How do I get a job and earn money in Second Life?
Unless the human behind your avatar is seeking substantial work, you don't needa job in Second Life. Work in SL is a personal question of your professional aspirations. Your Second Life should be enjoyable. Like first life, slaving away at a job is notfun.

Do it for the experience!For example, if you're hosting events, you can make new friends and visit cool new builds. Explore t...
What about games?
Second Life containsgames. However, to call it a game on the whole is as inaccurate as saying "the rainbow is red". Most of the skills you learn in Second Life are real.

Are there scams?

Like the old saying goes, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." DON'Tgive out your password if someone promises they'll login and fill your account with L$. That's just dumb! For more tips, see "Safeguarding your account and protecting your password".

It's too hard to do anything
Only if you don't trust yourself. Without hands-on experience, you'll never know. So dive in! I doubted my building abilities early on when I shouldn't have. I kept saying "I can't build!" without doing so. By applying myself each day, I eventually was able to teach 1,000s of Residents how to build. Second Life opened me up to many creative possibilities that had been untapped before. But like I said, don't go for the L$ alone. "Wealth" in healthy lives goes far beyond money (and can indeed,...
