This article explains how to fulfill the two-project requirement needed to apply for the Linden Lab Solution Provider Program. All Solution Provider Program members are required to have completed at least two projects. A project is defined as a product or service provided to a client (paid or unpaid), and can also depend on whether you're listed as full-service or specialist.
How to get experience as a solution provider
If you don't meet the two-project requirement, the following are some guidelines intended to help you obtain the experience needed to meet them:
- Create: Start designing clothes, constructing buildings, managing events, developing tools, or completing projects in whatever other areas you're interested.
- Organize: Develop a portfolio that best represents your work.
- Advertise: List the products and/or services you provide on the inworld classifieds. See the Classifieds FAQ for more information on how to post an ad.
- Search: There are two things you can try:
- Check out the inworld classifieds for Residents seeking someone to help with a project that fits your skillset.
- Search the Solution Provider Directory for companies and individuals with projects or a business focus that interests you, and which you believe would benefit from your skills, and contact them.
- Collaborate: Work with fellow Residents and solution providers on projects. Before you know it, you'll have two client projects to your name!
- Apply: Once you've completed two projects for clients, submit your application for inclusion in the solution provider program.
