Advertiser Quick Start: Launch Your First Clip Campaign

Launching a clip campaign on NovaCollabs takes about five minutes. Here is the step-by-step checklist to go from signup to your first funded campaign, with no jargon and no surprises.

Step 1: Sign up as an advertiser

Create a free advertiser account. Pick the "Start collab'ing" role ("I run campaigns") when you register, and you are in. There is no approval queue and your dashboard is live immediately.

Fund Your Campaign

1. Sign in to your advertiser dashboard.
2. Find your campaign in the list and click its Fund button to open the campaign detail page at /campaigns/{CampaignId}.
3. Review the budget and the platform fee shown before you pay, then complete payment.

Creators can apply to a funded campaign within 24 hours.

Step 2: Create your first clipping campaign

Pick "Clipping" as the campaign type and fill in the basics: a title, a description of what you want clippers to pull from, the source content (a podcast, stream, or video), and any rules like minimum clip length or required tags. The clearer your brief, the better the clips you will receive. For a deeper walkthrough, read how to run a clipping campaign that gets views.

Step 3: Set your budget and fund the campaign

Decide what you will pay per 1,000 views and how much to budget in total. A competitive CPM attracts more clippers, and a per-clip payout cap keeps any single clip from draining your budget. Fund the campaign through PayPal and it goes live on the marketplace immediately.

Step 4: Review submissions and approve the best clips

Once your campaign is live, clippers start submitting clips, often within hours. You review each submission, verify the view count, and approve the ones that meet your brief. You only pay for clips you accept, so every dollar goes toward content you can actually use.
