Anyone using Second life?

If you guys want, I'll post the script that I used to swap Lindens for CPA offers. You basically pay for advertising space (billboards) in second life advertising "Free Lindens for Completing Short Surveys", or something similar. Maybe we could make it an open-source project everyone could use. I'll dig around for the script and post it later tonight when I get back home.
 
Whats a good place to buy established SL accounts and how much should you expect to spend?

replace X's with T's, remove X's, etc...

no offence lol, but that is the most useless guide ive ever seen. (good that you didnt write it) you can find all of that info on second life forums or the FAQs

That's really cool of you! :cool:
 
Yes the free review is simple and outdated, you can no longer gamble and we've already mentioned everything presented in the ebook here in this thread. It does have links to interesting articles that's about it.

Is anyone a premium member? Anyone want to go in on buying some land?
 
Funny I saw this post, I was thinking about using SL for a huge project of mine, and I think it is really a matter of time before others start exploiting this medium tomake money. Wasnt it like Myspace before, everybody thought it was just a social place to exchange interests and stuff, and a lot of people ahve capitalize on it already. SL's got a lot of potential if you think outside the box though......on to my plan....

And Clix, I would love that script though, Cheers Bro
 
If you try to use SL for CPA you never can stop cheaters.
They use proxy,socks VPN and cheat you every day (china korea blabla). Use roboform and Vmware. if you have 1 good real lead thats good, but all 99 will be bad(generated etc)
Then you got big ban and lose all your money.

Sl good only if you make cloth and different staff.
 
ok so i just you tubed SL.. and it just proves that you can make money any were on the net .. this silly shit is classic

So what about the hippie cash place? They look like they make bank off cpa offers. What about all the other places in SL that offer them? How are they getting around linden "farmers"...? This posses a good barrier.

What about adult site cpa offers, can't we monitor sign ups and conversions? Why throw them lindens when we can just throw them one of our in house girls (workers) ect.

I think that would work well.
I haven't checked out allot of the adult themed sims but I'll get around to it. I've been taking development tutorials and making textures in photoshop.

I give it about to more weeks until I build some fantastic object... and another week or so I'll learn to animate it. SL dev isn't hard at all. I thibk it just intimidates people so they just spend money and buy the shit. The statistic I keep hearing getting thrown around is the average user spends over $289L a month on avatars and clothing alone. It won't be long until everyone figured out that making your own clothes and objects really isn't that hard and it will be tough to make any real money out of it.

As far as SL relating to myspace in marketing, yes essentially it's allot like myspace but the huge difference is that SL WANTS people to build businesses inside of it. I think the adult site affaliates could make a virtual killing in here honestly... but as someone said... "you have to think outside the box"

That's a quote I don't think anyone can stress enough. You really have to keep an open mind, stop looking for "the next big thing" and think for yourself. The internet is so vast and it's true, you can literally make money anywhere. If your not creative enough to come up with your own way to make the cash maybe this isn't for you. Stop wasting your time trying to find a hole, if your not willing to make your own. SL is one of the things that just provides so many ways to make money, that's all it really is. It's a money pit to most users... you just have to be the one at the bottom of the pit.
Look at the prices of land and what some people are renting it out for. It's insane, thousands of dollars. You can buy an island for what... $1600 USD? And also have to pay monthly fees on it... It's crazy.

Anyone own land in SL, care to chime in and let us know if your land is worth the money?
 
I was thinking about getting into this a year ago and got sidetrack. Seems pretty interesting
 
Sl have only 60k visitors per day...every sim(island) can get not more then 60 people.

About hippie pay they now are close.
And if you w make money dont try promote webcam adult and etc site. really crap.
Try make animation,cloth and staff.
Its not real world and they dont work like real world.
And you can try all i think.
 
Here you go guys, attached the script. It's pretty crude, so you PHP guys may want to tweak it a bit and make it work the way you want. If you're feeling generous, feel free to re-post your improved version here.

From what I can remember, this script is pretty similar to how hippiepay worked. It allows you to advertise on billboards or on other objects and have people in SL "touch" your ad to be taken to your website to fill out CPA offers in exchange for free lindens. You will need to keep plenty of lindens in your main SL account, in order for the other people to get paid.

Again, this script is pretty crude, but maybe someone can salvage it.

Thanks so much for posting this. I haven't tried it yet but I will be soon.
Ok so we've got some general info now we would have to organize our group.

I'm now a premium member and I rent land (though I can own a small portion of land with no additional fees) I'm in need of a few people, there should be revenue but I can not promise it. All I'm going to say I have very targeted traffic a majority of which will be more than willing to shell out paypal instant cash. Completely untapped market. So targeted it hurts...

I have been in contact with certain people operating well known business in SL and I have pitched my idea to them (which was a pretty decent little business model) well I got shafted. I think two of them may have decided to take my idea and run with it. I tried to explain to them the traffic I would be bringing to them would spike their revenue but they apparently don't believe me. This is one of those time when I just have to honestly say "Not smart, your loss"....

I'm at a stand still with my plan at this point. I need someone with a good amount of land and some extra linden to throw at this. I currently have all the materials (building, decorations, custom signs). I just need the land to build it on. I've even got affaliates wanting to sell thier products on the land. Of course no one wants to invest in it until they see traffic and I don't want to send the traffic there until I have a way for them to make money on the land and buy niche related products on the land.

See my dilemma?
 
friend of mine has already been doing this for a while, it's successful but a pain at the same time due to fraud and such...setting up a system to deal with it semi-automatically would not be worth it at this point for me personally
