Short-form content virality at your finger tips

Running a campaign on ClipStake is a fast way to get instant social media attention. Short-form content is one of the most powerful marketing approaches today, but creating content that truly performs takes time and expertise. With ClipStake, you can get your message in front of millions of people with minimal effort, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional ads.

Clipping: Turn long-form footage into viral short-form videos, edited and distributed at scale. Logo Placement: Add your logo, banner, or promo code as a watermark on trending posts to instantly boost brand visibility. Music Promotion: Feature your track in trending posts and get discovered by thousands of new listeners. UGC (User-Generated Content): Let creators review your product or service and share authentic experiences through engaging short clips.

ClipStake is a free marketplace, so your budget and CPM are fully up to you. Keep in mind that creators compare your campaign against others, so the rates you set directly influence the quality and number of submissions you'll attract. Budget: Minimum $1,000. Payouts are most common in USDC, but you can also choose other tokens. CPM: The harder your content requirements, the higher your CPM should be. Music and Logo campaigns are easiest and have a lower CPM, Clipping requires more effort and is mid CPM, and UGC is the hardest and demands significantly higher CPM. Platform differences: On X (Twitter), only about 20% of impressions count as unique views, so CPMs should be adjusted higher. This is why X campaigns are split from others. Max Payout per Post: This sets a ceiling on how many views a creator gets paid for, and anything beyond that is free. This helps stretch your budget and generate more posts per campaign, but avoid making payouts unattractive. Minimum Views Requirement: This filters out submissions from small accounts and can help ensure reach, but setting the bar too high may reduce the number of submissions.

When you create an account, we automatically generate an embedded Solana wallet for you. Simply send funds to this address to fund your campaigns. If you're not familiar with crypto payments, you can request a fiat invoice by contacting invoicing@clipstake.com.

Your budget is only consumed after a post has been approved (by you or your campaign manager) and has passed the minimum view threshold. If a post does not meet your guidelines, it will be declined and won't receive a payout. Be fair and approve all posts that match your written content requirements. If you notice gaps in your guidelines, adjust them for future submissions. Any unspent budget at the end of a campaign can be withdrawn at any time.

Be as specific as possible: give examples, write clear instructions, and avoid relying too much on creator creativity in the beginning. Start with strict guidelines, then loosen them once results are where you want them. Most importantly, only decline posts if they clearly fail to meet your requirements — this keeps the process transparent and fair for creators.

A campaign ends when its budget is used up or the end date is reached. If you like the results and want to continue, you can extend the duration or top up the budget to keep the campaign running.
