Mistakes that get clips rejected
The common reasons clips are rejected or earn nothing, and how to avoid each one.
3 min read
In short
- Most rejections come from not following the brief: a missing watermark, wrong length or wrong platform.
- Bought views and engagement pods get clips and accounts banned.
- Reposting someone else's edit is the fastest way to lose a campaign.
The usual suspects
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Missing or covered watermark | Keep it in the top third for the whole clip |
| Too long or too short | Check the brief's length before you edit |
| Captions under app buttons | Keep captions above the bottom fifth |
| Bought views | Never. Grow with more clips instead |
| Reposted edit | Always cut your own from the source |
| Private or deleted post | Keep posts public until payout |
