second life

This link is to a website acout entrepeneurs. It has an article about how a woman named anshechung who was second life's first millionaire selling clothes, perfumes, property etc.
First of all, second life can be defined as an international virtual world first established by linden labs inc via mainstream in 2003. This definition was achieved from a wikipedia article on second life. The article explains what second life is and lists its positives and negatives, e.g it helps people to make friend. We are told about people who quit their day jobs in order to start making money on second life. The article even tells us of a man who has never met his partner face-to-face - becuase they are together through second life. One of the negatives of second life that are outlined is that foreign businesses are taking advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities by using inexpensive labour and cheap overhead. We are told that this isn't yet an issue on second life but may become a problem in the future. Finally, the article gives ideas on how to earn money on second life These ideas include architect, tour gide and publicist. I believe that this kind of business is a good idea as it can be enjoyable. The fact that anshechung made millions on second life shows us that it is possible and this information spurs a lot of people on to make businesses on second life. The market is even expanding today, This website tells us that in the last seven days, 502,944 new members have applied. (Updated 13th november).
