If the facemask is a RARE or EXLUSIVE, it’s much more money, but it’s a voluntary donation to our nonprofit charitable organization — it’s not a commercial sale for personal benefit.
We are doing more than ever to help people through terminus and passage, with the coming of Covid. If you need prayer and powerful spiritual help, say something.
Meanwhile…
You can cash in big-time on virtual art, virtual real estate and virtual jewelry right now, today, and you can start out with NOTHING and build it up FAST if you know what to do and how to do it.
My plan is to give you all the facts, and turn you loose on the marketplace.
First of all, the KEY to understanding the business model and mechanics of MILLION DOLLAR VIRTUAL DEALS is that it’s up to YOU to motivate the buyers and eventually the sellers who work for you to sell virtual paintings, drawings, architecture, sculpture, automobiles, jewelry, fashions and hairstyles, just to mention a few.
I’ll enumerate some of the highest potentials for you momentarily, but first, I want to mention that the whole thing revolves around your continual SECURITY, meaning that you NEVER let the combination of the safe go out, not ever, not to nobody, nohow.
What I mean is, if you advertise an item as a one-of-a-kind, you had better take steps to make certain that it can’t be knocked off by a counterfeiter — that means that you’ll have to design these things on a platform that can defend your creator’s rights, which would be Second Life — they have a very aggressive legal team, and they’re on your side as creator — creators are their bread-and-butter.
Virtual real estate deals can actually amount to upwards of L$1,000,000.00 Linden, which in U.S. dollars comes out to only about $3,125.00, at today’s exchange rate, which is a pitiful amount for a piece of original art by a Listed American Artist — that means “Who’s Who” and all that sort of stuff.
Listen, Lindens are traded like dollars. They are a legitimate and recognized form of currency and can be traded for paypal dollars easily and instantly.
An item that sells for L$35,000 Linden would cost about $100.00 in American dollars, and is an amount that I would have turned down in an instant for any of my artwork that sold in galleries from 1959-2001, when I quit the art racket — I mean “business”, of course.
Why did I quit?
I had double surgeries and was a physical wreck, plus the art market plummeted after 9/11 and didn’t recover until 2019. Of course, the Trump Virus Pandemic does throw a wrinkle into the mix.
Who wants art shipped to them right now?
On the other hand, virtual art takes up very little room. I can supply virtual art in a number of forms, but keep in mind that ALL those forms involve electrons whizzing about in every direction.
What I mean is, the closest to physical contact you’ll have with my virtual creations is your cell phone, laptop, tablet, iPad or desktop computer, with the exception of software that’s mounted in wearable flash drive jewelry, like my Godd™ Particle — don’t leave home without it. In fact, don’t leave home at all.
High-End Virtual Products
POWERHOUSE RITUAL GEAR — This can be delivered in Second Life or in Godd™ Particle wearable flash-drive jewelry. Rituals can be performed in Second Life, Godd™ or ZOOM. All my ritual gear goes out with Full Blessings.
PREFAB FULL-SIM — This is a complete custom region that has been designed for the client. My price ranges from L$35,000 Lindens to well over L$1,000,000 Lindens for the all-stops-out model with hundreds of fascinating features and hideaways. There is no limit to what I can do with a FULL-SIM layout — just ask me if I can do it and how much it will cost. I don’t take anything for myself, it’s all for the community benefit.
HAUNTED CASTLE — An entire island covered with haunted grottos and basements and more, all designed to create a classic horror film environment. I include dancing ghosts, performing ghosts and of course haunting hi-jinks spirit manifestations are everywhere. Perfect for Halloween every night of the year.
FURNITURE — I can come up with some truly fancy RARE furniture in FULL PERM that I can texture and modify and make my own. Selling these in RARE or EXCLUSIVE format, you can charge anything you like. One of a kind items can be very expensive on Second Life. I have made a lot of furniture and fixtures, especially for restaurants.
