[Archived - RigsK] Important Update - Requiring VIP for Earn Money Program

Posted by “Reclusus” on June 12, 2023.

Only for those with less incomes and 1 gf account only to eat from. I can save one of you by offering a free VIP membership Platinum for 1 year. And I have 3x 50 USD ready to send to any other gf creator with only 1 account. Who needs it for the money. This is not throwing cash to bums or drifters or people living on the streets. It is because I respect you, want to keep you here, and want to assist teammembers that are hurt in little financial ways, while staff is away. When I can save your summer BBQ with neighbors or kids...to those that fit the shoes, feel free to mail my accounts. When staff returns and starts answering and caring and solved your issues obtaining your income, I will review my current strategy. For now. I will mirror the silence.

We can save the ship for a while...by displaying items, recalculate our inserted incomes to the prices. While putting funds to where IMVU is requesting it. For the last time, I will support this network, and I will remain a customer and creator. But I will not increase the load we all carry, by upping our activities, for nothing at all for some. To relaunch correctly I will invest and continue, but decreasing the load of my activities. Which will not result in any profits lost for IMVU. But it will result in the lack of showing new products, while I keep improving skill and practices. I will return the pressure back to the origin. Finding a better, more caring solution, the key to have me, launch new items for sale.

If also this does go forward and you lose a large amount of your wages to then being set to credits, type in imvu in the search on that page it will come up with the imvu case with the get in touch at the bottom.

1) You will not ever throw a bone into a hungry wolves den. Than leaving them behind. In the dark. Is near slavery. I never even treated an enemy that way. It is inhumane.

2) You will resume handling their questions, and ensure the least you do is answering their worries and questions. Even when you can not alter the bad news.

3) You will save those that now fall behind, and decide to leave us. Why is...we need these people. They are ours, they are our team. Nobody messes with my team this way. Attend to your positions and execute, manage, care.

I am a European. You attracted me to support you, your network and myself along side with efforts beyond a normal members activities. Like we all do...

With all respect to this matter. Handle it! I do not forget, nor forgive, nor allow you to treat my team this way. Period!

I wish imvu will do like Twitch, they recently made an awful decision that will hurt their creators and days later they pulled it back! And also CEO himself apologized to the community about it through video that I admit it was a wise move from him, shame our management doesn’t care and completely ignores us.

Throwing in another of my two cents into this topic

In my honest opinion: Requiring Creators to have VIP so that they can receive their monetary payouts is not really a good idea in the long run. When one calculates the monthly subscription to either Platinum or Diamond VIP verses the meager payouts, it really does not balances itself out. Unless IMVU thinks that Creators are getting sales every minute and/or hour of everyday of the week, be rest assured that is not the case.

Speaking for myself, even though I only earn credits, not cash. I don't get sales every minute and/or hour of everyday. I'm lucky if someone purchases multiple items at once and I think that I can safely speak for others, when I say that.

As the person before me has posted....this will likely discourage the talented creators from continuing. Even though I have a feeling that some may stick around and just simply shell out the $10.00 or $20.00 a month, (if they can afford it). Others may just simply decide to stop creating or simply call it quits, deactivating their accounts and go elsewhere.

This will discourage good creators from continuing to produce good items, while it will not in the least affect the mass of bad hopefuls who derive mediocre items which fill the shop and sell nothing. The average store quality will drop significantly, and fewer and fewer people will be attracted to IMVU.

Whoever said that the boat is ready to sink is right.

What does that mean? Are we not going to be able to get paid during June? The ENTIRE payment team can't be missing.

I remember one company that continued on this road, Myspace.... enough said.

If you have the minimum balance you should request your payment before July 1st.

Payment team is out of office June 19th.

If you do not have the minimum balance you can only request your cash be converted to credits in the 1 month request time frame of (July 1st to 31st). Send a help ticket to the Earn Money team.

Or else the cash balance stays in your MASA unless you pay for VIP and earn the minimum request amount.

This is really hilarious. You actually have to contact someone to link your accounts you cant just do it by a simple click. I love the race to the bottom as this is what it is an yet there are some posts here that approve of these changes. At this point someone like me really has no choice. 2 Pro accounts with 60 items made each month on each account because I refuse to do PR and since the tier change you have to do this amount to keep lower submission fees and stay pro. With one catalog with over 11k items and other with 5k items catering to the AP crowds you really cannot not pay and they know this. I love how they say you cannot pay and just earn credits. Really? What would I do with all these credits? I already gift enough and spend as much as I can. But nah that wasn't good enough. They have to squeeze you for all you got. The threats of closing catalog or putting your items on display only are unrealistic and they know this as well. I wish I knew this was coming 12 years ago as I would have never started deving. However, don't fret as of July 1st their uptick in VIP subscription will satisfy investors as the platform continues to have less people online.

Very glad to hear it! Hopefully IMVU will send back a response soon. Most companies dont like to mess around with the BBB. Thank you!
