Is it possible to get paid linden in SL?

Hi, I was just wondering if it was possible to earn linden in SL. Like in a job or something.

Of course.  Take a look at this Guide to Jobs in Second Life.  It's a pretty good overview.  You'll find that most people who earn L$ are self-employed, either as creative artists or performers, or as merchants.  We don't need middlemen and shop clerks as much as RL does.  You can be almost anything, and many "jobs" don't require a lot of cash outlay to get started.  Just talent and time.

Time is the big thing, though, so give it serious thought.  If you don't like working, why would you want to spend your "vacation" time in SL doing it?  You can't earn very much for your time in SL, certainly not compared to what you can earn in the same amount of time in RL.  Even those of us who are pretty successful as creators and merchants could probably do better by bringing cash in world with us.  We work mostly because we enjoy it.  If that's your motivation, go for it.

Yes, but as Rolig says, in most cases it's not the best use of your time.  See my blog post, "Jobs".

Seems like if you have to ask, the answer's probably no.
