- 3ways a Short can earn
- Verticalready to post
- No subscriptioncredits are spent only on the clips you make
01 — How it works
Five steps. You stay in control.
Each step shows what happens on your screen. You pick every clip, and nothing is posted for you.
Select clip
Paste a YouTube link and pick the moments you want — nothing is cut or posted for you. Better Shorts get more views, and more views mean more from your own YouTube monetization.
Captions
Add word-by-word captions, burned into your clip — most Shorts are watched on mute, so captions keep viewers watching.
Username
Add your @handle as a small overlay burned into every clip, so viewers know who made it and where to follow you.
Campaign
Add a track from our catalogue and, on the paid plan, earn your share of what the music makes. Add the ClipsYou ad too and earn from the same views.
Share
Post it as a Short. On the paid plan, track its public views and your estimated music earnings in your wallet.
02 — How you earn
Three separate ways. Each with its own rules.
Each way is paid by a different party, under its own conditions — so each stands on its own.
Earn from YouTube
Better Shorts get more views, and more views mean more from your own YouTube monetization — creators in India report about ₹8–₹15 per 1,000 views.
Who earns this: Channels that meet YouTube's own eligibility rules for Shorts revenue sharing — YouTube decides who qualifies, not ClipsYou.
₹8–₹15per 1,000 views
Earn from our music
Add a track from our catalogue and, on the paid plan, your share of what the music earns is about ₹0.50–₹0.70 per 1,000 views.
Who earns this: A Short that uses a track from our catalogue, once you track it on the paid plan.
₹0.50–₹0.70per 1,000 views
Earn from ads
Add the ClipsYou ad to the end of a clip and, on the paid plan, earn an estimated ₹1,000 per 1M views on your approved Short.
Who earns this: A Short that carries a campaign’s ad, once it is approved, on the paid plan.
₹1,000per 1M views
Every figure here is an average estimate. It moves with your content, how often you post, advertiser demand and YouTube's own view adjustments. It is not guaranteed income, and no one can promise you a total.
03 — Ad campaigns
The third way to earn. Ad campaigns.
Add a campaign’s short ad to the end of your clip, then publish your Short. Once it is approved, the paid plan earns on its views at the campaign’s estimated rate.
ClipsYou ad campaign — an estimated ₹1,000 per 1M views
Live- Campaign size

- 10-sec ad at the end

05 — Common questions
Plain answers.
How much can I earn?
There is no fixed amount — it depends on how many people watch your Shorts and how consistently you post. As average estimates: creators in India report about ₹8–₹15 per 1,000 views from YouTube; from our music, your share of what it earns is recently about ₹0.50–₹0.70 per 1,000 views; and the ClipsYou ad campaign currently pays an estimated ₹1,000 per 1M views. Nobody can promise you a total.
When do I get paid?
YouTube pays its own revenue to you directly. Earnings from our music and ad campaigns are paid through your ClipsYou wallet, which is part of the paid plan: a month's views show as an estimate first, then lock on the 10th of the next month. From the 25th of any month you can request a payout of your whole payable balance, once it reaches the minimum of ₹500. Our team pays by bank transfer.
Is ClipsYou free?
Signing up is free, and so is finding the best moments in your videos, within a daily limit. Earning from our music — tracking your Shorts and the wallet — is part of the paid plan, which you unlock with credits; there's no subscription. The Pricing page shows the packs.
What is Content ID?
In YouTube's own words: “Some copyright owners use Content ID, YouTube's automated content identification system, to easily identify and manage their copyright-protected content on YouTube.” “If Content ID finds a match, the matching video will get a Content ID claim.” “Copyright claims affect videos, but usually don't impact your channel or account.” Our music earns through Content ID, and on the paid plan you keep 50% of what it earns from your Shorts.
Do I need to know editing?
No. You paste a link, pick the moments you want, and ClipsYou reframes them into vertical Shorts — no editing software.
