Thank you very much for all of your replies. So much changes over the years, and I've been out of SL for quite some time. Thanks for the information regarding $L conversions. I didn't know about the rounding errors. I honestly don't remember them before but then, it has been quite some time.
From what I'm hearing, 2 to 2.5$L would be the conversion for writing services. That's actually good info because I can use that to multiply out the pay for other positions as well.
Okay... so second question if you guys are so inclined.
A long time ago, I used to use a variety of advertising methods. I did the whole banner advertising, magazines, radio, etc. I've been told that this area of SL has changed greatly. What do you guys recommend for advertising?
Thanks for all of your assistance!
