Get paid to clip
Brands and creators bring the long-form content and the budget. You find the moments, cut them vertical and post them on your own TikTok, Reels, Shorts or X. Every 1,000 verified views pays out at the campaign's rate, and joining is free.

People who already think in clips.
If you can sit through a long episode and know which moment will travel, you'll do well here. The editing is yours. We bring the campaigns and the budget behind them.

You already cut podcasts, streams or interviews for your own pages. Here the same work gets paid from a campaign budget.

Fan and theme pages
You run a page about a show, a sport or a topic, and you know what your followers stop scrolling for. Campaigns pay you to post more of it, with the creator on board.

Stream and podcast clip channels
You already sit through hours of VODs and episodes to find the moment that hits. That's the whole job here, and now the views pay.

People learning short-form editing
You don't need a big following. Feeds show clips to people who don't follow you yet, so a sharp cut can travel from a small account. Every campaign hands you real footage and clear rules to practice on.

Probably not for you if
- You reupload other people's clips or full episodes.
- You buy views, run bots or fake engagement.
- You skip a campaign's rules and hope nobody checks.
The math fits on one line.
Each campaign sets one rate per 1,000 views. Every verified view on your clips counts toward your payout, for as long as the campaign has budget.
Verified views divided by 1,000

Get paid per 1,000 views
Verified views turn into earnings at the campaign rate, paid from the campaign budget. Fake views never count.
Run your own numbers.
Pick a month of verified views and a campaign rate, and see what they add up to. It's the same formula we pay out with.
- Rates differ from campaign to campaign. Try a few to see the spread.
- Views only count once they pass verification, so real reach is what moves the number.
- Several campaigns at once is fine, as long as every clip follows its own campaign's rules.

Apply to joinHow do I make money clipping?
Every clipping campaign pays a set rate per 1,000 verified views. Post clips that follow the campaign's rules, submit the links, and you earn for the verified views those clips get, paid from the campaign budget.
Read the guide to making money clippingDo I need a big following?
No. Short-form feeds show videos to people who don't follow you yet, so strong work can do well on a small account. Some campaigns set their own requirements, and you'll see them before you join.
What counts as a verified view?
A view on a video you submitted that passes our checks. Views from bots, view-buying services, view farms or any other fake engagement are removed and never paid.
When do I get paid?
After your work is approved and, for clipping, your views are verified. Pay comes out of the campaign budget, so a campaign's terms and remaining budget are always shown before you join.
