It’s true that linden dollars are hard to find in SL especially when you don’t know where to find it. Here, I’ll tell you where and how you can earn linden dollars and make money in Second Life.
Most common way is to get a job
This is the sure way of getting a stable flow of linden dollars to your hand. The Classifieds of SL’s search will be your friend here and the popular SL Job openings found at SLProfiles.com. Most pays at least 100L$ per hour and some even bigger than that. However, it will definitely take and consume your time. This is also the best way to meet people anyway so if you’re not the exploring type, this will be good enough.
Camping and Camp spots
It is not the fastest way to earn big cash in Second Life but it is the most common way to earn linden dollars for free. Camping is where you go to a place where there will be chairs, dance pads or anything that gives lindens when you stay there. Most are 2L$ per 10 minutes but if you’re lucky enough to find those 10L$ per 20 minutes or even high paying Camp spots, good for you. You may check Second Life Camping for the best camping spots in SL.
Sex sells even in the virtual world
By far the easiest way to earn huge linden dollars in an hour is to be an escort. I really don’t recommend this but even in the virtual world of Second Life, sex sells. There are tons of freebie skins and female shapes out there comparing to men’s this is because most creates a female avatar to get some quick cash. There are also lots of orgy and sex sim in Second Life where you can show your sexy female avatar to horny men. The weird thing is, we’re all aware that even real-life men pretend to be women in SL since escort services really pays high ranging from 1000L$ per 30 minutes.
Free linden networks, survey and affiliate programs
This is the part where I make money and by far the most effective way for me. My August 2007 earning hits 51,000L$ (even bigger than Iris Ophelia’s earnings per month) is consisted of First Opinions’ referral and Earn2Life’s referral system. SlamX, even if they’re just starting, their referral system also pays good. I already earned 3,000L$ from SlamX’s referral system for one week. They are promising and the best thing, they listen to comments and suggestions. These networks also serves as survey and offer networks so there are plenty of ways to make big money from them. I would want to say “try HippiePay” but HippiePay’s survey, like MyLindens and Money Egg are almost typically the same and doesn’t pay good for international or non-US SL residents. Affiliate sales are also promising, but they are more of a business.
Putting up a business is risky but when successful, lovely
We all know that businesses are risky but they are sure the best way to get rich. Second Life’s economy is going nowhere but up! Having 9 million residents as of August 2007 and millions of $ US dollars spent everyday, (yes US dollars!) SL is one way to make an online business and making money online. Here’s a tip though, be sure to hit this 3 successful business industry, fashion, building / scripting and Real Estate.
