Earn
$60K Annually, Selling Virtual Clothes?
by Michael Haaren
The Internet is
creating some unpredictable and interesting ways of making a primary or
secondary income. Most recently, in the Washington Post, we read of
Veronica Brown, a 44-year-old who earns about $60K annually designing
and selling clothes in the popular virtual world, Second Life. (Her
business, however, like others, is not without its ups and downs, as the
article explains.
Lest you think Second Life is just something for the trendsetters or
the hip, IBM, Wells Fargo, Toyota, Dell, Coca Cola, and many other
large companies are active there, and “Big Blue” is opening 12
“islands” in Second Life this month.
IBM says its Second Life real estate, in an ironic twist, may be used
in part to create “virtual branch offices” for its many employees who
work remotely, and no longer commute to “real” IBM offices. In other
words, “virtual” IBM employees – in the form of avatars – will be
“virtually” commuting – by clicks of a mouse – to a “virtual branch
office” on the Internet, to recapture the social-corporate benefits
they enjoyed before the same underlying electronic tools enabled them
to quit the actual office.
