First Money In Second Life. Second Life - real earnings in the virtual world Sale of game values

No one will ever say that Second Life is graphics top level or an amazingly detailed game story. There is nothing like this here, the usual game of an average level. However, its feature is the ability to earn money and not necessarily with investments. Let's analyze everything in detail and try to get rich.

Ways to earn money in the game Second Life

Immediately after registering in the game, you can earn the first money. It is desirable, of course, to make some investments in a game project, but this is not necessary. Internal currency The game is called the Linden dollar, the conversion rate is fuzzy, especially with the current market fluctuations. Landing pages can be easily earned, below we will tell you how.

There are many in Second Life manor estates where the owners sell different things. Owners need their stuff to be bought, and to do that, they need to overtake competitors in the general register. To overtake, it is very important to increase the popularity of your estate, that is, to recruit as many people as possible into it. Most gaming entrepreneurs invite players to visit their properties (you'll be the one invited) and watch some animation, for views, the owners will charge money.

This way of earning is in many ways reminiscent of reading letters on mailers, only here the viewing time is not thirty seconds, but ten to twenty minutes or even more. You can only view one animation at a time. They came, they looked, they got money - this is the algorithm of your actions.

Remember about the pitfall - you will be automatically removed from the game if you do not show within half an hour activity. So during the animated video, do not sit motionless at the monitor, but look at the surrounding landscapes, change your position, and so on.

The second, no less popular way to get landings is money trees, which are called "money tree". To find them, enter the name into the search engine, it will return the areas where the trees grow in response. The task is to go around each and take money from the plants. After a few hours, you can completely repeat the bypass and collect earnings again. Please note that the animation will be available forever, and the trees - only in the first month so don't waste your time.

The third way you earn money resembles both mailers and paid surveys: they pay money for registration on third party websites and filling out questionnaires. Sites are regularly checked by administrators for viruses, so there is nothing to worry about. There are always a lot of tasks and a wide choice, but they pay a little. For tasks, you will be awarded from twenty to four hundred landing pages. Do not think that you will be paid for the work right away: first, the task creators will check the quality of the work.

Fourth method: regular games . Available on site slot machines, there are logic toys and so on and so forth. Of course, each game is played only for money, no matter if you earned it in the game or entered real money. If you play slot machines, then the minimum bet is five dollars, the maximum is twenty, the winnings are appropriate.

In the first month of the game, while money trees are available, you should not invest money in the game, you will always have time to do this. If you still decide to invest, then remember that the only way to increase capital is creation of own estates. Estates need to be promoted by placing animations, and this is an additional expense. Weigh all the pros and cons, then boldly proceed ... Good luck and prosperity in Second Life!

Official site

You have registered in the game and completed Help Island. Congratulations! Almost all the doors of the virtual world are open before you, but you need to start somewhere. Many start with appearance, others from creation, others from something else. This article will not consider ways to get some things for free, we will focus only on earning virtual currency. In any case, you will need some initial amount virtual money linden dollars (L$). Of course, the easiest way to replenish a virtual account is by depositing money from your credit card or using special services, such as ROBOX. But we are not looking for easy ways and decided to earn some money directly in the game. What can we provide as workers who have not yet acquired individual skills and "professions"? Only your time in the game. Many owners of lands and locations are ready to give you some money so that you stay in their possessions for a while. Why do they need it? The answer lies in the magic word - TRAFFIC. The more traffic a certain place has, the higher this place will be in the search, it will be considered more popular, other residents will come there more often. Simply put, traffic is needed to attract visitors, but not newbies like you, but potential customers for whom that place is designed. Here are the first four simplest ways to earn initial money just provide for the principle - "you are in a certain place - you are paid manyushkas."

Method number 1 Camping (camp)

The owner of the land places special Camping Systems (objects with animation) on his land. Those who want to camp must run this animation on the object and not leave it for a certain time. For example, if you see an inscription above a camping object 2L$/15 min, this means that while at this campsite you will receive 2 linden dollars every 15 minutes. Animations can be different, such as dancing, wiping floors, catching fish and just sitting on a bench. It depends on the wild imagination of the owner of the land. To start camping, right-click on this object and select (most often) Camp.

How to find campsites in the vast world of Second Life? In Search, on the Places tab, search for a word Camp, you will be given hundreds of places for possible camping, fly, choose the "highest paid", if you can call it that))). Strictly speaking, camping is the lowest paid occupation that takes up your time, but it is worth noting that it is also the most stable and one of the more or less guaranteed earnings.

