Just a quick post about Second Life. I chatted with my father some today about how he is coming with his socializing and money making in Second life, and it turns out he says he’s making about US$100 / month … AND having a lot of fun at the same time. Besides the dancing and camping, he is now starting to rent out a little land, and has some ideas for starting a new club. $100 per month is not really a lot. You can’t live on $100 a month, and I do know a many people who are making quite a bit more, but still… for just goofing off in your lazy-chair all day.. meeting people and having fun… it’s not a bad way to get started. Since he IS just getting started, I certainly don’t see this as a “top”. I’ll keep you posted as I hear more from him.
For more info on the REAL business potential in (and of) Second Life, here is an awesome 45 minute video from ABC with in-depth looks in to virtual real estate, the adult “services” market, clothing/retail sales, tax and property rights laws, and much more.
