How Tiers Work?

Tiers, An Explanation of IMVU’s Tier Rewards program
IMVU’s Tiers system is a motivational system intended to inspire
developers to have a broader participation in IMVU.
The System has seven levels of advancement, each level gaining
the developer submission discounts and increased credit transfer
limits. Those who are currently at tier 5 or higher will have
the ‘Pro’ tag on their products.
Once a month IMVU samples its developers over a three month time
period. It takes those scores against how all developers
performed on IMVU and arranges them on a curve. Developers are
then graded against their peers in several categories, each
individual category earning them a maximum of three points for a
total maximum of twenty one points.
The top most performing percentile of developers earn 3 points
per category
The good to high performing percentile of developers earn 1 and
2 points
The Majority of developers will earn 0 points
There are no set benchmarks to hit. As the system is graded on a
curve your scores are directly related to how your peers
perform. If sales drop overall the points ‘to hit’ will drop, if
sales are stronger the ‘to hit’ numbers will go up. As IMVU’s
developer population grows the numbers of those earning top
scores will increase to reflect the increased population.
Your sales and participation numbers will not be cumulative,
they will only reflect the three month period of the sample,
this is so newer developers can compete with established
developers.
[center]Percentage of developers allocated to each Tier Level
(numbers as of 2008 provided by IMVU)
0.03% of Content Creators are Tier 7
0.38% of Content Creators are Tier 6
0.53% of Content Creators are Tier 5
0.78% of Content Creators are Tier 4
1% of Content Creators are Tier 3
3% of Content Creators are Tier 2
10% of Content Creators are Tier 1
83% of Content Creators are Tier 0 [/center]
How to understand the points breakdown
Tier points are in two schools, Core and Unique
[center]Core Metrics (performance)
Core Metrics are the bread and butter (Core) of developing,
sales made and earned income. Bottom line, product popularity is
singly the best ear-marker for performance. If you made the best
thing ever on IMVU but no one ever buys it, it is not a
successful product.
[/center]
IMVU has broken the Core area down into four areas worth 3
points each, for a maximum of 12 points.
Sales (derived) The number of products others have derived from
yours that have sold.
Income (credits) The number of credits you have earned.
Income (promo credits) The number of promos that were spent on
your items. (though you get tokens per sale instead of promos)
Sales (direct) The number of product sales you’ve had.
[center]Unique Metrics (participation)
Unique metrics are NOT performance based, one can max out all of
these with only ever having sold one product. These are not at
the ‘core’ of developing but are additional points awarded for
productivity, community participation, and how your products
were received (product reviews).[/center]
IMVU has broken these down into five four unique areas. Each
area is worth 3 points. Only the top three of these Unique
categories are used for a maximum of 9 points, the other score
will be listed as ‘Unused’ and not count to your total,
therefore the categorizes used for the total will vary from
person to person reflecting their personal strengths.
Products recently submitted: New products added to the catalog.
Products in the catalog: Overall quantity of products in the
catalog.
Peer Review activity: How many ‘accurate’ peer reviews you did
CC Forum posts: Number of posts you made in the CC sections of
the forums. (This Metric Is being phased out as of2/28/17)
Average product rating: Average of your own product’s review
scores
Your Tier Scorecard and How to Read it
When logged on to IMVU’s website on the Creator Center Page you
will have the option to view your tier scorecard. (There is also
a secondary navigation to this same information on your Account
Page near the bottom of the right hand column.)
The first thing to note is the time of the sample. This is the
three month period that these points are calculated for. On
about the first of the month a new sample is taken.
-The First Section is your core scores, these are based on how
well your catalog sales did compared to all creators on IMVU.
-The Second Section is your top three scoring unique metrics,
these are based on how much sundry stuff you did compared to all
creators on IMVU.
-The Third Section is your bottom two scoring unique metrics,
these scores are not counted.
-Add up Section One points and Section Two points and you have
your Total Tier Points.

How many points do you need for each tier level

[/center]
numbers as of 2008 provided by IMVU
0 points = Tier 0
1-3 pts. = Tier 1
4-6 pts. = Tier 2
7-9 pts. = Tier 3
10-12 pts. = Tier 4
13-15 pts. = Tier 5
16-18 pts. = Tier 6
19-21 pts. = Tier 7
Creator Tip! IMVU does not keep an accessible history of this
information so at the beginning of every month remember to take
a screenshot of this page and keep it for your records. While
your tier points are pretty useless at jugging your performance
the metric value amounts are a great way to personally tack your
overall sales history and personal growth.
What Tiers Get You
‘Bling’ Badges. Level badges are fun to have but have no
intrinsic value beyond badge fun. Some may find advertising
their actual tier level of value others will not, it’s a
personal choice to share it or not.
Submission Fee Discounts: As you advance up the ladder your
submission fees will reduce 50cr per level achieved. While this
is a great perk at the lower and mid levels at the higher levels
Tokens earned tend to well more than cover all submission fees
so this perk will become less valuable as you get more
successful.
Submission Fees at each Tier Level
Tier 0 500cr
Tier 1 450cr
Tier 2 400cr
Tier 3 350cr
Tier 4 300cr
Tier 5 250cr
Tier 6 200cr
Tier 7 150cr
‘Pro’ tag on products for those tier 5 and up. If your Tier
score is in the top .94% of all those who are registered as devs
and have submitted at least one product you will have a ‘Pro’
Tag. Roughly just under 1 in 100 devs on IMVU will have the
‘pro’ label on their products.
Increased Credit Transfer Caps & Credit Transfer Lock Immunity:
This perk used to be a must have when creators sold credits to
3rd party Resellers but today it is no longer a necessity to
achieve since IMVU now pays its creators directly. While you may
occasionally need to send credits to friends or alts the need
creators to transfer very large amounts of credits is not a
daily need in today's IMVU.
