Where to Find Clipping Campaigns
A clipping campaign is a funded brief you can clip against for money. Here is what one actually contains, how to read it before you commit a week to it, and where to find campaigns that pay.
Finding clipping campaigns is the part most people get wrong, because the campaign you choose matters more than the clips you make. This guide explains what a clipping campaign is, what a real brief looks like, and where to find funded campaigns you can join today.
What a clipping campaign is
A clipping campaign is a funded brief. Somebody with content and a budget, usually a brand, a creator or a studio, supplies source footage and a set of rules, and pays for clips of it that get views. You cut the clips, post them on your own accounts, and earn on the views that are verified.
The word campaign matters. It is not an open invitation to clip whatever you like. There is a budget, a start and an end, a counting window, and conditions a clip has to meet to be paid. Clip farming describes the production method; a campaign is the commercial arrangement that pays for it.
What a real brief contains
Before you spend a week on a campaign, you should be able to answer all of this from the brief. If you cannot, that is the answer.
The eight things to read before you join
The rate
Paid per thousand verified views, and it varies a lot by campaign. The rate alone does not tell you what you will earn, because the threshold and the window decide how many of your views count at all.
The minimum view threshold
The floor a clip has to clear to earn anything. On most campaigns more clips fall below it than clear it, so a low threshold can be worth more than a high rate.
The counting window
Views are counted up to a fixed point, often one to two weeks after posting. A clip that keeps growing after that date generally stops earning, which is why posting early in a campaign beats posting late.
The budget and whether it is still open
Most campaigns stop paying once the budget is spent. Joining a popular campaign late can mean posting into a pot that is already empty. Checking is worth the 30 seconds.
Which platforms count
Some campaigns pay across TikTok, Reels, Shorts and X; some pay on one. A clip cut once and posted to four platforms that all count is four times the return on the same editing hour.
The source footage
Where it is, and how much there is. A campaign with 40 hours of conversational long form has far more clippable moments in it than one with a single polished trailer.
The content rules
Hook requirements, required tags, what is off limits and how the brand may be shown. These are the most common reason a clip is rejected, and they are always written down.
How approvals work
Who reviews a clip, how long it takes, and what happens if it is rejected. A fast approvals queue is worth real money, because a campaign's budget is finite while it is open.
The campaign you choose decides more of your income than the clips you make. Two campaigns can differ by four times on rate and 10 times on threshold, for the same hour at the keyboard.
An example of what one looks like
Here is a campaign of the shape you will meet, with the numbers filled in so the arithmetic is visible.
A worked example
The setup
Source: 30 hours of podcast episodes
Platforms counted: TikTok, Reels and Shorts
Rate: 1 dollar per 1,000 verified views
Threshold: 10,000 views per clip
Window: 14 days from posting
The brand wants short clips of the host's strongest moments, with the show name on screen and no edits that change the meaning of what was said.What a week looks like
You cut 20 clips and post each to all three platforms. Most do what most clips do and sit in the low thousands. Three clear the 10,000 threshold, and one of those reaches 300,000 across the three platforms.
The clips under the threshold earn nothing, which is normal and is not a sign you did anything wrong.What it pays
The three clips that cleared the floor total roughly 360,000 verified views, so the week pays about 360 dollars.
And this is the part worth internalizing: one clip produced most of it. That is why volume over months beats intensity over days, and why reading the brief beats editing faster.
Where to find them
Three routes, in the order they are worth your time
A campaign Discord
The most direct route. Campaigns are posted as they open, with the brief attached, and payment is handled in the same place. Clipping Hall of Fame posts briefs, rates and payouts there first, and joining is free with no following required.
Going direct to a creator
Some podcasters and streamers fund their own clipping and say so in their channel or their community. It is slower to find and usually unfunded by comparison, but the competition is thinner. Always check they want clips before you make them.
Clipping as a hired service
Rather than a per view campaign, some creators pay a flat rate for a set number of clips a month. It is steadier and capped, which suits some people better. Clipper jobs covers what that work looks like.
Joining a campaign with us
Our campaigns come from the client network of Fixated, the agency behind Clipping Hall of Fame, which is why the brands attached to them are ones you will recognize. Campaigns are agreed and funded before they are posted.

Read what is open, then join one
active-campaigns carries everything live, each with its brief. Read the rate, threshold, window and rules before joining rather than after. Post as instructed, then track approved posts and earnings in your-account.
FAQs
The most reliable route is a campaign Discord, where briefs are posted as they open and payment is handled in the same place. Clipping Hall of Fame posts campaigns in its Discord with the rate, threshold and rules attached, and joining is free with no minimum following.
No. A campaign pays you, so you should never be paying to access one. You will be asked to connect a payment account so earnings can be sent to you, and to link the social accounts you will post from so views can be verified.
Check whether the budget is still open, how far through the campaign is, and what the minimum view threshold is. A campaign late in its budget can pay nothing for good work, and that is a question of timing rather than quality.
Rates are usually set per thousand verified views and vary by campaign and by how commercially valuable the audience is. What you actually earn depends as much on the threshold and the counting window as on the headline rate, which is set out in full in our guide to how much clippers make.
Yes, and most working clippers do. Running several campaigns at once is what smooths out the weeks where nothing lands, because the model is statistical and a single campaign is a small sample.
