Frequently asked questions

Everything we get asked most, on one page. Clipper questions first, then brand questions, and at the end the ones about money and safety that apply to both.

In short

Clipfabriek runs clipping campaigns for brands that have a budget. We have creators turn it into short videos and pay them a fixed amount per 1,000 views that pass our checks. Taking part as a clipper is free.

All questions

What is clipping?

Clipping means turning footage a brand provides into short videos and posting them on your own account. You are paid per 1,000 views your clip gets.

Does clipping cost anything?

No. Clipping is free. Brands pay, and we keep part of their budget as our fee.

How many followers do I need to clip?

No particular number. You are paid for the views your clip gets, not for the size of your account.

Which platforms can I clip on?

You can register a YouTube, TikTok or Instagram channel. Each campaign states which platforms are allowed.

Why do I have to register my channel?

So we know the channel is yours and can count the views on your clips. You put a short code in your bio, which an administrator checks. Connecting your platform account (read access only) follows once the platforms have approved our app.

When do I get my money?

What your clips earned is settled every night and then lands in your wallet. You can withdraw from €10, once every seven days; we then transfer it, as a rule within 10 working days.

Is there a minimum payout amount?

Yes, €10. What is below that stays yours and shows in your wallet; once you have €10 you can withdraw.

What is the most one clip can earn?

A quarter of the part of the campaign budget set aside for clippers, with a floor of € 25 and a cap of € 2,500. That ceiling stops one viral clip from consuming the whole budget while others have already posted.

What does a campaign cost a brand?

You choose your budget. Of it, we spend at most 80 percent on clips from clippers and 20 percent is the platform fee; that fee sits inside the budget rather than on top. Add 21 percent VAT. A featured placement is optional and costs 5 percent of the budget, at least € 149 and at most € 749.

What if the campaign budget is not spent?

Whatever clippers do not use is not refunded. Choose a budget and a run time that fit the reach you expect.

How are fake views filtered out?

We measure views through the clipper’s connection, or our staff enter the public numbers, and check for signals such as unnatural growth speed and a skewed ratio between views and engagement. A clip that keeps growing hard is reassessed.

Do you guarantee an amount or a number of views?

No. You earn per valid view on an approved clip, within the campaign’s run time and budget. We promise no amount and no number of views, to clippers or to brands.

How old do I have to be?

At least 18.

Can a brand see who makes the clips?

A brand sees which clips come in and what they deliver. Personal details of clippers, such as bank details, are never visible to a brand.

Am I employed if I clip?

No. You work as a contractor, not an employee. What you earn you declare yourself; we withhold no payroll tax.

Which countries does Clipfabriek work in?

We focus on the Netherlands. The site is available in Dutch and English.

How do I get in touch?