Method number 2 Money trees (money tree)

The money tree is another option for land owners to attract visitors.

From time to time, lindens appear on these trees, which a beginner can take, that is, replenish his linden balance. Money from money trees can only be taken by beginners, whose "age" is not more than 30 days. Some money trees require you to enter your credit card into your account. I skipped such trees, and flew to the next ones. How to find money trees? Easier than you think. In the search (Search), in the tab Places (Places) score money tree, you will be given a list of money trees on several pages. All you have to do is fly and collect Linden Dollars (L$). In the old days of my nubism, I collected up to a hundred lindens per evening, I had a list of money trees, which I periodically flew around and harvested. I can personally give a couple of recommendations.

1. Start the flight not from the first positions given by the search, those denyushki in the first trees in the list have already been collected by other beginners.

2.Turn on the mode Ctrl+Alt+Shift+3, i.e. the mode in which trees are not shown. So you do not need to look for hanging lindens in the foliage of the tree itself, denyushki will be clearly visible.

The amount of earnings is more than on campsites, but there is a chance of finding money on these trees. One of the advantages of this initial income method is that you are practically traveling the world (rather than standing still like when camping), you can find a lot of interesting places for yourself.

Method number 3 Participation in surveys, questionnaires and registrations

Actually, all the work with such polls is done on the Internet (not in the Second Life game). You also gain traffic, but not only for the owner of the land (because you are near the machine), but also for advertised and promoted sites. Accordingly, you are paid for this. They pay well enough, but not consistently and not guaranteed. One such service is the well-known Earn2Life. But this is not the only service. How to work? Find a similar machine, click on it, go to a web page, and then follow the instructions of the service directly on the Internet. To do this job, you will need two things, a good knowledge of English and an additional spam mailbox, which you will definitely start receiving with such registrations. It should be taken into account that many tasks in such services are available only to residents of certain countries, so before completing, check if you meet the conditions for completion. Earnings from 20 L$ to 400 L$ for each task from such a machine. Takes a lot of your time and payout is not guaranteed. Many registrations and profiles need to be confirmed from your email inbox, so not all payouts happen immediately, sometimes after a certain time.

Method number 4 Free games with cash prizes.

Some land owners, in order to attract additional visitors, install various free slot machines, where you can get money if you win. In fact, this is the same camping, but instead of animation, you just spend time in logic games. For example, I personally met a lot of Zyngo devices with free game, win 5 - 20 L$. The rules of the game are described at this link. These machines, like other places with earnings, can be found in the search by scoring, for example, the request free game.

With these methods, you can initially earn some Linden dollars for your first needs, but later you will definitely find more interesting and higher earnings for yourself.
Good luck!

ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Among young Internet users, it is difficult to find someone who has never played online multiplayer games. Someone, perhaps, once tried it, he did not like it, and he once and for all refused to do it in the future. And someone, on the contrary, cannot imagine his life without games.

The number of players includes not only those people who just spend time for their own pleasure, but also those who treat the game as a way to earn money. The fact is that you can earn real money on online multiplayer games. The main thing is to know in which game and how this can be done.

Sale of game values

There are several ways to make money on online games. But more often than not, people simply sell game values ​​that they once managed to get in the game themselves or that were previously also bought. You can even sell your account with a well-developed (pumped) character.

Considering that online games themselves are very popular, there will definitely be people among the players who want to buy this account. The fact is that many players who have barely started the game do not want to spend time and effort on discovering everything on their own. It is easier for them to find such a seller of game values ​​and buy a ready-made, strong and “pumped” character.

Having understood the essence of such earnings on games, you might at first think that everything is simple here. But in fact, everything is noticeably complicated by the fact that many projects categorically prohibit their players from engaging in such activities, as it leads to significant financial losses for newly registered players.

You can buy and sell in Second Life

But still, those who wish to engage in such a gaming business should not despair, as there are companies on the vast Internet that, on the contrary, welcome this kind of entrepreneurship. An example is a game called Second Life.

Here, each player can demonstrate his creative potential to other users, get a decent amount of money for it, and at the same time not worry at all that the account will one day be blocked for violating the rules established by the administration. The developers of this game are happy to accept any user who wants to earn. After all, what more money the player earns, the more money the company itself will receive.

