How to Get a Second Life

your imagination and organise an event that will bring potential customers to your premises that might not otherwise visit your business. You might hold a fashion show, a talk by an expert (which might even be you once you are established!), bring a well-known figure into SL to do a question-and-answer session or have a party – it’s entirely up to you. Be sure to tailor your event to your target audience. There’s no point holding a speed-dating event if you’re, in fact, selling weapons as you’ll be attracting a different clientele. To list an event you need to do the following: í˘ą Select SEARCH and click on the EVENTS tab. í˘˛ Click on the SEARCH button. í˘ł Select CREATE EVENT. A notice will come up asking you if you want to go to the Second Life events web page. í˘´ Click on OK to go to the Secondlife.com events page. í˘ľ Now select ADD EVENT from the Secondlife.com website. í˘ś You will need to select I AGREE to the rules on creating events. í˘ˇ Add a name for your event. You should be brief, factual and concise here. í˘¸ Next add a description. This should be one paragraph only, and a brief one at that. Remember to reiterate where and when the event is. í˘š You will then need to add the date and time for your event. Remember to put the SL time rather than your RL time zone. You should think about which time is most convenient for as many different time zones as possible if you are trying to get people from all over the world. ě?… You should add a duration for your event. The default is only 10 minutes. ě?ˆ Add a category for your event – whichever fits your event the best.
