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.

Back at Sony & BMG Island, there is an avatar named Connor Tomorrow which was a Survey Bot for SL (Second Life) Reasearch Group. It was conducting a survey on Real Life brands and in that particular case the brand was Sony & BMG. Those who’ll take the survey will be eligible to a draw where a total of 25,000L$ will be given away.

Taking the survey was easy, you just need to send an Instant Message to Connor Tomorrow and say SURVEY (all caps). It will activate him and he will give you all the details regarding the survey like who is conducting it and the breakdown of prizes.

25,000L$ is very encouraging so I took the survey and it only took a couple of minutes. It basically just asked questions about Sony & BMG, it’s artist, the island, etc. So, it wouldn’t be so difficult and I might even win some linden dollars from it.

I also searched for SL Research Group and they do exist. I even visited their in-world office.

There was really nothing to see there but at least I’ll know where to check if I’ve won or not. LOL!

If you are not doing anything important then why not take this survey. It’ll only take a few minutes of your Second Life and it’ll give you a chance to win some big bucks. Not only that, surveys like these are used by real life businesses to gauge how good or bad their service or brand is and hopefully improves it. Goodluck!

Update: It is different from First Opinions Panel, Reperes-Second Life and MTL because it does not require you to join their research panel and the survey is conducted in-world through instant messages.

The survey bot Connor Tomorrow is located at Sony & BMG Island, Media (113, 113, 21).

Reperes-Second Life is again sending out survey invites to their members. Their latest survey which I received a few days ago is worth 700L$.

Hey! That’s a lot of linden dollars for a spending a few minutes of your gaming time answering a simple survey and the best thing about it is that you don’t have to login to answer them. You complete these surveys from your browsers but you get paid with linden dollars in-world.

Don’t miss this kind of earning opportunity. If you are not yet a member of Reperes-Second Life then just visit 3 Stars and a Sun in-world and click the Reperes-Second Life banner to register.

Recently, Andy Evans of First Opinions Panel sent an e-mail informing affiliates about their new payment problem but assured everyone that affiliates will be paid once the problem is corrected.

Checking my e-mail today, I received a message from Andy Evans informing me that 7 new people signed up using my referral link and that I was paid 700L$ for it. Again, thank you very much to First Opinions Panel and to everyone who signed up with First Opinions Panel using my referral link. I guess they’ve resolved their payment problems.

Most of the linden dollars I earn from programs like First Opinions Panel, Reperes-Second Life, Earn2Life and others are use to keep my place, 3 Stars and Sun, at Scaramanga (80, 232, 66) and just recently, I used some of the linden dollars I earned to pay for my web hosting with Bluehost. Also, if I continue to earn more linden dollars then I’ll sponsor more contest like this weeks Top Commentator contest where anyone (with a Second Life account) can join and win some linden dollars.
