How to earn money clipping Reels and Shorts in India

A clipper takes a creator's long video, finds the moments worth sharing, edits them into short clips and posts them on their own Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts page. The creator pays for the views those clips get. You do not need a big page: views count, not followers, so a new page with good clips can earn.

Each campaign shows its rate per 1,000 views, a minimum and a cap per clip before you join. A clip earns views divided by 1,000, times the rate, up to the cap. A clip below the minimum earns nothing.

For example, at ₹30 per 1,000 views a clip with 45,000 verified views earns ₹1,350. If the campaign caps each clip at ₹3,000, a clip with 2,50,000 views still earns ₹3,000. The lowest rate on plancks.in is ₹15 per 1,000 views.

1. Sign in with Google or email. You must be 18 or older.
2. Link the page you post from: a YouTube channel, or an Instagram Professional or Creator account. Switching Instagram to Professional is free.
3. Prove the page is yours by adding a short code to your channel description or bio.
4. Add your UPI ID. We confirm it with a ₹1 test.
5. Pick a live campaign, read the brief and join to get the footage.

• A hook in the first 2 seconds
• Captions burned in, readable on a phone, in the language the brief asks for
• Real editing: cuts, zooms and captions, never a raw reupload
• Only the creator's footage, with no film songs unless the brief allows them
• The tag, caption line and #Ad or #Collab label the brief asks for

Every rejected clip comes with a written reason, and you can appeal once within 7 days.

Views on approved clips become payable 10 days after they are read. Payouts go out every Friday by UPI once you have ₹250 or more cleared; smaller amounts roll into the next week. Every payout shows its UPI reference number in your account. Joining is always free: no real clipping platform should charge you to join or to get campaigns.

Bought views, bots, view exchanges and reposting someone else's clip are not allowed. Clips with signs of fake views are held for review, and confirmed fraud means the clip is rejected and the account can be suspended. Real clips on real pages are the only way earnings last.