Famous brands in Second Life

Many serious companies have developed their own virtual enterprises for the game. They did this in order to once again advertise themselves, as well as in order to increase the flow of customers outside of the game. In the game "Second Life" you can often see famous brands and even try to get a job in one of the well-known companies.

In Second Life, you cannot accumulate resources by grinding. Here, the profit depends solely on how enterprising the player is. In general, everything is like in real life. At the very beginning of the game, you can try to invest real currency or start working for those who have been registered in this system for a long time and are looking for workers.

The most popular in the game are establishments intended for entertainment. This is explained by the fact that many players still pursue the goal of relaxing and having fun, and not making money. After all, this is a game first and foremost.

Someone even got rich

A good example for beginner virtual businessmen is a German teacher who was engaged in the purchase and sale of gaming territories and as a result, in one year she was able to collect over a million dollars. This only once again confirms the fact that in the game, as well as in real life A lot depends on entrepreneurship.

Earnings on the game "Second Life" updated: January 11, 2018 by: ItsNotMe

The virtual world of Second Life has been allowing its users to lead a full-fledged second life in an alternative space for several years, choosing the appearance, environment and occupation to taste. It would seem that pure escapism - but digital reality is not as illusory as it seems at first glance: in addition to admiring the heavenly landscapes and role playing the platform also provides an opportunity to get a very real education, participate in a scientific conference, deploy own business, launch an art project and even visit a psychotherapist. T&P has chosen 8 promising projects for the new Matrix.

SciLands: archipelago of science

Second Life is used as a platform by many libraries, universities, government and other organizations. Some of them prefer to act alone, others gather in the agglomeration. Such a strategy helps to enrich each other in terms of ideas and attract more visitors.

In the virtual world, the island of SciLands operates today, bringing together several organizations from the field of science and technology. Initially, it was shared only by NASA and the International Space Flight Museum, but later they were joined by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), Imperial College London, University of Denver, the Exploratorium Museum and other organizations.

SciLands has a 3D model of the Victoria Crater on Mars, a simulator for flying through a hurricane region, a tsunami model that allows you to study how giant waves form, a simulator for collecting data in the Earth's atmosphere using hot air balloon, a virtual clinic, an oil spill response simulator, a training model for mapping the sea, and other interesting things. Every week, NPR's Science Friday discussions take place here, in which a variety of topics are discussed. SciLands allow Second Life users to learn within computer world and also open up many new horizons for people with disabilities who otherwise would not be able to take part in practical exercises.

British Council Islands: corner for Anglophiles

The three islands of the British Council in Second Life, which were previously only available to its students under the age of 17, since 2011 are also open to adult users from all over the world. Here you can not only learn English for free or for a modest amount, but also look at replicas of British attractions: working three-dimensional models of the London Eye, Carnaby Street and the central sports stadium, where they offer to play football virtually. Even on the islands, you can get acquainted with the life stories of famous British people and go through language quests with the search for keys and solving problems on English language. On their islands in Second Life, the British Council also hosts many events for students and teachers, but they remain closed to outside users.

Mesh Agency: business on avatars

An avatar is required to play Second Life. To truly enjoy the process, he must be handsome, combed, dressed and shod, trained in the correct gait and small movements (or, for example, dancing). All this is not given immediately, and, as a rule, in order to become handsome in virtual reality, you need to make as much effort as in real life. Avatar blanks - the so-called "mesh" - can be bought on the MarketPlace, made by yourself in the program for working with three-dimensional images, or purchased - all in one piece or separately - in special stores for quite real money. A well-designed "handmade" avatar can cost around 3800 Linden dollars (240 Linden dollars is approximately equal to one US dollar), bought from designers or made to order is even more expensive. The avatar can be dressed, combed, settled and employed to your liking. To do this, you can buy any models in Second Life varying degrees detailing: shelves with freshly baked buns to the bakery, cups of tea to the kitchen, a stable to the yard, a bed to the bedroom, snake-like pigtails on the head, and so on.

The most profitable business in this area is the Mesh Agency, which hires 3D designers and sells the items they create: hairstyles, shoes, clothes, objects, buildings, and entire avatars. For example, a pair of shoes here can cost from $8 to $30. The company also collaborates with sales managers who help distribute its products in Second Life and beyond. Mesh Agency employees can "work" in the company's virtual office using avatars, or stay away by creating models in real world.

