FYPM is a platform where creators can anonymously share their experiences collaborating with different brands and search crowdsourced compensation data, making it easier to figure out what price to charge for their services. Like Glassdoor, but purpose-built for the needs of this community.

Our requirements are designed to protect the integrity of the FYPM community, generate a robust, useful dataset and encourage an environment where every FYPM member feels safe to express themselves honestly and contribute back to the community.
You count as an influencer if you have ever made an agreement with a brand and/or outside entity to promote the brand and/or outside entity on your social media in exchange for some form of compensation, including, but not limited to: cash; free product and/or services; discounts; travel expenses; gift cards; event tickets; "exposure"; etc.

FYPM is a platform dedicated to the advancement of underprivileged groups of people in society. We ask influencers in our community to disclose personal information about race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. so we can create a track record of individual brands' hiring patterns and hold them accountable to their commitments to diverse representation and equitable pay. We take your privacy seriously and will never share your name, email address, social media profile or other identifying details without your consent.
The FYPM Brand Score is an aggregate measure of a brand's influencer friendliness based on ratings provided by FYPM users. The score ranges from 1-5 with 5 being the highest (most positive).
The FYPM Brand Score is determined solely based on the experiences of the FYPM influencers who worked with the brand. When influencers review collabs on FYPM, they rate their experience working with the brand on several dimensions, including Overall Experience, Communication, Creative Freedom, and Timeliness. We use a proprietary formula to derive the Brand Score from these ratings, that is based on the proportion of influencers who have had positive, negative, or natural experiences working with the brand. This formula may change over time as we receive more data and feedback from our influencer community.
Today, the FYPM Brand Score is based on the experience ratings submitted by FYPM users. These ratings reflect the diverse opinions and perspectives of the individual members of our community, some of whom may consider a gifted collab to be a positive experience.
At FYPM, our opinion is that cash is king and that influencers deserve to be paid in more than product. Although the Brand Score does not currently incorporate compensation data, we're actively working on ways to improve our brand scoring algorithm to reward brands that pay cash over those that do not.
The short reason we haven't done this yet is that we're taking the time to make sure we get it right. Just because a brand pays doesn't mean they pay well (or on time!). A high percentage of paid collabs can be a false flag if those collabs were underpaid relative to the collab's deliverable requirements or contract terms. We want to make sure we're rewarding brands that pay well not just those that pay the bare minimum.
We are actively developing new tools to help you benchmark brands and rate their compensation relative to the other brands in our database. We aim to have these available in early 2023 :)
The Brand Score updates as we receive new reviews for a brand, so brands score’s may change over time as we receive new ratings from the FYPM community.
FYPM Brand Explore is a tool to compare brands that people are talking about on FYPM. The tool allows you to compare brands by Brand Score, and other metrics, such as percentage of reviews that include cash compensation. Brands must have 5 reviews to be included in the tool the metrics update in real-time as we receive new reviews.
In order to keep the information on our site fresh, we are asking users who have not contributed a review within the past 30 days to review another brand collab in order to access the tool. If you haven’t completed any new collabs since your last review, please reach out to FYPM support at support@fypm.vip about alternative ways of accessing the Leaderboard.
Our biggest priority is to provide transparency to influencers. We also believe that everyone in the community benefits from recognizing the brands that treat influencers well. We also believe that there’s an opportunity for brands with lower ratings to learn and improve, and we want to help them do so.
Brand representatives are eligible to apply for FYPM for Business. FYPM for Business is a new product we are launching in 2023, which will enable brands to claim their brand page on FYPM, subscribe to changes in their FYPM Brand score, and more.
