Sell a Thing-a-ma-jig, Pay Your Taxes
Ever wonder what the government thinks of you buying and selling stuff in Virtual Worlds?Of Course not. You’re not a kid; you don’t even know what that means. Well listen up, because you may be digging into your pocket.
On Page 213 of the US Taxpayer Advocate’s Annual Report to Congress, there’s a recommendation that the IRS get aggressive about collecting taxes on income earned when one user sells things to another while playing on-line computer games. Yes, seriously. Sell something that doesn’t exist, pay taxes with real money. And this is from your advocate.
I’m not sure I even understand it. Except for the part about the government reaching into my pocket. Again.
Sure do hope your accountant is up to date on THAT part of the tax code!
What’s the lesson? One we preach all the time: Things are changing. And you have to pay attention, and change, too. And maybe pay taxes, as well.
Here’s a simple, fairly inexpensive idea: try selling at a trade show off in the far reaches of the dimly-lit booths. Talk about a Virtual World! Not a trade show in your industry, by the way . . . trade shows from other industries where your services might be needed. DO SOMETHING. Now.
The world is in a constant state of flux. Virtual VIP can help you manage that change, but nothing happens until you decide it’s time . . .

Spotlight
Guilt Enslaves. Responsibility Liberates.
Think about it.
Shut off the voices you’ve been listening to since you were a child and start moving toward what you want, not what you’ve been told you’re supposed to want.
Forgive those around you for the things they’ve “done to you” . . . and move forward. You’ll feel great, and your results will be great.
And matter. To you.
