are always against you in the long term. The longer you play, the more likely you are to lose a lot of L$ this way. In all gambling, the house *always* takes your money in the long term. So, gamble if you must, just don't expect to win!
Lotteries are similar: at most they pay all funds paid into the lottery to a single lottery winner. Usually they pay a portion of what is paid into them. That means that when you enter a lottery you are trading L$1 for a ticket that is worth much less than L$1. You almost always lose money *and* value instantly, as soon as you buy a lottery ticket. For this reason, I would suggest that you never gamble and never buy lottery tickets, ever. I personally consider lotteries and gambling in general to be nothing more than a waste of money. I can see their appeal - they give you hope of a better situation in future - but it is false hope - they make sure you end up poorer than when you started. In order to buy enough tickets to be in with a meaningful chance of winning a lottery, you have to spend so much on tickets that it is not worth entering. For example, lets say a lottery pays out 90% of its ticket sales in a jackpot. To be in with a 50% chance of winning a L$90 jackpot, you'd have to pay $50 in tickets. It's pretty easy to see why buying 50% of the tickets in that lottery is a bad idea: you have a 50% chance of getting L$90 and a 50% chance of getting L$0. That averages out to L$45, which is less than what you paid in the first place. Effectively, any time you are buying a lottery ticket, or gambling, you are trading L$ or real USD money for a 'chance' which is worth less than what you are paying for it in terms of L$ or (in the real world) USD value. There is a reason that gambling is known as "a tax on people who can't do math".
Put simply: don't gamble or enter lotteries unless you enjoy losing lots of money.

==== Ethical Business ====

Put simply, most humans respond to kindness with kindness and unkindness with unkindness. As a business owner, you are dependent upon your customers. Therefore, you should always treat them well, because if you don't they will leave you in the lurch.
Basically, you're dependent on your customers, and so if you wrong your customers, your business will suffer. Always be nice to your customers - without them your business will fail.

A few ethical business tips:
# Be honest and accurate. Avoid mis-representing your product, your fees, or anything else about your business. Never, ever lie to a customer. You can emphasise the good qualities of your product, but you can never lie. You can say that "in my opinion, this is the best product for ______", but you cannot say "everyone thinks this is the best product", unless you have some kind of independent proof that *everyone*, without exception, really does think that.
# Be reliable. Keep your prices steady to hold customer confidence. Make sure you or someone you appoint can handle customer enquiries in a reasonable time. Make sure if you promise anything, that you keep your promises.
# Be a team player. Work with other businesses. Try to learn from them ... ask "what can I learn from _____?". Same with your customers. A lot of customers have this idea that the maker/customer relationship ends when they hand over the money. It shouldn't. You should give your customers an incentive to keep you in mind - that way they're more likely to mention you to other people and give you free advertising, and much more likely to feel like they had an enjoyable buying experience. Being cold and distant is not good for you emotionally or for the sales of your product. Personally, I reach out to my customers by offering them L$, from L$50 to L$500 for pointing out ways in which I could improve my product. I basically pay them to tell me what needs to be improved in my product, then I improve it along those lines. I also reach out to other businesspeople in SL. If I can't do a job, and it needs to be done, I look to hire someone with a reputation for quality results to do the work for me. I pay them to do it, too, and the price I pay them is based on a combination of what I can afford, what I think is a fair price for the work, what they think is a fair price for the work, and how much a similar service would cost elsewhere.
# If you screw up, admit it, find out how to fix the problem and fix it. Don't let your pride get in the way of doing the right thing. A lot of people actually give a great deal of respect to a person who is mature enough to admit their mistakes and learn from them.
# Make sure you have a few people who are both customers and friends. Typically, do this by giving free samples of your work to your friends in the early stages of development (they're the ideal beta testers as hopefully they share your interests, and your product is based on your interests). Once you do have a few customers who are also friends, try to encourage them to give you honest feedback on your product. A friend who says your product is great when it really sucks does you no favours. A friend who tells you it sucks because it does really suck when you think it is great does you a big favour. A friend who tells you it is great because it really is great, even when you think it sucks, is the most valuable of all as these are the people that really help you through even the hard times of running a business.

