Too bad we have to be 18 years to join instead of 13. Now I’ll have to wait 5 years to get started, and by then I’ll be out in the streets

Hi.. Im a second life content creator and member. Figured I’d take a stab at answering some questions from my view point.
Ive been in Second Life for nearly two years… when I started I was a noob with nothing… stopping by money trees and learned really quickly that wasnt the way to go for me. I had been running a Internet Radio station for a couple years previous and found quickly that it was a tiny leap to DJing Virtually in clubs inside SL using my exsisting hobby. at first I averaged between 1k and 3K Lindens per week for a few shifts of live DJing, which was pretty fun, but required a schedule. I continued DJing for over a year, using my lindens to pay for things like virtual clothing, DJ stations, Stream control huds and even paid for my stream server service within SL with the lindens I was earning.. I was turning a meager lil profit but fun none the less.. While doing this I started learning the bones of content creation. From basic prim manipulation and texture behavior to Sculpty/Mesh Modelling both inworld and when offline. I know own a few stores under the brand name, “Darkly Neko” where I make Neko/Feline related Wearables, Furniture and other unique detailed and sometimes even custom item and content. Sales have been hurt by the horrid economy, but I still get some sales… Some months I do ok.. some not so much… but in the end.. I do it, because I love CREATING and am far less restricted in my ability to create virtually then I could EVER do in Reality. My tails, ears and other products arent just products, they are my works of art… my stores… they are my gallery… and if I never sell another virtual object.. I will keep on making them.. and thats the main reason the economy still moves inside SL. We actually enjoy it.
Thanks for reading and apologize for the lengthiness of the post.

…then there are sites like http://AltPlayers.com that can make you 5000L$ in a week. good to get you started in SL anyway.

i tried earn2life.com but the interface was buggy and I centainly dont want to use my viewer ALL the time to make 5L$ to visit different boring areas for 10 mins -.- ho hum

nice article on Second Life. I believe second life is still alive and very much seto to grow . after the initial hype anyway.
The only thing keeping second life from growing is linden labs and their crappy support. oh they also hate 3rd party vendors and sites like VirWox.com that are running business out of SL without cutting them in.
