How much do clippers actually earn per 100,000 views?
Rates are quoted per 1,000 views and paid per approved clip. Here is what that comes to, with the numbers this site is running right now.
The unit is 1,000 views, not a clip
Almost every clipping program pays per 1,000 views on an approved clip, and then quotes itself per 100,000 because the numbers look better. A rate of $0.40 per 1,000 is $40 per 100K is $400 per million. Same number, three ways of saying it.
On Streampal the top campaign rate right now is $40 per 100,000 views. Campaigns are funded per streamer, so the rate moves with whoever is paying: a streamer or a brand sets a budget and a rate, and clips against that campaign earn at that rate until the budget runs out.
A clip has to pass 1,000 views before it counts at all. That threshold is not a trick to avoid paying; it is what makes view counts worth verifying. Below it, the noise in platform reporting is larger than the payment.
The split, and why there is one
There are two ways to clip here, and they pay differently.
On the Streampal program we pay you 75% of the campaign rate, and there is no follower or view requirement to join. The other 25% covers reviewing every clip, verifying the views against the platform, and the payout rails. At $40 per 100K that is $30 per 100K in your pocket.
As a direct clipper you use the same editor, post your own clips and keep 100%, because clipping.net pays you rather than us. That route has a bar, and it is theirs: 1.5 million views in the last 30 days and 800 followers on the account you post from.
So the honest comparison is not 75% against 100%. It is 75% of a campaign you can join today against 100% of one you may not qualify for yet.
A worked month
Say you post 20 clips in a month and they average 60,000 views each. That is 1.2 million views, but only the clips past 1,000 count, and in practice a few always land flat. Call it 1.1 million countable views.
At $40 per 100K that is $440 of campaign rate. On the program you keep 75%, so $330. As a direct clipper, if you clear clipping.net's bar, you keep the $440.
The mistake people make is modelling an average. Clipping is a hits business: two clips out of twenty carry the month, and a run of 5,000 view clips pays nothing at all because they never reach the threshold. Post for the hit rate, not the average.
When the money actually arrives
A month closes on the 4th of each month, 23:59 EST. Approved earnings from that month are paid around 14 days later, to the payout wallet you saved.
That gap is the view-verification window. Views on a clip posted on the 30th are still moving on the 1st, and a clip that gets pulled or hidden after it is counted has to be caught before the money leaves. Every program has a version of this delay; the ones that do not are usually paying on numbers nobody checked.
Sending costs a transfer fee: 0.5% on USDT, 2% on every other network. It comes off the money as it leaves, not off what you earned, so your earnings figure and your leaderboard position do not move. Save a USDT address and you pay the lower one.
What gets a clip rejected
Earnings on a rejected clip can be withheld or reversed even after they have been counted. If you are clipping honestly, none of this will ever touch you; it is here because the alternative is a program that pays for fake views and then cannot pay for real ones.
- Views that are bought or botted. This is the most common one, and it is checked.
- Breaking the streamer's or the campaign's rules, which are printed on the campaign.
- Reposting someone else's clip as your own.
- A missing watermark where the campaign requires one.
- Deleting or hiding the clip before it can be verified.
- Anything that breaks the law or the platform's rules.
What actually moves the number
Speed. A clip posted while the moment is still being talked about does several times the numbers of the same clip posted the next day. This is the single biggest difference between clippers who earn and clippers who do not.
Format. Vertical, captioned, and the hook in the first second. The editor here crops to 9:16, adds captions and cuts the dead air, and it is free.
Volume with judgement. Twenty posted clips beats five perfect ones, but twenty clips of nothing beats nothing at all.
Picking the right campaign. A high rate on a streamer nobody clips is worth more than a low rate on a saturated one.
Common questions
Do I need followers to start?
Not for the Streampal program: there is no follower or view requirement, we just review the request. The direct route needs clipping.net's bar, which is 1.5 million views in the last 30 days and 800 followers.
Does the editor cost anything?
No. Trim, crop to 9:16, captions, zoom, sound effects and split screen are free for everyone, and it renders on your own machine. A paid clipping plan removes the watermark and adds imports, caption fonts, AI subtitles, translations, music and posting.
Which platforms can I post to?
TikTok, Reels, Shorts and X. Views are read back from the platform the clip is posted on.
How do I get paid?
In crypto, to the payout wallet you save. USDT carries the lowest transfer fee at 0.5%; everything else is 2%.
