I've glance over the study and it looks like some1 with half a brain and alot of irrelevants stats. A study hardly worth even a look, but as NWO has decided to post it, I will review it fully. Looks like total BS. I work fulltime in SL and not 1 of those bullet points are part of my business practices in SL.</p>archie lukas commented on 'Ten Valuable Business Tips for Second Life Entrepreneurs From In-Depth University of Michigan Study of SL Economy'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0133f20262a5970b2010-07-02T10:30:20Z2010-07-02T10:30:20Zarchie lukasThe obvious thing missed in the guide is to produce a product that no-one else has or something in a...<p>The obvious thing missed in the guide is to produce a product that no-one else has or something in a niche market that is better than everyone elses.</p>

Two-thirds of sellers have less than 5 customers per month, but the average number of customers per seller is 17. It's the difference between median and mean. (And actually the median number of paying customers is 2).</p>
