I love Second Life, but I've just messed around on there for fun. Not to earn money. I can't get age verified:( They don't recognize my ID because I'm not in the US and their support section is down all the time. So I couldn't verify that way.
I should just spend a whole day trying to get it done. Because it is perfect for me

I have an old mac and the SL software is not supported on my system. Does that mean that I have to get a new computer to play on SL or can I just download something off the internet to update my computer system?

If you're using Power PC Mac, you will need another computer. Second Life for Mac only runs on Intel base base. If you're using Mac with Intel (Tiger), you can run the older viewer 1.23 it still runs on Intel base
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers#Viewer_1.23
Viewer 1.23 it's not as stable using since Second Life switched a lot of coding that works more better in Viewer 2 or Third Party Alternative Viewer (Kirsten & Firestorm)
Second Life performance approved a lot in Viewer 2, they added more features to support more the newer operating system for Mac. They don't want to continue doing upgrades for older operating systems over technology changes and figure by now all will be using the latest Mac. I used to be on Tiger, and I had no other choice to upgrade to Snow Leopard because they stop doing the upgrades on Tiger. I dealt with lot of issues performance not being stable.

Just wanted to throw my name into the list of helpful people on Second Life. I'm Tsani Bonham on there and if you're new, just look me up and add me and I can help you out with getting started. I mostly use it to promote stuff outside of SL but I think I'm going to create a new account specifically for selling content in SL. I'm so much better at SL than camming so I need to step up my game. Is there an in-world group for SW members there? If not, maybe there should be so that we can help support eachother n stuff.

I'm back in Second Life. It's been about a year hiatus for me so I'm totally rusty with how things work. My SL name is Savannah Mortensen. I'd love to come together and get some sort of group/camgirl thing going inworld!

I'm baffled at the idea of actually making money on SL. I think about two summers ago I was logging one everyday (but as a dinosaur, not a camgirl LOL) and the whole thing still just seemed like a vast wasteland of empty areas.
Are there SURLs that actually have people on them? Lol.
Tsani
10-07-2011, 11:23 AM
Oh yeah, just gotta know where to look. Sure there's tons of wide open spaces but if you search for events and stuff you'll find people.

When you get in-world, open the search thingie and go to the "places" tab and type in "cam" you'll get a ton of brothels, lounges, etc with cam girls and stuff. I haven't checked them all out yet, but I used to work at Platinum. I haven't seen much traffic there lately but when you do a search, it generally lists the results in order of traffic so the most popular places will show up first.
I'm gonna try to use my new SL account to promote my RL cam and phone jobs and other stuff I'll be selling. I'll let you girls know how it goes and post some tips here for anyone interested. So far the plan is to post my rates on the "picks" section of my profile and my adultwork and twitter, etc. links on the front page of my profile. Then I'll scope out places that are out there and see where I can advertise.

ive been on SL for a few months now.. eh it's okay. a lot of times it's guys who want to chat- think that we just like to do it for fun :\ and then theres A LOT of hagglers.. lately it's been extremely oversaturated with new camgirls signing up and escorts, that i haven't gotten much in the past weeks. when i first started i did great! it's okay, just gotta advertise A LOT and make sure you spend money on your avatar- that's what gets guys to msg me, there are too many "cheap" looking ava's on there and you want to stand out. i notice lately too, girls are charging less than they should be. i've had to even lower my rates from $3/min cam to $2/min cam :\
good luck
pm me if you want my SL screenname :)

PS i found out the hard way, that to make money you need to buy a Second Life Premium Account. they wouldn't let me take out money for months because i didn't get this. so frustrating!

