Good News!!.. After so many days of filling up applications for jobs.. I have finally got a job as a hostess at Sister of Merci.. I love the work... Dancing.. Chatting... making people feel at ease.. its so much fun.. I just finished my first shift yesterday.. :).. I get a salary of L$100+tips..:D..The club is a females only one though..

Another thing is I get to teach building classes at Crated Classes. Crated Classes are paid building tutorials owned by my friend, Razz Jessop.. She conducts free and paid classes.. I need to get my class notes ready soon..I don't find enough time to do it and also my net connection has been crappy at best. I get paid 50% of the tips.. I love the job here not because of the pay, but because of the opportunity to learn:).. The New Year starts with a bang for me in SL.. Hope this continues:)..

Gotta go before I get disconnected.. *Smiles.. Have a great day guys:)..

You make money in Second Life as in Real life , working.. but newbies less than a month old don't find jobs easily. Most people recruit avatars at least one month old.. So one way of making few bucks at the beginning is by camping.. It doesn't make much.. but it is nice to have something rather than nothing in your wallet :).. ahem I mean virtual wallet of course..I have been scouting around for good paying camping spots.. and did find few but they tend to disappear after sometime .. grrr :(..

Anyway these are the ones I do frequent and are available right now (It sure works when I visit the places :))..

Loans

This is one of my favorite ones.. You can easily guess why.. Its the best deal I have seen till now in Second Life (as far as I have explored anyway) :).. You earn here by dancing on pads and rates vary from L$1 to L$8 per 10 to 20 minutes. And one drawback is you can't use again the dance pad you have just been paid by for next 24 hours.


Viper Skins

Here you need to just log in the camping board and you earn L$2 per 15 minutes as long as you are within 90 meters of the board. The maximum amount you can make is L$30. I use this place only when I need some time to clean up my inventory a bit:)... I park myself there and go through my closet..Camping sure has its uses (other than the obvious) :D..When you need to go just log out by touching the board again.The area is a Mature one. So advance warning.


September Rain

Ahh.. when you get to the Cafe you get a notecard clearing explaining its rules. You earn L$1 per 10 minutes. The following information I have taken from their Notecard. But one thing... you can explore the whole sim, shop, meditate, chill out and dance and meet people while earning money here:).. thats what I call a cool deal :D

Thank you for Camping at ~September Rain~ a couple things to note


1. With this camping system you are able to freely roam the sim and explore, dance, and shop while earning money doing so. so first and foremost please ENJOY ~September Rain~

2. If you leave the sim, you will automatically be logged out of this system and payed

3. To manually log out simply return to the Cafe and click the board again.

4. Please do not "double-dip" which means you are logged onto this system and also sitting in a camping chair. Failure to abide by this rule will result in banning you from the camping system

5. This system has an "anti-AFK" system that will randomly ask you questions that you must answer to continue to be logged in and making money. If you wish to camp and be AFK that is fine but please use the CAFE TABLE CAMPERS and not this system.

All the camping places I have listed above don't need you to join a group.There are many others I have seen which require joining groups. My groups list is always full so I don't generally use those kind of places :)..

See you soon I hope.. anyway RL calls:)..

As a newbie I was anxious to spruce up my wardrobe.. but without any money :).. And thats hard in SL as in RL.. So I went on a freebie hunt.. and this search is continuing even now :)..

Few of my favourite stores ( but not the only ones.. I haven't explored the entire Second Life yet :)) are listed below. Click on the place name to get the SlUrl of that place..

Free Dove
All free stuff here (only L$0) including clothes, accessories, avatars for men and women. I found few cool goodies here :)...The place is worth visiting.

Milky 9
Wow.. this is a huge place.. But stores are also present .. those are the ones boxing in the freebie area. You have got 2 floors worth of stuff here and on the third floor you have the changing room I believe. The floor plan is available in the center so its pretty to navigate to find specific items..Whatever you want you can get it here.. But it takes time rez.

Freebie Dungeon
This place is aptly named... Boxes full of avatars, skins, shapes,clothes,textures,furniture,buildings and the list goes on.. My friend Rapture introduced me to this place and I should say I felt like Christmas had come early for me :D..

There are a couple more places but mostly the free items get repeated.. I visit every last one of them to see if any new item has been added.. And beware of griefers at all times..

I couldn't post earlier due to work in RL.. I want to talk about Dreamland.. I came across their main office RGF quite by chance.. And that was one of my luckiest moments.. They had a Newbie program to give a house and conduct classes for new comers.. The sim dedicated to this venture, Dreamland has filled up and they are not accepting any more new persons now.

While I was around 2 weeks old I got into their Learn Avatar program and maintained a house till now. I have given back the house allotted to me so that other newbies can benefit from it.

While I used it, it was nice to have a house to come to at the end of RL work :)..

A few pictures of my SL home(former)..The one above is my living room...
