What does a clipping campaign cost?

The four things you pay for.

Clipper payouts

The pay-per-view core of the campaign. Clippers earn $1-3 per 1,000 verified views, so a $5K pool buys roughly 3.3M verified views. You only pay for views that actually happened.

Clip production

Cutting long footage into hooks, formats, and platform-native variants. In a managed campaign this is covered by the monthly fee; hiring editors yourself runs $10-30 per clip.

Owned pages

Fan pages, theme pages, and sub-accounts that post daily. Setup is front-loaded; the cost of running them falls per view as they grow, which is what drags the effective CPM down over time.

Management & strategy

Hook banks, calendars, format testing, clipper QA, fraud filtering, and weekly reporting. This is the part that separates a campaign from a folder of clips.

The math on a real budget.

Take a $5,000 clipper pool. At the going rate of $1–3 per 1,000 verified views, that buys roughly 3.3M verified views, a $1.50 effective CPM before the network effect does anything. Then the compounding starts: winning clips get recut across owned pages, the pages grow, and reach stops costing money per view. Across full campaigns the blended effective CPM falls under $1. Our best case, a $4K campaign that reached 200M+ views, worked out to roughly $0.02 per 1,000 views.

Common questions.

What is the cheapest way to run a clipping campaign?

Fund a clipper pool directly at $1-3 per 1,000 verified views. A $2,000 pool buys roughly 1-2M verified views. The trade-off is everything around it: sourcing clippers, verifying views, filtering fraud, and supplying clips they can actually post.

What does a managed clipping campaign cost per month?

Managed campaigns run from $1,990/mo for a starter engine to $9,900+/mo for a full network with influencer seeding. Clipper payouts are billed at cost on top, so the fee buys the system, not marked-up views.

What CPM should I expect from clipping?

Direct clipper spend prices at a $1-3 CPM. As owned pages grow and winning clips get recut across the network, the blended effective CPM falls under $1. Our best case, a $4K campaign that reached 200M+ views, worked out to roughly $0.02 per 1,000 views.

How is that different from paid ads?

Paid social CPMs typically run $6-14, and the meter resets to zero when spend stops. Clipping spend leaves behind clips that keep circulating and accounts that keep growing.
