The independent guide to the clipping economy
Honest guides and unbiased platform comparisons — for creators who want to earn, and brands who want to distribute.
THE CLIPPING ECONOMY
A new way to create and distribute
Content clipping connects brands with creators. Brands get viral distribution at a fraction of ad costs. Creators earn per view with no followers needed. We cover both sides.
Creators earn per view
Turn long-form videos into viral clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Get paid $1–$6 per 1,000 views.
Brands pay for results
Set your CPM and budget. Hundreds of creators distribute your content. You only pay for verified views.
No gatekeeping
Creators don’t need followers. Brands don’t need agencies. The platform handles matching and payments.
