What clipping is and how to start from zero

01Why clipping exists

Streamers broadcast for hours, but most people watch videos under a minute. Clips take creators to millions of people who would never watch the full stream. That's why creators and brands pay others to clip their content.

02How clippers make money

• Campaigns: a creator publishes a campaign with their budget and how much they pay per 1,000 views. You make clips, post them on your accounts and submit the link. If the creator approves it, you get paid based on views.
• Your own monetized accounts in each platform's payout programs.
• Direct service to streamers who pay you to edit their clips.

03What you need to get started

• A computer with Chrome or Edge (to edit and export).
• TikTok, Instagram and YouTube accounts dedicated to a niche.
• A tool that saves you the hours of watching full streams. In Moneyclip you paste the link and it marks the best moments.

04Common mistakes

• Posting clips without captions (lots of people watch with the sound off).
• Starting the clip slow: the first 2 seconds decide whether people stay.
• Using content without permission or outside the campaign's rules.
• Buying views: it doesn't pay and you can lose your account.
