The Bonus
Cash to join.
Cash to refer.
Highlight pays clippers when they ship their first clip — and pays again when they bring in another clipper worth approving. The good ones know the good ones.
Join bonus
$5
Paid after your first verified clip posts. Land your first campaign and the bonus hits your account on the next payout cycle.
One-time Per clipper
Referral bonus
$10
Paid when a clipper you brought in posts their first verified clip. Stacks every time a referral lands their first post.
Up to 5 referrals per clipper
Anti-fraud: bonuses are gated on a verified clip post — not on a Discord join, not on OAuth alone — and deduped by channel ownership and account signals. One real operator, one join bonus. Duplicate account farming gets clippers removed and any pending bonuses voided.

Join the DiscordWho can apply?
Clippers with verifiable channels on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram. Every application is reviewed by hand before campaign access.
How long does approval take?
Most applications get a decision within 72 hours. Every application is reviewed by hand — no bots, no scoring algorithm.
What does it cost?
Nothing for clippers. Brands pay a campaign fee. There are no deductions from clipper payouts.
How do payouts work?
Posts are verified, then paid ASAP on a 48-hour rolling window. Clippers can choose ACH, PayPal, or crypto payouts.
Which platforms can I clip on?
YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Campaign briefs may focus on one or more platforms, but Highlight supports all three.
What happens if a brand disputes a clip?
Disputes route through our team, not the clipper. If a clip meets the brief, we pay you. If a brand violates terms, we cover the gap and pursue them — that's our problem, not yours.
