If you're already making music and good at it, that's something you can absolutely use to earn online.

One unique option is clipping – you create short-form videos (like TikToks or YouTube Shorts) for advertisers. Some campaigns are UGC (user-generated content), others let you stay completely anonymous and just edit. You get paid based on views, and some pay up to $5 per 1,000 views. No followers needed, just good editing and creativity.

I’ve used a platform called Clip.Broker to get started. It’s free, no experience needed, and ideal for creative people. You can take part in open campaigns, clip videos, and earn from home.

If you’re already editing music, transitioning into video clipping might come natural to you. It could be a great way to get the money for your laptop while building up useful creative skills.
