Clipping campaigns · a sound.me company

Pay per view.
Not per post.

Independent editors, called clippers, cut your songs, streams and shows into short videos and post them on TikTok, Reels and Shorts. You set the rate per 1,000 views. You pay your budget up front, and it's only spent on views we verify.

FAQ

Questions.

Anything else? hello@sound.me

What is a clipping campaign?

You give us your content and a budget. Clippers cut it into short videos and post them on their own TikTok, Instagram and YouTube accounts. You set a rate for every 1,000 verified views those clips get, and it's paid from your budget until it runs out.

How do you verify views?

Every clip is checked against the campaign's brief before it can earn. We count views from each platform for 30 days after a clip is posted, while the campaign has budget, and remove fake views. Fake views are never paid, and every account behind them is permanently banned from clip.inc and sound.me.

When do I pay?

At checkout, by card through Stripe. You pay your full budget up front. It's only spent on verified views at your rate. Anything left when the campaign ends comes back as clip.inc credit, or as a refund to your card if you ask within 90 days. If we don't approve your campaign, you get a full refund.

How do I see my results?

In your campaign dashboard. It shows every clip, its views and how much of your budget has been spent. You can download everything as a spreadsheet, report a clip, or end the campaign early at any time. Unspent budget comes back to you.

Can I choose the clippers?

Not one by one. Any clipper can join, which is how campaigns grow fast. Your brief controls what they make: we check every clip against it. If one gets through that shouldn't, tell us within 30 days and that amount comes back to you as credit.

What rate should I set?

Rates run from $1 to $6 per 1,000 views. Most campaigns run between $1.50 and $3. A higher rate brings in more clippers, faster. The launch form shows where your rate sits.

Do I need followers to clip?

No. Anyone 18 or older can join a campaign, post and earn. Your pay depends on your clip's views, not your followers.

How do clippers get paid?

When your views are verified, the money goes to your balance. Once you reach the payout minimum, you can cash out to PayPal. Payouts run on the same system sound.me uses for its creators.

What happens to unspent budget?

If a campaign ends before the budget is used, the rest comes back to you as clip.inc credit. Prefer a refund to your card? Email us within 90 days. If no clips are delivered at all, you get a full refund.
