Removing 3D models from Turbosquid

I have set my account on Ts to non active because recent price guarantee policy made that service obsolete for me. The average revenue I’m having here on CGt is twice the amount I ever had on Ts, however, keep in mind I never went exclusive on Ts and worked on good position here from day one (took the 60% pain back then) and diverted all marketing efforts to my page here.

Exclusive artists better start realizing they are hurting themselves with supporting only one expensive service. There should be competition to deliver best service to them but how is that going to work if they keep their content on one service?

No one can help you if you do that ok.

You better manage your content yourself and use any opportunity for selling (non exclusively), realize we artist have the power to select the best partners/platforms providing the best tools and most cost effective service, but also realize that we lose that power when we fully sell out to only one.

Unfortunately exclusives have some dilemmas.
The market is getting distributed among meany new opportunity's for selling at lower cost and clients do not stay loyal to one expensive service if they simply google and find good content for less elsewhere. Exclusive artists will continue find themselves beaten down by competition hoe can deliver at lower cost without hurting themselves. On other hand if they upload content to another platform then Ts will confront them with a cliff of 60% while that artist knows he needs to spend some time getting good position on any new platform and google also needs some time to register their content on that new page.

So whatever the do they are going to have some pain before things get better.

The way I see it right now is that most 3D content customers (I’m also seller and customer) have multiple accounts on the established markets, they use one or the other account only if they encounter content they need that is not available on the other or if price is different. This means that if you are not exclusive on Ts you will no longer have any reason to keep same content on it, the small minority that is using Ts and do not have any other account is not worth the risk losing out on those that prefer to use the Ts shopping cart while they do have the other account (after this same price guarantee implementation). Before price guarantee we could think the ones that purchased the content on Ts where Ts customers that do not have any other account.

Also keep in mind that the pages are competing in Google, so you are potentially driving people to your content on a mush more expensive platform and losing out on them for nothing.

Just keep in mind that content can be delivered here at lower rates without hurting oneself because the platform cost is so low here, its hard to beat the sellers here, in the end they also have a nicer page, more professional presentation tools, less friction, etc. Sellers here can compete more successful in many way’s, for example have direct communications with customers and get new opportunity's arising out of that and vise versa, its a growing ecosystem. I got meany new ideas for improvements via the customer relations, its an indispensable recourse and a mutual benefit in meany way’s, customers get happy, get loyal with you, give positive feedback (improves your position), etc. Things are more in line with natural selection in this way, its more efficient and way more cost effective.

you do realize they arent telling you to reduce prices of your models right? theyre asking people to match their prices across the sites which makes sense, in my opinion you should have the exact same price on every market, otherwise your losing money on the ones where you priced it lower if people will buy your models at the higher prices elsewhere

Hello! I tried to sell my models on the car for one year. I earned 7 dollars))) Now I deleted my models there and actively fill my store here. For half a year I earned here 25 times more

On TS)))

What they essentialy want you to do is have the same price in all markets. And it makes NO sense to have different prices just because or royalty rates. Look at it this way. If you posted your model on TS for $100, and people actually buy it for that price, you get lets say $50 based on royalty rate. If you posted it on CGtrader for $100, youd get what, $70-$80? thats $20-$30 more on this site than on TS, so, why in the world would you lower your rate here because of royalties when you can charge the same higher price and get higher income? makes no sense. If you have a buyer who will pay that $100 for that model on TS, they will pay $100 for it on CGTrader. Otherwise, theres not even a point of posting your models on TS if you have it at a lower price here. I am a seller as well as a buyer, and if i find the same models in both places, Im going for the cheaper one, i dont care what royalties you get as a seller, or what the back end support is, etc etc.

I dont disagree with you on their other tactics but pricing to me should be even across every market regardless of what royalties you get, and from my understanding thats what they are trying to enforce, either raising your price on cg to match TS or lowering your price on TS to match CG. Regardless though, I do agree royalties should be higher on markets where WE the sellers basically keep these sites running.

Best of luck. Happy Sales to everyone.
