Short Essay Introduction

According to Linden Research Incorporated, “nearly $35 million U.S. dollars are traded between second life residents monthly”. Linden Research Incorporated also stated that, “over $100 million U.S. dollars worth of Linden dollars (Second Life currency) were bought and sold on the Lindex (Second Life stock market) during 2008”. Second life entrepreneurs are able to buy and sell almost anything that they can create. In fact, there are thousands of businesses in Second Life. All of this may be hard to comprehend, but with claims of people who have made over a million dollars in profit in less than three years, it is worth investigating further. I spent some time researching several businesses in Second Life and was impressed by what I discovered. Second Life has a thriving economy with business opportunities limited only by your imagination such as 3D animations, video production, and fashion designing.
