Welcome to the discussion on ImLive for webcam models. This thread gathers varied experiences and insights from members of our community. Here's a summary of the key points shared:
- Starting rates and adjustments: Some models begin with the site's promotional rate of $0.99/min and later adjust to higher rates, with mentions of $2.80/min and even $5.80/min to compensate for lower earnings from bonus credits.
- Earnings and commission concerns: There's a notable discussion on the commission structure, particularly the reduced percentage (as low as 12%) models receive from shows paid with bonus credits. This has led to dissatisfaction due to the impact on overall earnings.

The free preview time for members (approximately 30 seconds) was also mentioned as a point of contention.

- Support and responses from the site's representatives: Replies from an ImLive representative aimed to address concerns, noting updates to the host client software and defending the bonus credit system as a means to enhance member spending and retention. However, these responses were met with skepticism by some models, who felt the promotional costs were unfairly passed onto them.
- Personal experiences and decisions: The thread includes personal accounts ranging from dissatisfaction with earnings and site dynamics to the strategic setting of show rates and the decision by some models to leave the platform in search of better opportunities.
