Highest-Paying Clipping Niches in November 2026: Category Rates from 707 Campaigns

Among categories with at least 10 live campaigns, Technology and Health & Wellness had the highest advertised medians on 10 November 2026: $2.00 per 1,000 views. Finance and Sports sat next at $1.50. These are listed campaign rates, not what creators earned, and this is not a live leaderboard of open briefs.

The figures come from 707 public Content Rewards campaigns in the November 2026 clipping CPM rates index. They were captured between 18:34:23 and 18:35:39 Asia/Riyadh.

CPM means cost per 1,000 views. A category is taken as listed on the campaign. Categories with fewer than 10 campaigns are not ranked here.

The overall median across all 707 campaigns was $1.0875. The two largest named categories, Music and Entertainment (105 campaigns each), both had a median of $1.00.

Advertised medians by category

Only categories with 10 or more campaigns are shown. The rate is the campaign-level index rate (the unweighted mean of that campaign's listed platform CPMs).

• Technology: 25 campaigns, 25th pct $1.00, median $2.00, 75th pct $4.00
• Health & Wellness: 22 campaigns, 25th pct $1.50, median $2.00, 75th pct $3.00
• Finance: 17 campaigns, 25th pct $1.00, median $1.50, 75th pct $3.00
• Sports: 13 campaigns, 25th pct $0.50, median $1.50, 75th pct $1.50
• Gaming: 28 campaigns, 25th pct $1.00, median $1.405, 75th pct $2.00
• Lifestyle: 16 campaigns, 25th pct $1.00, median $1.10, 75th pct $2.00

• Personal Brand: 27 campaigns, 25th pct $0.8167, median $1.00, 75th pct $1.583

• No category listed: 122 campaigns, 25th pct $0.7708, median $1.00, 75th pct $2.00

A higher median is not a promise of higher take-home pay. Finance campaigns in this set were more likely to require an application (4 of 17, 23.5%) than Music (1 of 105, 1.0%).

Lifestyle was 5 of 16 (31.2%). Sports, with a $1.50 median, required no applications in this snapshot.

What changes if you only look at clipping

The list above includes UGC (user-generated content: videos creators film for a brand) and mixed briefs. Those listings can pull a category median up.

When we keep only campaigns tagged clipping and not UGC, just seven categories still have 10 or more campaigns:

• Gaming: 18 campaigns, 25th pct $1.00, median $1.125, 75th pct $1.688
• Entertainment: 83 campaigns, 25th pct $1.00, median $1.00, 75th pct $1.646
• Music: 43 campaigns, 25th pct $1.00, median $1.00, 75th pct $2.00
• Personal Brand: 24 campaigns, 25th pct $0.825, median $1.00, 75th pct $1.50
• Podcasts: 15 campaigns, 25th pct $0.875, median $1.00, 75th pct $1.50
• Business: 14 campaigns, 25th pct $0.8125, median $1.00, 75th pct $1.50
• Lifestyle: 14 campaigns, 25th pct $1.00, median $1.00, 75th pct $1.438

In that clipping-only cut, Gaming is the only category above a $1.00 median. Technology, Health & Wellness, Finance, and Sports each had fewer than 10 clipping-only campaigns, so they are not ranked in this list.

If you clip existing footage, do not treat the $2.00 Technology or Health & Wellness medians as the typical clipping rate in those niches. Those headline medians include other content types.

How to use this when you pick a campaign

Start with a category you can actually edit. A $2.00 listing in a niche you do not understand will not help if the clip is rejected.

Then check the live page, not only this list:

• Is there budget left?
• What is the per-clip cap?
• Is there a minimum payout?
• Do you need to apply first?
• Are you allowed to use the source footage? See Is clipping legal?.

Creators pay a 10% fee on CPM payouts. Nothing is approved automatically. For the arithmetic, use the CPM calculator or How to budget a clipping campaign.

Rates change. Check the campaign page before you post. Amounts are shown as listed, in dollars. The campaign pages do not show a currency code.

Frequently asked questions

What is the highest-paying clipping niche right now?

In this 10 November 2026 snapshot, among categories with at least 10 campaigns, Technology and Health & Wellness had the highest advertised medians, both $2.00 per 1,000 views. That includes UGC and mixed briefs. In the clipping-only cut, Gaming had the highest median with enough campaigns, at $1.125.

Do finance or crypto campaigns pay $3 to $7?

This page only uses Content Rewards listings. In this snapshot, Finance had 17 campaigns and an advertised median of $1.50 (25th percentile $1.00, 75th percentile $3.00). Crypto and memecoin labels had fewer than 10 campaigns, so they are not ranked here.

Why isn't Technology in the clipping-only list?

There were only 7 clipping-only Technology campaigns in this snapshot, which is below the 10-campaign cutoff we use for category lists.

Does a higher median mean I will earn more?

No. Take-home pay still depends on approval, remaining budget, the cap, and the 10% creator fee. It also depends on your being able to make a clip the brand accepts.

Are these rates from every clipping marketplace?

No. They are advertised rates on public Content Rewards campaign pages from one afternoon's snapshot. Other marketplaces are not included.
