COMMON QUESTIONS
Creator CPM FAQ
What does CPM mean for creators?
CPM is the campaign price for every 1,000 expected views or impressions. It helps compare deals of different sizes.
Is a higher CPM always better?
Not necessarily. A higher CPM may reflect valuable audience fit, complex production, licensing or exclusivity. Results and workload matter alongside the metric.
Should I use followers or views?
Use expected views or impressions for CPM. Followers can describe potential audience size but do not equal delivered exposure.
