I have heard that people are making money on SecondLife, and even set up businesses around the site and I am fairly new to it all...How is this done? Any ideas? Thanks http://www.InternetTVPro.com - http://www.MadAboutArcadeGames.com - http://www.MadAboutMySpace.com |

Yes some people do make money in Second life, just like some people do make money in pyrimid schemes. To make money in SL you will have to invest money, at least thats what they want you to think. If you really want to start your own business it would be far smarter to start a ebay store rather then try to make a business in second life, because in second life there are many many more failures for every half a succus. I got hooked into SL for a while and decided to try to make some money, I had a decent shop, I won't deny that I was making profit, but the problem was the profit averaged out to about $2.50 per hour in time I spent modeling or texturing something. So while it is possible to make money in SL, if the sole reason you sign up is to make money you will be sadily disapointed. |

It's not tax free. You'll actually have to write it on your 1040.

I really hate it when people say why invest in something in RL? Reason is it's too damn expensive. In SL you don't have to buy an island to succeed, in reality you really don't have to invest very little money at all. When I first started out paying $15 / month for land. I haven't looked back since. It's not easy and not for everyone. It's like the real world how are you going to get noticed? Like on Ebay how are you going to get noticed from the millions of sellers?

Tax free? HA! Look up Ansche Chung. The IRS is after her because she earned a couple million with real estate (she was a pioneer so don't even think you can match her, everyone is trying it now) The point is she isn't even a U.S. citizen but since the servers are in the US the IRS is going after her anyways.

By my calcualting if u make $2.50 per hour , adn there is 24 hrs in a day . you just made $60 per day . there is 365 days therefore u just made $21.9 grand per year.
