  1. I'm looking for commerical space in high traffic areas. Preferably, message me (can we do that on this forum? lol); otherwise, post here. Any type of area is fine. I need good positions and traffic, Thanks!
  2. Hire a marketing expert. That's what I do. I setup businesses in SL as a hobby, so I have limited time. Saying that though, with the right marketing, you can take even a hobby to 3 figures (USD) on a daily basis. The key is to think outside of SL as well as within. Get someone who can grow traffic and PR to your business beyond SL. That's where you make the money.
  3. Apologies for my own delayed response! I've been sidetracked by other things of late, but I've recently put this into the hands of my web developer. In the absense of a web api (something we really need; ala Fb apis), you're left with 2 alternatives: 1. Link your website to marketplace listings; 2. Use whatever merchant system you like (ie Paypal) and somehow transfer files upon payment. I must admit, I like the second option. Not that I wish to do LL out of anything, but instant payments to my bank account (well, pretty much instant) would be super. The tricky part, and maybe my web developer or a clever soul here can help, is sending the products to the buyer in-world once payment has been receives, say, via paypal. Maybe there's a marketplace item that can achieve this? Even if we have to approve sales manually? Anyway - when I know more, I'll update here and happily share what I know and perhaps give you an example of the site that I have made. K
  4. It helps more than some. That was a superb answer. Thank you for taking the time to help me out. I'm just digging around Textures R Us now and getting ideas. Thanks!
  5. It's complicated to explain. Suffice it to say, it will drive far more sales.
  6. I'm looking for some insight, if possible. Is there a way to integrate SL products into an online e-commerce store? I run a few different companies, one being a web design and development agency. So - in short - I know my way around traditional e-commerce. Is there a way for me to integrate SL billing into the traditional structure? So when someone views the products, they can pay with lindens and receive the items in-world. I've scoured SL products and LL for relevant software and come up with zilch. Thanks in advance. K.
  7. Wow: there are some really old avs here. I wish I could have been around SL in the early years. Does anyone have any stories of what it used to be like? Or screenshots?
  8. Do you use anything like Norton Antivirus? It seems more a firewall / connection issue, given the fact that you've tried the other things I might have mentioned.
  9. LL need to jump on the spam issue. SL is such an easy target, it's crazy.
  10. Yes, it's not possible to do this. And if, by some miracle of programmer it became possible, LL would soon close the exploit.
  11. Thank you, Czari!! I only reallized it this morning when my wife told me. I was making us breakfast and she said, "Happy 5th birthday." To which my response was a tired, "Huh, what?" Haha Amazing how time flies when you're having fun!
  12. I created my first avatar 5 years ago today. How long have you been in SL?
  13. You have to work on a commission basis. Trust me: I've tried fixed payments and it doesn't work.
  14. Start out by inviting your friends over to hang out. This way, when newcomers arrive, the place isn't deserted. Then employ typical SL marketing tactics: banners, encourage word of mouth, classifieds. Think outside of SL, too.
  15. This sounds awesome and the pics look amazing. I missed Woodstock (wasn't born!), so why not go to Hippiestock? Cool!
  16. I would hate for you to think I was nitpicking, but you're still missing the point. You see, the app itself is limited when it comes to creating (even if we ignore issues of FPS). The iPad (in my case) and the app COMBINED do, however, descrease - perhaps even nullify - the limitation. For example: Win 8 allows me to connect to the internet, and does so well, but it requires the combination of Windows 8 and a keyboard and mouse. You see? The point that you're overlooking is that most people who use Splashtop won't go ahead and buy the necessary accessories to make it a more robust meschanism for SL creating. Making the app limited for creating in SL.
  17. I was going to mention this encryption issue today. You beat me to it!
  18. Haha . . . obviously if you attach devices to the iPad (or, in your case, phone) you have the same creating facilities. All you're doing is accessing a remote computer. It's essentially no different than hooking in a keyboard and mouse to your PC rig. So, you're missed the point, I think. The point being - if you simply use a table (or phone) creating with Splashtop is hindered. Aside from that, though, it works very well otherwise!
  19. That's right: no need to include your payment info - although I would say it's advised anyway.
  20. Thanks for this. I've scouting new places to play in SL. I'm heading over to you now.
  21. You have to think out of the box. My advice: treat your store the way you would a website; and market accordingly.
  22. I'm interested in this, too. Thanks for the Combat Samurai Island recommendation. I'll be checking that out in a moment!
