SL takes a lot of your lifetime and makes people neglect their first life.

In addition to Second Life a couple other virtual worlds that people invest in and make real money from are EntropiaUniverse.com and Weblo.com.

There's a very interesting book called Second Lives, by Tim Guest. In one chapter he tells how a couple of people made a (real) fortune exploiting a loophole they accidently discovered which allowed them to duplicate products at no cost. It was like the goose that laid the golden egg - they just kept making new products after they'd sold all their stock. Can't recall what the product was, but I think it was an item of furniture second lifers buy for their virtual homes.

I tried to figure out stuff once, but really didn't have enough time. Big corporations & Individuals are pumping money everyday into it. Not 100% sure, but I've heard that some have made million $s real-life money from second-life.

If you think it's for you, go ahead. It's a waste of "real-time", imho, well unless you can get the real-life $$$$$$$s in return. Keep us posted how it goes for you!

While it does take time it can make you money. I make very real 'real life' money from L's running a successful virtual real estate company and renting homes and lands to the local denizens. Time ot run it? No more now then minutes a day. Time to set up up? Well it was snowing when I started and finished but I am pretty sure there was some warm weather in between
