You might want to contact Linden Labs and explain the situation. If you explained your concerns, they might be able to give you more personal contact information. I am also starting to check to see if there is any way to find her. Can you also post in WoW to see if someone knows more about how to contact her in RL?

The biggest success story, of course, is American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life bringing in $100,000 US in Second Life. But even smaller initiatives I know of bring in about $200-300 US per month with little effort other than having a presence and donation jars strategically placed. Lots of potential there.

I fly a small plane to provide humanitarian aid, emergency medical flights to the villagers and support missions working here.

My question to you is do you think we can drum up support for the charity relief work we do using SL? I have often thought that it might be possible.

I produce a lot of video about our work, can that be injected in to Sl somehow? Do you have any advice or suggestions?

Thanks for this. It made really interesting reading, especially as I set my own office up in SL a few months back and have, since then, been wondering how best to use it. I’ve made some money my self through doing work related to SL, designing educational courses and creating training videos etc, but I have yet to actually make any Linden bucks in world.

I’ve written a short blog posting related to your posting here at: http://quickshout.blogspot.com/2008/03/working-in-second-life.html

Thanks again

best
Nik

A virtual world turning into a 3-dimensional advertizing page is not my idea of Second Life. I’m still pondering over this possible danger, that you inevitably face when working commercially in SL. How about brain-storming some new ideas of how to avoid such?

I love it, what a great glimpse into the day of a entrepreneur, mother, virtual news maker, etc. I like how you laid out the revenue models, I need to get some help on that score!
I seem to be very good at spending at not so good at making the revenue.
Thanks for the peek into your day to day.

If I had more time I would/will try again, with more of an eye towards trying to weave it more into the SL world, but I really had trouble with lagging, etc. It’s an interesting concept, but my patience isn’t what it used to be (nor my backroll to build what I wanted, hehe).

Still, your story was very interesting, and I thank you for sharing. You make me more than ever want to get back in and play. :-)

Profits? Hmmmm…not yet. Since January 2008, I’d say in terms of time, I’m spending 8-10 hours a week working in SL. Rough revs based on average income directly related to SL (both Linden or US dollars) would put my earnings at about $10 an hour so far for time worked. In RL, I get about $150/hour. I guess you call this a loss leader right now.

I hope I did the math right…

its soo wierd
but are u making a living – like paying the mortgage and increasing your earnings or is it a world of wanna bees all dressed up and hoping its all economically real because without some idea of you true economic turnover how do i no if it’s all not all some kind of wierd make believe business.
Once you’ve answerd that then i would want to know in terms of ratio effort vs expenditure / profits what would be the comparison of doing what you do virtually with doing it for real including the kind of income you actually earn…..

I could never achieve that kind of scheduling success. Kudos to you for your achievements in both your First and Second Life!
