ill start this off by saying that it wood be easy to advertise to furries who go to things like VancouFur or who buy stuff on sites that sell cosplay items andwho post on yiff forums (spellchecked)

Somebody said this was the answer to grow sl to do it you need to no who the titely focused groups are who enjoy sl and then wear you could advertise to attract people from the real world i have another idea about what you could do to them when they join to but perhaps in this thread you coud suggest a group and wear to advertise in real life one group each post please but as many advertising places as you like (spellchecked) since people dont seem to understand what micromarketing is hear is an explanation

Did you get stuck? Did Mr. Spigott not bother to mention that the Frobisher and Gleason Ice Lolly was technically one of your wishes? i find it intrestign to veiw ishues from a diffrent mindset evryboddy else seems so stuck in the same old groove and as the poor ilitrate fisherman said to the devil i have no sole to sell

slashdot is discussing a talk at the games developers conference this week about Getting Misogyny, Racism and Homophobia Out of Gaming somebody commented "These guys are selling fantasy. I want my fantasy hot and sexy, otherwise I'll go watch porn and not bother with the stupid game play, or obnoxious time-sink quests or the obnoxious early teen goofs who get off on being jerks. My life is full of more than enough reality, I want to buy some misogyny and sexism, not some PC-BS. This is what keeps me sane and provides a catharsis so I don't do this stuff in real life." do you think he is the target market for the current ll campaing

And we need to broaden our concept of RP -- even if all you have is your avatar, there are many ways to be creative with that. We have long known that SL attracts creative people (and playful people). I would go so far as to say that uncreative people would overwhelmingly not find SL at all attractive, at least not for long. (That does not, however, mean that everyone who doesnt find SL attractive is uncreative.) But we will miss how much creativity there is in SL if we do not recognize the construction of RP environments of all kinds as a creative endeavor. i agree pam but i think that their shoud be space aswell for peeple who do not wantto pretend they shoud have a moral contnent wear evrybody has avitars that look like there real life bodies and they shoud promise to always tell the truth and use displaynames that are there real life names and not fly or use alts to fool peeple

sometimes this sort of thing hapens becuase of sunspots with hi-energy neutrinos changing the sign of the charge on individual bits in your computers memmory have you checked that nobody has stolen any lead off your roof resently as lead is a good insolator against sunspots my babys daddy always tells me to hit the big red button but maybe your computer doesnt have one

The OP questions how to SELL what already exists. The rest of this Forum, and many of the others, deals with how to fix what already exists. Which is why I've been questioning the value of trying to sell SL at all. If I had a defective, misdirected or uncompetitive product, the last thing I'd do is try to make more people aware of it. I'd go quiet (which costs nothing), work like mad to get the thing to a marketable state, then start making noise again. Although I have my opinion about whether SL is defective (yes), misdirected (yes) and uncompetitive (yes), I have little certainty that my opinion reflects reality. I've gone through most of my life harboring vastly different opinions than the general public. I am not typical. I'm probably attracted to atypical people. So I don't think I know who SL is suited for, nor whether there are enough of them to support SL's growth if only they knew about it. While we continue to repeat Rosedale's mantra of "Your World, Your Imagination" here, Philip is now all about "emotional bandwidth" over at High Fidelity. see it isnt just me

Dillon Levenque wrote: Most people believe the poor retention rate is a result of SL's steep learning curve and the lack of a really coherent introductory or tutorial sequence. most peeple have failed disastrusly to do anything about retension despite spending lots of time and money and using peeple who were supposed to be experts at that sort of thing i say it is becuase the marketing sold something that sl isnt and peeple found out quickly you have to sell something that peeple want that you can deliver

Dillon Levenque wrote: Not really. The OP questions how to SELL what already exists.

bah for peeple who agree with your world your imagination you are not showing much you are all thinking inside thebox and trying to wrk out how to fix what already exists instead of starting with what youve got you should be thinking if sl didnt exist what would you want it to be then sell that

i think peeple shoud have to complete tests to get access to different parts of second life liek they should have to pass a speling test to get to the oxbridge university place and peotry tests to get to go to loveydovey places and flying tests to go to fishing places and jesticlation tests to go to discos and building tests to go to places where you can build and if you fail the tests you can go to places were kid avatars live

LaskyaClaren wrote: Vick Forcella wrote: If you look who invested most into Second Life, it's not Linden Lab. If you look who would benefit most from new clients, it's not Linden Lab. The answer to both questions is, The Clients. So from that perspective, who should be most responsible for Advertising? It's the clients. There are not many client initiatives when it comes to Marketing and Advertising and I'm kinda surprised by that. Perhaps the step to do so is too big. There should be a client driven initiative that Linden Lab could support and help. Some sort of platform where clients pay to get their ads shown outside Second Life so that new clients would go to those places and spend their money there. I LOVE this idea!! Why on earth not? becuase the sl marketplace doesnt work

LaskyaClaren wrote: This from someone called "Pep" on my feed: As an aside, the main problem that LL has in marketing SL is the fragmentation of the "Community". Pep (No, you can't effectively target with a blunderbuss - but it is ridiculous that in an age of personalisation that LL doesn't run a multiplicity of tailored campaigns.) YES!!! can you ask that pep guy to use some shorter werds so the rest of us can understand waht hes saying [That request was relayed via me from the offices of LL's PR and Marketing Department]
