Support Rooted
Rooted is more than just a magazine. It’s a place to share the people, places, ideas, and stories that make our nature community special.
The Nature Collective is a community-driven project, and the work behind it takes time and resources. If you’re a Home & Garden store in Second Life, advertising in Rooted is one way you can help support TNC while putting your own space, business, event, or creative work in front of a community of people who love to explore in Second Life.
Ad Pricing
We offer two simple ad options, depending on how much space you need:

A small, simple ad space that’s perfect for a logo, shop name, destination, creator, or a short announcement. Need a little more room? The logo ad can also be expanded when your design calls for it. Dimensions: 3.5 × 3.5 inches.

More room to make an impression. Half-page ads are ideal for promoting a destination, business, event, seasonal offering, or anything that needs a little more space for imagery and information. Dimensions: 7.25 × 4.20 inches.
Tips for Creating an Effective Ad
We want your ad to shine! A well-designed ad helps people quickly understand who you are, what you offer, and where they can learn more. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your advertising space.
- Make your store or business name visible. Help people recognize your brand by including your name clearly and making it easy to read.
- Tell people what you’re about. Rather than using only a logo, create an image that gives viewers an immediate sense of your products, services, or destination. Show them what makes you special!
- Keep your design clear and readable. Avoid overcrowding your ad with too much text or too many small details. People should be able to understand your message at a glance.
- Use high-quality imagery. Choose clear, appealing images that represent your brand and make people curious to learn more.
- Include a call to action. When possible, invite people to visit your store, explore your destination, join your community, or check out your website.
- Make sure your text is legible. Choose fonts, colors, and contrast that make your message easy to read, even at smaller sizes.
A little inspiration goes a long way! Think of your ad as a tiny introduction to your world. Make it inviting, make it memorable, and give people a reason to come explore.
