Advertising in the M2

If you've been in Second Life for very long at all, you've probably heard about how many businesses have spent tens of thousands of dollars to create a presence in Second Life, with the sole purpose of marketing their services and/or products to those who play, live and work here.

But why spend so much money when advertising in a publication devoted to Second Life is more effective?

The Metaverse Messenger (M2) is a weekly newspaper (published as an online PDF at http://www.metaversemessenger.com) covering Second Life. With a readership of over 100,000 issues a month, the M2 is the most widely read newspaper in Second Life. It has been featured in publications such as De Nieuwe Reporter, Metro Times, www.channel4.com, The International Herald Tribune, The Guardian, Adweek, AAJA Voice, The Austin American Statesman, The Phoenix, Business Week, Clickable Culture, and many others.

Advertisers utilizing the M2 include Neo-Realms Fishing, West Trade Imports, Ecstasy Realty, SLExchange, The Oh! Factor, Phobos Designs, Dublin SL, Fairchang .com, First MetaCard and many more, as well as real world companies such as Vodafone, The Weather Channel, RatePoint, Dell Computer, Wiley Books, Coldwell Banker Real Estate, Market Truths Limited, the accounting services of John Horner, Warner Home Video, and others.

The M2 has been continually published since August of 2005. In addition, each year, we publish a hard copy for Second Life's annual convention.

The M2 offers advertising to SL businesses at just L$60 per column inch. There are only three more opportunities to advertise in the M2 prior to the Valentine holiday. Regular issues will be published on Feb. 5 and Feb. 12, while a special Valentine's Day issue will be released on Feb. 7.

"Reading through The Metaverse Messenger is an eye-opener. This is not some school magazine trying to look and sound like a mainstream newspaper, this is actually news of worlds, lives, issues, events and business that exists in virtual domains today .If the future of media is to be explored, publications such as The Metaverse Messenger and indeed, the plethora of new media on MMORPG's and the lives of those who treat them as seriously as real life need to be examined in far greater detail."
