CLIPPING

Quickstart for clippers

Sign in with Discord, link and verify a social account, add a payout method and submit your first clip to a bounty.

Go from signing in to your first tracked clip. Each step shows the screen you'll see.

  1. Sign in with Discord

    Go to Sign in. Under Sign in as Clipper, choose Continue with Discord. Your name and picture come from your Discord profile.

  2. Finish the three setup steps

    New accounts go through Profile, Accounts and Payouts before the dashboard opens. All three can be skipped and finished later.

    • Profile. An optional line about what you clip.
    • Accounts. Choose Link account for each account you post from. Until one is verified, the button reads Skip for now.
    • Payouts. Choose Add method and add PayPal, USDT or USDC on Ethereum.

    Accounts and payout methods save as soon as you add them. Choose Finish setup to open your dashboard.

    The last setup step. Finish setup opens your dashboard.

  3. Verify your account

    Clips only count from verified accounts. Right after you link an account, a sheet opens with a 5-digit code. Put the code in that account's bio as its own number, save, then choose Check my bio. You can also open the sheet later with Verify on the account's row in Accounts.

    clipping.net/dashboard/accounts
    Codes stay valid for 6 hours. The sheet also checks on its own while it's open.

    When the account shows Verified, you can remove the code. See Social accounts for where the bio lives on each platform.

  4. Pick a campaign

    Open Campaigns in your dashboard, or browse the public directory at clipping.net/c/discover. Rates are shown per 100K views.

  5. Open a bounty and read the brief

    On the campaign page, open a bounty. Its sheet has four tabs: Overview, Brief, Assets and Submit. Read the Brief and download what you need from Assets.

    The Overview tab: what the bounty pays, its minimum, your progress and its rules.

  6. Post your clip

    Edit your clip and post it from your verified account. Follow the brief and the bounty's details: some need a tag in the caption or the campaign's sound, and most must be submitted within a set time of posting.

  7. Submit the link

    Copy the post link and paste it into the bounty's Submit tab. Each link is checked straight away. When it shows Ready, choose Submit 1 clip.

  8. Watch it track

    Your clip appears under Clips with the status Tracking. Views update through the day, and your estimate for the cycle shows on your dashboard and the Payments page.

    A clip shows Tracking while its views count toward the current cycle.

Good habits from day one

  • Keep posts public until you've been paid. Deleted or private posts aren't paid.
  • One post, one submission. The same post can't be submitted to a campaign twice.
  • Read the brief every time. Briefs differ between bounties in the same campaign, and breaking one can get clips removed.
  • Never buy views or engagement. It's the fastest way to lose your earnings and your account. See Rules and bans.
