Unfortunately due to folks gaming the system in the past. “Why is a Token only worth 10cr in fees?” Passing promotional credits back and forth indefinitely would create a huge surplus, and decrease the need for anyone to ever purchase credits. In order for the real credit to have value, promotional credits must be removed from the system as quickly as possible.
‘Why can’t I give away my Promotional Credits?’ ‘Why don’t I just get Promo Credits when some buys an item with Promo Credits?” IMVU feels that all developers must share the burden of promoting IMVU as all developers benefit from users that later become paying customers. Would you want to pay cash on a web based social network if you could not test drive it first? IMVU’s business plan is to give new users a taste of what all of IMVU can offer, so they can experience it all, get hooked on it, before they need to outlay real cash on the site. The simplest answer is, because your item was not purchased, it was an IMVU promotional giveaway. ‘Why am I not getting paid when someone buys with promo credits!’ They are however the cost of doing business here on IMVU so you will have to quickly learn to live with this reality. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned pro, you will grow to quickly hate them. Tokens are the bane of every developer’s existence on IMVU. Developer Tokens can only be used for offsetting submission fees and for shoutouts. When an item is acquired by Promotional credits you will receive one Developer Token for that item. The ultimate goal of the promotional credit system is to give new users a kind of a test drive and get users so hooked on the IMVU catalog that they want to buy credits.ĭeveloper Tokens are points awarded for helping to promote the IMVU catalog to users. When an item is acquired by using Promotional Credits the creator of that item is not paid but instead receives one Developer Token.
Promotional credits can ONLY be use for acquiring items from the catalog for your own personal use. Promotional Credits are not credits at all but instead a kind of coupon equal to value in Credits and are given away to promote the use of the IMVU catalog. Once verified IMVU's creators can now opt to get cash money payments directly from IMVU via PayPal for the sales of their products when purchased with credits. Note: As of May 2015 IMVU Credits can no longer be sold or traded for Real World Currency. They are the only currency that can pass from user to user. IMVU’s credits are all backed with real world currency, that is at some point someone has paid real cash to acquire them. They can be bought, traded, used to purchase products and gifts, and can used for all product submission fees. IMVU Credits are the only true currency on IMVU.
I use the term ‘currency’ loosely as only one of IMVU currencies has true value. There are three types of ‘currency’ on IMVU. IMVUs economic structure can be a very frustrating subject it is my hope here to not only clarify what each currency is but also explain the why behind it. Credits Promos and Tokens, A basic guide to IMVU’s Currency and its Economyīefore you jump head first into developing content for IMVU you will need to have an understanding of IMVU’s economy and what all the various currencies are and what they are good for.
