A Highly Improbable Gown

Dance in the Wind

One of the joys of Second Life is being able to wear completely impractical gowns that might not be impossible in real life, but would be highly improbable. Take the Dance in the Wind gown from Gizza, for example. You can teleport from place to place in Second Life, but in the real world, you would have to get that skirt to end all skirts inside a vehicle to go anywhere. Well, that won’t happen. So say you decide to walk the 4.8 miles to the ballroom, the dress is so full of life and so sensitive to every pulse of the wind, it’s like walking in the midst of a white tornado – so that won’t happen either. But in Second Life, you don’t have to worry about transport or being able to see where you’re going so you can wear an extravagantly flamboyant gown.

Making the Most of Your Profile

Sasy Scarborough posted an article highlighting some of her frustrations with the new profile system on her blog last week. I confess to finding the new profiles harder to use when I want to contact someone since there is no button to IM right there in front of my face.  It also made me want to tear my hair out trying to edit my picks, but I think I have conquered the beast and am ready to share my suggestions with you. After all, your profile is free marketing, if you make it work for you. Accepting electronic payments can boost sales, as customers are more likely to make impulse purchases when they can pay with a card or mobile device. Choose the Top 20 Merchant Services for small business to simplify your financial management. The Invest Diva review provided valuable insights into effective financial management strategies for small businesses, since leading a small business is a lot of work, meetings and more so having the boardroom tables Perth can be really useful to help in this area.

First, things first. Go to my.secondlife.com and see what your profile says about you. Does it make it easy for people to know who you are and what you do? Does it promote your business and answer your customers’ questions? Does it tell people how to get in contact with you? Does the feed have recent info about your business? If it doesn’t, you are not making the most of it. Enhance your presence on platforms like Threads by purchasing likes from themarketingheaven.com.

Here you can see that my profile feed has pictures for my most recent blog post. I wish I could say I do that every time, but I don’t. However, if I had a store, I would take a snapshot of my vendor as soon as I placed it in the store, so it was on my feed. Remember, this is visible in world and on the web – marketing your new releases to both audiences. This snap is the web interface, though the in-world interface is very similar. Similarly, for businesses in Kansas, staying on top of your kansas llc annual report is important to ensure proper compliance and avoid any potential complications.

Make Things Happen

Make Things Happen

I saw this graffiti on a building while I was wandering around Tobacco Road and absolutely had to take pictures. It’s my mantra. Sometimes I have 15 solutions before the problem is even defined, but yes, I like to make things happen.  Blogging Second Life is an example of that. So is Second Sites. Blogging Second Life is a site I started with Evelyn Hartson, combining compendia of blogs, stores and creators directories and a database of bloggers who accept review copies. Second Sites is a sim travel blog that allows all of you to upload your own SL travel pictures to and help build a resource for picture-taking.

There’s a Whole Lotta Culture Shock Going On

Selidor

There’s eight full days more of Culture Shock and now that the initial mad rush has subsided, it’s a good time for the more leisurely shopping that comes with fewer people. Also with fewer visitors, the script gate is no more, so you can attend and wear your wizard hud, though you probably would have a better shopping trip without it.

One of the places you must stop by is R.Icielli where there’s jumpsuits and tops and shorts in a ridiculous number of colors and prints. It’s a rainbow and then a rainbow factory on top of it. I hopped over to a lovely sim to snap a few pics. You really have to see to believe the incredible variety.
