Hosting And Making Good Money In SL

Here are some tips to Hosting in SL that I hope helps you make good money =]

TRY TO AVOID THESE THINGS IF YOU WANT TO MAKE GOOD MONEY:

1. SPAM - Unless you have friends who don't mind tipping you regardless of your spam, don't do this. This is the fastest way to not get tips. What do I mean by spam? If you send a group invite more than once, you are spamming. If you do this...

PARTY, PARTY, WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT, PARTY, GOOOOOOOO PARTY, WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT, PARTY, OH YEAH PARTY.

or any other gestures as a form of entertaining throughout the whole party....you are spamming!

It is annoying to have to see spam after spam in local chat. In fact, you take away from people enjoying the music that they went to hear in the first place. Most likely if you spam, people will block you in order to stay and enjoy the music or mute you. Either ways, you are most likely not getting tipped unless it's from friends and family members who don't want to tell you how annoying this is.

2. NOT TALK AT ALL - Spamming is bad but not talking at all makes you invisible. If you don't talk at all, no one will know that you are the host and therefore you will most likely not make great tips. People are too busy dancing and enjoying the party to notice your "host" tag. Trust me, it won't help you much.

3. DON'T SHOW UP LATE - Not only does that make you look unreliable and people might not want to work with you again but party goers might have already tipped the DJ and you lose out. Most times people like to tip both the DJ and Host at the same time. 

4. DON'T KEEP ASKING FOR MONEY - Saying something like "tip your host" or "if you feel like tipping, tip me, I'm your host" every 5 minutes, it's very annoying and makes you sound desperate.


THINGS TO DO IF YOU WANT TO MAKE GOOD MONEY:

1. SHOW UP AT LEAST 15 MINUTES PRIOR TO YOUR EVENT - This will help you set up if you need to or just get ready to greet the people who will land into the party.

2. GREET EVERYONE WHO LANDS - Greeting everyone raises your chances of being tipped. It means people will notice you as a host. EXTRA TIP: If you want to make even better money (this takes a bit of time and dedication but totally worth it) send a private message to every single person greeting them personally once. Example, "Hi =] welcome to club Mister Good Looking. If you would like a group tag to keep up with the latests events or contest feel free to im me or if you need anything else.". Not only does this make people feel extra welcomed but it also further let's people know that you are there to help them as a host and usually means better tips. 

3. ENGAGE PEOPLE - Talk to people and carry a conversation. Ask people how their day was, tell them how good they are dancing, talk about the song that is playing, you can talk just about anything (unless the club has rules). Some hosts even carry their own truth or dare game to play during the party. Other hosts hold competitions. The more fun you make the party, the more likely you are to get tipped very well.

4. ENJOY YOURSELF - If you don't like the managers, owners, or even the DJ, the $400L is not worth it! Remember that amount is about $2 USA dollars! o.o which means you work for one dollar an hour. Why would you put up with hell for a buck? There is always some club opening up and amazing wonderful people out there, so make sure you are having fun! and enjoy what you are doing. In the end you don't get paid enough to deal with drama.

These are some things I learned as a host and hope it helps you. When I first started I made about $200-$500L and thought that was cool; mostly because I enjoyed what I did. But eventually I moved up to making  up to $5000L every two hours, sometimes I made that in an hour o.o That is about $20 USA dollars an hour. Trust me, it is possible to make that much.

If you are looking for work, I suggest you just hop around from clubs to clubs and feel out the environment first. If you enjoy the place then you can send a message to the owner, manager, working DJ, and/or host and see if they are hiring. Good Luck! =]
