I made a few freebies to help boost traffic for some friends and posted the items on marketplace for $10L (with a link to get the items for free inworld) and still make anywhere from $70-100L per day.<br /><br />Parcel traffic isn't always the best indicator of how well a product is selling--just ask my poor friends who are hosting my freebie boards, waiting for the crowds to trickle in.Edie Shorelandhttps://my.secondlife.com/edie.shorelandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832856331341326887.post-84416078503251187532011-10-06T23:14:53.208-07:002011-10-06T23:14:53.208-07:00Interesting albeit apocryphal.

My visit was random but there were only about 5 people there (that's actually quite good for an SL store). So, let's say 40% of the customers buy something. At, again let's say 50 customers an hour, that would be 20 sales per hour at 25L which is 500L or $2 per hour. Ok, looking good, that's (given that the day is not continuous but timezones vary) maybe 5000L per day or $20 per day. What's the cost of the shop ? I guess they are making maybe some money but not very much. Of course, my estimates are all questionable. Especially the 40% buy rate!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780090361629877779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832856331341326887.post-36314701110163937622011-10-06T17:25:33.896-07:002011-10-06T17:25:33.896-07:00that store was "going out of business" w...that store was "going out of business" with that sale for about 6 months (long enough to roll my eyes with every "CLOSING SALE!!!!" notice), and then I guess she was still making money so she just left it all available.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
