If you are looking for how to make money, I would tell you that there are a lot of ways to make money really. For instance you can make money with a video. I know of a company that would pay you to do a view review. Isn't that nice.

Some made a parody about second life and the person make $10,000 every month. That is great.

This is the story

"Sometimes all it takes is one smart move. Darren Barefoot, annoyed
by a swell of media coverage about the virtual world Second Life,
created a parody of it-- getafirstlife.com. (The subhead: "Your world.
Sorry about that.")

Barefoot launched his site in January,
submitted it to recommendation sites, and sent it to a few bloggers; it
worked its way up Digg. Soon he was enjoying his own little windfall:
350,000 visitors in 30 days, and roughly $1,000 from Google
ads--ironically enough, ads for the myriad businesses and services that
cater to Second Life users.

"This was a fire-and-forget
project," says Barefoot, a public relations exec in Vancouver, British
Columbia. "But I've made enough money to make it worth my time."

 

This is great. I wish him more good luck. The article is on here
