Welcome!


I’d thought about trying out Second Life (or SL, for short) for awhile, and while I was at it, I decided to go ahead and start a blog about my efforts.

It’s really interesting.  For one, not all of the avatars running around are human shaped – I’ve seen one that looked like a bunch of glowing orbs and one that looked like pikachu.  I’ve spoken to someone in Argentina.  I’ve seen avatars in all sorts of clothes and with all sorts of different animations for how they move.  The graphics are amazingly realistic.

There’s a huge variety of tasks you can do to earn money, or, if that’s not your thing, there are a lot of fun things to spend your money on!  As I don’t have the money (in real life) to spend on this sort of fun, I’m trying it out to see how earning money through Second Life works – or doesn’t work.

Most of what I’ve learned about how to play was gathered off the internet and trial and error.  It helps that I’m very comfortable with using computers.  Hopefully this helps someone out.

I have a page on this blog that's specifically for tips - I'll mention them as I create posts, but this will be a place specifically where I'll pull them out.

So – on to what I’ve had some success in – fishing. When I first decided to try out SL, I googled to find the different ways to earn money in SL and found information on fishing (among other things, but you can only try one thing at a time).   The basic rod is free and as a newbie, you get a handful of free worms to fish with.   There’s several different types of worms – anything from ‘small’ to ‘mini’ to ‘large’ to ‘candy’ to ‘magic’ worms.   Basically, you wear the HUD and the rod, select the button on the HUD to go to a new location, find the ...
