--------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Can Artists/Bands really join for Free?
A: YES... Their first year is Free... this is IMM proving we have your back. We want to prove to you that you can trust us and that we can deliver... before you pay us.
However... because we are membership financed and could really use the help... we do ask (if you can) that you pay for your first year, and if you do... your band gets "Platinum Member" status so you qualify for the Special "Platinum Member" Draws and Giveaways? A thank you from IMM for going the extra mile and helping us get going.
Q: As a Working Musician... should I get my own MVS (musician/vocalist/songwriter) membership?
A: YES, ABSOLUTELY... for several reasons... to get your own account (separate from the band) to make your own private permanent income... Also, to be able to link (Associate) your MVS Page to your Band or any other bands you may be or have been in... so that you show up under "Members" on those Bands Profile Pages... and... to give you the freedom to move from band to band and still keep your own (constantly growing) private account, income and pension... it's called, "Taking care of your future & Family".
IMM was built specifically for Fans and Musicians... these are the very memberships you make your money on... bands and businesses sign up with IMM... it's the Fans and Musicians that IMM pays you for. Remember everyone who joins with you, works for you.... do the math, it gets rather large.
Q: What do I do if I accidentally log off the IMM page when signing up?
A: Just go to IMM and log back in using the "Email" and "Password" you originally used to Register with... you can pickup right where you left off.
Q: Do the members really own IMM?
A: In Reality Yes... the membership takes home 20% of the gross revenue on signups and 10% of the gross revenue on renewals... making them the largest shareholder of the sites profits in the form of commissions. It's like being a partner at a law firm... the more business you bring in the more you get paid every year (remember in this law firm, your clients work for you too)... also... 100% of the money spent on music or comedy goes directly to the Artist being supported, you guys are doing business directly with each other in the kitchen.
Yeah... I'd say you own the house alright... that's why we built it this way... we wanted a site that was owned by it's members and this was the only way we could do it... so yes it's theirs or should I say yours?... We here at IMM just work for you guys... we keep the furnace running and the lights on.
Q: Can I change my email address that I used to signup with.
A: Because your email address is what we use for securing your site page... we did not make it changeable... but, due to reasons we did not forsee we now feel that this is an option we need to address.
At this time we are having our code writers add this function to the site. When you no longer see this message, it will be complete and functioning... you will also know when it is functional by checking your Dashboards... "Manage Profile Information" - "Manage Account Information" section... under your email address... if you see a "Change Email Address" button... then the function has been activated... be aware... there might be a fee for changing email addresses.
This is why we highly recommend that you use (for IMM) a large server email address that you cannot lose or forget... this way you'll never have to change it, it is unique to your room (page) on the IMM site.
Q: Does every penny of what I spend on music on IMM, really go to the artist?
A: Yes it most certainly does. There is no middle man, it goes directly into their account. Just ask an artist.
Q: Can we really make purchases without paying Transaction or Handling fees?
A: Yes you can... That's why we give each paid member an onsite account (Wallet). You can make purchases directly from this account avoiding Transaction and Handling Fees. This is where all your Commissions, Sales, and Donations go.
Q: Is my money safe on IMM?
A: Yes... all the Wallet money is held in a special Account by the Royal Bank of Canada... not even IMM can touch it.
Q: Does everybody I signup really work for me?
A: Absolutely... you bring us members and IMM PAYS YOU a commission, both on signup and every time they renew... IMM also pays you a second commission for each Member that one of your Members signs up... both on Signup and Renewal (see "Make Money").
We look at it this way... If you signup someone who makes IMM (and themselves) thousands of dollars... and you only get a single commission for finding and signing that person up... would you think that fair? Of course not, I didn't think so... and we don't either... that's why we pay you a commission for each of their customers. It's well worth it to IMM for the business... thank you... it's your paycheck... and it's this second commission that allows the Artists to make a living, not to mention you.. and it all comes from IMM's profits from renting this amazing platform... not one penny comes from the sale of music.
Q: Can you really make a lot of money doing this?
A: You tell me... if you applied yourself and signed up 1000 Fans and each of them only signed up 10 members... with our smallest (Fan) renewal commission at CDN $1.30... you'd have USD $14,300.00 coming in every year... now imagine if they sign up 20 or 30? This is a permanent income and you don't have to do another thing... your signups will do the work for you... imagine if they all went for 1000 members too???
Q: Is my membership tax deductable?
A: Yes it is...because on IMM, you advertise and promote yourself and earn money (check your countrys' tax laws) IMM is a business expense.
Q: Do I have to pay tax on the money I earn on IMM?
A: Yes you do, but only if you withdraw it from your Onsite Account. (again, check your countrys' tax laws)
Q: Why do you pay commissions?
A: It is the only way to give the Artists a steady paycheck and a pension... and the Fans (Public)... money to buy Tickets, Shirts, Albums, and Tracks with and help pay the bills... and it all comes from all of us... meaning, we are paying ourselves.
Q: Can we make deposits and withdrawals from our Onsite Account?
A: Yes you can... There is a Transaction fee charged by Stripe (our gateway provider) for deposits, but IMM DOES NOT charge Handling Fees for deposits or withdawals. You may withdraw money anytime you wish. You will find a green "Withdrawal" button at the top of your Wallet page.
Q: Can I use the money I spent to join as a "Fan" to upgrade to another membership?
A: No you cannot. This is why we ask you to make sure you have the right plan before joining. Only a "Free Member" can upgrade to another plan.
-------------------------------
IMM guarantees that all paid members will make money on IMM or we will refund their membership fee... and you can keep the random 15 Artist picked Bonus tracks (from 15 different Artists) that you get when you get your paid membership. That's $30-$40 worth of music right there (you get these 15 Bonus tracks every year).
All a member has to do to qualify for the refund, is to post one of our referral ads on their social media at least once a month for 6 months... it's as easy as a click of a button... just click on "Referral Code" in your "Dashboard Menu"... scroll down and select one of our ads and Share it... it's that easy. Remember, everyone who clicks on it and joins IMM... works for you... because we pay you for anyone that joins with them as well, and again on renewals, so the income is permanent. (To get to your "Dashboard Menu" from your members Profile Page, just click on your name in the top right corner).
Be aware that as a paid member, the site automatically signs up any new members (when they sign up directly with IMM) randomly with existing Fan, MVS or Band members ... so you get new members that work for you, just by being a paid member of IMM. We call it the "Randomizer".
Another change we have made is that you do not have to worry about renewing a paid membership... the site will do it for you... EG: A Fan membership is only $26 CAD/yr ($23.40 on Signup)... the site holds the first $26 earned in your Wallet and auto renews at the end of the year... if for some unfathomable reason there is not enough earnings in your Wallet to renew... renewal is automatic for what is there... if you have earned nothing (not going to happen), your membership still renews and you still get your 15 Bonus tracks.
Also... at anytime you can cancel your membership and withdraw all funds in your wallet... and (providing you have posted one of our ads once a month for 6 months) you can also get a full refund of your membership cost. Just go to "Contact Us"... "Returns" and send us your request.... do not call your CC company or bank, it costs the membership money... we will be glad to help.
This applies to all members, so you see, you cannot lose on IMM.
One last thing... our first 1000 members are platinum members, so they will get special draws and prizes as time goes on. A thank you from IMM for being the first onto the platform and helping us load the site with new members.
There is no limit to what you can earn on IMM... billions trade hands in music... don't you think it is about time we all shared in it?
Thanks for being a member if IMM.
All transactions on IMM are in CDN dollars.
