Fall Sales, A New Business and Getting Back in the Groove


 I feel like I'm finally getting my Second Life back on track. I sort of got carried away with the whole strip club debacle, spending more money than I should have and thinking I "needed" things I really did not. It's been a challenge moving from my rented homestead back to a 4096 parcel of mainland, but to be honest, I missed living among, at least the potential for, neighbors. 

I did give in and do a little light shopping. Kaithleen's and Tarte are both having really nice fall sales. I picked this bench swing up from Tarte, left over from the weekend sale. I'm always on the lookout for cute furniture with cuddly poses (my significant other is a real cuddle monkey.) It fit in nicely with the witchy corner I've carved out of our beach property. A steal at L$60.

When I first returned to SL after a long absence, I flipped a lot of land to make money. I would use the tier free 1024sqm that I got with my premium account, find parcels that size to sell for a profit and rez my little sky island over it as a temporary home until it sold. It was during this time that I discovered that I could spend endless hours scouring the map, looking for available land and teleporting around to visit the different areas of mainland. 

Remembering those days and figuring out how to turn that into a lucrative business was a challenge and was how SL Land Source was born. Each week I look for two parcels that are for sale on the mainland, one small and one large that meet at least two of the following criteria:

  • Amazing view

  • Road access

  • Water access

  • Near a GTFO hub or other rez zone

  • One protected boundary


I don't accept payment for land to be featured on the site, but I do offer advertising space for Real Estate, Landscaping and Rental businesses as well as individual resident land sales.

I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

Anywho, I'm going to go decorate my new office space. Without buying anything new. Hopefully.

How are you living your best Second Life? Let me know in the comments below!