==== Unexpected costs ====
A tip for those considering starting a small business in SL: you face many unexpected costs.
For example:
# The cost of the time you spend making your product and doing business-related activities. (reduce this by working on something you enjoy, and don't forget the community you're selling to)
# The cost of the land you buy/rent for your vendors or business-related activities. (reduce this by getting free placement in malls where possible, and seeking out value for L$ in terms of exposure to good potential customers versus cost of the advertising)
# The cost of selling L$ on the Lindex or other currency exchange sites, to recoup any USD investment (currently 3.5% of value sold, IIRC).
# The cost of getting LL/PayPal/etc to let you withdraw the USD value of Lindens you sell (up to $15USD per withdrawal if you use LindeX).
# The cost of changing that USD back into your local currency (can be up to 5% in places, depending on your bank).
# The time cost of how long it takes you to get L$ back that you've put into SL - and if you can afford to have your RL money tied up in SL.

==== The top 10 ways to make sure you make L$ ====

# Pick wisely from your skills, talents, knowledge, friends and business contacts - use all together to make a product that fills a consumer need/want.
# Make it *popular* - general use items sell much better than niche items, unless you're SURE a niche is big enough to support your product *AND* that most people in the niche will and can buy it.
# Market your product the right way. NEVER SPAM ANYONE. Instead, put your product info in your profile and ask permission to advertise it in places/groups/IMs about related topics. Target your audience and market towards them in a way they find USEFUL, not annoying.
# Budget. Remember to translate your L$ profits/losses back into USD so you can see how much you're making *at most* - before fees as above are deducted.
# If in doubt, get more feedback from other people. Try to get feedback from multiple TYPES of people too - coders on your scripts, artists on your art, builders on your builds/textures, marketing people on your advertising, etc etc etc.
# Protect your product. Never give someone else enough information about the whole of your product/business that they could copy it and replicate your product themselves. Similarly, each industry is prone to a certain amount of illegal copying/piracy, which hurts creators in that industry. Consider how vulnerability your products are to copying, and if possible take steps to limit the risk of your products being pirated. You can give out free samples for advertising, and you can choose not to have copy-protection because many consumers are against it. Those are OK choices, but you should still be aware of the vulnerability of your product and *consider* what you can do to reduce the risk of piracy.
# Don't expect to EVER make a lot of USD playing SL. SL is not geared for that! Ignore the myths and the hype. IMHO, Second Life is best treated as a game - a place you pay a bit of money for some (unusually self-directed) entertainment. If you walk into Second Life on your first day thinking you can make your fortune here, you're far more likely to lose a fortune than make one!
SL is geared so you can make a bit of L$ doing something you enjoy. It's not geared to make mega-bucks unless you're prepared to invest mega-bucks and have mega-bucks worth of skill. For example : say the rate of return on your investment was 10%. You'd need to invest 1000 USD to make 100 USD. If you have 1000 USD at your fingertips, then there is really no need for you to take on risky investments in SL, because you're probably well off already in Real Life! If on the other hand you'd struggle to find even 100 USD, then you probably can't afford to take risk with that money - you can't afford to risk it all on a "get rich quick" scheme because you risk losing everything, and you can't afford to lose everything. So ... as a general rule, only invest in SL what you can afford to lose - and make sure you're doing it for your own enjoyment and education. Remember to balance what you have, what you can make, and what you risk/lose by making it. Remember that making a lot of USD in SL is hard (otherwise everyone would be doing it) and it takes serious thought/skill to do. If this fact bothers you, then remember that even playing SL itself is a luxury item (only 1% of the world's population own a computer). Again, it is usually best to make money with a RL job, and to spend some of it in SL. If you want to be a creator in SL, and get paid for your work, then remember: DON'T DO IT FOR THE MONEY. Do it because you love it (you'll do a better job *and* enjoy it more *and* get paid more that way) ... and don't expect to make money. Plan for the worst and hope for the best.
# Remember your friends and the community. They're INVALUABLE sources of feedback, people to beta-test your product, and so on.
# If it all goes down the pan, and you've tried hard at making something that makes L$ but it just doesn't work...... then release free, all-permissions copies of it to everyone who you think might be interested, so at the very least it helps them anyway and a future product might be made from it (and ... it'll help build your reputation).
# Remember, the best ways to make L$ depend on hard work, and investment of time, skill and L$. Making L$ isn't easy - if it was, again, everyone would already be doing it. It is, however, possible if you keep trying to do it the smart way - eventually, if you learn from your experience - you will hit upon an idea. If you don't... then that doesn't matter, because you've been sensible and remembered point #4 (Budget) - so you've kept your losses to a safe minimum that you can afford.

