I keep seeing founders claim they hit their first $10k organic through clipping, people repurposing and reposting clips of their content. Before I sink time into this I want to understand the actual mechanics. A few things I can't figure out from the outside: - Is this mostly the CPM model (you pay per 1000 verified views) or the affiliate/commission model (clippers only get paid on sales)? Feels like the "organic, zero cost" claims only make sense with the second one. - What raw content actually gives clippers enough to work with and to get the best results? For a pre-revenue or early-revenue SaaS with basically a tiny marketing budget, is this even realistic, or does it only work once you already have some audience/content volume? Would love to hear from anyone who's actually tested this, even a small scale test.
