For brands and creators
What is Clipugo?
Clipugo is where brands and creators hire clippers and UGC creators for short-form video. Clippers turn your long videos into short clips and post them on their own TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and X accounts. UGC creators film new videos around your product. The network has more than 10,000 clippers.
What's the difference between clippers and UGC creators?
Clippers work from content you already have, like streams, podcasts and videos. They cut the best moments into clips and post them on their own accounts. UGC creators make new videos, like product demos, reviews and unboxings, filmed to your brief.
How does a clipping campaign work?
You share your source content, set a total budget and a pay rate per 1,000 views, and write the rules clips have to follow. Clippers pick up the campaign, post clips and submit the links. We track views on every clip, review clips against your rules, remove fake views, and pay clippers from your budget until it runs out or you pause the campaign.
See how campaigns work for brandsHow do I hire UGC creators?
Launch a campaign and tell us what you need: the product, the kind of video, the platforms and your rules. UGC creators who fit the brief pick it up, and you review their videos before anything is paid.
Book a demoHow much does it cost?
You decide. Your budget and the pay you set decide the spend, and a campaign stops when its budget is used.
View pricingDo I pay for fake or botted views?
No. We check every clip for signs of fake engagement, like sudden view spikes, engagement that doesn't match the views, and suspicious accounts, and remove those views before anyone is paid. You only pay for views that pass.
Can I approve videos before they're paid?
Yes. Review videos yourself, or have our team review them against your rules. Anything that breaks the rules doesn't get paid.
Where do the videos get posted?
Clippers post on their own accounts on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and X, which is how your content reaches people outside your own channel. You choose which platforms each campaign allows.
Can I control how my content and brand are used?
Yes. Your rules can cover length, style, captions, what has to be tagged or linked, and anything that's off limits. Videos that break them are rejected.
Can I pause or stop a campaign?
Yes. Pause a campaign whenever you want. It also ends on its own when the budget runs out, so you never spend more than you set.
What reporting do I get?
Verified views, spend, videos and talent for each campaign, broken down by platform and by video, plus the views we removed and why.
For clippers and UGC creators
Is it free to join?
Yes. Clippers and UGC creators never pay to join Clipugo or to join a campaign.
Apply to joinI make UGC, not clips. Can I join?
Yes. Apply as a UGC creator and show us videos you've made. Brands post briefs for the videos they need, and you pick the ones that fit.
See how it works for UGC creatorsHow 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 clippingHow do UGC creators get paid?
Each UGC campaign sets its pay in the brief, so you know the terms before you film anything. Approved videos are paid from the campaign budget.
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.
Do 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.
Which platforms can I post on?
TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and X. Each campaign lists the platforms it pays for.
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.
What happens if I buy views or use bots?
The fake views are removed, the video isn't paid, and your account can be banned. It's all in the guidelines.
Read the guidelinesDo I have to say a video is paid?
Yes, wherever the law or the platform requires it, and for paid promotion it usually does. Use the platform's paid-partnership label or a clear tag like #ad. The guidelines explain when.
Can I join more than one campaign?
Yes. Join as many as you can keep up with, as long as every video follows its own campaign's rules.
