Can you generate a Second Income in Second Life?

I’m currently investigating a very interesting way of making money online.

Second Life

Second Life according to PCmag.com is defined as

“A virtual world on the Internet from Linden Research, Inc., San Francisco, CA (www.lindenlab.com), in which “residents” create an identity, meet people, buy land and build their own environment or purchase an existing one. It is a “massively multiplayer online role playing game” (MMORPG), but one that offers users total freedom to create and interact as if they were living another life. Playing the game requires a client download for Windows, Mac or Linux.”

The definition goes further and you can read the rest of it here. But I thought the first paragraph was enough to give you a feel for what Second life is about. Second life is effectively a massive virtual world where users interact much in the same way they would interact in the real world.

Don’t ask me I’m a newbie.

If I’m honest I am completely new to Second life. I had read a few articles about it a few months back but didn’t look into it any further. However as I was researching ways to generate a second income online Second Life kept coming up so I decided that it warranted further investigation.

I’m still in the process of investigating Second Life and from what I’ve gathered so far there is a lot to learn and understand. That said I have also read that there is potential to make some real money by having a presence and interacting on Second Life.

I’m now focusing on learning more about Second Life. The key thing I am concerned about is whether or not it is feasible and realistic to generate a second income via Second Life.

As with any other method of generating a second income before I commit any serious time and resources to it I want to understand more.

For those of you who are interested in doing the same here are some very useful links to articles about Second Life.

From my reading and understanding of these articles my initial reaction is that it is possible to generate income in Second Life but not necessarily a huge amount of it. However I would imagine that you could have a great deal fun doing it and this could compensate for the low income. I will continue my research and keep you posted.

I now have an interesting way of possibly generating a second income to focus on. After yesterday’s trawl through the internet looking at dodgy “earn thousands using our plug in profits system” websites I was becoming a bit disillusioned. I was beginning to think that the web contained nothing but scams…anyway enough of my babbling. I’ve got a Second Life to consider.
