Key Takeaways
A clipping campaign turns one long video into dozens of short ones. A brand uploads a podcast, stream or interview, sets a budget and a rate, and invites clippers to find the moments worth sharing. Clippers post those moments on YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels, and the brand pays for the reach they create.
The three roles
How earnings are calculated
Most campaigns pay per 1,000 verified views. If a campaign pays $1.50 per 1K views and your clip reaches 50,000 verified views, that clip earns $75, up to any per-clip cap the brand has set. Some campaigns pay a flat bounty for each approved clip instead.
> **Key Tip**: Rates, minimum views and caps differ for every campaign. Always read the campaign page before you start.
Why verification matters
Views are checked against platform data before money moves. That protects brands from paying for artificial reach and protects honest clippers from being diluted by it. A clip is approved first, then its views are verified, then earnings land in your wallet.
