Dear SLENTRE.COM Readers,

The end of the year is upon us and what a year it has been. I am truly inspired by all the support SLENTRE.COM has received from such an intelligent and active community of dedicated Second Life residents. As most of you know, times have been difficult for the SL publishing community, with many respected news sources closing their doors over the past year. I am proud that SLentrepreneur has been able to continue to provide valuable information for a loyal base of readers. Our magazine readership offers a unique opportunity for real life and second life businesses to reach a captive and engaged audience. The website generates thousands of page views per week and provides a solid return on investment for the right kind of advertiser. I am happy to say our tight-knit group of sponsors is growing as potential advertisers become aware of the value and exposure our publication can offer. As a ‘thank-you’ to all of our current sponsors and new sponsors, I am offering a special promotion through March 2009. Any sponsor purchasing an advertising package between now and March 31st 2009 will get 2 months for the price of one. I see this as a valuable opportunity to continue to build solid relationships with the Second Life business community and virtual world community at large.

I also hope to continue to provide insightful and provocative news and articles for the SLENTRE.COM readership. I am very excited about several new projects on the table for 2009 and would very much like to have your input. I have updated the current survey in the website asking you, the readers, which new sections you would like to see at SLENTRE.COM:

Second Life Services Directory

Second Life Fashion/Shopping Directory

Second Life Club Guide

Second Life Publication and Blog Directory

SLENTRE.COM Second Life TV Program

Please be sure to take the time to vote and make your voice heard as I will be adding new elements of the magazine based upon your direct feedback.

And finally, thank-you to the entire Second Life community for making 2008 a very productive and exciting year for SLENTRE.COM. Have a very happy holiday and merry New Year!

Sincerely,

Avarie Parker, Editor and Publisher SLentrepreneur Magazine, SLENTRE.COM