Online Therapy Institute: working with people

Online Therapy Institute within Second Life offers training for future coaches, psychotherapists, supervisors, business coaches, managers and other behavioral and mental health professionals. There are practical online relationship models that allow you to practice your professional skills, practice a foreign language in your specialty, and make observations to support theoretical work. Outside of virtual reality, the institute does not work, but at the same time, the organization issues diplomas that will be useful in the “first” life.

Accelerated Recovery: virtual psychotherapist

Patients of Accelerated Recovery Centers visit a psychotherapist in Second Life. As part of the alcohol addiction treatment program, they first undergo an intensive two- or three-week course in real centers, and after that they go home - and there all the familiar temptations await them. This is where virtual reality becomes really useful: over the next nine or twelve months, patients meet with a psychotherapist as part of Second Life.

On the "island" of the clinic, the building of the rehabilitation center is recreated in every detail, and people can come there in the form of avatars to meet with the avatar of their doctor. The appearance of the latter here almost does not differ from the real one. The conversations use audio and chat so that patients can also hear their therapist's voice.

Experts note that after such sessions, their clients not only “feel like they have been somewhere away from home”, but also “be more frank and speak more directly” due to the phenomenon of “network disinhibition”, which can also be observed during normal communication in chat programs. . According to therapists, this form of counseling helps patients develop an "observing self" that allows them to look at themselves and their actions more objectively and rationally. “Perhaps, it is communication with the help of an avatar that allows simulating the work of the observing Self,” Accelerated Recovery experts are sure.

Virtual Reality Medical Center: fight against phobias

In California, there is a network of Virtual Reality Medical Center, which specializes in the treatment of phobias. Using working 3D models of scary phenomena in Second Life, specialists help patients overcome their fear of flying, public speaking, high floors, enclosed spaces, and even spiders. Virtually Better offers similar services in Georgia.

The US military also uses virtual reality: here, in particular, there is a platform that allows you to simulate dramatic military events. Sounds and smells can be added to visual information: the stench that comes from burning rubber, or prayers in Arabic. Psychotherapists use these models so that their veteran PTSD patients can go back and process their painful memories.

MyBase: US Air Base Simulator

The US Air Force has also created several "islands" and "regions" in Second Life to train its potential and current employees. This includes MyBase, a virtual air base for recruiting, training, education and training operations. Its creators pursued not only educational, but also promotional goals, since the database is designed for outside users. “We have developed different roles so that people can appreciate our base in Second Life from all sides: what is it like to be a military or ship chaplain, a medic, a participant in a young fighter course or a pilot,” the authors of the idea say. Users who visit MyBase can also "teleport" or fly around the territory of the virtual naval base, which is located on a sea island nearby. In addition, MyBase operates OneSource - a territory for the military, their families and friends who are far from each other in the real world, but can come here and communicate with each other.

Ten Cubed and Machinima Movies: 3D Art

Within Second Life, users can also host exhibitions, make movies, do choreography, and do everything else from a list of things that in real life is called art. For example, gallerists Hayne Shaughnessy and Russ Damon hired New York-based architect Benn Dunkley to create their Ten Cubed showroom in the virtual world. At its opening, five artists who in everyday life are engaged in contemporary art presented their works. In Ten Cubed, you can view and even buy both virtual and real works. The game also operates the Crossworlds Gallery - an open space for artists in Second Life - and other exhibition halls.

For filming in the virtual world, there is a special genre - machinima. This is a short film made using 3D graphics and video game technology. In addition, there are theatrical performances in which roles are played by avatars (for the first time at a professional level in Second Life, of course, an excerpt from Hamlet was staged), and theater festivals: for example, the comedy Virtually Funny Comedy Festival. As part of the game, ballet troupes work (with music and choreography created separately for each production) and live dance shows created by the La Performance team. Often, for users, participation in Second Life also becomes a platform for a literary career. Stories and novels dedicated to the experience of "virtuality" are written by many, and some authors even find colleagues in the game. For example, the novel "Second Life Love", which is currently on sale on Amazon, was written in the form of a dialogue by two users: Per Olsen and Lee Gang Keen, who have never met each other in real life.

The art of Second Life, of course, cannot yet compete with the real. And yet, in a world with a “population” of more than a million people, there are more than enough opportunities for creative expression. It is quite possible that one day an artist or director will appear in this area who will be able to create a work that is equally popular in both worlds. And the matrix, generously pollinated by ideas borrowed from reality, will return to its roots, gradually erasing the boundaries between biological reality and digital life.
