How getting paid to clip works
Every clipping campaign runs on the same loop: a brand funds a pot, you clip and post, the platform counts the views, and you're paid a set rate per 1,000 views.

How much can you make?
Because it's paid per view, there's no fixed ceiling. At roughly $1 per 1,000 views, a casual clipper might make ~$80 a month, a daily poster ~$400, and someone with the occasional viral hit ~$1,000+. Your number comes down to total views and the campaign's rate.

What you can clip

Choosing a platform
The platform decides how smooth — and how honest — the payout is. Look for platform-counted views (not screenshots), a clear per-1,000-view rate, accessible payouts, and no upfront fees. If you're weighing options, see how Whop clipping works and the best Whop clipping alternative.
