Some social media "clippers" are earning as much as £120,000 a year by making short, vertical videos go viral, according to BBC Business.
Clippers typically take existing content and repackage it into short-form videos designed for platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, where vertical, easily digestible clips tend to perform well with algorithm-driven feeds.
The report highlights clipping as a growing niche within the broader creator economy, where individuals can generate significant income not necessarily by producing original long-form content themselves, but by identifying and reformatting clips likely to perform well on short-form platforms.
Details on how earnings are generated, whether through platform monetization, brand deals, or other arrangements, along with the scale of effort required to reach six-figure income levels, were not fully specified in the available report.
The rise of this kind of work reflects the continued growth of short-form video as a dominant format on social media, with creators adapting their strategies to capture audience attention within increasingly competitive, algorithm-driven platforms.