While these are suggestions were originally written for a Resident fashion business, they're good general advice if you retail in Second Life. Help keep this page updated!

== Inworld marketing ==

=== Free ===

* First of all, you need a main store or office. This can be something you rent, but you're likely going to want to own a reliable location if you're successful. This is the place you will send all your customers to through landmarks.
* Include landmarks with your items when you sell them. Referrals and repeat sales are big and ''free'' ways to gain loyal customers.
* Make an update or support group. Loyal customers will want to know when you put out something new, run an exclusive sale, or make special offers. Make sure to [[Inviting residents to join your business group|invite your visitors and customers to your group]].
* Make sure your [[Viewerhelp:About_Land_-_Options|parcel is listed in Viewer search]].
* Refine your searchable parcel details (name, description) and contents to obtain a higher position in search in a clean way, compliant with the [http://secondlife.com/corporate/tos.php ToS].
* List your business by joining [[Brands|the free business listings]]. Some directories have inworld browsing capabilities.

=== Paid ===
[[Image:SecondAdsWiki.png|right|Second Ads ad display board.]]
* Place an advert in the [http://www.secondads.com/ SecondAds.com] pay-per-click advertising network. This will display your advert grid wide in a huge number of locations. Visit their inworld [http://slurl.com/secondlife/Business%20Park/132/38/21/ Headquarters Adcenter] to learn more.
* Use traffic tools such as the [http://www.goldtokens.net Goldtokens.net] gaming network to bring traffic to your land. These are cheap and effective ways to bring people to visit your store or business.
* Make some great ads and place them in magazines (see the list below) — it's usually cheap.
* Rent small shops/offices in big clubs with lots of traffic but be smart about visibility and location. Location is everything here. People love to zoom out and window-shop with their cameras while their avatar is dancing the night away.
* Post a classified in Viewer search ([[Linden_Lab_Official:Classifieds_FAQ|learn how]]) with a high enough L$ amount to get you in the top five of your keywords (hat, accessory, and so on). With the right keywords, this can [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/in_spades pay off in spades].
* Use inworld ad-boards to publish your ads, a standalone one, or within a global network (like [http://www.slbiz2life.com/en/adfusion.html AdFusion adboards] or [http://www.mgk-advertisement.com MGK Advertisement]).
* [http://www.isnvirtualworlds.com ISN Virtual Worlds] offers "Extensive inworld experience, distribution and marketing management of virtual goods".
* [http://rezzme.com RezzMe Advertising] offers "Gridwide billboard network. We also create promotional items, graphic, and web development. Visit any of our billboards to setup your ad very easily."

This project also provides a lot of advertising services which will be useful for all business owners. This will boost your popularity in Google as well.
* Check out all the blogs for who you should send items to to get reviewed, and follow their contact policy.

Tons of people with L$ burning holes in their pockets read these reviews and are looking for high-quality things that they feel compelled buy.
* Use [http://slpano.com SLPano URLs] to publish your links on the web. The SLPano URL acts like a [[SLurl]] link, but allows you to specify a business descriptions, upload screenshots, and so on.

|description=I have been a resident in Second Life since Tue 22nd Mar 2005. I have spent most my time in world learning and trying to say that I specialise in one area gets tricky. I have specilisations within various areas but I have tried my hand at most things I have had a chance at.
My main skill (going on the custom work I am predominately asked about) would be scripting. Within scripting I concentrate on data management.
My General knowledge of Second Life enable me to fit most roles and I have an ability to optimise the majority of projects/events.

