I want to clip

I have a brand

Fund a campaign and let creators post for you.

  1. 1Tap I have a brand. Seven short questions follow, one per screen.
  1. 1Brand name. What creators will see on the campaign card.
  2. 2Website. Optional. A bare domain is fine; we add the https.
  3. 3Instagram. Optional. Your brand's handle, so creators can find your content.
  4. 4Are you already clipping your content? Yes or no. It tells us whether you have footage and a process, or are starting from scratch, and shapes the first conversation with the team.
  5. 5Do you have a budget in mind? A range, or "not sure." Nothing is charged; this is so the team can point you at the right kind of first campaign.
  6. 6Contact. A phone number, so a person can reach you if a campaign needs a decision fast.
  7. 7Login. Your work email and a password. No email code for brands.

Step 5 of 7: Budget

Do you have a budget in mind?

Under $1,000$1,000 to $5,000
$5,000 to $20,000
$20,000 or moreNot sure yet
  1. 1Pick a range, or Not sure. Nothing is charged; it helps the team suggest the right first campaign.

You land on the brand dashboard. The team also sees your answers and may reach out with a suggestion for a first campaign.

The dashboard

The sidebar:

  • Home. Spend, views and clips across everything, live.
  • Campaigns. Yours, with their burn and status. New campaign lives here.
  • Submissions. Every clip waiting for review, with counts, sources and flags.
  • Creators. Applications to your campaigns, waiting for approval.
  • Payouts. Where every dollar committed to creators stands.
  • Insights. Reach and engagement over time.
  • Finance. Your balance, history, and Add funds. Admins only.
  • Team. Seats for teammates with roles.
  • Settings and Help.
Brand panel
  1. 1Finance: your balance and Add funds. Admins only. Do this first; campaigns are funded from the balance.
  2. 2Campaigns: create the campaign, then fund it from its page.
  3. 3Creators and Submissions are where applications and clips wait for you once the campaign is live.

The first three things to do

Add funds. Finance, then Add funds. Checkout is handled by Whop; your balance updates here once the payment confirms. Campaigns are funded from this balance.

Have your footage ready. A campaign needs source material creators can cut from: a link to the raw video, a folder of assets, or a channel. The better the footage, the better the clips.

Create the campaign. Fund and launch a campaign walks through the form field by field, and set your rate and caps covers the numbers.

Things people are unsure about here

Is there a subscription? No. You fund campaigns, and a 10% platform fee is charged on what creators actually earn. Anything unspent comes back to your balance when a campaign closes, including the fee on it.

Do I need to be approved? No. The account is live at signup. A person from the team may reach out, and that is a conversation, not a gate.

Can my team log in too? Yes. Team, then Invite. Each seat has its own login and a role. Invite your team covers roles.

Is my phone number shared with creators? No. Creators see the brand name, the brief and the campaign card. Contact details stay with the team.
