CEO of First Opinions Panel, Andre Mallon or Andy Evans (SL name) emailed me earlier about their testing of the new sign-up process for FOP. Yup that’s right, no more PDF download when you join for the company that pays you 500L$ lindens to 100$ US. dollars per survey.

Those Lovely Kimonos

I assume Artesia B is Japanese for almost everything in her blog is about Kimonos (well almost) and everything Japanese. It’s really nice to see another Asian (assuming she’s asian) doing good in Second Life through blogging. I am not really interested to Kimonos but my wife will definitely check Artesia B’s blog from time to time because of that.

Going back in time

When I first started my Second Life, I was a Victorian. Cynara and I always visit Caledon especially when buying Victorian Clothes. Also, Cynara works as a model for a Victorian Shop back then. Now this man, Dr. Rafael Fabre is one hell of a roleplayer and knows a lot through Steampunk era. Almost every post he have in his blog is about the period. (no off-topic posts at least) What impresses me most is his research skills (unless that is a fictional character) in terms of finding people who lived in the Victorian Period.

I also think that this interesting blog about Antiquity is from Dr. Rafael Fabre as well. So check them out.

One hell of a Machinima maker

I think I can still continue our machinima music video. Especially after seeing this blog of CodeBastard Redgrave. Her machinimas are great and most of the time featured in the SL Insider. She created a nice and user-friendly MachinimaCam to make your shooting a lot easier. So if you’re interested in making Machinimas just like I do, subscribe to her blog as well.

General SL Blog?

I really don’t know what’s the focus of this blog, Second Life Snippets. But they surely got my attention with this kind of Advertising (as they say) although I think of it as an attack. Another post that caught my attention is about SL’s Support. It feels good whenever people appreciate you with what you do. Why do I fell that way? I’ve been part of Level-Up games, an online game publisher here in our country, for 2 years and it’s a rare occasion that you’ll hear or read from someone that they appreciate what you’ve done. Moving on…

I didn’t know that!

This is not about that show from National Geographic Channel. It’s about a blogger’s community in SL. Yes! I’ve been encouraging people to blog about Second Life as a way for them to earn linden dollars and make money and finally, a blogger’s network for SL. Well, they don’t have their own domain yet and still hosted at Google Groups but most of all, I love it when people of the same interest will have a connection in some way. I didn’t even know that they meet. So kudos!

It’s true that linden dollars are hard to find in SL especially when you don’t know where to find it. Here, I’ll tell you where and how you can earn linden dollars and make money in Second Life.

In an email update just today an after talking to Andy Evans, CEO of First Opinions Panel, we’re into a good future especially those who have joined. Parts of the message from Andy Evans below.

First Opinions Membership over 4000

Welcome to so many new members! FIRST OPINIONS is now the premier consumer panel in Second Life.

• Over 100 new members are joining DAILY!
• We expect to have 10,000 members no later than the end of this year
• We are the ONLY source of SL Group Owners with hundreds in our panel.
  
• FIVE authors from various magazines, trade associations and with a forthcoming book are covering FIRST OPINIONS!
• All this gives FORTUNE 500 companies no choice but to work with us for their SL research.

What’s good about this? We can expect more high paying surveys and more surveys to be given monthly. One of FOP’s high pay survey just happened recently when the big giant, IBM surveyed FOP members for their Virtual Business Center sim and gave 1500L$ linden dollars for every resident who participated in IBM’s survey.

New Research Projects

We have been told to expect another project as early as this week.

• Several are in planning stages, coming soon.
• If you are a match for who they are looking for, you will automatically be sent an email.
• Check your email DAILY! Don’t be left out as some were recently.
• Want to give us a new email address you check more often? Send an email to Andy.
• JOIN OUR GROUP IN SL! This is a back up way to alert you to the email. If you don’t see “First Opinions Panel” in your list of Groups, send an IM to Andy Evans and include your country of residence for an invitation to join.

How is FOP different?

Many survey companies just resell your email address (and your other personal information if they can get it) over and over again to other companies. The result is you get spammed.

• They will NEVER spam you.
• FIRST OPINIONS is owned by a non profit foundation doing research for Fortune 500 clients (largest companies in the world) to help them develop islands, events and programs in Second Life.
• Your feedback REALLY COUNTS among top corporate marketing officials with our projects.
• For full details, read the FAQ.

First Opinions Panel (SLURL)

First Opinions Panel is a non-profit organization thet gives 500L$ to 1000L$ per survey or research that you’ll answer. I’ve been earning more than 1000L$ every month just for filling 2 to 4 surveys they release every month. Personally, First Opinions Panel is the very reason why Chino Yalin (my character in-world) looks very realistic, handsome and have different sets of clothes and hair for different occassions.

I just logged in around 30 minutes ago and a notecard was sent to me by the Market Truths Research Panel people. They invited members of the Market Truths Research Panel to fill-up a survey that pays 300L$ free lindens instantly after completing the survey.

For those who do not know Market Truths,

Market Truths (SLURL)

The Research Panel is made up of Second Life residents who have opted in to receiving invitations from us to participate in surveys and other types of research (e.g., interviews or focus groups) in exchange for some L$ and the opportunity to help improve aspects of Second Life that they care about.

L$250 will be paid to you, as a token of our appreciation, just for joining and completing the preference form.

Note: Market Truths only gives 250L$ to those who have verified their accounts.

Sign-up for Market Truths

And so as not to confuse, the 300L$ free linden dollars is a separate pay from the 250L$ free lindens that you will get from joining Market Truths.

Do not also forget that this is only one of the many ways on where you can earn free linden dollars. So always check out Chino Yray dot com and my list of Free Linden Dollars.

At first I thought it was just L$20 because of the image prim they have at their lobby. Market Truths offers more than that though. They will pay you L$250 linden dollars just by joining plus they will pay you more when you do answer some survey for them.

The initial L$250 is good. However, I don’t know how much they pay per research they give out unlike First Opinions Panel that gives a sure L$500 to L$1000 linden dollars per survey. What I’m very sure is, they give an instant L$250 for just joining their research panel!

Their site also gives a brief and suffice description on what they do but I recommend visiting it from the “join” button that you will find on their lobby. Once you clicked the “join” button, you’ll be redirected to their registration page and will allow you to fill up certain categories that you want to be part of the research panel and answer some simple questions like SL Avatar details.

For more networks and offers that gives free lindens go here.
