Clipping & Content Rewards (get paid to steal content)
Most online income ideas make you pick between two things:
→ Spend time building an audience
→ Spend money on ads
But what if you didn’t have to do either?
What if someone else already made the content, and all you had to do was repost the right moments... and still get paid?
That’s what clipping is. You’re basically a one-person distribution team. You take short clips from long-form content (podcasts, interviews, YouTube videos), post them on TikTok, Shorts, Instagram, or even X - and if they get views, you earn.
Each campaign has a creator name, payout rate, total budget, and rules.
- Ambro Clips – $3.00 per 1K views – Over $73,000 already paid out
- David Ghiyam Hub – $2.00 per 1K views – 8.5M+ total views, 40% of budget paid
- Whop UGC Creators – $3.50 per 1K views – 90%+ of the budget already claimed
Some need a minimum of 2,000 views before payout. Some want captions. Some want English-only content. But overall, it’s straightforward.
You’re not the creator - you’re a thief, a legal (and useful) one.
Why Are Creators Paying You to Rip Their Content?
Because you’re doing the marketing for them. And it works better than ads.
Creators like Iman Gadzhi, Ashton Hall, and other brands now literally offer cash payouts to people who post their clips. Instead of running Facebook ads and getting penalized for every swear word in a podcast, they let the audience do the legwork.
You're basically an advertisement, but one that performs organically. If you get them views, they reward you with a small CPM payment - often $1 to $10 per 1,000 views.
They get exposure. You get cash. It's a decent deal if you know what you’re doing.
🎥 YouTube vs Clipping ✂️
YouTube Shorts pay roughly $0.03 to $0.10 per 1K views via ad revenue
YouTube long-form can pay anywhere from $1 to $20+ CPM, depending on niche
But you’ll need → 1,000+ subscribers OR 4,000 watch hours to get monetized
Clipping Platforms (like Whop) on the other hand pay $1–$10 per 1K views, sometimes more. You don't need a subscriber count or original content.
The best part?→ If you post on YouTube and get into the Partner Program, you can earn from Clipping + YouTube AdSense
How to start clipping:
- Sign up on a platform like Whop
- Pick a campaign with a payout you like (from Discover page)
- Download the provided raw footage (usually in Google Drive)
- Use tools like CapCut, Davinci Resolve, etc (more tools here)
- Post it to your YouTube, TikTok, or Reels
- Submit as soon as you post to get paid for all of your views.
- Wait for approval/payout once the view count hits the threshold
Yes - you can start with no audience.
Yes - it’s free to join.
But don’t confuse that with easy.
Editing matters. Clipping a random sentence and slapping it on TikTok won’t make you money.
- Know what moments hook attention
- Add cuts, music, captions, visual cues
- Post consistently
- Analyze what performs and tweak accordingly
If you’re broke, allergic to selling, and want to learn editing anyway then I suggest trying it.
It’s a volume game with a decent upside. The barrier to entry is non existent.
Steal content. Do it legally. And get paid while doing it.
I wish you luck! :)
