FM Isn’t Just Radio Anymore - It’s Fan Management & Fan Monetization

When most people hear FM, they think of Frequency Modulation, the way radio stations have broadcast sound for nearly a century.

But the world has changed. We’re not tuning in to stations anymore. We’re tuning in to people.

At popup.fm, we’re flipping the script: FM = Fan Management + Fan Monetization.

Because whether you’re an artist, a brand, or a creator, you don’t need a signal tower anymore. You are the signal.

Be Your Own Media Empire

With popup.fm, you can build your own:

Fan Management: Know Who’s With You

Social media gives you “followers.” popup.fm gives you fans - real supporters who are invested in your journey and willing to back it long-term.

That’s the essence of From Followers & Listeners to Fans, where we explore how streaming numbers and social likes don’t pay the bills - but real fan relationships do. Learn how to guide casual supporters into loyal superfans and maximize Fan Lifetime Value (FLV).

You own your audience on popup.fm. You see who engages, who buys, and who shows up. This isn't about vanity metrics. It’s about meaningful connection and sustainable growth.

On popup.fm, you can:
