FAQ
Everything you need to know about clipping.
Clipping is taking a longer piece of content - like a Twitch stream, podcast, or music video - cutting the best short moments, and reposting them on TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts. You get paid based on how many views your clips get.
Yes. All major clipping platforms are free to join. You don't need to pay anything upfront. The only thing you need is a phone with a free editing app like CapCut.
No. Everything can be done from a smartphone. Most clippers edit with mobile apps like CapCut and post directly from their phone. A PC can help if you want to manage multiple accounts or do more advanced editing, but it's not required.
RPM stands for Rate Per Million views. If a campaign has an RPM of $200, you earn $200 for every 1,000,000 views your clips generate. Higher RPM means more money per view.
It depends on how many views you get and which campaigns you choose. Beginners typically make $50 to $300 per month. Experienced clippers posting consistently across multiple accounts can make $2,000 to $6,000+ per month. Check out our full earnings breakdown for real numbers.
Each platform has its own payment methods. Most support PayPal, crypto, or direct bank transfer. Minimum payout thresholds vary by platform, usually between $5 and $50.
Most campaigns allow TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Some also allow X (Twitter) and Facebook. Each campaign specifies which platforms are accepted - you can see this on every campaign card on our homepage.
The most popular ones are Clipster.gg, Clipping.net, Clipping.io, Virality.gg, and AffiliateNetwork. Each has different campaigns and RPM rates. We track campaigns from all of them in one place so you can compare.
It depends on the platform and campaign. Some campaigns have no minimum - you get paid for every view. Others require a minimum threshold like 1,000 or 10,000 views before your earnings count. Check the campaign rules before you start.
Look for campaigns with high RPM, a large remaining budget, and content that fits your audience. A high RPM means nothing if the content doesn't go viral on your accounts. Start by testing a few different types - gaming, music, brand content - and see what performs best. Read our step-by-step guide for more.
Some people do. Clippers who manage multiple accounts, post 5-10 clips per day, and pick the right campaigns consistently can earn $3,000 to $6,000+ monthly. But most people start it as a side hustle and scale up over time.
ClippingDeals is a campaign aggregator. We pull active clipping campaigns from all major platforms - Clipster, Clipping.net, Clipping.io, Virality, and AffiliateNetwork - so you can compare RPM rates, budgets, and platforms all in one place instead of checking each site separately.
