Merchant Chat Review


 On the previous Monday, we gathered at the lounge of the newly opened Welcome Center in Mieville Doyle for a special event called Merchant Chat, spearheaded by Annakari Dragonsworn (annakari.genesis). The purpose of this weekly gathering is to provide our esteemed merchants with a platform to exchange knowledge, ask questions, and support each other. It serves as an avenue for sharing valuable tips and tricks to navigate the exciting journey of being a merchant and creator. During the event, Sarah Dalrymple (sarahdalrymple) shared a list of exciting hunting opportunities outside Mieville, which can help boost traffic and visibility for our merchants. We express our gratitude to all those who attended and actively participated.


Anna envisions this regular gathering as a collaborative effort to advance our roles as merchants in both Mieville and Second Life. It is important to note that Merchant Chat is not meant to replace the monthly Community meeting, which takes place at a later time in the day.


Furthermore, we aim to address any topics that arise from our discussions, focusing on enhancing communication and fulfilling the needs of our vibrant community. With the wealth of collective experience among Mieville's merchants, we have a vast pool of resources to tap into. Given the diverse levels of expertise, our goal is for everyone to benefit from sharing the latest skills, trends, as well as tried-and-true methods that have proven helpful.


We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Anna for hosting and providing this invaluable opportunity. We eagerly anticipate the insightful discussions that lie ahead.
