Why is everyone creating TikToks and YouTube Shorts?

Have you ever wondered how short videos go beyond just gaining popularity and actually turn into income? In this article, we’ll share stories of people making money through a special method called clipping. It’s not just about boosting ‘likes’ or subscriber counts — we’ll explore the secrets of how people turn it into a real source of income.

The way to earn is simpler than you might think — no special tools or big investments are required. In fact, anyone can start regardless of age or gender. If you’re looking for a new opportunity, this article could be the perfect starting point.

TikTok CRP & YouTube Partner Program

A lot of people ask, “Does TikTok pay better, or is YouTube Shorts better?”

The truth is… both. But the way they pay is a bit different. Let’s take a look.

Revenue Comparison: TikTok CRP vs. YouTube Shorts

Now here’s the big question: “Which one makes more money?”

TikTok CRP (Creativity Program Beta)

Eligibility: Anyone with an account can apply (though some countries are not supported)
Earnings: 1M views ≈ $800–$1,000
Note: Only videos 1 minute or longer are eligible for monetization

YouTube Shorts Partner Program

Eligibility: 1,000 subscribers + 10M Shorts views in the last 90 days
Earnings: 1M views ≈ $200–$400
Note: Revenue comes from the Shorts ad revenue pool, and the payout rate is lower than TikTok’s

👉 In short, if you’re just comparing pure view-based payout, TikTok is far more lucrative.

That said, in countries where TikTok Creator Fund/CRP isn’t available, YouTube Shorts becomes the main alternative.

How do you grow a TikTok account?

At first, you create a new account with a fresh email, usually naming it something like “OO Clips.” In the bio, you also tag the main page.

Here’s how the uploading schedule goes:

For the first 1–2 weeks: 1–3 videos a day

After that: 5–10 videos a day

Honestly, most videos won’t get many views. But once one or two go viral, they can lift the whole account. For example, even with just 12K views, you can make about $40 in earnings.

Create Videos Your Way and Make Money — What is Whop?

Many people think that, just like TikTok’s Creativity Program, monetization is only possible in certain countries.

But surprisingly, the method I’m about to share works in as many as 149 countries! Even friends in India or the Philippines are making thousands of dollars every month with it.

It’s all about using Whop to earn money online. Curious how it works?

Whop, simply put, is a platform that connects digital products with a creator rewards system.

Creators or brands can post missions called “Bounties” for specific tasks (e.g., video clipping, UGC production, social media promotion). Participants then complete the mission and submit their work. Rewards are paid out based on performance metrics such as views or engagement — meaning anyone can join and earn money even without followers. All you need to do is follow the provided guidelines.

The best part? The entire process is free — no membership fees, and anyone can get started easily.

For example, Timothy Sykes, who is well known in the U.S. for stock trading education, is also active on Whop.

His video clipping project offered a $2.00 reward per 1,000 views, and with a total of around 29.6 million views, more than $25,000 was paid out to clippers.

By clicking on “Content Rewards,” you can see a list of campaigns that pay per 1,000 views. The idea is simple: watch videos from your favorite creators, cut or edit the most entertaining moments, and upload them to TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube Shorts. After posting, just submit the video link in the Whop Content Rewards app — that’s it! Whop tracks views hourly and pays out your earnings in real time.

To maximize earnings, is choosing the right clipping group important?

When you go to Whop.com, you’ll find the “Content Rewards” tab. There, you’ll see a variety of groups that pay you for creating clips. I usually choose groups based on the “highest budget” filter.

It’s pretty amazing that creators like YouTuber Online Profits Coach have already earned over $20,000, right? Many people are sharing their earnings and results on their own YouTube channels as well as in Whop’s “Payouts” channel.

Does adding only a logo really make money?

If you look at channels like Kick Clipper, they upload dozens of streamer clips every day and rack up hundreds of thousands of views. So how are they making thousands of dollars daily?

Simply by adding the logo of an entertainment company like Stake to their videos. By including the logo, they earn around $0.20 per 1,000 views — and if the video is gambling-related, the payout can go up to $0.50 per 1,000 views. Other companies like Rainbet also offer similar opportunities, so if you’re interested, don’t miss out on this chance.

Clipping sounds difficult? Ssemble does it all for you!

Many beginners make the mistake of downloading an entire one-hour video and manually searching for the parts that might go viral. But there’s absolutely no need for that — because there’s an AI video editing tool called Ssemble.

Ssemble’s AI clipping feature automatically analyzes long videos and cuts out only the most entertaining, high-performing segments. On top of that, it automatically adds captions and highlight effects, so you instantly get a polished video ready to upload to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.

This means you don’t need complex editing skills or expensive software — anyone can create viral short-form videos in just minutes. In fact, many creators have cut their production time by more than half thanks to Ssemble, while also gaining both views and revenue through shorts. [See the real case study of shorts_top12]

Clipping may soon become one of the easiest ways to make money. It’s an attractive opportunity that anyone can start without special skills or a big budget. Start now and turn your videos into cash!

Clip Videos — Is Uploading Enough?

Once you’ve made your video, you’ll need to upload it to platforms like TikTok. At first, it’s important to consistently post 1–3 videos a day to “warm up” your account. This helps TikTok’s algorithm build trust with your profile. After one or two weeks, try increasing to 5–10 videos per day. Running multiple accounts can also raise your chances of going viral.

In the End, Consistency Matters Most

Using AI tools is important, but the real key is consistency. Don’t give up just because you don’t make money on day one. When I started, I also earned nothing for weeks — but by posting steadily, my income began to grow. Like compound interest, the longer you stick with it, the more views and money you can make. The smart approach is to combine AI with persistence.

Surely, you’re not planning to manually write titles and descriptions and schedule every post one by one, right? With the Ssemble AI clipping tool, you can generate 10 clips in just 5 minutes, which is enough for about 3 days’ worth of content. Repeat this a few times, and you’ll have a full month of clips ready. Then, simply use the Scheduler feature to set them all up in advance. The AI will even generate the titles and descriptions for you automatically.

2025 — Now Is the Time to Start

The creator economy will only continue to grow. Right now is the best time to start monetizing online content. Within the next two years, the market size is expected to double — but at the same time, competition will become much more intense. That’s why starting today gives you a huge advantage. Don’t hesitate — step into the world of online monetization with AI now!