AmyNevilly Resident:

Advertising in Second Life

2012-07-27T02:26:15Z

AmyNevilly Resident: /* Advertising networks in Second Life */

{{Help|Community=*}}

== Introduction ==

It's important to understand that Linden Lab views Second Life as a platform and focuses its efforts on development and improvements of the platform. Exceptions like the [[LDPW|Linden Department of Public Works]] aside, we generally don't create content or services within Second Life.

This page contains suggestions of ways to use Second Life as an advertising medium, unofficially contributed to by Residents like you. {{TOCright}}

== Advertising approaches in SL ==

{{TOCright}}
=== Blog coverage ===

One way to advertise is by simply creating a presence in Second Life and publicizing it. Many Second Life Residents are active in [http://www.google.com/search?q=second+life+blog blogs] and other Internet activities. Many companies have found their activities in Second Life generate significant mentions in web and blog postings. You can also advertise on other people's blogs using [http://avatarads.net AvatarAds.net] or [http://junglebanner.com JungleBanner.com], which specialise in Second Life sites.

[[List_of_all_Second_Life_Groups_on_Flickr.com|Flickr]] images and [http://youtube.com YouTube] videos are additional ways to activate buzz from Second Life.

=== Presence in Second Life ===

Some companies have found success with an ongoing presence in Second Life and driving visitors though related or unrelated events — for example, technical talks (like Intel) or concerts. The key, as with a website, is to provide fresh content that gives Residents a reason to visit and interact with you. Others have created places with activities to engage Residents (like Vodaphone and Weather Channel).

As with other properties (whether web or real-world), to be successful you'll need to promote your presence and activity to the Second Life community through group notices, event notices, articles and ads in Second Life related periodicals, or any other means appropriate.

=== Advertising networks in Second Life ===

There are a [[Advertising Networks|number of businesses that have built distributed advertising systems]] in Second Life, so you can pay by location and time to have your ad displayed. Some of the systems offer pay-per-click payments instead of time.

=== Active advertising in Second Life ===

The most difficult, but probably the most rewarding in the long-term, is to create an active presence in Second Life that drives the message or experience you're trying to promote for your product or brand. If it's a product, you can script ways for people to interact with the Second Life version of the product.

For example, while avatars don't need to eat or drink, if your product was a soft drink, you could provide a script that had people laugh and dance around whenever they took a "virtual" drink. You could also provide a hat with your logo which people could give to others, creating viral distribution of your brand. The hat could be scripted so giving it to someone opened a website or a Second Life notecard with more information about the product, or a coupon for a discount on the product.

{{KBtip|Keep in mind that advertising-focused items with practical usefulness are more effective in the long-term than "made you smile once, then got boring"-type novelties.}}

=== Pure traffic generation tools in Second Life ===

Sometimes the best way to advertise your brand is to simply bring people to your land and get them to experience what you have to offer once they get there. There are a number of traffic tools providers in Second Life such as the [http://www.goldtokens.net/ Goldtokens.net] gaming network that bring visitors to your land in order to experience fun gaming content. The theory goes that it's much easier to do marketing to people while on land you own than on someone else's land.

=== Distributed advertising in Second Life ===

There are many popular venues in Second Life, from malls to clubs. Many of them will put up posters or kiosks that can distribute information, links, objects, or provide teleports to the sponsoring location for a small fee.

=== Person-to-person advertising ===

Several companies has been very successful in using avatars as a promotional vehicle. Avatars engage people in conversation and offer links to websites, coupons, or other direct followup actions. Some companies offer camping solutions at a per-lead cost.

It has been comparable or lower in cost than other media. {{red|source?}} The quality of leads is questionable as the effectiveness of using static camping chairs as the primary driver for Residents provides only small amounts of Linden Dollars (L$) as the draw for participation. [http://www.virtualworldsnews.com/2007/08/order-of-the-ph.html Imax] was reportedly successful with this approach.

