Who doesn’t? First Opinions Panel has been very consistent in paying their members whether it be for their participation in surveys or for referring new people. Just recently, I received another 1,000L$ from First Opinions Panel through Andy Evans as payment for referring 10 people who all signed up with my referral link. Again I would like to thank everyone who signed up with First Opinions Panel through my referral link and of course to Andy Evans and First Opinions Panel for helping residents, like me, earn Linden Dollars through their program.

You too will love First Opinions Panel and if you are not yet a member then I urge you to sign up with them today!

Registration is open to all Second Life residents and if you are not yet a resident then hurry and register an account at SecondLife.com.

I found the site while browsing through the pages of Second Life’s Official Forum and if I understand the post correctly, you’ll be paid with Linden Dollars if you add an article but only if the article gets approved and the article doesn’t even need to be original.

I visited the site, registered and I received 1 SL Coin afterwards. According to their conversion rate, 1 SL Coin equals 1 Linden Dollars, and that you’ll get 1 SL Coin at every login with an interval of 120 minutes per login. Referring new users will give you 2 SL Coins and adding new articles will give you 1 SL Coin. When you reach 50 SL Coin, you can exchange that to Linden Dollars by clicking a link that will send the request to the Webmaster.

I also noticed that their article submission system can be gamed and easily abused. Try submitting a hundred camping locations and see if they’ll award you with SL Coins for each location you submit. If they do then that’s easy money.

If you feel that it’s worth a try then sign up at SLFastWay.com.

The best thing about First Opinions Panel is that they never forget to pay up. Last December 2, 2007 I received an instant message from Andy Evans informing me that 11 people signed up with my referral link and that I was paid 1,100L$ for it. Again, thanks to Andy Evans of First Opinions Panel and thanks to everyone that signed up using my referral link.

To learn more about First Opinions Panel view my post about them here.

Regarding the surveys, well I don’t get invited that much but I still earn some Linden Dollars from First Opinions Panel.

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.
