How Content Clipping Works

A clipping campaign is how you gain β€œbrand fame.” You send us one piece of content. We clip it β€” then 62,900+ creators distribute it across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and X at the same time. Before, you'd have one post from one handle; now you can have one clip across 62,900+ accounts instantly. We've delivered 18B+ views this way. Here's how it works.

What is a content clipper?

A content clipper is a creator who turns your long-form content into short clips and posts them to their own audience. An influencer makes their own content β€” a clipper distributes YOURS. And clippers get paid on a per-1,000-views basis, so they're motivated to post clips that actually hold attention.

We run a managed network of 62,900+ vetted clippers across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and X. It's fully done-for-you β€” not a marketplace you have to run yourself.

The clipping process, step by step

Five steps. We handle four of them. You only do the first.

1

You send your content

Hand over one piece of long-form content β€” a podcast, interview, livestream, AMA, founder talk or product demo. One source asset is enough to begin.

2

We clip and review

We cut the moments that hold attention into short, captioned, platform-native clips. Every clip gets reviewed for brand safety before it goes live β€” nothing goes out wrong.

3

62,900+ clippers distribute

Your clips go out across our network of 62,900+ vetted creators on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and X at the same time β€” thousands of fresh audiences at once, not one account.

4

You track results live

Views, likes, comments and shares update on a live dashboard. Every view comes from a real creator's audience. Verified views only. No bots. We provide the most in-depth tracking in the industry.

5

We optimize and scale

We find the clips pulling the most reach and double down on what's working. Your reach keeps compounding across the campaign.

Clipping vs paid ads vs influencer deals

Most brands have tried the other two channels and hit a wall on cost or reach. Here is how the three compare.

What a campaign costs

Clipping is priced on reach, so it costs far less than paid acquisition. Paid ads run at $10–14 CPM; clip distribution lands at $1–5 CPM β€” all from real, organic creator audiences. Campaigns run from $5,000 to $200,000+, and bigger budgets mean wider distribution. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.

Proof it works

Humanity Protocol spent months on one product-launch video. On their own socials, it did 1M views. On the 4,000+ clips we got them, it did 57 million views β€” and it's still getting views today, 3 months after release. That's the difference between one handle and 62,900+ accounts.
