The popular virtual reality “game” Second Life, is one of the most unique ways to advertise your web site or make a living online. The web site allows members to create a character and then use real money to buy and sell land and various other supplies. Hence, your net worth in the virtual world has some real value in real money. Entrepreneurs are already starting businesses and with over $400,000 being spent daily in the virtual world, Second Life presents a clear profit opportunity. Currently, the best market to get involved in Second Life is land and real estate because the first thing new characters look to purchase when they enter the virtual world is land to build homes.

This may sound ridiculous, but purchasing land from members now, and then selling in a few months could earn handsome profits depending on how much you invest. Businesses have just started investing in the virtual world so it is an unproven market, but with over a million members and thousands of new members joining daily, it is apparent there will be a market to sell in the near future.

The annual economy of Second Life is estimated at around $65 Million annually and it is reported that there are over 3000 users that are earning over $20,000 annually from the “game.”

Real Life companies are also taking advantage of this opportunity and investing in this online world. Wells Fargo has purchased its own island in the “game” and many other companies are looking to either purchase advertising space or land in the game.

I know many are going to dismiss the opportunity, but now is the time to invest in Second Life. Land is very inexpensive and its retail price is going to continue to rise over the next few years. There is also a growing market of over 1,000,000 users and many people are already earning five figure incomes from the game.
