Eknoor Singh, a 22-year-old Londoner, makes up to £120,000 a year as a 'clipper', creating short, engaging videos for clients like clothing brands and influencers.
Singh finds the best bits of longer videos, typically 30 to 60 seconds, and uploads them to social media platforms. Ethan Weems from Wichita, Kansas, earns at least $1,000 a month from similar work. However, social media consultant Lia Haberman warns that only a few clippers make significant money. Streaming industry analyst Devin Nash cautions that successful clippers must dedicate significant time to their work. Websites like Clipping Culture and Vyro connect clients with clippers, making the process more accessible.
