SL Tour Guide Service for Newcomers

[JingleWorm]

Hi. My name is Roxy. I'm offering a free tour for newcomers or anyone who can benefit from it.

 

Introductory to SL

This Tour involves

• Basic navigation: Learn how to walk, sit, fly, run and teleport.
• What can you do in SL: Information on activities you can do in SL and how to pursue them.
• Why a lot of people give up: Common problems newcomers go through
• Question and Answer
• What is SL: Information on how SL works and what people like about it

We will be going to several locations to show you what SL is all about. 

Message me if interested. Thank you.

Bit of a suggestion.  might want to lower that number on a per basis.  "10" is actaully pretty high. as sometimes. you might meet new people who need a bit more of a tour and help.  it's best to keep the groups smaller or on a 1 to 1 basis.   also make sure you are doing this as a service to the community and not charging folks.  that's just in bad taste to charge.

Have you invited Ebbe and Peter Gray? They couldn't help but benefit from such an introduction.

Alec - to point out what others don't, or won't.

Sounds interesting. I think this is a service that is badly needed.  I have gained what little knowledge I have from reading the forums and other internet resources and going to several newcomer orientation areas. Mostly I've learned from making mistakes. It would have been nice to have had a mentor.

I am very curious as to how you are planning on taking this group around - I attended a class on "How to Buy Real Estate in Second Life" once, and the instructor was getting the students from place to place by having us accept teleports. We lost a few students along the way, as I recall.

Another thought I had was that the best place for your ad would be on one of the Newcomer areas - don't know if the Lindens would let you do that, though. There might also be space at the Info hubs.

Whatever you do, don't put the group on one of those self-driving buses.... 

Good luck!
