Earnings and payouts

How ClipperCircle publishers earn per verified view, how payouts are calculated, and how weekly UPI payouts work.

How much can I earn on ClipperCircle?You earn verified views ÷ 1,000 × the campaign rate, up to the maximum per post. Pomera never promises how many views a post will get.
How is my ClipperCircle payout calculated?Your payout is verified views ÷ 1,000 × the campaign rate per 1,000 views, capped at the maximum per post shown in the brief.
What is a campaign rate for publishers?The campaign rate is what you earn per 1,000 verified views on a post for that campaign. It is shown in the brief before you start.
What is the maximum per post?The maximum per post is the most you can earn from a single post in that campaign. It is shown in the brief, next to the rate.
When do ClipperCircle publishers get paid?Every week by UPI, for posts verified that week. Verified views are counted on day 7 after you post.
How are ClipperCircle payouts sent?Payouts are sent in rupees to your saved UPI ID. Each approved payout is transferred on its own in the weekly run.
Do I get paid if the campaign misses its overall target?Yes. You earn on every verified view your post gets, even if the campaign misses its overall target.
Why isn’t my payout showing yet?Usually because the 7-day count hasn’t finished, the payout is waiting for approval or the weekly run, or there is no UPI ID saved. A recent UPI change also holds payouts.
Do I need a UPI ID to get paid?Yes. Payouts are sent by UPI, so you need one saved UPI ID. Without it, approved payouts wait for a later weekly run.
How do I change my UPI ID?You can change it from your account. Changing an existing UPI ID needs a one-time code sent to your account email, and approved payouts are held for at least seven days after.
Why are payouts held after I change my UPI ID?It is a security measure. If someone else changed your UPI ID, the hold gives you time to notice and stop your money going to the wrong account.
What happens if a payout fails?A failed payout is reviewed by the Pomera team. It isn’t automatically sent again, so the same earning is never paid twice by mistake.
Are ClipperCircle payouts approved manually?Yes. Every payout is approved by the Pomera team before it is sent, after views are verified.
Can my payout be reduced?Your payout is based only on verified views. Views that fail verification are not paid, and any adjustment to a payout is recorded rather than hidden.
Do unverified views get paid?No. Only verified views are paid. Views that don’t pass our checks are filtered out.
Can I download an earnings statement?Yes. Monthly statements are available as CSV downloads, grouped by calendar month in India time, listing campaign, post, verified views, amount and payment reference.
What currency are ClipperCircle payouts in?Payouts are in Indian rupees (₹), sent by UPI.
Do I pay any fee to Pomera as a publisher?No. Joining is free, and you never pay Pomera anything.
What is UPI?UPI, or Unified Payments Interface, is India’s real-time payment system. It lets you receive money directly into your bank account using a UPI ID.
Is my UPI ID stored securely?Yes. Your UPI ID is encrypted at rest and is shown only to you. Changing it needs a one-time code sent to your email.
What does a ClipperCircle payout look like? An exampleExample only: a post with 50,000 verified views at a campaign rate of ₹100 per 1,000 earns 50,000 ÷ 1,000 × ₹100 = ₹5,000, if that is under the maximum per post.
Do more followers mean more money on ClipperCircle?Not directly. You are paid per verified view, not per follower. A small account with a great edit can earn more than a large one.
Do I earn from views my post gets after day 7?No. Views are counted once, on day 7 after you post. Your payout is based on that count.
Can I earn from more than one campaign at a time?Yes. Each campaign has its own brief, rate and maximum per post. You earn on the verified views of each post you make.
Do I need to pay tax on ClipperCircle payouts?Payouts are income, so they may be taxable depending on your situation. Pomera doesn’t give tax advice; check with a tax professional.
