Bounties

Bounties are what you submit clips to. Learn how per view and pool bounties pay, how minimum views work, and what each bounty state means.

Updated 2 min read

A bounty is the unit of work inside a campaign, and every clip goes to exactly one bounty. Each bounty has its own:

  • pay, either a rate per view or a pool
  • budget, shared by every clipper posting to it, or no cap
  • open and end dates
  • minimum views to qualify
  • audience, accepted categories, brief and assets

Bounty cards on a campaign page. Open one to see its full terms.

Per view or pool

Per view bounties show a rate per 100K views. Once you've qualified, your counted views on the bounty multiplied by the rate are what you earn.

Pool bounties show a fixed pool, split across qualifying clippers by views. If your clips earn 20% of the bounty's counted views, you get 20% of the pool.

Open a bounty

Open a bounty from its campaign page. The bounty sheet has four tabs:

  • Overview. The terms, your progress and the details.
  • Brief. What to make, written by the campaign team.
  • Assets. Files and links to clip from.
  • Submit. Where you paste your post links. See Submitting clips.

The terms at the top of the Overview:

TermMeaning
Rate or PoolWhat the bounty pays
Qualify atThe minimum views, counted as your total on this bounty
BudgetThe bounty's cap and how much is claimed, or "No cap"
LeftWhat's left of the budget, shared by every clipper

Your progress shows how close your counted views are to the minimum, for example "18.5K more views across your clips and this bounty starts paying." Once you reach it, it says you've qualified.

How minimum views work

  • A clip needs more than 1,000 views before its views count at all.
  • A bounty's minimum is measured against your total counted views on that bounty.
  • If a bounty doesn't set its own minimum, the campaign's minimum applies, counted across your views on all of the campaign's bounties.
  • Once you reach the minimum, all your counted views pay, not just the views above it.

End dates and budgets

A bounty takes clips until it ends or its budget is claimed, whichever comes first. Many have no end date and show "No end date · runs until the budget is claimed". Others show Ends with a date. Because budgets are shared, a popular bounty can reach its cap quickly, so check Left before you spend time on a clip.
