How YouTube Shorts clipping works.

Five steps from sign-in to a paid run, each in the same dashboard, with YouTube Shorts's own verification, rates and frame.

Start clipping

  1. Step 1

    Link and verify your YouTube Shorts channel

    Sign in with Discord, open Accounts and link the channel you already post from. Put the 5-digit code CLIPPING gives you in your channel description (YouTube Studio, Customization, Description) and choose Check my bio.
    clipping.net/dashboard/accounts

  2. Step 2

    Pick a bounty that takes YouTube Shorts

    Each bounty lists the platforms it takes and what it pays on each. The same bounty can pay a different rate on YouTube Shorts than elsewhere, so check before you edit.

    What the bounty shows

    Pays
    $40 to $75/ 100K
    $400 to $750 per 1M
    To qualify
    50Kviews
    Your total, per bounty

    A range means each platform pays its own rate.

    What each platform pays

    TikTok$50 / 100K$500 per 1M views
    Instagram$75 / 100K$750 per 1M views
    YouTube$60 / 100K$600 per 1M views
    X$40 / 100K$400 per 1M views
    Every figure is an example, not guaranteed income.

  3. Step 3

    Cut it for YouTube Shorts's frame

    Hook in the first second or two, burn in captions, and keep text and faces clear of the buttons YouTube Shorts draws over the video.

  4. Step 4

    Post it, then paste the link

    Post on your own account, then paste the post link into the bounty. It's checked on the spot for the account, the post window, duplicates and the campaign's rules, and tracked from then on.
    clipping.net/dashboard/campaigns/northside-podcast

  5. Step 5

    Get paid per verified view

    Views update through the day. When the cycle closes, clips are reviewed and approved earnings are paid by PayPal, USDT or USDC, with a receipt for every run.
    clipping.net/dashboard/payments
    Every figure is an example.

What's different on YouTube Shorts.

Most rules are the same on every platform. These are the ones that matter most for Shorts.

  • Engaged views, not impressions

    On YouTube, CLIPPING counts engaged views, the watch time that matters, rather than every time a Short is shown.

  • A longer tail

    Shorts reach people through the Shorts feed, Subscriptions, search and the related shelf, so a clip can keep collecting views well after its first day.

  • Titles get found

    Titles and descriptions help Shorts surface in search. Write them the way someone would search for the moment.

  • Vertical or square

    Shorts must be vertical or square. Most clips land between 20 and 60 seconds; keep it as long as the moment needs.

  • Transform the source

    Raw reuploads run into Content ID claims and reused-content limits. Cut, caption and reframe so the Short is your edit.

  • Counts after 1,000 views

    A post starts counting once it passes 1,000 views, and your counted views on a bounty have to reach its minimum before it pays.

Run a YouTube Shorts clipping campaign.

Clippers turn your long videos, streams and episodes into Shorts on their own channels, where search and the related shelf keep sending viewers back to the source. You pay for engaged views that were delivered and verified.

Clips are reviewed before payout, so you pay for verified views.

  • Your platforms, your call

    A campaign sets the platforms it takes, so it can run on YouTube Shorts alone or across all four.

  • Verified views only

    Every clip is checked when it's submitted and reviewed before payout, and no post counts until it passes 1,000 views.

  • Watch it live

    Follow views, clips and the top posts in your client dashboard as they come in.

  • Fully managed

    Your account manager scopes and runs the campaign with you. Budgets start at $5,000.

Questions, answered.

Short answers on clipping for YouTube Shorts, from the clipper docs.

Yes. Any channel works, including a brand-new one with no subscribers. A channel focused on one niche, such as a podcast, a streamer or a game, helps YouTube work out who to show your Shorts to.
