賺錢

This page includes a helpful compilation of unofficial guides about HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN SECOND LIFE.

Got your attention? Great...

免責聲明： like "real life", there are more opportunities than can possibly be summarized. There's no such thing as a single formula that works for everyone, but certainly actions worth doing and learning from. Also, unless otherwise stated, these resources are not approved by Linden Lab. We can't guarantee they'll work for your personal experiences and aren't responsible for any risks — if you have success, great! Be sure to thank the guide author(s), and consider sharing your own tips.

Please improve this page with guides you've actually found useful, but don't add any spams/scams/splogs or vague lists without applicable advice; they aren't welcome.

賺 Linden 幣的方式

Linden 幣 (L$) 是 Second Life 的貨幣，而真實世界中的錢可以兌換成 L$ (繼續讀下去！)。

以下是在 Second Life 中比較熱門的幾個 (但絕不是唯一) 賺錢方法：

• 每週收到特級帳戶 (Premium Account) 的津貼 (Stipend) - 詳細資訊
• 在 LindeX 購買 L$
• 工作 - 工作種類非常多樣，包括：
  • 買賣土地 - 虛擬房地產事業
  • 創造與販賣創意內容 - 例如服裝、工具等
  • 參與其他賣家的加盟計畫 (Affiliate Program) - 請先確認計畫是否合法
  • 主持活動，或在活動中表演 - 例如遊戲展、搖滾演唱會等等
  • 販賣資訊 - 撰寫/校對手冊、提供諮詢服務、授課 — Torley 就做過這種工作
• 在活動中贏得獎項 - 玩遊戲、試試自己的手氣等等
• 填寫問卷 (Survey) - 請先確認問卷是否合法
• 坐在野營椅 (Camping Chair) 上 (一般而言，這是種緩慢、沒效率，而且幾乎是只賠不賺的事)

簡單來說，Second Life 中賺錢方法的深度與廣度跟真實世界不相上下，搞不好比真實世界還要多樣化，因為許多東西 (例如建築材料) 在 Second Life 比較便宜 (基本幾何體是免費的！)。尋找賺錢機會的基本原則就是：找出尚未得到滿足的渴望與需求，然後滿足它們！如果您已經在真實世界中從事或學會有用的技能，就有可能利用它們在 Second Life 中賺錢，因為您的能力是可以轉移到 Second Life 中的。舉例來說，如果您在現實生活中是學美術的，那就試試繪製衣服吧！

此外，有越來越多知名的「真實世界」公司 (例如我們某些解決方案供應商) 在 Second Life 中提供職缺，例如社群管理員、虛擬世界傳教士等等。多多留意那些在 Second Life 的獨特工作機會，而且別忘了，您在 Second Life 中學到的技能，說不定在真實世界中也很有用。

請記住：Second Life 就跟 Soylent Green 一樣，都是用「真實的人類」做成的！！！

LindeX

如果您只想得 L$ 但卻不想工作，可以利用 LindeX 貨幣兌換中心 將真實世界的貨幣，例如美金 (US$) 兌換成 Linden 幣 (L$)。這方法能讓您快速獲得自己想要的東西，例如土地或商品等。但請注意，在此兌換貨幣有某些付款及交易的限制。

我 (Torley) 注意到有些 Second Life 的新居民似乎沒有注意到這些限制，所以為了保障您的權益在此提醒您。

Q&A

Do you need a job?

Unless the human behind your avatar is seeking substantial work, you don't need one. Work in SL is a personal question of your professional aspirations.

Your Second Life should be enjoyable. Like first life, slaving away at a job is not fun.

Making money (earning L$ which can be exchanged for real cash) should never be the sole reason why you want a job. Do it for the experience! For example, if you're hosting events, you can make new friends and visit cool new builds.

Explore the world, go on adventures, and intuitively followup on what you especially delight in!

The money is nice, yes, but never the only thing that matters.

That's true of both serious full-time (i.e., corporate) jobs in SL and occupations that are taken up for fun.

What about games?

Second Life contains games. However, to call it a game on the whole is as inaccurate as saying "the rainbow is red".

Most of the skills you learn in Second Life are real. For example, to usually build a house, you don't just click a button and watch your avatar auto-construct a dwelling. Rather, you use prims to assemble it piece by piece. There are tools which make building easier, but the point is: you aren't artificially "leveling up".

Some Residents have created gaming experiences, such as RezTown, that are similar to other environments like The Sims and World of Warcraft. If you're familiar with those, then you may find comfort in those activities. And when you're ready to expand, you can explore far beyond that — it's a testament to the possibilities of your Second Life.

Are there scams?

Yes, people's first-life greed bleeds into SL too.

DON'T grant permissions to suspicious objects (a yellow dialog box comes up warning you beforehand).

DON'T get swindled by get-rich-quick schemes. Like the old saying goes, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

DON'T give out your password if someone promises they'll login and fill your account with L$. That's just dumb!

For more tips, see "Safeguarding your account and protecting your password".

Myths

Stuff is so expensive

Be specific. There are 1,000s of freebies, some of them extremely high-quality. Infact, "free" is one of the most popular search terms. So search around, and you know what? Compile a list and share it around, that'll win you good vibe points. Even better, learn to create stuff to fulfill your needs. Need help? Feel the warmth of a Volunteer helper!

Pursue related opportunities. I <3 when Second Life blogs report on inworld deals, but haven't seen a dedicated "SL deals" site yet. Perhaps you should examine the success of real-world sites like Dealnews and DealsPlus. (BTW, they're excellent ways to save money on computer parts, something to think about for a better Second Life experience.)

Also: consider helping creators beta-test products. This can be a good way for you to get stuff for free, or even some L$ if they're offering a job you both agree to. Don't count on it tho, and don't be a moocher — lazy beggars suck in all lives.

Generally, many products are at a fair price, and paying for them is a righteous way to compensate the creator for their time & energy. Even better, if you buy something you enjoy, send them a personal "Thank-you!" and let them know specifically what delighted you.

It's too hard to do anything

Only if you don't trust yourself. Without hands-on experience, you'll never know. So dive in!

I doubted my building abilities early on when I shouldn't have. I kept saying "I can't build!" without doing so. By applying myself each day, I eventually was able to teach 1,000s of Residents how to build. Second Life opened me up to many creative possibilities that had been untapped before. But like I said, don't go for the L$ alone. "Wealth" in healthy lives goes far beyond money (and can indeed, help you make more money!).

What you're willing to do says a lot about you.
