What is influencer CPM?

Influencer CPM is the cost per 1,000 impressions for creator content. It helps normalize pricing across creators and campaigns.

How do I calculate CPM from price and impressions?

CPM = (Price ÷ Impressions) × 1,000. Example: $2,000 ÷ 100,000 × 1,000 = $20 CPM.

What counts as total cost?

Use an all-in price: creator fee + gifting + usage rights + whitelisting + agency/production fees.

Are impressions and views the same?

Not always. Impressions can be served or viewable; views may have platform-specific definitions. Compare CPM only with consistent definitions.

Should I compare CPM across creators?

Yes, but only after normalizing definitions and considering audience fit, content quality, and deliverables.
