The VCOIN Marketplace — think of it like “Etsy,” but for Producers (users that provide services for other users). On the Marketplace, Producers will list “gigs” or services they offer in exchange for VCOIN, and IMVU users with VCOIN to spend will browse these gigs and hire Producers directly to complete the transaction.
If you’ve been following our announcements, you’re probably aware that recently this Marketplace got an upgrade and is now much more visual and easy to use. You can find the new Marketplace located at gigs.imvu.com.
What is the purpose of the VCOIN Marketplace?
We built this marketplace as a vehicle through which users that contributed the IMVU community in more intangible ways, could still earn money in the form of VCOIN. The IMVU Shop where users purchase digital items and rooms, is for the Creators. The VCOIN Marketplace where users can purchase digital art, unique items and experiences, is for the Producers.
The newly upgraded VCOIN Marketplace has NUMEROUS advantages for IMVU shoppers and Producers alike. This easy and frictionless platform to link those providing services and those hiring users for services, revolutionizes connections within the IMVU community. The VCOIN Marketplace also provides a platform for users who are looking to reach a larger audience in-game.
By posting a VCOIN Marketplace listing, Producers can be sure that their entry will be viewed by thousands of users that frequent the marketplace. For shoppers who are looking to spend their VCOIN and purchase gigs, they now have a place to easily access hundreds of other users who can help!
What are some cool listings on the VCOIN Marketplace?
IMVU is a unique place. So it would make sense that there are many unique services that Producers are listing on the VCOIN Marketplace that you’d never even think would exist and be profitable within a virtual world. On the VCOIN Marketplace, currently users can hire:
- Editors
- A Tarot Card Reader
- Models
- Custom Creators
- Babysitters
- Personal Shoppers/Stylists
- An IMVU Tour Guide
- And more! Check out other on the VCOIN Marketplace!
