The only people making income are the land barons who buy up huge sims (servers) then sell off the land.
Phht. Hardly. I've made over US$5k in SL in the last year by developing and marketing unique content. A few women have quit their day jobs and work from home, living on income made by virtual clothing sales in SL. There are infinite business opportunities there for the creative and hard-working.
The real value of SL is the opportunity to explore your creativity -- but the business end of things is absolutely doable with very little upfront cost if you have the discipline to take a solid, business-minded approach to it. I think I used about US$75 total in upfront investment to get my business on solid footing initially. Since then, SL has paid for itself plus a good deal of my bills each month. That was a god-send while I was still in college.