Really?? Did they change it? It wasn't that way before. I haven't taken money out in a while so I dunno. That sucks. Wait, do you use CC for payment info or paypal? I use paypal so maybe that's why I didn't have to have premium to take the money out?
BuffyFlame

There are ways around it , Add me Buffy Zero.
Ive been on secondlife damn near since it opened.
Ive seen the world be put together. And no the currency great.
catgirl
10-11-2011, 10:18 AM
i use paypal, how did you get around it? i haven't seen you online in awhile Buffy :(
they said i couldn't take out more than 50$ a month without a premium acct.
BlankStare
10-12-2011, 10:01 PM
^^ I do not have a premium acct and can withdrawal $300/month from SL.. I am not sure why they will not let you withdrawal more than $50... do you have a verified Paypal acct?
Found some help for you on the SL forum: "See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Linden-dollars/ta-p/700107 for the first steps on using LindeX. There are more details on the process linked from the LindeX pages themselves. If you have never made a payment to LL, your account will be unable to sell L$ on LindeX, and you will need to make some sort of payment to LL to enable this (either upgrade to premium or buy a small quantity of L$, then wait 7 full days before you are allowed to sell up to US$300 of L$).
You can check your current LindeX trading limits at https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/describe-limits.php .
Alternatively, see http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/L$_Marketplace for alternatives to LindeX which may be of particular use if your home currency is not US$. If you have LL tier to pay, however, LindeX may well be the preferrable option, as any US$ gained through there can be directly applied to tier, without having to take it to PayPal and back again."

Have you tried shopping on the SL Marketplace (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/?lang=en-US)? Inworld shopping can be a pain. There's good freebie blogs out there too like SL Freestyle (http://slfreestyle.blogspot.com/).
Tsani
11-07-2011, 03:01 PM
Nikki I was just gonna point her to the marketplace lol. I just made a brand new account for my camming and phone promotions and the marketplace got me lookin' SMOKING hawt for not much money at all. Skin stores are always giving away free and dollarbie promotions. I'm pretty good at making shapes too. You can find tons of good freebie hairs too if you don't mind dark purple lol. When you get some lindens though, invest in a few hairs from Truth. They're generally only 250L but they're the best IMO.
I'm a marketplace shopaholic so if it's all a bit overwhelming to ya I'd be happy to shop for you just let me know what you're looking for or maybe PM me a pic of what sort of look you're going for.

Marketplace shopping is addicting! I forgot to mention Bare Rose (http://toriheart.blogspot.com/) which is huge and cluttered as hell (you'll need to use camera controls to scan the merchandise way at the top) but there's some great deals to be had. Tons of lingerie and cool cosplay stuff. :)
Tsani

Thanks I ended up buying a nice shape and skin and gotten pretty addicted to shopping on the cheap/free stores lol so much fun!!!
So, do you guys do the escorting stuff on there too and have you bought all your "parts" ? I haven't done much besides make my character look pretty and now I'm trying to figure out what to do next. Did you notice the age verification now all they make you do is confirm your birthday? I didn't have to add an ID or anything.
I filled out my profile with info about me and said I do cam shows and listed my rates... Do I just go try to talk to guys now? And I wasn't quite sure after reading this thread, do you do the shows in-world - and can you make your cam so that only that one person can see and hear you? Or do you take them to skype?
Ps if anyone wants to be friends on SL you should pm me your name hehe I'll try to figure out how to add you :P
Tsani

