My quest for: Outworld tools to promote inworld events:  

Interim Report: The outworld tools of EvaMoon Ember

EvaMoon Ember is the best comedy singer in Second Life.   She also has a professional career in outworld performances.  And she really knows how to promote her act.   She has a Second Life fan group, but she does not sit back and depend on that to get her an audience.  Here are some other things she does:

She has a website for her inworld activities.  And another for her outworld performances. 

When people arrive at your venue, you want to show them a schedule of upcoming events.  Maybe they came for an event.  Maybe they came by to see what you have and found no event.  Either way, you want to tell them about upcoming events.  Here are some of the main ways people do that at the SL venue.

• Poster- givers – giving notecards with times and  landmarks
• Textable billboards
• Web-on Prim
• Huds & billboards from Google Calendar

Poster-givers

In the simplest form, these are one-prim panels with a texture inviting a click.  On click, the panel gives a notecard with events, times, and landmarks.  There are more elaborate ways to use poster-givers.  Some of these are available (as free, full perm, scripted objects) in the Hobo Kit on Cookie or Hobo Island.  Poster-givers are often put out at other high traffic places as well as at the venue.  I will give a detailed description of poster-givers, variations, and possibilities in a later article.
