Clipping campaigns

The board below has three parts. RUCKUS campaigns holds our own work, and it is empty, because no buyer has funded a campaign yet. Our Whop campaign hub explains where briefs and Content Rewards submissions will live. The dedicated join link is coming soon. Eight questions before you cut anything is the checklist for reading a brief on any platform, including ours.

RUCKUS campaigns

Our Whop campaign hub

RUCKUS campaigns use Whop with Content Rewards. Discord is the community. The Whop join link is coming soon. For clipper earnings, RUCKUS takes nothing from any of them. The studio fee is billed separately to the buyer.

Eight questions before you cut anything

Every campaign on every platform can be read the same way. Ask these in order. If a brief cannot answer them, that is your answer.

1. What is the rate, and in what unit?
   Platforms quote per 1,000, per 100,000 and per million, and the same money looks very different in each. Convert everything to dollars per 1,000 before you compare anything.
2. What is the minimum view threshold?
   Below it a clip pays nothing and those views do not roll over. A high rate behind a high floor and a modest rate behind a low floor are different jobs.
3. Is there a per-clip cap, and how much budget is left?
   A cap stops one clip draining the pot, which protects the buyer and limits your upside on a winner. Budget remaining tells you whether the campaign is worth starting at all.
4. Where does the source material come from?
   A campaign that hands you a folder of footage is a different amount of work from one that expects you to find and cut from live streams yourself.
5. What exactly gets a clip denied?
   If the campaign will not tell you before you submit, you are working blind. This is the single best signal of whether an operator is worth your time.
6. Who pays, when, and through what?
   Know the platform, the hold period and the payout method before you start, not after your first clip lands.
7. Does a team or captain take a cut of your payout?
   On some networks joining a team means a share of everything you earn goes to whoever runs it, and the rate is not always shown to you before you are paid. Ask for the number in writing first. RUCKUS never takes a cut of what a clipper earns, anywhere.
8. Is the disclosure requirement stated?
   If a campaign pays you to post, you have to say so at the start of the video and switch on the platform's paid-content tool. A brief that does not mention this is a brief written by someone who has not read the rules.

Convert every rate to dollars per 1,000

Campaigns may quote rates per thousand, per hundred thousand or per million views. A rate announced per million reads as ten times larger than the identical rate quoted per 100,000 views. Divide a per-100,000 rate by 100 and a per-million rate by 1,000, and you have dollars per 1,000 in both cases. Do that before you compare two campaigns, so you compare the same unit, alongside the minimums, caps and qualifying-view rules.

Two more things a headline rate does not tell you. It is a maximum: clips under the minimum threshold pay nothing, and clips denied in review pay nothing. And a high rate can come with a high minimum, which is only worth taking if you already move that kind of volume on one account.

What a RUCKUS brief contains

When our own campaigns open, every one is built from the same standard, so once you have read one brief you can read all of them. These nine fields appear before you cut anything.

How the money moves on a RUCKUS campaign

• The buyer funds their own campaign in their own organization using Whop and Content Rewards. The money never passes through RUCKUS and we never hold campaign funds.
• The platform pays clippers directly out of that pot, on the platform's own schedule.
• RUCKUS invoices the buyer separately, at 20% of the approved budget. That fee is never taken out of the clipper pot.
• Nothing is ever sold to clippers. There is no course, no paid tier and no fee to join, and that stays true when our own campaigns open.

Questions, answered

Why are you pointing me at places you do not earn from?

Because clippers with nothing to work on leave. We would rather you work somewhere else this month and still be here when our own campaigns open. RUCKUS is paid by buyers on an invoice, so where you work in the meantime costs us nothing.

Do I have to join RUCKUS to use this?

No. The board is public and free, and so is every guide in the library. Join Discord to meet other clippers and follow campaign updates. Submission review will run through each campaign’s published process when campaigns open.

Why does the board not list individual campaigns?

Campaigns open and close without warning when a budget runs out, so any list of them here would be wrong within days. The campaign hub and the checklist help you find and assess current work. Read the live rate and the remaining budget on the platform itself before you cut.

What do you get out of it?

Clippers who trust the board join the room, and a bench that is good at this is what makes a buyer's campaign work. We are paid by buyers, on an invoice, at a rate printed on our pricing page.

Should I join a team on another platform?

Read the commission terms first. Some teams charge a disclosed commission or service fee. That may still be worth it if the captain gives you real briefs and real feedback. Ask for the number before you agree.
