Get a second life
Just read an article which Cressy found in 'Woman' magazine about a single mum from Manchester who looks set to earn £25,000 in her first year trading online as a 'virtual furniture designer'. According to the article, Lisa (34), gave up her £15,000 a year job at British Gas to set up a virtual company in an online virtual world called Second Life.
Apparently more than 2 million people have joined the online community where users can create a new identity, called an avatar, and explore a virtual world. Second life has its own currency, the Linden dollar, and the exchange rate is currently around 275 Linden dollars to one US dollar. Users can trade online and exchange real money for Linden dollars and vice versa via a Paypal account.
It all sounds a little odd, but a lot of fun, and there so appear to be many people making real money this so I'm certainly going to look into it. Anyone interested in finding out more can do so at http://secondlife.com/ and I'll post again after I've had time to investigate further.
