A clipping post earns (views ÷ 1,000) × the campaign’s rate, but only if that reaches the minimum payout, and never more than the maximum payout. For example, at $2 per 1,000 views with a $5 minimum and an $800 maximum, a post with 10,000 views earns $20, a post with 2,000 views earns nothing, and a post with 600,000 views earns $800.
The formula
pay per post = min(maximum, views ÷ 1,000 × rate), and 0 if that is below the minimum payout.
Worked examples
| Views | Rate per 1,000 | Minimum | Maximum | Pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,000 | $2.00 | $5 | $800 | $0 (under the minimum) |
| 10,000 | $2.00 | $5 | $800 | $20 |
| 50,000 | $1.50 | $5 | $800 | $75 |
| 600,000 | $2.00 | $5 | $800 | $800 (capped) |
From one post to a month
Monthly earnings depend on how many posts you make, on how many platforms, and how many reach the minimum. Three clips a day on two platforms is about 180 posts a month; if a third of them reach 10,000 views at $2 per 1,000, that is about $1,200 before any cap. Results vary widely between campaigns and accounts, so use your own numbers.

What changes the result
- Hooks. The first seconds decide if people keep watching.
- Following every rule. A rejected post earns nothing, however many views it gets.
- Posting volume and consistency. More good posts means more chances to pass the minimum.
- Choosing campaigns with budget left. A campaign that runs out stops paying.
- Speed. Submit inside the window; late posts are refused.
