Building Costs in Second Life
After crayon’s exposure in the Wall Street Journal this week, I got a question from a listener focusing on the quote about how much it costs to build a presence in Second Life. My answer plain and simple is “it depends.”
So, I took this episode and tried to give a sort of building concerns in Second Life 101. Focusing on things that marketers and individuals should think about when building in SL and more importantly buying land with the intent of building. I talk about the difference between buying an island and buying land anywhere else in SL. This isn’t just for big businesses but really anyone who might want to set up shop.
I talk from my personal experience and what people have told me as well. It is NOT meant to be the end all answer to the question so please provide more feedback in the comments because I believe that it takes the voice of the community to really get the answer your looking for. I’m sure I forgot some things or said something unclear. That is what happens when you podcast live.

I also announce CaseCamp Second Life which will be happening on December 14, 2006 at the Crayonville Amphitheatre. I believe I forgot to mention the date on the podcast. Silly me! I’m very excited for this event and look forward to trying a new medium such as this for this event. It’s going to be a lot of fun.
