Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Find answers to common questions about FameForecast here.
FameForecast revolutionizes the way music and content fans engage with their favorite artists and content creators. Fans compete monthly to predict which artists and content creators they believe will achieve the highest percentage follower growth across all major platforms. All fans will earn points based on their highest ranking prediction. Predictions can be made either for free or with FamePasses Predictions made with FamePasses will become part of the monthly competition where they can win prizes. Think of FameForecast as a fun, skill-based game for spotting rising stars! For details on how predictions work, see the Predictions & Competition section.
Predicting is simple:
- Search: Use the global search or platform boxes on [link to home page]—e.g., “Drake” (Spotify), “xQc” (Twitch).
- Results: View up to 10 creators—name, followers, and “Predict” button.
- Choose: Free (points only) or 1 FamePass (points + competition entry).
- Submit: Pick a creator to back—no need to guess a percentage; their actual growth competes for you.
- Track: Check daily updates on your [link to dashboard].
Here’s the mechanics:
- Tiers: Creators are ranked by follower count, updated monthly:
- Micro: 500-9,999 followers—volatile, high-growth potential.
- Mid-Tier: 10,000-99,999 followers—balanced growth.
- Established: 100,000-999,999 followers—steady growth.
- Mega: 1,000,000-9,999,999 followers—stable, moderate growth.
- Elite: 10,000,000+ followers—steady, lower growth rates.
- Period: Monthly—predict anytime, settles at 23:59 UTC on the last day.
- Growth: Back a creator; their actual % follower growth (e.g., 50M to 52.5M = +5%) determines your rank.
- Boosts: Mid-to-late month predictions get a boost—1.5x (days 11-20) or 2x (days 21-end)—multiplying your creator’s growth for scoring.
- Scoring: Points (1-100) based on your creator’s boosted growth rank within their tier and platform—see [link to scoring details].
- Data: Live from platform APIs (Spotify, YouTube, Twitch), updated daily.
