For brands - commission UGC and pay only for views
Dozens of clips about your product in days: what a clipping contest costs a brand, who holds the budget, how views are verified, what changes after launch.
Dozens of clips about your product go out on creators' accounts within days, and you pay for the views they collected, not for the fact that someone filmed one. Creating a contest is free, and the contest commission is 0%: the platform keeps no share of the prize budget. You set the rate per 1000 views, the view threshold and the cap per submission, all three sit on the contest card before a creator takes the task, and an unspent wallet-backed budget comes back to your balance.
Nobody's word decides the count: the platform's independent counter reads the published view counter of the site each clip went out on, so there is nothing to argue about after publication.
Set the contest up on darebay.com; the formats and terms for business are on the business page.
Short answers to the questions brands ask first
- How you pay clippers. One task with a rate per 1000 views: each clipper who sends in a link is credited by formula for the views the clip got, up to the cap per submission. Fulfilment is done by the team, with no promised date: how to pay clippers per view.
- What it costs. Only the prize budget you set yourself: creating the contest is free. The contest commission is 0%, and there is no separate charge for topping up the budget.
- Who holds the budget. The platform. A contest you publish yourself has its budget locked on DareBay from that moment, so creators know the money is real, and whatever they did not earn comes back to your balance.
- What if nobody shows up. A wallet-backed budget goes only to views that happened: no submissions, or none over the threshold, means nothing to pay for.
- How views are verified. The figure is read from the site's public counter, never sent as a screenshot; a submission with suspicious view dynamics goes on hold for review instead of into your bill. Statistics are collected today for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and the other sites named in the task.
- What you can change after launch. The cap per submission, the deadline, a pause, a budget top-up and the creator block list. The rate and the threshold are fixed once the contest is live: what changes and what does not.
- CPA offers. For results rather than reach, a task can pay clippers on a CPA basis: a fixed amount per accepted clip plus a share of the sales it brings, set out in the task before anyone starts.
- Why this beats private arrangements. One task instead of a chat with a dozen creators, and no view figure ever arrives as a screenshot: how to commission clips for a campaign.
Said up front: the amount is calculated automatically, but the payout to creators is fulfilled by the team with no promised date, and a suspicious submission goes on hold rather than vanishing silently.
