MEASUREMENT & ATTRIBUTION

Views are the start of the story.

Creator marketing should be assessed across the journey from discovery to a paid page. Reach, profile visits, clicks and subscribers answer different questions. Keep them separate before you connect them.

Four numbers, four different questions

Reach or views
Did the content get seen? Check whether your report counts unique accounts, video plays or another measure. Do not treat those definitions as interchangeable.
Profile visits
Did the content create enough interest for someone to look at the creator? A larger audience is not automatically a more interested audience.
Link clicks
Did interested visitors take the next step? Clicks are not the same as new people, completed subscriptions or sales.
New paid subscribers and eligible revenue
Did the activity lead to the business outcome you agreed to measure? Establish what the platform actually reports and what can be attributed.

A worked example, not a client result

Imagine a reporting window with 100,000 video views, 2,000 profile visits, 200 link clicks and 20 new paid subscribers. Dividing those figures gives a 2% view-to-visit ratio, a 10% visit-to-click ratio and a 10% click-to-subscriber ratio.

These are illustrative calculations, not benchmarks, forecasts or evidence that every subscriber came from those views. Repeat visits, different time windows, existing followers and other channels can all affect the interpretation. Use the example to ask better questions, not to set an earnings expectation.

Agree on attribution before a percentage

Start with a baseline: what was happening before the agreed work? Then define the reporting window, the sources you can measure and the revenue included. Decide how existing fans, organic discovery and activity by another team will be treated.

If several accounts contribute to reach, show the combined total as a combined total. If a metric cannot be connected reliably to sales, say so. A sensible report distinguishes observed activity from an interpretation about its cause.

Read our selected reach case in context

The Bloom & Signal homepage describes one selected case from our team’s past creator work: more than 1.8 million views within 48 hours across multiple accounts, conservatively rounded and anonymised.

That figure describes combined reach activity. It is not a single-account result, a count of paying subscribers, an average result or a promise for your account. It does not, by itself, establish revenue or profit. We keep creator names and account details private.

Use a report that supports a decision

  • Record the platform, account and exact start and end of the reporting period.
  • Keep metric definitions consistent and identify any missing data.
  • Separate content published during the period from older content still receiving attention.
  • Compare the next stage of the journey before scaling a high-view idea.
  • Write down what you will keep, change or test next, and why.

A post with fewer views can still deserve attention if it brings more relevant visitors. Equally, a reach spike can be useful discovery without proving a sales improvement. The decision depends on your goal and the evidence available.

How this connects to our 28% fee

Our proposed share is 28% of net revenue attributable to the agreed marketing work, after platform fees and refunds. The attribution method, existing fans and reporting window are agreed in writing. A big view count does not change that fee basis.