ELVISH INDUSTRIES — Years ago, I had a business where we made custom candelabras for the very rich in Beverly Hills, and I still make them, but now they’re in virtual. I can make the most amazing crystal and wrought-iron candleabras, but they’re very high-ticket, and they have to be, because they are incredibly time-consuming and the detail is not trivial, it’s intense work over a period of hundreds of hours.
SCULPTURE — This is the easiest for me — I majored in Sculpture at Otis Art Institute, and feel very comfortable with the limitations imposed by virtual design, and furthermore, I can teach this skill to others, while the aesthetic skills are already in place — to those, I can add little.
WALL ART — This includes paintings, serigraphs, monoprints, linocuts, woodcuts, engravings, etchings, watercolors, aquatints, graphite drawings, pen and ink sketches, photographs or screenshots, and much, much more.
ANIMAL AVATARS — All sorts of interesting animal forms are available in Second Life and of course, we can make anything we like in Godd™.
BREEDABLES — These are annoyingly needful little creatures that can be planted, potted, hatched or birthed to make more of them, so you can sell them. At some point, you run out of customers, unless your breedable is profoundly CUTE and causes anyone to say, “Awwww” when they catch sight of it. CUTE, not sorta cute.
CUSTOM SIM DESIGN — This is where my client and I get together on ZOOM and decide which elements are most important. I then design the SIM and show it to the client, who might want some changes made. I make the changes and the new sim trades, sometimes for upwards of L$1,000,000 Linden, like I said, sometimes less, but never less than 60K — it’s just not worth it — that’s a lot of work, hundreds of INTENSE hours laboring over it.
LIMITED EDITION ART — This is where you sell the FULL PERM to a client, and they get to manufacture and sell it to others, saving you the trouble of doing retail. Nobody in their right mind ACTUALLY LIKES retail. It’s just a good way to make a living. So you get the FULL PERM, take off the “TRANSFER” to the next owner, and you’re in business. List it on the marketplace and put it in your in-world shop and you’re ready for your first big ticket sale.
MY VERY OWN CASTLE, FORT, PALACE, LOFT or ESTATE — This is a piece of land that your client can either rent or buy from you, furnished with a variety of setups. I will tell you how and where to get those setups when I see your smiling face on ZOOM in our next workshop, and I’ll be only too happy to demonstrate how to go about this.
FULL PERM ANYTHING — There are a million FULL PERM items on the Second Life Marketplace, and you can easily shop them to see what you’d like to make and sell. You have to learn the skills to sell from FULL PERM, but it’s easy to master once you get the basics, which we will cover in every ZOOM workshop.
RARE ITEM — One degree lower than EXCLUSIVE. Rare means that there are only ten or fifteen of them around in dealer hands as FULL PERM to them. Exclusive means there’s only one, period, plus a safety backup in your password-protected inventory.
MAGICAL ITEM — This is something which has no hard-wired price. You can ask anything you like, but be nice, be kind, be fair.
IMMORTAL BODY FOR SALE — Hey, they say “Possession is 9/10ths of the Law”. If so, you should have no trouble getting inside it. Just say, “replace current outfit” and you’ll be someone else entirely, no kidding. A new personality comes with every avatar. Play your cards right, and your new avatar could be your sales rep in lots of graphic ads.
BUSINESS CENTER — Why not have a virtual office and manufacturing plant that someone could come into and visit? Hang artwork for sale on the walls, and you never know what might happen. Place a few “for sale” sculptures here and there, a rock sculpture water feature, perhaps even a tabletop waterfall.
CONVENTION CENTER — Have your next convention in a combination of modalities. Second Life is for major gathering events, ZOOM is reserved for panel discussions and small group presentations, filk singing and of course fans at the book signings. Of course you can publish books in virtual, and you can inscribe and sign them, as well — it’s all about knowing how.
BEAUTIFUL FACE — Of course this is strictly a Second-Life deal — there’s a LOT of beauty stuff hidden away in Second Life, particularly in the arena (consciously chosen term) of cosmetics. You’ll find over a zillion cosmetic tricks in Second Life, and dozens of mavens who are willing to share their secrets with you.
