One long video. Four steps.

A brand gives us one long video. You cut the best bits into short clips, post them on your own account, and get paid for the views. That's the whole job.

One long video
Try Not To Laugh · full episode · 29 min

A brand sends one long video

A podcast, a launch, an interview, a whole event. Usually 30 minutes to an hour. It went up once, got watched once, and has been sitting in a folder ever since.

You don't film anything. The footage is already made. This one is a real episode from our Mwotaji campaign.

Clips cut from the episode, ready to post

You cut out the best bits

The funny line, the strong opinion, the bit that makes someone stop scrolling. Cut it to 15–60 seconds, vertical, captions on. CapCut on your phone is all you need.

One long video usually has ten or twenty clips in it. These three came from the episode above.

TikTok
Reels
Shorts

You post it on your own account

Not ours. Yours. You keep the account, you keep the followers, and you keep posting whatever else you normally post.

Use an account you already have, or start a fresh one. Both work.

You get paid for the views

Every view is checked before anyone is paid, so nobody games it. Money goes straight to M-Pesa. Every clip earns on its own, so the more you post the more you earn.

Rates move a little campaign to campaign, and every clip has a cap.

What you need

  • A phone
  • CapCut, which is free
  • One account, TikTok or Instagram
  • An eye for what people actually watch

What you don't need

  • Followers
  • A laptop or a camera
  • Money to join — it's free, always
  • To hand over your login. We never ask.

Seriously — anyone can do this. Start here →

Clipper questions.

Is it free to join Katafy Clippers?

Yes. Joining, training and campaign access are free. You never pay Katafy to clip.

Do I need a lot of followers?

No. Beginners are welcome. Short-form platforms show good content to non-followers, so strong clips can get views from small accounts. Clippers who perform well move up to Verified and VIP campaigns.

How do I get paid?

After your clip is reviewed and its views are verified, you're paid via M-Pesa on the weekly payout day. Rates, minimum views and maximum payouts are listed in each campaign brief.

What do I need to start?

A smartphone, the free CapCut app, and a TikTok, Instagram or YouTube account. Our free course covers the rest.

Can I use bots or buy views?

No. Fake views are detected. Clips with fake views are not paid, and the clipper is removed from the community.

What is the VIP club?

VIP is an invite-only tier for our top-performing clippers. VIPs get private brand campaigns, first access to new campaigns and the best rates.
