Frequently asked questions

What is ClipScout Daily?

A free daily ranking of the best-paying live clipping campaigns. We rank by effective CPM after fees, budget left, and how fast each budget is being spent, and link every campaign to its original page.

Where do the campaigns come from?

Public campaign listings on boards whose terms allow automated collection (currently Promote.fun), plus campaigns submitted directly by brands and agencies. We do not collect from platforms whose terms prohibit it.

What is CPM in clipping?

CPM is what a campaign pays per 1,000 views of your clip. A $2 CPM pays $2 for every 1,000 eligible views, until the campaign's budget runs out.

How is the ranking calculated?

Score = effective CPM (CPM minus the platform fee) × a runway factor (days of budget left at the current spend rate, capped at 7) × log10(1 + budget left) × a per-clip cap factor. Spend rate is measured from our own snapshots; until we have 6+ hours of history it is estimated as amount paid ÷ days since launch.

How often is it updated?

Campaign data is collected about every 30 minutes and the Top 10 is published once a day. Budgets change fast, so always check the campaign page before posting.

Is it free?

Yes. The daily Top 10 is free on this site, in the email digest and in our Discord (https://discord.gg/vjdYeWBX8B).
