Creator Promotion Metrics Guide

A practical glossary of impressions, reach, CTR, profile views, outbound clicks, conversion, CAC, fan value and retention for creator campaigns.

Top-of-funnel metrics

Impressions and reach describe exposure. They do not prove that users visited a creator profile or bought anything.

Middle-of-funnel metrics

Profile views and outbound clicks show stronger intent and help compare discovery surfaces.

Business metrics

Conversion, acquisition cost, repeat purchases and retention determine whether visibility turns into a sustainable creator business.

Put the guide into a repeatable workflow

Turn the idea into a repeatable workflow: define who handles the task, which tools are used, how often results are reviewed and what should trigger a change.

Measure the outcome, not the activity

Do not confuse work performed with business impact. Track the metric that the process is supposed to improve — for example qualified clicks, conversion, repeat purchases, retention, time saved, fewer content errors or more reliable team handoffs.