ROLL OF $100 BILLS — Yep, you can get ’em and wear ’em or carry them in your inventory, amass millions or billions of virtual dollars to get the magic going, give the universe the right idea. I even have a LOO roll of $100 bills toilet paper, again of course, only in Second Life, although I could make that up easily for a flash-drive pendant, locket or charm, in silver or gold colored steel, fancy and good-looking product.
MUSEUM OF ANYTHING — There isn’t any kind of museum you’d want to build that you couldn’t do with just what’s available now from creators and vendors on Second Life. I have a line on HUNDREDS of incredible Greek and Roman statues and painted vases, you name it, I got it, including a great GUNSLINGERS OF THE OLD WEST and an oriental museum that you won’t believe, all of which can bring in TOURISTS. Where the hell else can they go?
AIRPLANES — You can do as I’ve done — open a flight school in Second Life, or you could make and sell aircraft, which is the harder way to make a living. Coaching is better than selling anytime of the week.
SAILING — Listen, the wind and water effects in Second Life cost them years of development, and lots of people working on it to make it feel believable when you sail across the wind. Yes, you can tack, and luff and plenty more. I can make a sailboat that sells for millions — well, actually, it’s a giant luxury yacht that takes up almost half a region just in itself, and is not that easy to maneuver, but it CAN be done.
POT O’GOLD — If my Dad Horace had had his way, that’d be my name — Potto Gold, but he relented when Uncle Cliff reminded him of the teasing they had gotten in school over their relatively ordinary names. Well, who doesn’t know about the Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow? So make it and sell it. Pile them up, make them into prizes in a collecting game — there’s tons of scripts on Second Life that make it easy for you to design your own game.
HOLY GRAIL — Everyone’s looking for it, and you’ve found it. Now all you need to do is sell it. One of a kind might work, with an online auction in Second Life, payable in Lindens. The winner pays, the seller sends the item. Easy as pie, speaking of which, we have our next item:
ULTIMATE WEDDING CAKE — You make it, you bake it, you sell it to bride & groom when you arrange for their Second Life marriage in one of my incredible wedding chapels, which you presumably will order from me and own and operate at a profit. Not just weddings, you can do vow renewals, even baptisms of Second Life virtual babies. If you’re into it, you can do the circumcisions — there’s a ceremony, and it takes all kinds of preparation and ritual, all of which are billable events.
ISLAND PARADISE — I build an island paradise, filled with birds, flowers, beautiful clouds and waterfalls, all sorts of features and stunning views. Easily SET the time of day to sunrise, midday, sunset and midnight to get the best effects you want. I guarantee that anyone walking in this environment will be absolutely enchanted, or your money back.
HEAVENLY CHAPEL — Hold VIRTUAL FUNERALS, WEDDINGS, BAR-MITZVAHS and more — all the church and temple events you could ever want to hold, and what’s more, you can publish a SCHEDULE of events at your chapel.
WEDDING CATHEDRAL — Why stop at a chapel? If you want 100-400 guests at your virtual wedding, you’re going to need my help. It takes FOUR FULL REGIONS to stage this, and they COST like hell, about $800 a month to operate that big. With a single region, you can get away with maybe $200 a month in cost. You can’t have a big wedding in a small space.
ULTIMATE ART GALLERY — I make a multi-story art gallery that takes few prims and looks great, gives clear views of the art, and is easy to walk through without confusion or blockage. Each item is priced in Lindens, making a very smooth presentation. You get ALL the proceeds, there are no additional fees. I fill the gallery with a mix of MULTIPLE items and RARE items, with one EXCLUSIVE big-ticket item in the main hall. Total potential revenue? Dunno, could be a lot, depends on YOUR ability to attract visitors to your gallery, which will depend on your coffee-wagon and finger-food services that I put out there to entertain your guests. Make no mistake — virtual art is real, and it’s here to stay, and it can be cheap or expensive, depending mostly on the artist, not the medium.
