From: Jauani Wu

don't be demoralized. instead of hiring a scriptor, make them a partner.

I did this with my Personal Reminder Devices (sorry plug). I knew *exactly* what I wanted, I also knew how I wanted to market them, and the looks I wanted them to have. But I knew the scripting aspect was going to be years away for me (I can make a door swing and I can make an elevator go a certain height, that's it!.. hehe). So I mentioned the idea to a friend of mine who is a great scriptor, and now with every sale I pay him a percentage of what I make (which I sort of had to twist his arm to take..

). He is also given credit for the script with the product, which I hope in some small way at least gains him additional recognition as a scriptor.

If the product doesn't sell, neither of us makes anything. But when it does, it benefits us both!

Blaze: What do you do/sell to make a million Lindens a month? I have never seen a product or service provided by you.

I guess I need to get out more.

Right now I don't make that much, but I haven't been able to be in world that often.

In time, I'm certain that I will. Making money in SL is still pretty easy.

Not as easy as it used to be, from what I can gather, but the window of opportunity is still open for now.

Not sure who you're talking to Nolan, but if it is me you may wish to re-work your math.

Yeah, multiply by 12 not 52 DOH!

Still 48K, still, not too shabby. So it was a silver mine!
