Sup faggots, /biz/ here I heard you can make real shekels on this Game while not even playing it.

How does one go on about this and how much do you need to invest before you can see a return?

Do you need any skills whatsoever?

You need to be:

-a good 3D modeller to sell 3D dicks/clothes/more dicks.

-a good texturer to sell people skins for their fursonas/clothes/OC fursonas

-a good scripter to script BDSM devices/fun stuff/Sex beds

or just find a niche market that requires no effort but preys on the lusts of brazilians, an example of this done well would be breedables. Someone made animals that you can breed to get different recoloured versions of the same model but with fancy stats.

The catch being you need to keep buying food from them or they die.

And then they die anyway or get killed by a griffer

To make any worthwhile money nowadays you need to know how to make good 3d models and textures.

No effort doesn't work.

They're exaggerating.

If your sole intention is to make as much money off the game while playing it as little as possible, you might as well throw yourself into the trash bin with thousands of other crappy SL creators. You actually need to play SL, even if just casually, to understand how to make good products. Having items from other creators is invaluable, because they introduce you to the wide variety of features available in SL.

Now if you're actually interested in playing a sandbox/virtual world game, SL is great for side cash. After getting your bearings, you can just sit alone in your skybox and make items all day. Just remember that it's a hobby- you're playing to have fun and learn skills. The cash you get is a bonus that you wouldn't make doing other things in your free time. If you don't enjoy it, it's work and it's not worth doing for the money.

>There are people who just rip and rig stuff from other games to be ported to SL making money

You don't need to be aware of trends and how the game works, dumb pubbies will paying anything for something that looks good in a screenshot.

If you want to make a bit more money and be respected and well known in the community then you need to play SL casually.

I was assuming that this person wanted an actual SL store.

Rips get you money. They also make it impossible to get to the real cash-cow levels; you'll never be invited to fairs or events. Word of mouth advertisement backfires when people realize your shit is ripped, and because you own none of your content, you will lose your business if someone puts the same mesh up for cheaper. Also, you might need to keep taking down and putting up products every time someone leaves a 1-star review that you have (and you really have) swindled them with a ripped item.

I don't want to sound like a naggy TOS-cock-sucking prick but there are some disadvantages to running a rip store you should think about first.


 No.19208

solution: sell rips on an alt and sell legitimate products on your main. swim in double the spacebucks


 No.19220

>>19167

The amount of money you'd make selling garbage rips isn't even worth the effort.

You need skills and decent products, make something everyone wants, and only then can you slack off not doing shit and still make money, because your thing will be the best on the market and people will buy it even if newer shit comes out, because yours has X feature nobody else does.


 No.19229

>>19191 is right. Your best bet is to explore a more obscure fetish and find a niche you can fill (heh). The more you get into it the easier it will be for you to see gaps in what's available on the market and try to make something that addresses it.

Or you can be a really talented 3D artist and take something that's already popular and do a better job of it.

>>19192 has no idea what he's talking about. Regardless of how dumb you think people are and how easy you think you can bait them with altered screenshots the review system is there to make sure you never sell another copy when those first 2 reviews are 1 star from a disgruntled customer.

Yall got it wrong. All you gotta do is make a female avi and whore her out

How much does being an escort pay, even? I've heard that it's a good way to make spending money, but not good enough to cash out on.

>>19229

It doesn't necessarily have to be a fetish, either. There's a couple ways to get people to spend money:

- Fill the niche. Your skill level can vary here, because nobody else has done it before, and you will get lindens. At least until someone does it better than you. (I guess this is what Frenemy does, because nobody else really wants to.)

- Make something better than everyone else. You actually need skill to do this, but you don't need to be that original. (People like Utilizator, Blueberry, Studio Skye, [DDD], and a ton of other well-known creators do this.)

- Make something unique. Nobody asked for it, but if you do a good enough job at it, they will want it anyways. (Contraption, Remarkable Oblivion, and Rachel Breaker do this.) You do not need to be the best, as long as your product is interesting or fun.

Escortbux are hard to make properly.

the faggots that resort to trying to fuck e-whores on this game are desperate, yes, but you can't charge too much, and considering a session usually lasts half an hour for what, 1K linden and thats if you're really jewish.

the fastest way to make money is make quality furry shit, or shit for utilizator avatars.

Or best yet; guns.

the SLMC is filled with retards, if you can model and texture, or script a gun to work well in this game, they will eat it up like the shit they normally gargle. and its a totally insular market either, so competition is pretty weak, as most companies are turning away from slmc due to its people being toxic as fuck.

they are the true goyim.

how much does voice-based only escorting go for? My av is pretty good, I get a lot of compliments.


 No.19413

the quickest way to make some money is make a child avatar and get adopted

it should happen in a day or so

they will shower you in lindenburgs

I haven't even thought of that. But don't they ask what you spend the money on etc?

i just ask for "shopping money"

they never question what i buy with it

although i do buy 1 or 2 things new on the child account just so they suspect anything

Walk into a crowded club and ask to borrow 10L$.

Receive 500L$


 No.19536

>>19467

Does that actually work?

I still need 800L$ for a mesh avi.

>>19277

This only works with furries and animes it seems.

I have a hot as fuck bimbo but brazilians are poor.

You wouldnt believe how stupid/gullible a large amount of people on SL are. especially clubfags
