A podcast clipping agency that pays for views, not hours
Clipnaut turns your podcast episodes into short clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. A network of clippers cuts the best moments and posts them on their own pages, so every episode keeps reaching new listeners long after it goes live.
Why clips work for podcasts
A full episode asks for an hour of attention. A 30 to 60 second clip asks for a few seconds. Most people find a new podcast through a moment that stopped their scroll: a strong opinion, a funny exchange, a surprising story. Short clips put those moments in front of people who would never press play on a full episode.
Every episode already contains dozens of these moments. Most shows only ever post a handful of them, from their own account. Clipping turns more of them into short videos, and spreads them across many pages at once.
How it works with Clipnaut
- BriefOne call and a shared doc. You decide which episodes get clipped, where clips are posted, the budget, the rate per 1,000 views and the minimum payout. Your campaign usually goes live within a week of the call.
- Cut and postThe campaign runs on Whop, where clippers in our network pick it up. They cut clips from your episodes and post them on their own TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts pages, testing different moments and hooks at the same time.
- ReviewClippers submit each posted clip. While your budget lasts, we check submissions against your guide. No clip is paid without our review, and a rejected clip is never paid.
- ReportEvery week you see the clips, the pages that posted them, their views and what was paid out. Views come from platform analytics, not from screenshots or self-reported numbers.
What you control
- The content: which episodes, topics or guests can be clipped, and anything that is off limits.
- The platforms: TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts or any mix of them.
- The money: the budget, which works as a hard cap, the rate per 1,000 views and the minimum payout a clip has to reach.
- Your own channels: clips go on the clippers' pages, so your accounts stay untouched. You own every approved clip and can repost the best ones yourself.
What we don't promise
Nobody can honestly guarantee a number of views. Views are organic, and we cannot know in advance how many clippers will pick up a campaign or how many clips they will make. What we can promise is how the money works: you only pay for views on approved clips, never more than the budget you set, and you see real numbers every week. We never buy views or use bots.
Frequently asked questions
How much does podcast clipping cost?
You set a budget that is paid out per 1,000 views on approved clips, at a rate you choose, plus a management fee agreed upfront as a share of the budget. There is no long-term commitment. See how clipping agency pricing works.
Do the clips go on my podcast's accounts?
No. Clips are posted on clippers' own pages, so your accounts stay untouched. The clips carry your name and point viewers to your show, and you own every approved clip.
What kind of podcasts work best?
Any show where people talk: interviews, conversations, solo episodes, live shows. If you record at least half an hour a week, you already have plenty of clip material.
How fast can a campaign start?
Usually within a week of the intro call.
Can you guarantee views or new listeners?
No, and you should be careful with anyone who does. You pay only for views that approved clips actually earn, and you see the numbers every week.
