Clipping, explained
People get paid $1.50 per 1,000 views to clip videos
Average live rate across all open campaigns
Not a course, not a referral scheme. Brands pay by the view for short clips of their content. Here's what that pays, and how to start without your account getting blocked in the first week.
Five minutes to read. Free to start.
The money
Drag the sliders. That's the whole business model.
Views you get, clips you post, rate the campaign pays. Nothing else changes the number.
What could clipping pay you?
One clip can pay for the whole month
There is no limit on what one upload can earn. At $1.50 per 1K, the live rate across open campaigns right now:
On a campaign with budget left, from one clip on one upload.
And the part nobody counts
Nobody checks all 21. You keep up with the four or five you know, and they are not the same job. Going through a big board properly — 80+ campaigns open, so the terms, the budget left, and whether any of it beats what you already run — is two or three hours. A smaller one is 20 to 30 minutes. One full round is about 6 hours.
Do that twice a week and it is 54 hours a month — more than a working week — spent looking for work instead of doing it, and the 16 platforms you never open are where the best drop of the week drained without you.
And that is the price of decent campaigns, not the best ones. The best ones drain in a day or two — shorter than the gap between your own rounds — so most of them open and close while you are not looking.
Plenty of those rounds end with nothing worth taking: everything open is either drained, badly paid or closed to your platform. The hours are gone the same as any other. ClipRadar is $25 — about $0.46 an hour to get that time back, on all 21.
Then you hit a limit
Three of them, in this order. Only the first one is about you.
Your editing is yours to improve. But a perfect clip of someone nobody follows still gets no views — and a campaign page won't tell you which one you're looking at.
The viral score tells you how big the subject's audience is, and how well they clip, before you spend an evening on it.
Three accounts need three times as many campaigns, all open at the same time, all with budget left. Campaigns drain in days, so you never stop looking.
Every campaign from 21 platforms in one feed, with the budget left on each — and an alert about two minutes after a new one opens.
After a few hundred clips, the question isn't what to post any more. It's which niches and which hosts are worth doing again — and guessing wrong wastes a month.
Views and payouts counted per clip, and a plain summary of each month, so your own records answer that instead of your memory.

Getting started
Four 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
5 minutesGaming, podcasts, football, music. You'll watch hours of it looking for good moments, so pick something you'd watch anyway — then check what that niche pays, because some 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 once a platform decides that, it is hard to change its mind. A few days of using the account like a normal person fixes it — and the watching is also research, because you learn what already gets views in your niche.
Boring, free, and skipping it is the single biggest reason people quit in week one. Once the account is warm, posting more is what 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 far down the campaign page: 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 the campaign, so you don't have to look for them.
Post it, submit it, get paid
per clipVertical, subtitled, the best moment in the first second. The views arrive over days, so post it and leave it alone.
ClipRadar counts those views, works out what you are owed, and sums each month up in a couple of sentences: which campaign earned the most, and whether it came from three big days or thirty small ones. After a few months, those records tell you which niches and hosts really pay, instead of which ones felt like they did.
Where to find campaigns
There's no one place to find them
There is no single list of them all, and no platform tells you about the other ones. Campaigns open on 21 different platforms, plus the Discord servers brands run themselves, and each one has its own signup and writes its campaigns a different way. 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 the best part of a day, twice a week — often to find nothing worth taking — and whatever opens on the platforms you didn't get to, you never see at all.
Read them in one feed
Free to start- ClipRadar checks all 21 of those platforms for you and puts every open campaign in one feed — then filters it down to a minimum rate per 1K, budget still left, and the niches and platforms you actually clip, so what you read is only what's worth your time. The rate, the budget and the posting rules sit on every card.
- Free: you pick a niche and get one full campaign in it, every day — the whole campaign, nothing held back.
- Paid: the whole board — all 1,813 live campaigns, including the 45 that opened in the last 24 hours, and an alert about two minutes after the next one does.
- Either way you see a campaign while its budget is still full, instead of finding it after the money is gone.
The words
Six words and you can read any campaign
Every campaign page assumes you know these six. 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.
The views a campaign actually counts. Not always the same as the number on your video — clips that break the rules don't count.
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.
Picking well
Three things that decide what you keep
None of them is your editing, and you can check all three before you start. That is the entire reason ClipRadar exists.
Being early beats a high rate
Good campaigns drain in days. Join late and a 200,000-view clip earns nothing, because the budget was gone while you were still editing.
ClipRadar watches 21 platforms and tells you about two minutes after a campaign opens — and shows how much budget is left on every one.
The rate you see isn't the rate you get
Most campaigns only start paying after a minimum number of views, and most only pay for clips posted on certain platforms. Both are usually buried far down the page.
Every campaign here shows its minimum views, where you're allowed to post, and how long it has left, in their own fields next to the rate.
Some hosts are slow to pay
The host is the brand or creator paying for the clips. Most campaigns pay out fine. A few hosts are slow, or strict about approving clips, and there is no one place to look that up — so people only find out after they have done the work.
Clippers report their payouts back into ClipRadar, so you can see each host's record on its campaigns and choose the ones that pay well.
Why views stay low
Your editing isn't the limit. The audience is.
Two people cut the same stream in the same week, and one clip does a hundred times what the other does. Almost all of that was decided before either of them opened an editor — by how many people already cared about the person in the clip.
A clip borrows an audience — it doesn't build one. The 400 see it because they already follow him. The two million are already looking for exactly this.
Editing is a multiplier. It needs something to multiply.
The campaign page won't tell you which one you're looking at. It gives you the rate, the budget and the rules — so the choice that decides your view count gets made on the rate alone, because the rate is the only number there.
That's what the viral score is for: the clipper whose editing is fine and whose views aren't.
Viral potential
0–100Every campaign that reaches ClipRadar is read by a language model. It works out who or what the campaign is actually about — the creator, the show, the game — and scores how well short clips of that subject are likely to spread. It weighs four things before it gives a number:
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 adverts 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 don't need 1,813 campaigns in your first week — you need one you can start today. Make a free account, pick the niche you know, and ClipRadar unlocks one full campaign in it every day: the rate, the budget left, the rules, its viral score with the reason behind it, and the link to claim it. Underneath it sits the rest of the board — every live campaign with its rate and budget, and the names open on the ones that have run 72 hours and are down to their last 35% of budget. Paying opens the rest, the hour they land.
