How to Advertise?

[Syle Devin]

So if you sell things, with at least some success, how do you advertise what you sell? Or if you don't need to advertise how did you advertise? I'm a custom mesh creator in and out of SL. I want to sell any mesh I make, inside of SL as a builders tool, but my knowledge of advertising in SL is small. Does anyone have any tips or resources?

Thank you for your time!

Yes ... that link. 

People will search the marketplace: make your titles really clear and descriptiver. Make your pictures clear, well-lit and from several angle. 

 

Include a texture map, if appropriate, so I can see where the surfaces fall on your item and make my life easier as a texture creator.

There are also hardings/billboards in some SIMs which you could consider using.

Advertising a Service in SL

I have noticed that Second Life like the internet generally seems to be geared towards those wanting to sell merchancise rather than a service (marketplace does not seem to cater for service providers), Suposing you wanted to provide in SL a common service in RL such as an employment agency or accomosation finding agency how would you advertse?

Would you be permitted some kind ogf mass mailingor have to rely soloely on placing classified ads and maybe billboards in some SIM that permits these?