YANESH’S HAIR SALON & HEALTH SPA — This is a LICENSED full-spa operation designed by famous Bahamas Hair Stylist Yanesh — yes, she actually did that back in the day, and she’s designed hundreds of incredible hairdos for Second Life, and YOU can operate the salon where folks can get dolled up, including all services such as hot tub, sauna, makeup makeover and even some glam fashions and jewelry items at the checkout. You can buy your own franchise of her shop — complete TURNKEY operation. Training is required to operate this responsibly and properly, and it is FUN, FUN, FUN for those with nowhere to go and nothing to do, and that includes you.
MEDIEVAL VILLAGE — Actually, any village. I can make absolutely any cultural setting, and a business mall is easy, anywhere from ancient Babylonia to the most modern mall you’ve ever seen, filled with shops that YOU can operate or rent to others, forming a basis for marketplace listings, which generally have a direct teleport link to the in-world shop. It’s easy to meet folks there, use IM and other conveniences in Second Life to make that happen.
NEW YOU — Start life all over again with a new avatar and a new home in Second Life. There’s nothing quite like having two lives at the same time — gives you a larger footprint in life, time, space and that sort of thing, if you want to burn off a little more karma this time around.
PERFECT BODY — Like the Immortal Body, the Perfect Body is deliverable in Second Life. Program it and dress it any way you like, and take it around to do stuff. Be someone different for a change. Your attitude might just flow into the new you and there you are!
PERFECT PET — You can make or buy FULL PERM a Perfect Pet, with which you can open your very own Second Life virtual pet shop and rescue foundation for unwanted virtual animals — you program them to be lost, then find them, see??? You can combine this idea with Breedables to make your life a busy living hell — babies, babies everywhere.
MERCHANT ROW — Starting with a sleazy bar and finishing with a small neighborhood cafe, this is a quarter-sim of incredible urban living, set up for sales and events. I can make one with a railroad on which you can ride around the entire town. Stores galore, a LOT of them, and great gathering places for crowds if you can get them to come to your space.
RARE TEXTURES — This is a full operation, BUT you have to know all about SL building. Easy to make some serious cash here, but you MUST know what you’re doing and how the market fluctuates and moves among the CMT crowd.
STAR OF INDIA — It could also be the Hope Diamond — any stone that is worthy of naming and gets any press coverage at all is game for this category of stone. You want to name it so it sounds important, and I recommend you DON’T use already existing names, as I just did, unless you’re prepared for an onslaught of bitching, griping and possible lawsuits. Make up a name, and be safe from wolves.
HUMILITY TROPHY — Modeled after my very own “Humble Award” from the 1960s when I sold them by the dozen, this is a Second Life treasure and will appeal to anyone with a sense of humor — definitely not for the Trump type, although the average narcissist will probably order two of them, one in the living room and the other in the garage.
DIAMONDS, DIAMONDS, DIAMONDS — A set of fabulous million-dollar diamonds mounted in a set of necklace, earrings, belt and more, dazzling display, very expensive — L$35,000.00 Lindens for the least expensive. I’ll remind you that that comes to about $100 American.
GENUINE GOLD POCKET WATCH — The Ultimate Experience in Second Life watches, this one keeps actual time and is magical in every respect. A real timestopper, and worth the high ticket price-tag.
ANGER CONTROLLER — A virtual “Anger Controller” comes in handy, if you know how to find one and put it to use. I have the very thing available now in Second Life, and YOU could resell them at a nice profit. It doesn’t have to be for you — you can donate if you like, to make it not for your personal benefit.
DINOSAUR SKIN HANDBAG & JACKET — I make dinosaur skin fashions, as well as extinct and endangered species full-length furs. Of course, you don’t want to wear these among the Hoi-Polloi — they are SO sensitive about their animals. You can also hunt dinosaurs, both in Second Life and in Godd™.
Well, there are TONS more ideas floating about, but these few will get you started thinking in this direction.
If you really want to get started making money in the virtual world, this is the time to do it — there has never been a better time.
People with nothing to do will thank you for making their day just a little more wonderful, just a little bit better, and there’s no better way to STAY IN TOUCH.
Bring a friend to one of our ZOOM meetings. All are welcome!
See You At The Top!!!
