I tried looking everywhere for some type of walkthrough on how to start your own SL store, but nothing. Can someone please help? I just would like to know how you start one up, list it, etc. I'm a fast learner so I could pretty much pick it up if started, ty.

I have a notecard that lists sales tips for how to start a store and make sales if you want to contact me in game.

You can just put out the store kit that comes in your library on your first land, if you've purchased first land or other land. It's in the "objects" section. I think that building looks pretty good, as Linden prefabs go. Or make your own store.

Then you can get a vendor for your creations -- there are free vendors on the secondserver.net GIGAS system, and Hiro Pendragon has free vendors available in the Boardman sim "free store".

You can come and take a $50 or $25 a week vending spot at one of my malls, I think they are about the cheapest you'll find in SL. But some people have them for free -- look around here in this section and you'll see where there are free vending spots.

A vending space is small, and isn't a "store" (a store might cost $1000/month or more to rent from the major telehub areas) but it can be converted to a kind of "store" by using the PICKS on your own profile.

To list your own store in FINDPLACES you need to either own property or rent property to get that function. I have property for $250/week where you can do that, or you put in tier for 512.
