The joy of being a sim Owner on SL

JAG decided to buy Agina Island when it was put for sale while Saki & I decided to give up the club. Even though we had fun with the club and we got to meet so many people, we had to spend so much time on Second Life as we did everything ourselves, and the club was costing us a fortune… It did took away a bit of fun of being on SL as we did not have much time for anything else but managing the club even when we slowed down and had less parties going on….lol But we have learned so much that we will be totally ready for another virtual venture one of those days…

But now I had another Second Life job: Agina Island Estate Manager! I don’t think JAG & I realised how much work there would be owning a sim… So we found ourselves a bit challenged and with a few disagreements on top of it, JAG was even ready to re-sell Agina Island. But we also have some very supportive friends like Saki…. and it helped so much. And we are now seriously considering expanding Agina by buying a second sim…

The joy of managing a sim…
Besides fixing doors and sand, looking for objects residents lose lol we sometimes also have to put up with “angry” residents who leave their rubbish on our doorstep….

Sometimes we realize there is too many collisions on the sim so we have to find out the cause to avoid lag or even the sim crashing…. and we find it is just some llamas lying under the sea left by our residents….

Sometimes we all have to put in and help the boss get home when he is a bit drunk… (thanks Kahlan)

We do take the time to meet our new residents and we enjoy the get-together…

But best of all, how often do you go home to find the sim owner wearing a rubber duck floaty in your pool??? Priceless!!!

On top of having fun on SL, you can also work or own a business. The main job you will find on SL are djs, hostess, dancers, Estate managers or you can own a business like a shop, a nightclub or own a sim and sell/rent parcels…

I really wanted to own a shop but I am not a creator and don’t want to be… and as i was looking around I found this club for sale. I absolutely loved the place and decide to buy it. And with it came the learning… owning a business like in real life is not easy and can be expensive…

So you own a club and you have to hire djs that you have to pay. The djs get paid and also get tips. As a club owner you are hoping to also get tips which never quite make it to cover the cost of the djs. You have to make sure the club has other income revenues but mainly clubs do not generate big profits. The price of hiring a djs defers and some are very expensive.

It is also lots of work as you have to be there most of the time and if you don’t you can hire a host but then it is an extra expense which you have to make up for and usually host take tips too… so in the end the club rarely get any tips which makes it hard if you don’t have the financial to support the club.

I had just started and was ready to give up.
