Re: Who is on Second Life?
Actually, this is an interesting question, BBFFXX.
I would say that Second Life is a wonderful egg and it is still profitable for people. However, there is a major learning curve to Second Life and you would need to learn it fast. Now, I never personally cammed in Second Life but I have been both a voice and texting escort there for the past three years now.In fact, I started to work as escort within my second week on second life. I would be on Second Life while taking phone calls and writing erotica. However, I had people show me the ropes and I was on it until sunrise for the first year.
Plus, I had men buy all of my clothes, avatar parts, and other things. I worked at several different clubs within my first 2 years to build up my clientele for all of my avatars. I started to learn all of the sex industry in Second Life as well as the other industries there. I had networked on Second Life before joining Stripper Web. Then I started by reading as much books about Second Life as possible.I started to build my DonaDiabla brand from scratch in Second Life then I started to include more and more avatars after my year there. I make great money on and off Second Life with my avatars over the past 3 years. Now, I feel if I could learn Second Life as a non gamer than many other sex workers can learn it as well. But please note, that Second Life takes hard work and some time if you want to hundreds to thousands a month. Also, I would say that it is best to become both a indie and club escort on Second Life for your first year. :)

Re: Who is on Second Life?
So far its been pretty fun compared to others I've seen where users sit and literally say nothing in public chat.. Hair movements, textures, being able to walk with the ability to communicate by mic is a major plus! It took me a good while to grasp learning how to build a decent character and some of them turned out downright fugly. I've made a group of some online friends at a strip bar that have been giving me the ins and outs of SL, meshes, building and knowing what works with certain bases, way more complex being similar to RL than other VR. (please do not accept shared files from anyone, regardless if they claim to be safe) Those that have shared their earning details say they make a decent amount depending if you show up at that particular location to work, stripping, escorting, Skype shows, Kik, selling in shops or offering lap dances, ect. I'm using an avatar 2.0 (anime like chic that's not compatible with mesh) with a little setup allowing you to remove different parts of the body to changing the color of the skin and eyes, only thing that sucks is you can't make your character's tits jiggle. :(

Re: Who is on Second Life?
I agree with Tsani and Dona. There is a steep learning curve and it takes a lot of time to make decent money on sl. I've been playing sl since 2012 and I started out playing just for fun. I didn't get serious about the business aspect of it until further down the road, but it was easy for me to start providing services since I already knew the ins and outs of sl. A lot of girls get started on sl hoping they will make money right away and end up being disappointed in the end. Don't get me wrong, there is money to be made on sl but it takes both time and experience. Plus as Tsani mentioned the going rate for cam is lower than the cam rates most of us are use to having. Some girls are offering cam on sl for .50/minute so that's about 124L.

Re: Who is on Second Life?
Yeah in my rant I forgot to mention that "half the typical going rate" is actually the higher end on SL.

By "verified cam girl", I mean a member of the verified cam girls group here. See this thread for more info: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...roup-verifying
The SL group is really inactive though so you're not missing much. There's lots more info about SL on my forums at http://camconcierge.com/forums You can't see the virtual escorting section unless you join though, as those forums aren't as open as these ones.
Are you currently active on SL? If you are and you know the basics of how SL works already, I'd be happy to give you some pointers for virtual escorting in world or I can schedule a class for the girls who have learned the basics and want to move on to making money. I used to give SL 101 classes but it was too exhausting and time consuming. If you haven't learned the basics yet, I suggest spending some time on newcomer island in world and exploring for a while.

Has anyone had to download the new version of Second life and it messed with their firewall protection?

I don't use the LL view, I use Firestorm - are you using the regular Linden Labs SL viewer?

Re: Who is on Second Life?
Yes, Avalon_rose, I am using the regular Linden Labs SL viewer.

Have you thought about or tried the Phoenix Firestorm viewer? My understanding is that it has a lot less bugs and works better. I've been using it now for ... oh gosh, nearly four years? Maybe you should give it a shot, too?
If you do, follow their instructions for a clean (re)install. It works! :)

Anytime - I've used SL on and off since about 2008, and started escorting on there a few years ago (though I don't at the moment). I just use my main account now for fun and relaxation. But anything I can do to help, I'd be glad to! :)

Re: Who is on Second Life?
Just an FYI, I no longer have much time for SL with my new full time job (i know, it's a drag, but yay steady income) so I'll be getting rid of my land there. That means no more classes from me unfortunately. If anyone's interested in buying my land there, let me know. I'll be taking another hiatus from SL, only visiting it occasionally for fun.

I just saw this, not sure if you've sold it or done anything with it yet. May I PM you and see what'cha got? :D
I'm highly contemplating revamping and starting again as an escort, just to have another platform to use for $$$. I really enjoyed it when I did it before, though the club I worked at was super strict. Lots of long hours. Made like $250 a week on the better weeks, but I couldn't do anything else in between waiting for customers. We had to be focused on the sim constantly - which on the one hand I understand ... but on the other, it would be nice to be able to field PSO calls or something while waiting, you know? The owner doesn't want folks taking clients from SL outside of there and whatnot, which I totally get ... but I wouldn't do that. If someone comes to me in SL via a club, I'm not going to try and talk them out of SL because that's just not right (unless if for some reason they don't care and it's not an issue for that club/staff *shrugs*).
Okay, rambling. *facepalms* Done!

