Platform Valuations
What is the ‘Suggested Price Per’ section?
Here you will see what we suggest as a starting point for negotiations with advertisers. You’ll notice that there are different sponsorship types that if you toggle between them it will change the suggested rate. A ‘Brand/Product Mention’ on YouTube should be quoted differently than a ‘Dedicated video.’
What is the engagement grade?
A platform’s engagement grade a proprietary metric that we’ve created to determine the amount of engagement your platform receives for post compared to other creators with a similar reach. Engagement grades range from C to A++.
What is the potential reach grade?
A platform’s reach grade is determined by the amount of followers your platform has in correspondence with other similar users on that same platform.
What is the viewership grade?
Unique to YouTube, the viewership grade is determined by the amount of views your videos receive in relation to other users on the YouTube.
Where do these numbers come from?
We calculate a suggested price based upon data (viewership, engagement, content genre, demographics, etc.) collected directly from the social platforms that we support. Our suggested rates take into account market fluctuations, monthly fluctuations, and the type of promotion the brand requests.
My metrics are out of date, how can I refresh my stats and get a new suggested rate?
Click the ‘Refresh My Platforms’ button located in the top right corner of one of your connected platforms. This will calculate your current platform’s suggested rate. In the event that your platforms metrics do not seem to be updating properly, please delete the platform and attempt to reconnect it. Doing so will update Social Bluebook’s authorization and should allow us to properly update your metrics. If the issue persists please reach out to us directly at support@socialbluebook.com
My viewership and engagements are up, so why did my suggested rate go down?
Certain months of the year are more profitable for marketing and advertising then others (i.e. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, etc.). Social Bluebook’s suggested rates account for these market and monthly fluctuations and we’re constantly honing in our pricing formulas as social platforms and the creator economy evolve.
How do I add additional platforms?
From the ‘Dashboard’ page, click on “Connect a Platform” button. This will open a drawer to allow you to connect any of the social platforms that we currently support.
Can I have my social platforms linked to more than one SBB account?
At this time, only one Social Bluebook account can hold your social media platform. If your social media platform is incorrectly linked to an SBB account that is not your current one, please email us at support@socialbluebook.com
How do I remove my a social platform from SBB?
From your Dashboard, click the blue square with the three dials that is located in the top-right of the platform you want to delete, then select ‘delete platform’.
When will other platforms be added?
We frequently add new platforms but require enough statistical data in order to do so. If there is a particular social platform that you’d like to see us add next please let us know at support@socialbluebook.com.
Platform Valuation Troubleshooting
Why don’t I get a value for my YouTube?
There can be a couple reasons you did not see your value:
You connected your Google+ or your Gmail that is associated with your YouTube channel, but not your actual channel. Be sure to connect the YouTube channel associated with the email you provided when linking your platform.
Your YouTube channel has less than 10 videos. You need at least 10 videos for Social Bluebook to calculate an accurate value.
You have not uploaded a video in over four years. You must have at least one video that is less than four years old for Social Bluebook to accurately calculate a value.
Why can’t I see my Facebook’s profile’s worth?
Facebook’s API only allows pages to receive a suggested rate. If you do not have a page associated with your personal profile, you will not receive a suggested sponsored rate.
My stats are out of date.
Click the ‘Refresh My Platforms’ button located in the top right corner of one of your connected platforms. This will calculate your current platform’s suggested rate. In the event that your platforms metrics do not seem to be updating properly, please delete the platform and attempt to reconnect it. Doing so will update Social Bluebook’s authorization and should allow us to properly update your metrics. If the issue persists please reach out to us directly at support@socialbluebook.com
These numbers seem too high/low.
All values provided are a starting point for your negotiations. If the number seems high, you may have been underpaid for the previous deals you’ve worked on. The range provided with the suggested price shows your lowest value if the brand is not a fit for your content, and the highest value if the brand is a perfect fit for your content.
My platform is not working.
If your platform was once working and is not working anymore, first delete and re-add your platform to Social Bluebook.
If adding a platform for the first time or re-adding a platform does not work, contact us either via our contact form or support@socialbluebook.com and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
