Writer Daniel Terdiman has announced a new book, titled The Entrepreneur's Guide to Second Life. It's all about making money in the metaverse, and while it focuses on Second Life, it seems like it'll be a useful tome for anyone interested in exploring avenues of self-motivated commerce in virtual worlds.

According to Amazon, the book, available on November 5th, overviews virtual world economies and highlights their opportunities and challenges. A chapter devoted to virtual business basics discusses marketing and advertising avenues essential to thriving Second Life businesses, and there are tips and tricks on multi-stage business plans, too. The book also explores less tangible avenues, like machinima, blogs and media, content creation and speculation on virtual currencies.

Terdiman will also be speaking at The Electric Sheep's upcoming Entrepreneur's Club gathering coming up on October 4th, presumably to promote the book and to share expertise.
