Earnings & Payouts
Understanding how payments work on CLIPPING
Earnings & Payouts
Learn how you get paid for creating viral clips on CLIPPING.
How Earnings Work
Your earnings are based on the views your clips generate. Each campaign sets its own payment rates per platform.
Payment Rate Examples
Campaigns pay per 1,000 views. Rates vary by campaign and platform:
Rates are set by brands when they create campaigns based on their budget and goals.
Each campaign sets its own rates. Check individual campaign details for exact payment information.
Example Calculation
Let's say you submit a TikTok clip to a campaign paying $15 per 1,000 views:
Clip Views: 50,000
Campaign Rate: $15 per 1,000 views
Minimum Views: 5,000
Calculation:
(50,000 views / 1,000) × $15 = $750You would earn $750 for that clip!
Minimum View Thresholds
Most campaigns have a minimum view requirement to qualify for payment:
- Below Threshold: Not eligible for payment (e.g., 4,000 / 10,000 views)
- Above Threshold: Eligible for payment (e.g., 12,000 / 10,000 views)
Only clips that meet or exceed the minimum view threshold will be paid.
Campaign Caps
Some campaigns have maximum payout caps to control budget:
| Cap Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Per Clip | Maximum earnings per individual clip | $500 per clip |
| Per Campaign | Total earnings across all your clips | $2,000 per campaign |
| Total Budget | Campaign stops when budget depleted | $50,000 total |
Once a cap is reached, view tracking stops. Submit early to maximize earnings!
Pot System
Some campaigns use a performance-based pot system for bonus rewards:
How Pots Work
- Campaign sets pot value (e.g., $10,000)
- Track your performance rank against other clippers
- Top performers split the pot when campaign ends
Example Distribution:
Total Pot: $10,000
Your Views: 500,000 (20% of total campaign views)
Your Pot Share: $10,000 × 20% = $2,000This is in addition to your base earnings from view rates!
