Who actually pays me?
Whoever runs the campaign. Where a campaign is hosted on another platform, you join there, submit there and are paid there under their terms — we list it and take you to it. Where it says the campaign is run by Clipsteady, it is ours and we settle it.
Do I need a Clipsteady subscription?
No. The board is free to read and the campaigns are free to join. You need an account to use the clipper, and the free tier watermarks its clips — most campaigns will not accept a watermark, so that is the honest reason to be on a paid plan.
How are views counted?
By the campaign, on the platform you posted to, under its own rules on bot traffic and holds. Nobody in this category pays out the moment a number goes up, and neither will we.
What gets a clip rejected?
Wrong aspect ratio, wrong length, missing captions, or footage the campaign did not licence. The campaign page lists its own rules — they are contract terms, not suggestions.
I make the long-form video. What do I get?
Clips of your content posted by people who want it to travel, at a price you set per thousand views. You cap the budget up front, so it cannot run away from you.
Is this the same as the clipper?
No. The clipper is the product you pay for. The board is a place to find work worth pointing it at — and it is free either way.