An expanded form of person-to-person advertising can take the form of brand personification, whereas brand icons or personalities are realized in Second Life for engagement with Residents. An example of this would be [http://theslagency.com/casestudies/Case%20Study%20-%20Nesquik.pdf Nestle Nesquik], where the Nesquik Bunny Avatar entered Second Life and attended a variety of events.

=== Media in Second Life ===

Every parcel in Second Life can incorporate media, including [[Shared Media]] audio and video streams.

You will need a reason to do that — good content, or payment, as well as publicizing your stream so Residents know about it. In addition, there are radio and TV stations in Second Life which provide streaming broadcasts. These streams can incorporate advertising, as radio and TV do in real life.

Marketing Your Products In Second Life

2012-05-20T14:56:49Z

AmyNevilly Resident: /* Paid */

{{TOCright}}
While these are suggestions were originally written for a Resident fashion business, they're good general advice if you retail in Second Life. Help keep this page updated!

== Inworld marketing ==

=== Free ===

* First of all, you need a main store or office. This can be something you rent, but you're likely going to want to own a reliable location if you're successful. This is the place you will send all your customers to through landmarks.
* Include landmarks with your items when you sell them. Referrals and repeat sales are big and ''free'' ways to gain loyal customers.
* Make an update or support group. Loyal customers will want to know when you put out something new, run an exclusive sale, or make special offers. Make sure to [[Inviting residents to join your business group|invite your visitors and customers to your group]].
* Make sure your [[Viewerhelp:About_Land_-_Options|parcel is listed in Viewer search]].
* Refine your searchable parcel details (name, description) and contents to obtain a higher position in search in a clean way, compliant with the [http://secondlife.com/corporate/tos.php ToS].
* List your business by joining [[Brands|the free business listings]]. Some directories have inworld browsing capabilities.

=== Paid ===
[[Image:Second-Ads-Ad-display.JPG|right|Second Ads ad display board.]]
* Place an advert in the [http://www.secondads.com/ SecondAds.com] pay-per-click advertising network. This will display your advert grid wide in a huge number of locations. Visit their inworld [http://slurl.com/secondlife/Business%20Park/132/38/21/ Headquarters Adcenter] to learn more.
* Use traffic tools such as the [http://www.goldtokens.net Goldtokens.net] gaming network to bring traffic to your land. These are cheap and effective ways to bring people to visit your store or business.
* Make some great ads and place them in magazines (see the list below) — it's usually cheap.
* Rent small shops/offices in big clubs with lots of traffic but be smart about visibility and location. Location is everything here. People love to zoom out and window-shop with their cameras while their avatar is dancing the night away.
* Post a classified in Viewer search ([[Linden_Lab_Official:Classifieds_FAQ|learn how]]) with a high enough L$ amount to get you in the top five of your keywords (hat, accessory, and so on). With the right keywords, this can [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/in_spades pay off in spades].
* Use inworld ad-boards to publish your ads, a standalone one, or within a global network (like [http://www.slbiz2life.com/en/adfusion.html AdFusion adboards] or [http://www.mgk-advertisement.com MGK Advertisement]).
* [http://www.isnvirtualworlds.com ISN Virtual Worlds] offers "Extensive inworld experience, distribution and marketing management of virtual goods".
* [http://rezzme.com RezzMe Advertising] offers "Gridwide billboard network. We also create promotional items, graphic, and web development. Visit any of our billboards to setup your ad very easily."

== Web and online marketing ==

=== Free ===

As 100% of your customers use the Internet, spread quality information about your goods and services all over the Net.

* Register your business in [http://www.slbiz2life.com SL Business Directory], a ''free'' listing of Second Life business. Upload images and provide the description of your business. This project also provides a lot of advertising services which will be useful for all business owners. This will boost your popularity in Google as well.
* Check out all the blogs for who you should send items to to get reviewed, and follow their contact policy. The usual process is: you simply drop a notecard with your info and some items on a reviewer Resident. Tons of people with L$ burning holes in their pockets read these reviews and are looking for high-quality things that they feel compelled buy.
* Use [http://slpano.com SLPano URLs] to publish your links on the web. The SLPano URL acts like a [[SLurl]] link, but allows you to specify a business descriptions, upload screenshots, and so on.

