Doubledown Tandino - Available to DJ, Emcee, & Promote your Halloween Event

Hello ghouls, goblins, and ... avatars.  I (Doubledown Tandino) am available for Second Life Halloween bookings and events.  Halloween is my favorite time of year, and I cannot wait to perform at some of this year's inworld parties.

I am a professional real life and Second Life DJ, and do a live turntable mix of current modern spooky electronica (house and breakbeats), combined with live remixing of various classic Halloween jams.  I've done Halloween events for over a decade, yet always find ways to make the music fresh and unique each year.

Booking me means you'll get:
- Advanced promotion of the event; includes inworld marketing + internet & social media based.
- During event promotion; includes TPs, notices, group chat, twitter, facebook, status updates, etc.
- Live broadcast DJing & live mixing and remixing
- Live on-the-mic Emcee to promote goals of the event (products, freebies, giveaways, contests, venue info, people involved info, etc)
- The broadcast stream (if your venue does not have one)
- Any extra Halloween decorations if needed (I am able to provide a Halloween DJ booth & lighting)

October 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st dates are available (pending time availability.)
Depending on your expectations, approximate rate is $5000L for one hour, $8000L for two hours.
(The time spent on advance promotion is included.  (If you would like a graphic flier designed for your event, the cost is $5000L.))
The cost is $3000L per hour if you JUST would like me to DJ, but not do any promotions or speak on the mic.

please contact me ASAP at DJDoubledown @ gmail.com to discuss your expectations and lock in the time.

Selling my Second Life Group: "Live Turntable DJs"

 For over 3 years, I've done my best to establish a promotional, networking, and collaboration group for the Live Turntable DJs and DJ fans of Second Life.   I have done my best to sort out the DJs, the Event Promoters, and the music lovers in SL.  Back when this group first started in SL,  there were NO live turntable djs.  There wasn't even a difference in classification of the type of DJs in SL.  I made this group because I needed to show Second Life that a "playlisting" DJ is not a real turntable mix DJ.   Since then, Second Life has blossomed into a full fledged Live Turntable DJ community.

Now the time has come where I am looking to sell this group.  The reason why I am selling it is because of the extreme time and effort I've invested in making this group special.  Furthermore, the future owner of this group will have full access to over 1000 members, over 300 DJs, and over 300 club and event promoters.  This group is a high value opportunity for any DJ agency, club looking to book DJs, club looking to hire quality staff, and a effective method for DJ, club, and event needs.  If you are in the club business & music entertainment industry inworld, you will find this group is an excellent investment.

Link to the group: http://world.secondlife.com/group/17cd56a2-2f19-74c2-8cb8-e5142bf1f5d0

If you have any questions, inquiries, or simply want to know why I am selling this group, please email me at DJDoubledown (at) gmail.com
If there are no qualifying buyers, the group will be shut down sometime between September 5th and September 9th.

Here is your chance to jump on a tremendous opportunity filled with contacts that will make your Second Life entertainment business catapult to success.

Once again, email me ASAP at DJDoubledown (at) gmail.com with any questions. Please act fast.
(Doubledown Tandino in SL)

Thank you.

P.S.  I am not getting rid of this group because "I am tired of it"  ... It pains me to have to let this group go.  Hopefully the new owner will continue onward with the ideals I set out for the group.

She’s the BEST Employee I’ve NEVER Met (via Mashable)

While Digging through the king of all media sites about media sites, Mashable, I found a must-bookmark page of How-To's. One of the articles, "She’s the BEST Employee I’ve NEVER Met" is a gem.

As a Second Lifer reading this, and as any Second Lifer reading would think; 'This is common in SL'. How often in SL do you do business with people you don't know in the real world? All the time, right?! How often do you refer a SL associate to another inworld? All the time, right?!

Personally, working with people I haven't met in the real world (but feel comfortable with in Second Life, or online) is my cup of tea. I am glad Second Life has been offering this form of business relationships for some time now.

She’s the BEST Employee I’ve NEVER Met
J.T. O’Donnell is a nationally syndicated career strategist, corporate trainer and founder of Careerealism.com. You can follow her on Twitter

Would you refer a stranger to a job? I guess that all depends on what your definition of ‘stranger’ is these days. Let me explain… Last week, I sent an email to an HR Director introducing a candidate. Seems normal, right? Well, the catch is that I’ve never met the person I referred, or the HR Director - in person, that is. I met them on LinkedIn

The virtual referral

---

I actually became connected with the candidate a few months ago. Ironically, yet another ‘online colleague’ (a person I’ve become acquainted with online, but have never met), referred her to me. The candidate sent me an e-mail with some questions and we started an interesting conversation, which indirectly led me to learn all about her strengths as an employee.

Eventually, I offered my help introducing her to a writer she admired. She was both grateful and was quite professional throughout the process. Her credibility continued to increase in my mind. So, when she mentioned a company in her area that she was trying to get an interview with, but had had no luck reaching the HR Director, I decided to check my online networking sources and sent an e-mail introduction request on her behalf. I simply explained the reason for my contact, mentioned the candidate’s name and provided a link to her online resume.

---

Why would I go to such lengths to help a stranger?

---

Here are a few reasons:

1. In my mind, she’s not a stranger. While it is true that 93% of effective communication between two people is done face-to-face (i.e. voice tone and pace, eye contact, body language, facial expressions, etc.), the reality is that she only got to use 7% of her communication skills (the words and style of her writing) by e-mail to connect with me. I had multiple dialogs with her online – and all of them were consistently professional and enjoyable.

2. Networking online is easy an efficient. These days, it is estimated that over 80% of jobs are gotten by referral. FACT: The ‘Six Degrees of Separation Theory’ truly applies when it comes to job search. Just look at the evidence: it took me all of three minutes to learn that I was only two contacts away from the HR Director she wanted to meet, and just another five minutes of my time to send the e-mail recommending her.

3. Being helpful is good for your business-of-one. Leveraging our contacts online to help someone find a job in this economy is thoughtful and much needed. Not to mention, it boosts your own credibility as a professional. Besides, you just never know when you might need the favor returned. The reality is that anyone you refer still has to get the job, the assignment, or the sale on their own. So, it’s not a big investment on your part. I actually think the returns are greater for the person who does the referring.

The social media advantage

Here’s another example of how social media tools can be used to help people we’ve never met
