Monetizing Virtual Worlds
I have partnered with someone who effectively "owns" one of the largest cities in this virtual world - New York City. She sells virtual real estate in the city - everything from studio apartments to large condos. She designed and rendered all of the graphics herself and her city gets thousands of visitors a day. She has a staff of 10 people who sell real estate for her and keep up a blog about what's happening. She also has access to about 7,000 people who have opted in to her list in some way or another.
We have been brain storming about ways to monetize this list. We have considered an e-book/video series about creating a city of your own and monetizing its real estate yourself. We have also considered some things that are a little more simple just to gage interest - maybe a newsletter from her (she's kind of a big deal in this world) or a survey of some kind.
Overall, we are just trying to think of the best way to market products to these people that they may actually buy. Does anyone have any ideas or experiences?
