If you go to their site there's just a godaddy.com parked page. And their link in my lower right hand column isn't showing up anymore. Anyone know the dish on what the deal is?
Chloe: When did you start on SL and how did you stumble upon it?
Starfleets: I was in a RP clan that played Halo PC and one of my friends invited me into the game to show me how to make some money iRL. It turned out he was a crappy realestate agent,
Chloe: Tell us what you do here in SL...
Starfleets: Well I used to run my store, SFD, but its not been getting much attention recently and sales are nonexistant.. I recently was picked up by Loki Dancer, owner and operator of Dirty Lynx and have been modeling for him and his store ever since (and actually making some L)
Chloe: How did you get started with that?
Starfleets: Well my first week iSL was building... then I found sex... no more building... got bored of sex... took it back up.
Chloe: What advice can you give to our readers who are also interested in becoming successful in your field? Were there mistakes you made that they can avoid? Something or things you did *right* that catapulted your success?
Starfleets: Honestly, I wasnt doing well at all for over a year... then I took the initiative.. searched "urban" went to every place on the list that was a store, right clicked the first thing i saw, and IMed the creator and asked for a job.
Chloe: Approximately how much $L did it cost for you to start your business, and how long did it take for you to turn a profit?
Starfleets: Well nothing, per say, for the first year i sold on SLX, over that entire year I made 50KL, every L spent back again on advertising. About a month ago, Loki gave me the option to sell my items on the same land as Dirty Lynx while I was working for him. It hasn't done much better in world either, but just one item for Loki brings in 2k a week, and I only make a percentage of that. One thing that i would suggest is that you have a large product line before you start. That or join a large store that already has a customer base.

Starfleets:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
I'm wondering what you all think of this trend? Speak out in the comments section!
