I first registered with Metaverse Exchange last April 18, 2009 but only started listing my items last September 13, 2009. Since then I have only sold 2 items and both of these items are for FREE and because they were FREE these two sales don’t count. Yesterday, I have made my first REAL sale with Metaverse Exchange. A resident bought a copy of my Merry Christmas Shirts for 124L$. Deducting Metaverse Exchange’s commission of 5% per sale, I received a net of 118L$. Woohoo!

A few days ago, I also made my first sale with SLOpenMarket. I registered with SLOpenMarket a week or two ago and listed one item. Just a few days ago, this item got sold already which motivated me to list more items. Currently, I have 8 items listed in SLOpenMarket and these are all Christmas related items (Christmas Shirts and Christmas Themed Custom Fishing Rods).

As of this writing, that’s the number of avatars or Second Life residents registered in PikkuBot’s database. Now, what the heck is PikkuBot? I just found out about it today while searching for Second Life Bots. To be blunt:

PikkuBot is a Bot for Second Life. You can use it e.g. to earn money on Second Life camping chairs.

Well, that is how it is described in it’s website and I guess that’s the best definition for it since it is really a bot used for camping to earn money in Second Life. LOL!

Most people will say that bots are just good for camping. Well, they are indeed good for camping but, come on, be creative. There are other things you can do with an SL Bot and I found out about it when I attended Thoys Pan SL Bot Owners Meeting. The meeting isn’t really a meeting but it was like a show and tell kind of a meeting. SL Bot owners came to, well, show off their bots and there was a contest too for the most original bot. The prize was 1,000L$ or a new registered bot to your name.

I know there are many SL Bot owners in Second Life and many of them are land owners or estate owners too. Yeah, you heard that right, land owners. They use bots to camp on their own land to increase traffic. I’m not sure if I had mentioned this somewhere but I once encountered a resident who told me that he was buying 100 bots and he will use them to increase his land traffic and then sell it at a higher price. Well, that’s one thing bots can do for you. Is there anything else?

Well, at the meeting, I took the opportunity to browse around Thoys Pan’s office and there were signs inside his building showing some of the things what an SL Bot can do for you (see photos). [...continue reading Things an SL Bot can do for you!]

Yes, you can make real money in Second Life. How? By earning linden dollars in-world. For those unfamiliar to Second Life, linden dollars, the in-world currency of Second Life, can be exchanged to US Dollars and vice versa and if you earn enough linden dollars in-world you can exchange it to US Dollars and withdraw it through PayPal or have it delivered to you in a check.

How do you earn linden dollars? Well, you can start by reading my post, Easy Ways to Earn Linden Dollars in Second Life. It does not list all the ways of earning linden dollars but it does list the easy ones like:

• camping
• completing offers
• joining survey groups
• joining contests
• getting a job
• becoming a creator

Now, once you have more than enough linden dollars you can venture to other ways of earning them like starting a business, investing in stock exchanges, providing and offering specialized services, etc. These will earn you more linden dollars but they’re not that easy to do and a certain amount of risk is involve in them. Examples are investing in Stock Exchanges and depositing in Virtual Banks because these businesses can, at anytime, close shop and run away with your hard earn linden dollars. (Update: Banks are no longer allowed in Second Life)

Anyway, you can absolutely make money in Second Life. If you wish to learn more ways then I suggest that you join the many business groups in Second Life. Most of these groups are free to join and once you are in, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Many of them are more than willing to help you.

You can also check out Second Life Linden Dollars Guide, a 95 page eBook on making money in Second Life. Remember that there are Easy Ways to Earn Linden Dollars in Second Life.

I love freebies, who doesn’t? For a newbie, freebies or free items are a great help to get them started with their Second Life and the best way to find great freebies is to join freebie related groups. One of those great freebies group is *Sarah Nerd’s FREEBIE FREAKS!. Personally, I don’t know who Sarah Nerd is but I hear her name almost all the time so I guess she is a very popular personality in Second Life but who Sarah Nerd is, is not our topic, our topic is her amazing freebies group.

I’ve received so many great freebies from this group that I can no longer remember all of them but one freebie that I can’t forget is a male skin which I bought for 50L$ but was given away by this group for free. Aw, I can’t forget it because I spent 50L$ for it. LOL!

Recently, Misteri Writer announced to the group that he is closing his business and he is selling his products for 1L$. He even attached the bigger ones for free. (See Photo)

My only complaint about Misteri Writer’s package was they are copyable and transferable which is easily open to abuse by greedy residents. How? They’ll resell it at a price higher than 0L$. Aw! I guess that’s no longer his problem if someone resells the items in the package for profit.

Just recently, Sarah released to the group one of her hairs for free.

And a few days earlier she released one of her “nifty fifty” hairs. Arrgghh! It was also for women.

So, if you are looking for a great group for freebies then I strongly suggest that you join *Sarah Nerd’s FREEBIE FREAKS! Newbies should definitely join this group!
