I’ve decided to stop doing everything I hate about SL and go back to doing everything I love. All the things connected to having a business are actually things I hate:
Having to decide what the best way is to advertise. Deciding where to rent a store or if I should own land. Agonizing over how much is cost for me to have land, when I’m having financial difficulties in RL. Deciding what rights the products should have and how the sales posters should look.
What I do love to do in SL is to meet nice people. I love to create things. Take snapshots of nice environments and to explore. I love the live music scene and to go to events. And I also love it when people like what I create. And it’s because of that I’ve decided to give away my products for free. I’ll stop selling them on Xstreetsl too. I’m still not certain of how I’ll do this because I don’t have a store in worlds and the freebies section in Xstreet is quite over crowded.
I have some ideas about how to do it. I thought I would give one thing away once a week. All free, not even for one linden. I could advertise them on the blog and then deliver them in worlds for those who contacts me. And you can “pay” me in pics of you using the product. Wearing the clothes or having the artwork or furniture in your house. That would make me so much happier than a few lindens.
I’ll give this some thought and I’m happy to get input from my readers about how to do this.
Apart from giving my things away, I’ll get back to exploring SL. I used to do that a lot, but I seem to have stopped doing it along the way somewhere. I’ll write about my “trips” here in the blog and post the Slurl so you all can go visit if you want. And I’ll start finding new and interesting artists too to go and listen to. Any suggestions?
