What a good opportunity for people to make biasness in second life, since I introduced to virtual life last year through “Buyer Behavior” unit at university of Western Australia and I can’t find any limitation for the chances that people can transfer to real money in virtual world. What a new world that attracted big companies such as Coca-Cola and Mercedes Benz to take a place in. last week I discussed with Dr Wade the possibility of finding a places to play soccer in second life and how can people benefit from having such sport activities. What if we can develop a soccer game to be like the one in the PS3 or organize an online soccer competition between avatars? Imagine big clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United get involved by selling the matches tickets or the team uniforms?
watch this video about virtual SoccerThis article writing by Shane in November 30th, 2006 at 11:25 pm, will provide you with some information about second life.
The online virtual world, Second Life, recently crowned its first real life millionaire.
This milestone brings home the fact that virtual worlds with real economies are going to be a huge part of the internet’s future. Maybe bigger than YouTube in the same way that video games overtook the revenues of the film industry simply because players can interact with the story. In Second Life you are the story.
Second Life is a world of almost 2 million people where your avatar (your three dimensional character) can meet and chat with other people. As John Chow recently commented on his blog, virtually anything is possible. Big corporations hold meetings in Second Life. Reuters recently conducted an interview with Nintendo President Reggie Fils-Aime in Second Life. NBC sponsored a tree lighting ceremony that mirrored the annual tree lighting in Rockefeller Center. You can buy, sell or rent land. You can create your own clothes, house, or working spaceship.
Earning a Living in Second Life
There are a number of things you can do to earn money in SL. How much you can earn depends on your skills, your creativity and your business savvy, just as in real life. There are many people who earn a couple or a few thousand real dollars every month from their Second Life work.
Design and Construction Businesses
With 3d modeling, Photoshop or programming skills you can start to make some good money. If you have two or all of these skills, then the sky is the limit.
· 3d modeling. You can build and sell anything you can imagine from custom avatar bodies to vehicles, plants, homes and commercial buildings. Pretty much anything. If it’s well designed, people will buy it. You can download Second Life’s basic avatar bodies and modify them yourself using Poser.
· Photoshop. Creating custom textures for anything from clothing design to marble flooring can earn you good money. Fashion in Second Life is big business just as it is in the real world. Everyone wants to look good.
· Programming. SL script is used to animate avatars and objects. It can make your avatar dance. It makes a slot machine work or a spaceship fly. Programmers bring SL to life with animation and functionality.
take an action and discover virtual world by yourself
Really interesting stuff buddy
ReplyDeleteKeep it up
interesting idea but how can we do it
ReplyDeleteeasy eshnin,there are so many ideas u can start with, for example u can design a soccer field in second life just like the video in the blog and design a soccer ball as well, than sit some rules for the game. in the beginning u can offer virtual money for each participant, till u create a buzz about it than athletics avatars can engage in future competition that u make with a little money as a fee. how is that sound? also there are unlimited whys to make money out of that am sure u can come with other ideas if u think about it.