Thought I would post a few links to cheap items on the marketplace and some info for noobs.
Everyone needs an AO which is an animation overrider so that you don't walk like a duck with a stick up its ass. Here is a very basic female one for only 1L https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/VA-VISTA-BASIC-FEMALE-AO-V08-basic-line/298453
To use it, just drag the box you get from the marketplace from your inventory to the ground to "rez" it and then either touch to unpack or right-click and select "open". Find the AO from the new folder in your inventory and right-click and select "wear". It should go onto what's called your HUD on your screen and you can turn it on and off as needed (sometimes if you sit on something with an animation you need to turn it off).
As for skins, here is a very very sexy pale one for 10L https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Skintimate-Donation-Skin-3/2701292 It doesn't come with the tattoos in the picture.
For shapes I usually just make my own but you can find some free and cheap ones on the marketplace.
On the subject of genitals, I know that guys can't have in-world sex without buying them unless they want to do text only but for females the skins you buy generally come with a vagina texture on it. You only need to buy genitals if you want it to be interactive, as in clickable and such. You can still make it look like you're having sex if you have the right furniture with pose balls (things you sit on that have animations, search marketplace for sex furniture). Good genitals can be expensive. There are also what's called "prim boobs" which are attachable boobs. The main point to those is if you want to have breasts that are bigger than what you can make by editing your shape. These also have functionalities such as lactating and stuff. There's a bit of a niche market for huge boobs in SL and a lot of good big boob clubs (message me, Tsani Bonham in world for more info on that). The down side to these is it can get expensive, not just for the boobs themselves but because it requires clothes that are compatible with them.
There is soooo much info to know about SL, and a really good forum for that and really helpful people is rletc.com I highly recommend joining that site and asking questions and reading up on the stickies. It's not just for SL it's for all virtual worlds so if you're interested in Red Light Center there's a section on there for that too.
If anyone wants to add me on Second Life, the account that I've had the longest and has the most stuff to give away is Tsani Bonham and the account I'm using for my escorting and cam marketing is alexbonham1 Resident. Just go to the search function in world and search people for the names then click "add as friend" from the profile.
Sorry this was incredibly long winded, I just like to help and I've been on SL for a few years. I also would love to get some sort of SW group going on over there.

Well I started on it today and I have to say it was really cool. Some concerns were.. 1. It was SLOW! but thanks to the above post by buffy it can be fixed and 2. Some times the destinations would not show up at the bar on top.
I saw two places that looked awesome, one was a 1930's goth hotel that played industrail music( 18+ and then ( giggedy) the FEMDOM kingdom ( hello fetish guys:) I havent been able to find those worlds although I did fix my maturity settings. odd. Well It IS addicting

I started camming on here the other day! It's a pain in the ass to go around updating adboards, but I like to leave it on in the background sometimes when I'm on other camites. I made an avatar that looks just like me. ^_^
MissKatie
11-18-2011, 12:53 PM
I really want to get started on here but the entire thing seems so overwhelming.Would you suggest getting the profile, skin, advertising etc all up and running perfectly before venturing out to try and find someone to sell to? or just get out and start meeting people straight away? I'm loathe to waste time getting everything set up right only to find i cannot get customers on there and all that time was wasted...
Know they are entirely different things, but those who use SL to cam or even promote non SL camming, would you say you do better on here than say MGF in terms of time to $ ratio?
Tsani
11-18-2011, 01:02 PM
I would suggest getting everything looking good on your avatar before going out and selling business.. amazingly, guys will want to book you simply because your avatar is sexy. What I like about SL is the fact that I'm not limited to camming, I can have guys pay to have sex with my avatar! It's crazy! I've gotten really good at making really sexy avis. Not gonna lie though, that site is filled with just as many freeloaders and time wasters as other sites but it does have tons of traffic. If you do searches for places to go and meet people, you can view it on the map and it tells you how many people are there which is cool. I'm not on MGF so I'm not sure how it compares to that but it does take a lot of time and some money to get your business set up on SL.
MissKatie
11-18-2011, 01:14 PM
Thanks hun I will look into this tomorrow when i have more time. So long as there is the opportunity for people to see my SL page when i am not on there actively looking for them, and so long as there is a way to make physical real life money from this, i'm wanting to give it a go. I noticed on an earlier post you said you will SL shop for people to get them a good looking avatar/ well dressed etc. Do you still do this? Think i will def need that since i have no idea where to start. I've made a help file with all the info from above and going to read through everything before i get stuck in lol.
Tsani
11-18-2011, 02:40 PM
Yeah people can see your profile when you're not in-world, especially if you put out a classified ad or use ad boards. I currently can't get in-world until next week because my graphics card didn't play well with the latest windows service pack so I get to reformat my computer AGAIN but I can get on the internet to marketplace shop for ya. Just send me your SL username and let me know what look you're going for. I like to be in world to actually see your avi and give you help with placing prim items and stuff if you need it but I won't be able to do that until next week like I said and probably not until late in the week cuz of school.
