Just wanted to get feedback on if members had noticed an increase in business by upgrading to VIP or Premium membership.

having VIP didn't really impact things one way or the other. maybe at the beginning when models aren't sure if you are legit/serious.

to me paying is a way to help support mayhem more than a way to get useful features.

There were times when the 40/100 messages limit made it worth it. Now I send out very few, mostly get incoming messages, so that's not worth it anymore.

I'd be fine with my legacy 30 images, 500 is absolutely unnecessary.


It's worth it if:
You want to post 500 images that most people won't ever see
You want to send more than (10?) messages per day.

That's about it.

You might see an increase in business if your business plan is based on spamming 100 MM members every day.
Still pretty doubtful considering half the models are here to get paid with the remainder being here for a hobby. There's not much actual "business" here for photographers.

Thank you all, may look at VIP after New Year just to give me the chance to display a little more of my work.
