Interested in becoming a famous Second Life writer, journalist or pundit? There's now a newspaper vending box object which will allow you to create a text notecard that other residents can purchase for a price you set.

Get your vending box today in the Avatar Center - near the doorway located by Women's Clothing you'll see a newspaper box advertising Avatar Wear Weekly . You can buy a copy of the my newsletter or buy a copy of the vending box itself. Then customize it to distrubute your own notecard object.

Some ideas:
- Second Life tour book
- Second Life newspaper
- Reviews of Second Life objects and attractions
- poetry
- For Sale listings

just don't make a fashion rag, that's my domain ;)

if you have any questions just post here....

yes, name the notecard

yup - i think the easiest way to do this is sequentially name the notecard object it's selling/distributing. E.G. Travel of bpJones #1, #2, #3, etc.

but also, something on the Vending box that says "issue #4 on sale now". i know you're trying to make money and all but i don't wanna buy two copies of the same issue. =]

you'll find me to be friendly and agreeable until my publishing empire is unstoppable. Then I'll be erratic and hostile ;)

Will make sure to change exterior textures on the vending boxes with each issue - maybe an issue # and pub date.
