Hey Creators!
We’re back with another round of Room Rewards updates. October rewards have been sent, and we’re excited to share that commerce payouts nearly doubled from September, thanks to higher payout rates and the addition of custom avatar item sales in rooms.
Last month, we began rebalancing the rewards structure to place more emphasis on commerce over engagement. This month, we’re taking another small but meaningful step in that direction. We want to help you earn more over time by rewarding effective monetization, allowing you to earn through both Room Rewards and player purchases.
What’s Changing
Starting with November Room Rewards (paid in December):
-
Engagement rewards are being adjusted down slightly.
(See the Annex for the updated token rates.) -
Commerce rates are holding steady.
(Due to strong performance in October, we want to see how these rates hold in November.)
Reminder: Custom Avatar Item Sales Count!
Don’t forget, in-room avatar item sales now count toward your commerce rewards!
If you’re selling avatar items through storefronts, those sales now help you qualify for Room Rewards. Sell avatar items that help players get into character for your rooms, or create custom avatar items that let your fans represent your brand and show their support for your room!
Smart Pricing = More Success
We’ve seen a clear pattern: the most successful rooms give players a range of ways to support them. Rooms that offer a variety of price points tend to perform better and attract a wider mix of supporters. We mentioned this last month in our blog post with monetization tips, but here’s an easy rule of thumb: Aim to cover at least two orders of magnitude in your pricing.
- As an example: try offering items at 500 tokens, 5,000 tokens, and 50,000 tokens. That kind of spread helps every player find a way to participate, whether they’re making a small purchase or going all-in as a superfan.
