How to start a clipping agency
How clipping agencies are organised: finding campaigns, cutting clips, running accounts and getting paid per view. And why posting becomes the bottleneck as you grow.
What a clipping agency does
A clipping agency turns long-form content (streams, podcasts, interviews) into short vertical clips and posts them across many accounts. Creators or brands pay for the reach, often per view through campaign platforms or by direct deal.
Where the work comes from
Most agencies start on clipping campaign platforms and Discord or Whop communities, where creators post campaigns with rules and payout rates. Direct deals with creators come later, once you can show results.
The roles you need
Someone who finds and manages campaigns, editors who cut clips with strong hooks and captions, and someone who posts to every account on time. In a small team one person does all three; as you grow they split.
Accounts and niches
Agencies run separate accounts per niche or per campaign so each audience gets content that fits. Every account needs consistent posting, which multiplies the daily posting work.
Where posting gets stuck
Editing scales with editors. Posting scales with people and phones: every account, every slot, every day, in the right time zone. This is where missed posts, wrong accounts and late-night shifts start.
Read the rules
Follow each campaign's rules and the platform's terms. Disclose paid promotion where it is required. Reach is never guaranteed; the content decides how far a clip goes.

You keep finding campaigns and cutting clips. We post the finished clips from real iPhones on your schedule. You upload to Google Drive and watch in the client dashboard, with a weekly report. $500 per iPhone per month.
Questions
Do I need my own phones to start?
Not at the start. Many agencies begin by posting by hand. Once posting takes hours a day, it is worth handing off.
Does ReelFleet find campaigns or cut clips?
No. You bring the campaigns and the finished clips; we post them.
Do you guarantee views?
No. Your content decides how far a clip goes. We keep posting consistent.
