When I started out with SL my main goal was to find some kind of business opportunity. It's been nearly two months now, and after messing around a bit I'm starting to put things together.I've made enough money in SL to set things up, it was a challenge I made for myself not to spend a RL dime into 'The Game'. So far I've succeeded in doing that and things are going great.
Qua business I have:
- set up a virtual enterprise
- opened a shop
- working on two RL in SL marketing projects
- today i actually had my first photo shoot as a model quite unexpectedly
- buying land
- building a couple of houses and stores to rent out
Being in SL is psychedelic, as if you're running through a thousand dreams. Some unexplainable, most based on a sexual desire and Freud would be in virtual heaven if he could've logged in.
SL is a playground for grownups, a world on it's own where human communication is brought to a parallel dimension. Often limited by the use of keyboards instead of voices (which is a new option however), but on the other hand it is exactly that loss of directness that makes people open up.
Anyways, without exaggeration SL is fun. Maybe in the beginning it's a bit boring but after a while when you start meeting fun people (you'll meet some rude individuals too) just like in RL things get better as you settle in. Finding your way around, and although it is a virtual world the human side is never completely virtual. The heart thumps, the body reacts, the cheeks blush, you get angry, you laugh, you share and even in SL when a door closes another one opens.
