What does Engagement Rate mean?

Reach vs Impressions

Reach is the number of unique accounts that saw your content; impressions count total views including repeats. If one person sees your post three times, that is 1 reach and 3 impressions. Reach measures audience breadth; impressions measure total exposure — and ratio between them shows how often people re-view.

Algorithm

On social media, "the algorithm" is the recommendation system deciding what each user sees — ranking posts by predicted engagement using signals like watch time, likes, shares, and relationships. Creators talk about "feeding," "fighting," or being "blessed by" the algorithm because distribution, not just content quality, determines reach.

Media Kit

A media kit is a creator's pitch document for brands, typically a one-to-three page PDF or link covering audience size and demographics, engagement stats, content niches, past partnerships, and contact details. It functions as a resume for brand deals, answering a marketer's qualifying questions in one glance.