=== Paid ===

* Advertise your shop location on [http://www.yosims.com/ YoSims]. Motivate others to review your post so that you get a good ranking.
* Advertise your products or services in [http://www.role-magazine.com ROLE Magazine] and benefit from "their commitment to actual, verifiable readership statistics".
* Advertise your products or services in [http://www.sluncover.com Uncover Magazine] which is published in English, German, and French.
* Advertise your products or services in [http://www.thebosl.com/ Best of SL Magazine].
* Advertise items for roleplayers in RRM [http://reigningrealmsmonthly.webs.com Reigning Realms Monthly].
* Advertise your business on [http://rezzme.com RezzMe Advertising].
* Advertise your business on [http://www.glance-international.com GLANCE Magazine].

Advertising in Second Life

AmyNevilly Resident: /* Advertising networks in Second Life */

{{Help|Community=*}}

== Introduction ==

It's important to understand that Linden Lab views Second Life as a platform and focuses its efforts on development and improvements of the platform. Exceptions like the [[LDPW|Linden Department of Public Works]] aside, we generally don't create content or services within Second Life.

This page contains suggestions of ways to use Second Life as an advertising medium, unofficially contributed to by Residents like you. {{TOCright}}

== Advertising approaches in SL ==

{{TOCright}}
=== Blog coverage ===

One way to advertise is by simply creating a presence in Second Life and publicizing it. Many Second Life Residents are active in [http://www.google.com/search?q=second+life+blog blogs] and other Internet activities. Many companies have found their activities in Second Life generate significant mentions in web and blog postings. You can also advertise on other people's blogs using [http://avatarads.net AvatarAds.net] or [http://junglebanner.com JungleBanner.com], which specialise in Second Life sites.

[[List_of_all_Second_Life_Groups_on_Flickr.com|Flickr]] images and [http://youtube.com YouTube] videos are additional ways to activate buzz from Second Life.

=== Presence in Second Life ===

Some companies have found success with an ongoing presence in Second Life and driving visitors though related or unrelated events — for example, technical talks (like Intel) or concerts. The key, as with a website, is to provide fresh content that gives Residents a reason to visit and interact with you. Others have created places with activities to engage Residents (like Vodaphone and Weather Channel).

As with other properties (whether web or real-world), to be successful you'll need to promote your presence and activity to the Second Life community through group notices, event notices, articles and ads in Second Life related periodicals, or any other means appropriate.

=== Advertising networks in Second Life ===

There are a [[Advertising Networks|number of businesses that have built distributed advertising systems]] in Second Life, so you can pay by location and time to have your ad displayed. Some of the systems offer pay-per-click payments instead of time.

=== Active advertising in Second Life ===

The most difficult, but probably the most rewarding in the long-term, is to create an active presence in Second Life that drives the message or experience you're trying to promote for your product or brand. If it's a product, you can script ways for people to interact with the Second Life version of the product.

For example, while avatars don't need to eat or drink, if your product was a soft drink, you could provide a script that had people laugh and dance around whenever they took a "virtual" drink. You could also provide a hat with your logo which people could give to others, creating viral distribution of your brand. The hat could be scripted so giving it to someone opened a website or a Second Life notecard with more information about the product, or a coupon for a discount on the product.

{{KBtip|Keep in mind that advertising-focused items with practical usefulness are more effective in the long-term than "made you smile once, then got boring"-type novelties.}}

=== Pure traffic generation tools in Second Life ===

Sometimes the best way to advertise your brand is to simply bring people to your land and get them to experience what you have to offer once they get there. There are a number of traffic tools providers in Second Life such as the [http://www.goldtokens.net/ Goldtokens.net] gaming network that bring visitors to your land in order to experience fun gaming content. The theory goes that it's much easier to do marketing to people while on land you own than on someone else's land.

