Yes, I plan on taking my own advice eventually. It's the best low-budget, money-saving instant internet payment collection method I can think of, at least if you can reasonably expect your customers to be willing to log into a virtual world to pay you.

Which is currently unfortunately not a reasonable expectation for a lot of businesses - but perhaps this will change as Second Life becomes more popular and widespread.

A friend of mine makes about $20k every month just on selling scripted items in second life. It truly has lots of potential if you can become a guru at it.
Wow! That's incredible. Inspires me to keep striving to become a guru...

Quote:
I've even heard stories of crime/drug money deals being handled through second life. XD
I guess any technology can be abused. Oh, well.

Virtual goods/money is the economy of the future.
Definitely.

Anyway, I've been talking with Jim about AlertPay and it really sounds like an awesome service. It's very simple and powerful, so I will likely be using it.
Excellent, I hope it all works out well for you.

Best wishes,
Apollia
