How are expected views calculated?

Views = Budget / CPM x 1,000 x Overperformance. Example: an $8,000 budget at a $1 CPM buys 8,000,000 baseline views. Viral clips that blow past the payout cap add free views on top. That is the overperformance multiplier.

Is clipping cheaper than paid ads?

Usually, yes. Typical paid-ads cost per click: Google $1-3, Meta $0.50-3, TikTok $1-3, YouTube $3-5. A clipping campaign at a $1 CPM and a 1% view-to-click rate lands around $0.10 per click, and the content keeps compounding after the campaign ends.

Q: What is a clipping campaign?

A clipping campaign pays a network of creators (clippers) to cut short-form clips from your content and post them across TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. You pay per 1,000 views (CPM), so budget maps directly to reach.

Q: How do min and max payout per clip work?

The minimum payout is the floor a clip must earn before it gets paid. It filters out low-effort posts. The maximum caps what a single clip can earn, so one viral clip cannot drain the whole pool; every view past the cap is effectively free reach.

Frequently asked questions.

What is a clipping campaign?

A clipping campaign pays a network of creators ("clippers") to cut short-form clips from your content and post them across TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. You pay per 1,000 views (CPM), so your budget maps directly to reach. No ad auctions, no targeting fees. Read the full guide.

What is a good CPM rate for clipping?

Most clipping campaigns run between $0.50 and $3.00 per 1,000 views depending on niche, platform mix and how demanding the content is to edit. Even at the top of that range, the effective cost per click usually beats paid ads. See what a good CPM looks like in 2026.

How do min and max payout per clip work?

The minimum payout is the floor a clip must earn before it's paid. It filters out low-effort posts. The maximum caps what one clip can earn, so a single viral clip can't drain the pool. Every view past the cap is effectively free reach for you.

Is clipping cheaper than running paid ads?

Usually, yes. Typical paid-ads CPCs: Google $1–3, Meta $0.50–3, TikTok $1–3, YouTube $3–5. A clipping campaign at a $1 CPM and 1% view-to-click rate lands around $0.10 per click, and unlike ads, the content stays up and keeps compounding after the campaign ends. See the full comparison.

What is the overperformance multiplier?

Once a clip hits its payout cap, every additional view costs you nothing. Across a whole campaign those capped-out winners mean you get more views than the raw budget ÷ CPM math suggests. 1× is baseline; well-run campaigns often deliver 3–5× as winners compound.
