in Second Life
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

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.
TAX FREE OMG TAX FREE.

lol i want to try this game
Can I build something without having to pay anything???
well, not to get your hopes up, but i did hear that i girl made a good income on selling land or something like that.
like everyone else here says, i dont think its an easy task, you have to put many hours and it will probobly take months/years before its any kind of payoff..
easier way would be to play Project entropia.. but then again, if you dont grind this sci-fi mmo or your not any good, you will still bite the dust.
either way, if you dont have work IRL and are able to play 24/7, maybe you can have an income in an mmo..
over and out

This game sucks, I wouldn't even bother with it let alone play it.
However in order to make money you need to be willing to invest money
Set up business and sell your product, then exchange the linden money for real money.
1 you can buy cheap linden from others, one of my friends has buy lot of L$, he said its realy cheap
the site is gpkoo,com (doesn't mean to ad,if this break the rule plz delete it)
2 another way: buy a full guide with 9 $ (cost 9$ 5 month ago) from ebay.and the guide will tell u how to do everything in SL,
then you would be rich since you are a master already
Hey,
Well everyone knows it takes months and months to build up wealth on this game, but after you have achieved the goal of Wealthiness and great deals of land such as clubs big houses etc...it can pay off. As mentioned in an earlier post a young lady in another forum made a solid living from selling land that she had worked for.
As for buying a SL manual on ebay, that is a no go area. Just experiment with the game the more you learn independantly the easier it will become later on. That way you remember and dont have to keep referring to your 'How To' Manual. Whilst a lot of people try and make some sort of living out of the game there are others who simply play it for fun.
Well Hope This Helps

There are basically two ways to make money in SL: content creation (building things) and the landmarket. Many imagine they will run a club or something, but it doesn't work that way. Unlike an RL club you can't charge for drinks or entrance fees. You might break even by subletting parts of your club to vendors, but that's it.
A successful content creator can make a good living from SL, there are even a few that has gotten rich from it. It doesn't require any initial investment either. But what people tend to forget is that it's an artistic profession. And just like being a musician, author or actor, only a tiny minority will ever make serious money from it. For every success story in SL, there are a hundred shops who barely make enough to pay for rent. Not everyone can have a hit record.
But if you're artistically talented and prepared to devote your life to 3D graphics, it's a viable career.
The landmarket is another way. Everyone tries to be Anshe Chung after she got famous, but the reality of it is that it requires large investments, have small returns and carries huge risks. To make any serious money from it you'd have to own land worth tens of thousands of dollars (if not hundreds), and the market tends to crash every time LL releases new servers. Open source servers are also on the horizon.
I don't want to sound to negative, I love SL, and the money making opportunities are very real. But all the media hype has made a huge amount of people come to SL thinking it's "easy money". They don't bother to learn the tools or understand the market, they just put up a shop selling crap they put together in five minutes or stole somewhere. Then cry "SL is a pyramid scheme" when they fail due to their own incompetence.
Know the truth is somewhere in between. It's going to be very hard work, but it is possible.
