Entitled <I>The Entrepreneur's Guide to Second Life</I>, it stands as a comprehensive examination of <I>Second Life</I> business basics, largely based on the input of selected residents of the virtual world. The <I>Guide</I> speaks in a language even <I>Second Life</I> newbies can understand, and offers practical solutions to common commerce challenges. Thankfully, Daniel hasn't penned a "get rich quick" manuscript, but rather offers a balanced look at what goes in to making real money from in-world entrepreneurship--in short, a hell of a lot of work.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.secretlair.com/index.php?/clickableculture/C90/"> It was <A href="http://www.secretlair.com/index.php?/clickableculture/entry/3000_second_life_businesspeople_make_20k_annually/">only a year ago</A> that a <A href="http://www.popsci.com/popsci/technology/7ba1af8f3812d010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html">reported</A> 3,000 SL residents were earning at least $20k USD annually in-world.