I haven't sold it yet, I was planning on putting it up for sale on Sunday. Go ahead and PM me or I can PM you when I'm done with dinner with the details ;)

Second life and Red light center, a possible side income source?
Hello, ladies:
I am new on SW, and have been reading the forum since yesterday night I found it. I am not new to camming, I am doing it since some years ago, only in a partial way to get some extra cash, lately my work situation is getting worse and I have thought about do camming more seriously and more time at day, and also, to find other ways to make money on internet.
I never thought that a forum like this would exists and I only wish I would find you sooner that I did, lots of great information.
Well, the thing is, I only cam in one site for the moment, sometimes two, but the second is being a dead end the last months, plus I am a bit burnt out lately, I am not sure if is only a little low mood or a starting depression, but more often than I should, I lack the neccesary motivation to be on cam and smile, and wait for customers, the main motivation for me, always was the money I can do, but sometimes there are very slow time, and it kills me, or other times when I feel I can't be online, you know, is not very good to show yourself grumpy or moody online, or when I am in my period.... those thing.
For that, I am seeking for other ways to make money on internet, I have seen about phone sex, but my english is not enough good for that, and applied too to MGF (not accepted), so, reading the forum, I have seen about this two videogames, Second Life and Red light center, and saw that some of you use them to get some money, I love playing videogames so... I thought... why not?
The messages I saw on the forum, are quite old, for that I would like to ask you if someone of you uses this games to make some cash and if it is possible to use them this way, I have read that in Second Life is possible to change the game money to dolars without problem, for example.
Any experiences about this?. Thank you very much in advance

Re: Who is on Second Life?
Hi Mazikeen welcome to the forum. I moved your post to this thread because you'll have a better chance of getting responses from people who actively use Second Life. Whenever a new post is made an email goes out to members to alert them of a new post. Unless of course they unsubscribe. In the meantime you can go back a few pages and read whatever everyone has written about Second Life. The information is very recent.

Re: Who is on Second Life?
Thank you very much! I just have seen it, I'll read about it while I see if someone else share their experience about

Re: Who is on Second Life?
I wouldn't think of it so much as a game, rather than literally a second life otherwise people tend to get b*itchy there. For example, I treated it the same way and was outed for bringing in rl interests that didn't otherwise fit my character. After creating another account, I went to a land that had a bunch of clubs and different shops to purchase goods. To be on land you have to be there for a certain amount of time otherwise, you will be booted off islands very often. Some have strict rules such as, no flexible hair, Anime cartoon skins, boobs that move as you walk, ect. Trust NO ONE on that program when being sent items/folders or anything claimed to help guide you towards building a better character. Unless you have been speaking with them for a while, by going to the location or talking via mic they may offer to help you customize through steps. The money can be converted through the markets at certain rates, I'm not very big on details there given its still fairly new to me. People can choose to leave tips at the club donation box or tip individual dancers that also provide lap dances and sexual poses. First I was a naked lesbian on a deserted beach island with 3 other crazy nude trolls digitally finger banging each other. You have to install certain abilities that allow you to click on action dots to perform different themes, but it gets more complicated. My second character was a bloated biker chick covered in leather with wings and my last base being an anime girl. This was the easiest to customize with a little app that removed certain body parts from showing under outfits. There are apartment alarms that you can accidentally cross through flying, so be careful not to invade or if you have a roommate lock up their place. (Avoid pony/furry lands please..) Eventually I fell among the lovely trolls that were very friendly where I met my virtual roommate and other times it was creepy as f*ck. For a while I couldn't stop envying cute characters people would have on there, some with soft ambient music as you approach them. If you need to get certain things, you can either invest by buying items by converting money or going to friendly newbie lands where they offer tons of stuff. Also..you may be told to say your username before rp and this is important to learn if you plan to work on SL. I've lost some clients through not being able to properly communicate their form of rp style, much different than other virtual programs.

Re: Who is on Second Life?
I'm a stripper and escort on Secondlife. I don't make a lot of money there but making money for just having my avatar pole dance is appealing to me. But it can be challenging if you want to make the same $$$$$ on SL as you do camming. Overall SL is full of trolls who GIF spam me and desperate dudes trying to find a "connection" with me when they don't even know anything about me or even know what I look like. And of course these guys never spend.

Re: Who is on Second Life?
Thank you for the answers, I dont think it can be the same as camming, but maybe a side option for getting some cash, not sure of it, I just tested Red light center and there were not much people and you have to pay a monthly amount.
Same as you said BBwBrianna, is more about if it is a good way to get some cash having some fun and that, not as much as camming, but a little time killer when you are not in mood to be camming or want to do something different.
