Paid promotion for creators, funded by anyone who wants them seen.
Placement = promotion budget.
What it is
HypeUp sells advertising: promotional placement for creators on a public showcase. Every creator has one campaign. Money added to the campaign buys its placement — the larger the budget, the more prominent the placement, exactly like any ad platform. Anyone can fund a campaign: fans, fan pages, brands, or the creator. A hype is an advertising purchase.
How placement works
Campaigns are ordered by total budget. Equal budgets are ordered by which reached that total first. The showcase always shows each campaign's current budget so pricing is transparent.
There are three showcase windows — All-time, This week (Monday–Sunday UTC) and Today (UTC) — and the same three for each of 12 categories.
What sponsors get
Your name, link and role on the campaign page if you want them, and a "Lead sponsor" credit on campaigns you fund most. Turn on campaign updates and we'll email you when your creator's placement changes.
What creators get
A campaign page to share, a "Promoted on HypeUp" badge for your bio, and a story image to share. Verify your profile to get the ✓ and edit your tagline, link and avatar. Verifying never moves money.
Money
Hypes start at $1 ($5 to start a new campaign) and are final, like any ad spend. Pay by card, or by UPI in rupees where it's offered.
Hyping $1 at a time? Sign in and load Ad Credits once ($5, $10 or $25) to skip the card fee on every hype.
