Part 1 of my clipping experiment would have made $24. Part 2 with AI: $464 for real this time and counting 🎬🤖
New here? I quit my tech job to take a year off and test ways to make money outside a 9–5. In Part 1, I clipped a video game by hand and would’ve made a whopping $24 😂 This time I set up Claude to find, edit and post reality TV clips for me, and did it for a real live campaign submitted for real earnings.
The results so far: 497K views and $464 in pending payments, with more on the way 👀 (and it could have been an easy +$150 if I hadn’t made a mistake of submitting one video 3 minutes past the deadline! 😭)
Want to try it yourself? Here’s the prompt I used: bit.ly/netflix_clipping_prompt (also in my bio 🔗, comment LIB if you want it DMed) - I found this campaign on contentrewards.com and it’s nearing the end of its budget so you’ll probably need to find a new campaign to clip for
Would try this? 👇
UPDATE: posted a more detailed step by step guide!

I bad AI make 20 clips of a reality TV show, posted it online, and got paid without watching a single minute. As a total newbie trying this for the very first time, brand new TikTok accounts that have zero followers. Let's see how much I got paid. Brands will pay people to post clips of their reality TV shows, and you get paid for every 1,000 views that you get. I found this campaign from the TV show Love is Blind that pays you to post clips of their most recent season, and they give you the full episodes that you can use to clip up. Zero experience, zero followers, and I made one mistake that cost me a tier, but we'll get to that later. I did this entirely with Claude. For science, I didn't even watch any of the clips that Claude gave me before I posted them on TikTok. Here's the prompt that I use, which I even yes Claude to help me write. It took me two to three hours to post 20 videos. Most of that was just manually uploading these videos to TikTok and Instagram. So after one weekend, my clips so far are earning me $464 and that number is gonna keep going up as these videos get views, and I have even more pending videos that I haven't uploaded for approval yet. So this campaign has a process where you have to upload your demographic data before the clips get approved to show that the clips are getting views in US, Canada, and other tier one countries. Then there's this mistake that cost me a $150. You have to submit each clip within thirty minutes of posting it. This one has a 150,000 views, and I submitted it three minutes late. If these results held up and I worst two hours a day, five days a week, I could make a $120,000 a year working two hours a day. But there's a chance that I also just got lucky. Looking around, there's not that rank campaigns with other reality TV shows, and a lot of the other ones have stricter requirements, like you have to have a following of a certain type, like k pop fans. I think the process that I use though could work for podcasts and other media like that. Since this was my very first try, I'm curious to use Claude to further optimize this process and see if I can have Claude actually upload the videos for me too and make this a truly passive income stream. What about you? Is this something you would try given these results aren't guaranteed and you only get paid for views? So you could make $400 for two hours of work, but you could also get paid nothing. Follow for part three.
