Clipping, explained
People get paid $2.00 per 1,000 views to clip videos
Average live rate across all open campaigns
Brands and influencers pay people to make short clips of their content. Here's what that pays, how AI can make the clips for you, and how to start without your account getting blocked in the first week.
Five minutes to read. Free to start.
The money
What clipping actually pays
Drag the sliders: views you get, clips you post, rate the campaign pays. Nothing else changes the number.
Your numbers
An estimate, not a promise. Yours might differ.
One clip can pay for the whole month
There is no limit on what one upload can earn. At $2.00 per 1K, the live rate across open campaigns right now:
And the part nobody counts
Then you hit a limit
Three of them, in the order you meet them as you add accounts.
Editing, and what you edit
A clip cut by hand takes an evening, and a great clip of someone nobody follows still gets no views.
AI Clips makes the clips from any video, to the campaign's rules. The viral score says if the subject is worth it.
Finding enough open campaigns
Three accounts need three times the campaigns, all with budget left, and they drain in days.
Every campaign from 21 platforms in one feed, and an alert about two minutes after one opens.
Knowing what actually paid
After a few hundred clips, the question is which niches and hosts are worth doing again.
Views and payouts counted per clip, with a short summary each month.

Getting started
Five steps to your first payout
Ten minutes a day for three or four days, then you're just posting clips. No equipment, no money, no followers needed.
Pick a niche you already watch
3 minutesStreamers, podcasts, football, music. Pick something you'd watch anyway, then check what it pays: some niches pay much more than others.
One niche per account, so the algorithm knows who to show it to.
Warm the account up first
10-15 min a day, 3-4 daysA brand-new account posting polished clips looks like a bot, and that is hard to undo. Use it like a normal person for a few days first, and learn what gets views in your niche while you do.
Already have an account you use? It is warm, so skip straight to posting.
Skipping this is the biggest reason people quit in week one. Once it is warm, volume matters most: two or three clips a day is where it starts to be real money.
Check three things before you edit
2 minutesAll three decide what a campaign really pays, and all three are usually buried: minimum views before anything counts, total budget & budget left, and where you're allowed to post.
Get one wrong and a good clip earns nothing: an empty budget pays you the same as a clip nobody watched. ClipRadar shows all three on every campaign.
Make it, post it, get paid
per clipVertical, subtitled, the best moment in the first second. Cut it in CapCut, or paste the video into ClipRadar's AI Clips and let AI make the clips to the campaign's rules (7 a month free). Then post it and leave it alone: views arrive over days.
ClipRadar counts the views and works out what you are owed, with a short summary each month of what paid best.
Keep posting while it still looks flat
1-3 weeksAlmost nobody's first week works. The platform is still working out who to show you to, and views take days to land.
Most people stop in the flat part. The clippers earning real money are not better editors than you. They are the ones still posting in week four.
Give it three weeks: two or three clips a day, one niche per account. Study the clips in your niche that got views this week (the first second, the caption, the cut) and make yours look like those.
Each of these steps is also a free lesson, if you want the longer version.
One clip
What a clip that lands is worth
Three real clips from streams and a podcast, and what those views would pay at $2.00 per 1K while the budget lasts.
Where to find campaigns
There's no one place to find them
Campaigns open on 21 platforms plus brands' own Discord servers, each with its own signup, and none of them lists the others. You have two options:
Check every platform yourself
Free- Make an account on the big platforms (Whop, ContentRewards, Clipster, Clipperz), then join the Discord servers of the brands whose clips you already watch.
- Go back every few days. Campaigns spend their budget fast, so what you saw last week is already out of date.
- On every campaign you like, check three things before you edit: the rate, the budget left, and where you're allowed to post.
It's free. It just costs you 6 hours you meant to spend editing, twice a week , and what opens on the platforms you didn't get to, you never see at all.
Read them in one feed
Free to start- All 21 platforms in one feed, filtered to your rate, niches and budget left.
- Free: campaigns winding down, open by name. They still pay, and nobody is racing you to them.
- Free, daily: one full campaign in a niche you pick.
- Free, clips: 7 AI clips a month, with a small ClipRadar mark.
- Paid: all 2,150 campaigns (44 new in 24h), alerts within minutes, and clips without the mark.
The words
Five words and you can read any campaign
Every campaign page assumes you know these five. You don't need anything else to start.
What a campaign pays per 1,000 views. $2 per 1K on 100,000 views is $200. It's the number you compare campaigns on.
The total amount of money the campaign has. Everyone gets paid out of it, and when it's empty the campaign stops paying, even if your clip is still growing.
A new campaign opening. The good ones spend their whole budget in days, so getting there early matters more than anything else.
How many views a clip needs before it earns anything at all. Below that number you get nothing, however good the clip was.
One creator or brand paying for clips of their content, with a rate, a budget, rules and an end date.
What those rates are actually worth, niche by niche, is lesson two of the course.
Picking well
Three things that decide what you keep
None of them is your editing, and ClipRadar shows all three before you start.
Being early beats a high rate
Good campaigns drain in days. Join late and even a 200,000-view clip earns nothing.
ClipRadar alerts you about two minutes after a campaign opens on any of the 21 platforms.
The rate you see isn't the rate you get
Most campaigns only pay past a minimum view count, and only on certain platforms. Both are buried far down the page.
Every campaign here shows its minimum views, where you're allowed to post and time left, next to the rate.
Some hosts are slow to pay
Most campaigns pay out fine. A few hosts (the brand or creator paying) are slow or strict, and people find out after doing the work.
Clippers report their payouts here, so you see each host's record before you start.
Why views stay low
Why the same work does 100× on a different streamer
Same week, same editing, and one clip does a hundred times the other. The difference is which streamer they picked.
Editing is a multiplier. It needs something to multiply.
Campaign pages only show the rate, so people pick on the rate alone. The viral score shows how big the subject's audience is and how well they clip, before you spend the evening.
Viral potential
0–100AI works out who each campaign is about and scores how well short clips of them spread, on four things:
How many people already follow the subject, and how much they watch.
How easy it is to cut into good clips. Reactions, drama and funny moments work well; polished ads do not.
Whether people are talking about the subject right now. Someone popular last year gets last year's views.
Whether clip channels already repost this subject: proof people want exactly what you're about to make.
“huge Twitch reach + clippable rage moments”
Every score carries the one-line reason it was given, so you can disagree with it.
It isn't a fame score
A medium-size creator with very clippable moments scores higher than a famous but boring one. Reach is one of four things it looks at, not the answer.
It's separate from the deal
The opportunity score rates the offer: rate per 1,000, budget left, how strict the rules are. A great offer for a subject nobody wants clips of is still a wasted evening.
It never guesses
An app or product advert with no creator behind it gets no viral score at all, instead of a made-up one. An empty field tells you something too.
One campaign a day, free
You need one campaign you can start today, not 2,150. Free account, pick the niche you know, and get one full campaign a day, including its viral score with the reason behind it, plus the ones winding down and 7 AI clips a month.
