--- title: Earn by clipping description: Find a campaign, verify the social account you post from, submit your clips, understand how views are counted and what a clip is worth, and get paid. --- Clipping is how you earn on Insy without being the creator. You take a creator's content, cut short clips, post them on your own TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, and get paid based on the views they pull. The rate and rules are the creator's; your job is to make clips that follow them and rack up views. ## Find a campaign Campaigns are listed on Insy's discovery page. Each shows the creator, the platforms it wants clips on, the pay rate, and its **rules and resource links** — where you get the source footage and anything else you need. Read the rules before you start: they're exactly what your clips are approved or rejected against. ## Verify the account you'll post from Before you can join a campaign you need at least one **verified social account**. Verifying proves you own the account your clips come from, so views can be tied and paid to you. 1. **Link an account** Choose the platform (TikTok, Instagram or YouTube) and enter your username. Insy gives you a short **verification code**. 2. **Put the code on your profile** Add the code where Insy's checker can read it on your public profile. Insy then looks your profile up to confirm the code is there. 3. **Wait for the check (or trigger it now)** The check runs on its own shortly after. If you don't want to wait, ask Insy to **re-check immediately** once the code is in place. > **A verification does not wait forever** > > A pending verification is only open for a short time. If the checker can't find your code in that > window, the attempt fails and you start a fresh one — with a new code. There's also a cap on how many > verification attempts you can make per hour and per day, and failed tries count too, so get the code > in place before you check. A username already verified — by anyone — can't be verified again, and you can only have one verification pending per account at a time. You can remove a linked account later, which unlinks it from Insy. ## Join, and mind two things that can block you Once you have a verified account, join the campaign. Two conditions can stop you: - **A ban.** If the creator has banned you from that campaign, you can't join. - **No verified account.** If you have none, verify one first. Some campaigns also ask the creator to **approve each account** before it can clip. On those, your account waits for approval; on campaigns that don't, your verified account is enrolled automatically. ## Submit a clip Publish your clip on the platform first, then submit its link. 1. **Paste the clip's URL** Give Insy the link to your posted clip and the platform it's on. Short TikTok share links are fine — Insy resolves them to the real video. 2. **Insy checks it's really there** A new clip starts in a platform-check state while Insy confirms the video exists and reads its details. Once it clears, it moves to **pending** — waiting for the creator's decision. 3. **The creator approves or rejects it** Approved clips start earning. Rejected ones don't — and if you think a rejection was wrong, you can dispute it (see [Clip rules and disputes](/clipping/rules-and-disputes)). > **One clip per video, and a limit on retries** > > Each video can only be submitted once while it's live in a campaign. If a clip is rejected on the > **platform** side — deleted, or it failed Insy's check — the slot frees up and you can resubmit, but > only a few times before Insy tells you to stop retrying that video. There are also limits on how many > clips you can submit per minute and per day. ## How views are counted, and what a clip is worth After a clip is accepted, Insy checks it on the platform regularly and records how its views grow — you can watch the running total and trend on the clip. Payout follows straight from views and the rate: - The rate is a **CPM** — an amount per **1,000 views**. Your clip's worth is its views at that rate. - There's a **minimum**: a clip earns nothing until it's worth at least the floor the creator set. - There's a **maximum** per clip: past a point, one clip stops earning more however big it gets. > **Fake views won't pay** > > Insy scores clips for signs of inauthentic views. Buying views or botting doesn't just risk the clip — > it undermines the account you verified. Earnings track genuine views, and a clip taken down on the > platform stops earning. ## Getting paid A clip's earnings aren't paid the instant it goes up. Each clip carries a **review-and-hold window** — roughly two weeks — during which the creator can still approve or reject it and a payout won't settle. After the window, an approved clip pays out; because it settles against view snapshots, you may be paid in steps as the views climb rather than all at once. The reward lands in your **Insy wallet**, on the same rail the campaign runs on — a złoty (clip-reward) balance for a fiat campaign, or a USDC balance for a crypto one. From there you withdraw it like any other Insy earnings. > **Connect a payout method to actually cash out** > > To receive fiat clip rewards you'll need to connect a Stripe account for payouts; crypto rewards go to > a wallet address you add. Balances, the hold, and both kinds of withdrawal are in the payouts section. Your clip-reward balance, what's available now versus on hold, and how to withdraw it. What gets a clip rejected, and how to contest a rejection you think is wrong.
