Akara, Turkey is the latest province to sell in the only virtual world based on the real world. Weblo.com has been compared to SecondLife.com but that game is based on the sale of fantasy islands. Weblo is the only virtual world where every real city, state and property is for sale. More than 800 real states and provinces have sold for real U.S. dollars. The new Governor of Akara earns money from all property sales and ad revenue in Akara province.
Weblo.com is the only parallel universe based on real properties, cities and states. Weblo has sparked a virtual real estate boom. California sold for $53,000 USD, New York State sold for $19,350 and now Akara has sold for $657. Major cites and properties around the world have sold and resold for profit. The virtual mayor of Seattle sold his city for $2000 after buying it for $40 from Weblo. The virtual Empire State Building, originally purchased for one dollar re-sold for $250. New Brunswick province in Canada recently resold for $925 making the first Premier $278. Members flip virtual properties for profit just like in the real world.
"It’s like Monopoly on steroids. Every property, city and state from the real world is for sale at Weblo.com," says Rocky Mirza, CEO and co-founder of Weblo.com. "This is social networking with commerce, where members finally get paid for their popularity. Before Weblo.com only website founders and shareholders profited." Members attract traffic to their Weblo sites with compelling content including photo galleries, forums, polls and videos. Members profit from hits and advertising revenue generated from their sites. City and State owners earn a percentage of all transactions within their territories.
