I need your QUALITY freebies! I've just done a massive expansion of freebie paradise (again) and I'm looking for lots of new items to fill it up with. Each category now has it's own building. While it's still a work in progress,
it's time to get new designers in!
What does offering a $0L (I don't do the $1L thing) do for you?? Quality well made items that are given out as freebies can provide amazing advertisement when packed well with a landmark and note card. Freebie Paradise gets a traffic rating of 13,000 to 20000 daily. It helps establish your name and get landmarks out and about. Trust me I know this well. If you take care of a new player, they will remember you later in there SL. Offering a freebie also helps out the community, and helps give a new player a good start. Players who have a satisfied start are more likely to stick around.
My freebie guidelines..
Yes I have rules for offering freebies. I have a theory that freebies at my place should be quality items, and not the typical "Well it's not good enough to sell so I'll just throw it at some newbs" type freebies. Look at the item. If it's not something that you would wear or use yourself, don't expect a newb to want to either. Plus what ever you hand out is often a persons first impression of your quality of work and items.
*Items given to me must have copy and transfer rights. Both the box they are in, and the items within the box. I redistribute them as no transfer unless otherwise specified. Or to make it easier just message me in world
for a group invite and place it yourself while keeping your perms.
*No strictly advertisement items such as basic t-shirts with a club name on them.
*Items need boxed in boxes sized 2.5x2.5x0.2 with no floating text unless it's a mixed item box. Boxes filled with lots of random items now have their own area and I (or you) just add them to the mixed boxes area.
*If items are not boxed I will make a box and texture and package them myself. If this is the case
sometimes it takes me months to get it out or I forget altogether. I don't do that intentionally
I just get sidetracked easily or they get lost in my inventory.
*Items must be set at $0L. I don't allow $1L freebies. I like items to be $100% free since most players start out with $0L now.
I'm looking for items in the following categories.
mens clothes girls clothes boxed textures footwear skins houses, buildings, furnishings, and landscaping hair accessories skins tattoos and body parts full avatars & furry stuff mixed boxes (anything that doesn't fit or another category or is not boxed 2.5 x 2.5 goes here)
Basically anything and everything!
If anyone has anything to offer I'd appreciate it. Just message me inworld for a group invite to place an item or drop it on me!
P.S. My apologizes to anyone who gave me a freebie in the past that I didn't get out in time. For a long time I had too much on my SL plate and Freebie Paradise paid the price in neglect especially if it was an item I needed to make a texture for. Now I'm concentrating all my attention to making it a better freebie area.

I didn't know you would take houses. I always figured anyone could build a box. I've been thinking about offering mine as a freebie as a few people have made very encouraging comments. It's probably too big for the average new resident's needs however. But I guess oldbies like freebies too. Since it only took me like two years to build it, I figure another couple of months I may even have it boxed. Is there a deadline?

Interesting idea.
What size house would be cool to give out? I'll go through my inventory or even make one just for the purpose.
Would a nice 14 room palace do?
Just kidding a bit, I'll find something that is a good representation of my store inventory.

I suppose something from behind the content divide curtain is out of the question?? I only sell smut and I don't really think it's appropriate to clean it up as it will misrepresent what the shop is. but if you're happy to have a little back room with some more adult stuff I'll see if I can round the troops up to kit it out for you.

Anyone can build a box, just like anyone can build a perfect ball gown. I've got a few things to relay on myself.

I noticed sometimes boxes with no mod aren't letting me set them as no trans so if you don't want things handed out with copy/trans just message me for a group invite to place them.
Speaking of boxes, How you doing over there Brenda *wink wink*

From: Brenda Connolly /me anxiously awaits a LM to Sarah's Little Back Room don't hold your breath, by the look of it the backroom is a bit too racy. I didn't think to ask what the maturity setting was. if the place is pg then there's no way she could put out saucy items anyway.

I re-arranged the whole sim and have to keep the sim under mature now. If I went adult it wouldn't be any help for new players. I still need to sensor the skins though. I'll do that today.

I'll do that today. I put in two skins yesterday and drew 'boxes' over the fun parts in the image. If that's not enough, let me know.  - I saw a good few boobie pics in the women's area though, which I am really unclear about w/r to mature land. In the last meeting with Blondin, he expressly said that nude pics of skins was allowed. As for adult - there are plenty of roadside parcels up for sale on Zindra these days. A row of 480s in one area (5500L each), 3 512s near my Zindra plot (going for 7200 though), and some 1008s (for around 10000L). All enough to put a 'backroom' - and even have it be open. There are also many non roadsides in the 3000-4500L range.

Wouldn't happen to have landmarks or sim names, even? Sarah, I will try to send some things.
