This is an important update for Grandfathered Creators.
In the announcement below we stated that starting July 1, 2023, all Earn Money Creators, including Grandfathered Creators, will be required to have either Platinum or Diamond VIP in order to be in the Earn Money Program and receive cash payouts.
(This requirement does not affect Grandfathered Creators who are subscribed to legacy VIP (from before Tiered VIP launched).
We realize this is a huge change for many Grandfathered Creators and have been closely following feedback regarding this new policy.
Based on your valuable input, we have come up with a solution that should make it easier for affected Creators to transition.
Details are as follows:
LINKED ACCOUNTS FOR GRANDFATHERED CREATORS
Starting July 1, 2023, Creators will be able to link three Grandfathered Creator accounts together, with only one VIP subscription.
Creators will choose one Grandfathered account for their VIP subscription, and two additional Grandfathered accounts that will not need VIP.
If a Creator already pays for Platinum or Diamond VIP on a non-Grandfathered account, they can apply it to two of their Grandfathered accounts.
All three linked accounts will be eligible for the Earn Money Program and payouts.
Once the accounts are linked, new earnings from these accounts will be combined into one MASA balance. Earnings from before the accounts are linked will not be combined.
Grandfathered accounts that are grouped with a VIP account will not need to apply for the Earn Money Program as long as they have already been approved to participate in the Earn Money Program prior.
Starting August 2023, earnings from the linked accounts can be set up to funnel into the VIP account.
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO LINK GRANDFATHERED ACCOUNTS
Here’s how to link a Platinum or Diamond VIP Grandfathered account with two additional accounts.
Make sure one of your Creator accounts has Platinum or Diamond VIP
Submit a help ticket to the Earn Money Program, requesting linked accounts. List an account that has VIP, and two Grandfathered accounts that do not have VIP.
If any of the linked accounts is not in the Earn Money Program, those account(s) will need to join to earn money and request a payout. All accounts will be able to apply to the Earn Money Program without a VIP subscription. However, you will not be able to earn money or request a payout until the account has a qualified VIP subscription or is linked to a Grandfathered account with a qualified VIP subscription.
Once the team receives your ticket (and your Earn Money application(s) if applicable), they will:
Check to make sure the accounts are owned by you
Confirm your Earn Money Program application has been accepted.
As soon as your accounts are approved, the team will link them together, so all three can be in the Earn Money Program with only one VIP subscription
ADDITIONAL BENEFIT - JULY ONLY
Between July 1 and July 30, Earn Money accounts with less than $50 can convert their balances into Credits. To receive Credits, send a help ticket to the Earn Money team.
Attention Creators - Starting July 1 Earn Money Payouts will require VIP
This is an important notice for Creators who are not signed up for VIP but still receive cash payouts in the Earn Money Program.
Starting July 1, 2023, all Earn Money Creators will be required to have either Platinum or Diamond VIP in order to receive cash payouts.
This does not include legacy Creators who signed up for VIP before the Tiered VIP system launched. They already have the equivalent of Platinum VIP and do not need to take any action.
CLARIFICATION:
Added 5/18/23: By "legacy Creators" we mean Grandfathered Creators. Grandfathered Creators without VIP will still be able to create, submit to their shop and earn Credits.
When this new requirement is introduced, Grandfathered Creators without VIP will still be able to create, submit to their shop and earn Credits.
Added 5/23/23 - You will not be able to earn cash or receive payouts unless you purchase Platinum or Diamond VIP. Once you join VIP you can earn cash and receive payouts. You will not lose existing cash balances. They will simply not be available without VIP.
The Platinum and Diamond VIP memberships offer exclusive benefits that will help Creators make the most of their IMVU experience, including free live chat rooms, live voice broadcasting, and catalog discounts. See our store https://www.imvu.com/next/store/ for more details.
We realize VIP is new to many of you, and to that end, we have provided several weeks of notice so that you can review the Platinum and Diamond VIP offerings and decide which is right for you. See our store https://www.imvu.com/next/store/ for more details.
Thank you!

You will have to explain what you mean about the badges, I’m not sure I follow. Also anyone can edit their homepage background, you just have to go up to the little edit button at the top right of your homepage. It can be finicky on occasion but you might have to click the (set to no image) link to clear it.

I see more creators leaving over this issue which I'm not surprised there are plenty of other options for creators to use for the skills they have. Sims 4 has custom content and so does SL but both are different than imvu.

IMVU could easy offer both options and make more money from people who don't want to buy VIP. But VIP we buy must be a "Creator VIP" that all creators want to buy. So if a person doesn't have VIP they automatically pay a fee and people who have VIP don't.
Make the "Creator VIP" so worthy and wanted and needed that all creators want to buy it. Make it so worth it! For example:
option to receive cash / credits / developer tokens instead of just credits and developer tokens. The cash amount would be as little as how much each token would be in cents. See how fast the PR will go :)
meshers can change the base mesh prices of all products as they wish (of old and already derived meshes) also hopefully without opening a ticket.
transfer cash between grandfathered accounts
make a bit more then $0.4 per 1000cr
discounts in buying yearly VIP ( but we should be able to do that anyway)
discounts for advertising our products
1 day a month to post products to the feed of all IMVU (I was once chosen by imvu to be advertised by them in the feed, not sure how it is different then your own feed) not sure how it is now.
once a month one of our products can be chosen to be advertised by IMVU and they send all the customers to our shop through our shop link. Like "Did you see what LovedWarrior Created today?! Look here [my shop link]. Something simple and visible somewhere in IMVU. So we feel that we are getting real support from IMVU and IMVU also makes more money by using our products.
no minimum withdrawal or $20 is the lowest not $50
Lots of other goodies I can't think of but will post as I come up with more... Can you imagine how many developers would love to buy VIP if you make it a "Creator VIP"?
Please all creators, write your thoughts of what you would wish to get in a special VIP for creators only. So, if you were offered a "Creator VIP" what would you want in it to help you enjoy creating in IMVU?