=== Distributed advertising in Second Life ===

There are many popular venues in Second Life, from malls to clubs. Many of them will put up posters or kiosks that can distribute information, links, objects, or provide teleports to the sponsoring location for a small fee.

=== Person-to-person advertising ===

Several companies has been very successful in using avatars as a promotional vehicle. Avatars engage people in conversation and offer links to websites, coupons, or other direct followup actions. Some companies offer camping solutions at a per-lead cost.

It has been comparable or lower in cost than other media. {{red|source?}} The quality of leads is questionable as the effectiveness of using static camping chairs as the primary driver for Residents provides only small amounts of Linden Dollars (L$) as the draw for participation. [http://www.virtualworldsnews.com/2007/08/order-of-the-ph.html Imax] was reportedly successful with this approach.

In contrary to the passive camping, a new kind of active advertising is available ([http://www.news2life.com/process/news.html?id=71 "New Program Guarantees Visitors to Your Business"]).

An expanded form of person-to-person advertising can take the form of brand personification, whereas brand icons or personalities are realized in Second Life for engagement with Residents. An example of this would be [http://theslagency.com/casestudies/Case%20Study%20-%20Nesquik.pdf Nestle Nesquik], where the Nesquik Bunny Avatar entered Second Life and attended a variety of events.

=== Media in Second Life ===

Every parcel in Second Life can incorporate media, including [[Shared Media]] audio and video streams.

You will need a reason to do that — good content, or payment, as well as publicizing your stream so Residents know about it. In addition, there are radio and TV stations in Second Life which provide streaming broadcasts. These streams can incorporate advertising, as radio and TV do in real life.

AmyNevilly Resident: /* Paid */

{{TOCright}}
While these are suggestions were originally written for a Resident fashion business, they're good general advice if you retail in Second Life. Help keep this page updated!

== Inworld marketing ==

* Include landmarks with your items when you sell them. Referrals and repeat sales are big and ''free'' ways to gain loyal customers.
* Make an update or support group. Loyal customers will want to know when you put out something new, run an exclusive sale, or make special offers. Make sure to [[Inviting residents to join your business group|invite your visitors and customers to your group]].
* Make sure your [[Viewerhelp:About_Land_-_Options|parcel is listed in Viewer search]].

* Make some great ads and place them in magazines (see the list below) — it's usually cheap.
* Rent small shops/offices in big clubs with lots of traffic but be smart about visibility and location. Location is everything here. People love to zoom out and window-shop with their cameras while their avatar is dancing the night away.
* Post a classified in Viewer search ([[Linden_Lab_Official:Classifieds_FAQ|learn how]]) with a high enough L$ amount to get you in the top five of your keywords (hat, accessory, and so on). With the right keywords, this can [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/in_spades pay off in spades].
* Use inworld ad-boards to publish your ads, a standalone one, or within a global network (like [http://www.slbiz2life.com/en/adfusion.html AdFusion adboards] or [http://www.mgk-advertisement.com MGK Advertisement]).
* [http://www.isnvirtualworlds.com ISN Virtual Worlds] offers "Extensive inworld experience, distribution and marketing management of virtual goods".
* [http://rezzme.com RezzMe Advertising] offers "Gridwide billboard network. We also create promotional items, graphic, and web development. Visit any of our billboards to setup your ad very easily."

This project also provides a lot of advertising services which will be useful for all business owners. This will boost your popularity in Google as well.
* Check out all the blogs for who you should send items to to get reviewed, and follow their contact policy. The usual process is: you simply drop a notecard with your info and some items on a reviewer Resident. Tons of people with L$ burning holes in their pockets read these reviews and are looking for high-quality things that they feel compelled buy.
* Use [http://slpano.com SLPano URLs] to publish your links on the web. The SLPano URL acts like a [[SLurl]] link, but allows you to specify a business descriptions, upload screenshots, and so on.

=== Paid ===

* Advertise your shop location on [http://www.yosims.com/ YoSims]. Motivate others to review your post so that you get a good ranking.
