Sponsored by:  Today has been a hectic day, with a mix of everything, including people panicking over nothing and causing a run on the bank. In case you did not get the minutes to the informal meeting we had, just join the group JT Financial and access old Group Notices - it's there.
To all the business and casino owners that were affected by the recent changes in policy, worrying or trying to circumvent the policy will not help. In the world of businesses, the only constant is that there will be changes. The businesses that survive are the ones that are willing to adapt. Instead of giving up because 'tragedy has occurred', just sit back, recollect your thoughts, and fired again. Failure is OK, but giving up is shouldn't be. You may say that it is easier for me to say this because I am not in your position. But you are wrong, because I was, and on much a larger scale. If you read my blogs when we first started, I noted that I failed in my import/export business and lost a lot of money, especially for a 24 (or 25) year old with no job. But I just reloaded and fire again. If you fail, so what? Just reload and fire until you get it right. All you need to do is hit the target once to be successful.
By now, I'm sure a lot of people out there are worrying that they won't have anything to do with their land and will be stuck with tier, but they can't sell it because everyone else might be doing the same thing. So what can they do? Well, if I owned a small parcel, this is what I would do:
Sponsored by:  I would set up a mall, without really being a mall. With the Wise Metaverse Management system, it would theoretically take only 1 prim for a store owner to advertise everything they have in your mall because that owner can rotate as many textures as he wants on that 1 prim, and give out landmark or information to his main store. So set up a nice organized place, build up some traffic, and sell 1-2 prim ad spaces to store owners. I would assume the store owners would be glad to pay a few Lindens a week/month to place an ad at your store, since they never really have to go back there to make updates. Plus, they can track impression and click counts on those prims to see how well you're doing in terms of traffic. So now, your job is to just drive traffic there. Maybe create a small niche club with a theme and invite a few of your friends over to have fun. After all, isn't that what most people are in SL for, to have fun and socialize? Hope this helps.
