Earning Lindens

When I have free time, one of my recreational activities is helping newbies. I hang out at Bay City Municipal Airport. I give out freebie cocks to guys who ask for them. And I ask, if they have an interest of being a demon/demoness. But usually I get asked a lot "How do I earn money?" A maddening question to new residents, as we've seen the value in investing in our avatar lives (sometimes small fortunes). But remember when you were new?

• What do you do here?
• WTH is this game and what is the point?
• How can I look like that sexy person over there?
• Where do I get a kwel skin, other than what I have now?

If you are a newbie, and don't want to invest a couple of bucks in the most amazing thing civilization has invented to date. You can camp or hunt money trees or harvest the thousands of free items on Xstreet Marketplace and Freebie stores.

Camping: is the most miserable way to spend your time in SL. We are all here to have a good time, see amazing things, and make new friends. If you want to earn L$5 for standing in one place for 15 min and think that your time really is only worth US$.08/hour then by all means.

Money Trees: are just what they sound like. They will be surrounded by 4 rocks that tell you how much is available in the tree. Dollar Bills are 1 Linden, Apples are L$5, Bananas are L$10, and Pineapples are L$20. They usually have from 0-25 Lindens and allow residents in their first 30-60 days to collect money.

New Citizens Inc., has one and a lot of great stuff for newbies.

Get A Job: a minimum of 30 days old in SL. It's a commitment factor, if your going to be a regular in SL. My first job was a host, for Sinners and Saints Nightclub.

• Dancers, Strippers, DJ's, Host / Hostess for clubs.
• Models for fashion stores.
• Escorts / Hookers for the Sex industry.
• Lease Agents for Land Management and Rentals.
• Managers, and assistants for all of the above.
• Builders and Designers for hire for others.

Most positions earn tip wages, like dancers. While Managers and certain positions are paid salary. Check with the owner(s) on how you will be paid, compensated for your time in front of the screen.

• You will earn several Linden Dollars for every ad you watch.

Buy Lindens: here's how I look at it. I spend US$4 on a beer in a bar: 1 Beer = US$4 = L$1,000. That's right, 4 dollars gets you a thousand Lindens! And that goes a long way, if you're frugal! My friend compares it to US$20 for two hours at the movies. And that's 5,000 Lindens, that can last you a month in SL!

Real World currencies can be exchanged for Lindens, and Lindens for your country of origin. This official link to SL Linden Exchange  or secondary approved sites;

There, I hope this helps you. Now go earn those lindens, and welcome to Second Life.
