How paid clipping campaigns work
Paid clipping campaigns connect brands, artists and streamers with creators who make short-form edits and clips, and pay them per view.
You are paid per view
Campaign pay is set per 1M views (the creator app shows rates like $1,000 / 1M), so a post that performs earns more, up to the campaign's cap per post.
Campaigns for different styles
Music edits, stream and podcast clips, brand logo campaigns and more, across niches like movies and TV, anime, sports, gaming and motivation.
Three platforms, one brief
Many campaigns accept TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, so one edit can work on more than one platform.
Clear rules before you post
Every campaign shows its rate, cap, minimum views and brief up front, so you know what is expected before you make anything.
Frequently asked questions
Is the earnings calculator free?
Yes. You can paste an account and see your estimate without paying or creating an account. Joining a campaign happens on the platform that runs it, where brands and artists pay creators for edits and clips; check that platform's terms before you join.
How does the estimate work?
The calculator reads the public view counts of your posts from the last 30 days and applies live campaign terms: a rate per 1M views, a maximum payout per post and a minimum view count before a post earns. As of October 2026, the average live music campaign tracked here pays $1,257 per 1M views on TikTok. It is an estimate of what past posts could have earned, not a promise of future income.
How do campaign payouts work?
In general terms, you post an edit or clip that follows a campaign's brief, the post earns the campaign's rate per view once it passes the minimum view count (rates are quoted per 1M views), and earnings per post are capped at the campaign's maximum. Payout methods and timing are set by the platform that runs the campaign, so check its terms before you join. This site does not handle payouts.
Which platforms can I earn on?
The campaigns tracked here cover TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Not every campaign accepts every platform, so check each campaign's brief. The calculator reads public accounts on all three.
Do I need a lot of followers?
Campaign pay is based on views, not follower count, so a small account with a post that gets views can earn. Individual campaigns can still set their own requirements, so read the brief before you join.
What kind of content do campaigns ask for?
Mostly music edits (a song over movie, TV, anime, sports or lifestyle footage) and clips of streams, podcasts and shows. As of October 2026, 56 of the 105 live campaigns tracked here are music campaigns and 32 are clipping campaigns. Briefs often ask for things like lyrics on screen, the song name in a comment, English only and high-effort edits.
